Freeze Out for Lockiaw.

An Omaha genius has discovered cure
for lockjaw. With so many cures for con-
sumption. cancer and the other great ills of
man it is perplexing why some persons are
so careless as to die The trouble with
most of these cures is that they do not
cure. Such rage has there been for rush
ing into print with accounts of marvellous
remedies which have proved of no avail
that people have become wary and give
little credence to these reports
The Omaha cure for lockjaw operates
on the freeZe-out principle. Experience
has shown that this principle is efficacious
when applied to certain persons but so far
as known here ii has never before been
tried on a person suffering from lockjaw.
1t has been effective in the treatment of
persons whose jaws are never locked.
The report has it that Omaha lad in
commissions from tetanus was placed in the
chill room of a brewery; the commissions
ceased and the patients condition i'm
proved. 1t is hoped that there may be some
good in the treatment and that it is not
merely. scheme to advertise a sensa tional
physician or a brand of beer. 1t Is also
hoped that the proposition to treat patients
in the chill room of brewery will not
produce epidemic of lockjaw.

Fake Science,

The Wall Street Journal. a newspaper
which usually restricts itself to considera-
ton of stock market. financial and trade
subjects. went out OF its ordinary orbit last
week to decry a certain phase of sensational
journalism. 1t protests against fake scien-
tific discoveries Two recent articles in
the Sunday edition of a newspaper of high
standing are cited One of these yarns
related that an Indiana doctor had mixed
some chemicals and from this mixture pro-
duced a six-legged. winged bug which
lived for several days. This doctor was re-
ported to have created other living things
from his mysterious compound. 1t may be
that the doctor drank the mixture and saw
the six-legged and two-wnged bug But
seen pink rats chasing each other across
the ceiling of his boudoir the case would
not be uncommon.
Another of the class of stories deprecated
was one alleged to be demonstration that
Newton's law of gravity Is all wrong. The
article was serious in tone If not in pur-
pose and was couched in ..pseudo-scientific
jargon."

The Crop Report.

The crop report issued Saturday afternoon
by the chief of the bureau of statistics
Department of Agriculture, is bright on the
outlook for corn, hopeless as to wheat and
satisfactory as to all the other cereals
Oats and barley are slightly worse off than
month ago. but considerably better than
on September l last year, and their condi-
ton is safely above the ten-year average
Rye improved between August 1 and Sep
TENDER 1. and while it's condition is below
last year. it is higher than the ten-year
average.
That part of the report dealing with corn
is of national interest. 1t gives the condi-
ton on September l as $40. That is all
the report says but it is significant. If
that condition be maintained up to harvest
the acreage being 92,cO0.OOO, the crop will
be close upon 300, OO0, GOO bushels. Much
of the crop must face the frost danger, but
1t faces that each September. Private crop
reports from the west say that much corn
Is still in the milk, and that three weeks
good weather will be required to mature it,
Down in the southwest, where much corn
has been cut, there are late fields, where
the plant is green to the tassel Private
observers in Iowa say that a good deal of
the corn in that state is yet in the silk
1t is expected that corn will be killed by
frost several times between now and Oc-
tober /.

Stamping for the Presidency

Democrats who oppose a stamping tour
for Judge Parker quote the fate OF Mr..
Greeley, Of Mr.. Blaine and of Mr.. BRYAN
They suggest that If those men had re-
manned at home after their nominate ton
things might have gone differently with
them. The argument is not sound Not one
of the candidates named was defeated or
injured by his stumping tour
Mr.. Greeley never had a chance to win.
His nomination exhibited the divided con-
dition of the opposition to General Grant,
and prefgured defeat. His speeches on his
tour were not Incorporate. They were prob
ably better deliverances than would have
proceeded from him had he remained al
home and used the editorial columns of his
newspaper. He was often Incorporate with
his pen But face to face with the people
and accompanied by friends who had his
interests at heart. he spoke well and enter
tainingly. Success by any means in his
power was out of the question.
Mr.. Blaine led a party which In that year
was divided In the all important state OF
New York The Conlsling men were open
ly antagonistic to him. and the Arthur men
lukewarm. There is no reason to believe
that he lost votes by his railroad journeys
He was in happy and even brilliant form
as a speaker everywhere. DIR. Burehard's
blunder might have been committed In the
parlors OF Mr.. Blaine's residence at Au-

the stumplng tour.
As for Mr.. Bryan. his retirement to Lin
coin after the Chicago nomination would
have been blunder. He had set his party
on fire with an exhibition of his eloquence.
and democrats everywhere wanted to see
and hear him. He did right in touring the
country. He did not win. because the plat
form upon which he was standing could
not stand the strain of the test to which
the opposition subjected it. But his
speeches added nothing to the democratic
disadvantages.
Within a few hours after the adoption of
the St. Louis platform by the national con-
vention. Judge Parker's gold supporters in
New York were telling him that his nominal
ton as matters stood was not worth plea
yune. He forthwith sent his gold telegram,
and for fortnight things hummed. But
now things appear~to be lifeless again. and
he is adjured to put life back into them by
taking the stump. The argument is that he
could not possibly injure his canvass. for
1t is as bad off as can be, but might, by
few speeches at well-chosen points, renew
the effect of his announcement to the st.
Louis convention.

The Oyster.
From the Baltimore American.

AS the Chesapeake oyster crop has grown
annually less. the general demand has
grown annually greater The oyster appe-
lite prevails from the Alleghenies to the
Rockies, and the great interior has IN the
past looked to the Chesapeake Bay to meet
the demand for the savory mollusk. But
in recent years this general demand has
been supplied largely from the bayous and
estuaries of the gulf coast. The inets from
the Long Island Sound and those that in
dent the coast of New Jersey are also pro-
ducing output of high grade oysters
that is increasing constantly from a care
full and intelligent system of artificial cuI-
ture. Many of these northern beds are
supplied with young oysters from the lower
Chesapeake, especially from Virginia wa
ters Original propagation has been adopt
ed in many of the northern waters where
the natural supply has become almost ex-
tinct. Notwithstanding the fact that the
oyster product has been increased vastly
in other sections by artificial breeding, the
present price of the oyster is double that
which prevailed a generation back. 1t is
to be feared that the oyster may in time
become a high-priced dainty instead Of a
general article of diet.

He had the credit of advising war meas

been afioat a day in any of the Russian
operations either at Port Arthur or VIadi-
vostok. while on the land the Russian
disasters. strangely enough. have taken
place without assistance from him. His
complete eclipse is shown in the fact that
the same wire that brings the rumor of his
retirement brings the news of the thirteenth
sailing of the Baltic fleet for the scene of
conflict, Had he retained any of his former
favor he would probably have been desig-
mated to take charge of that force upon it's

Went for Experience; Got It.

Some persons are hard to satisfy and
some will not be satisfied at all. Some ap
pear to get their highest enjoyment out of
dissatisfaction. There are persons who can
not talk except in opposition. There are so
many chronic "aginne-s!"
Take, for instance tie Virginia maneuvers.
When wells We're being drilled. pipes laid
and MIGRANTS set up that the troops might
have water the "aginner' laughed one OF
those satirical laughs which mean this is
just too rich for anything" The idea of
passing sparkling water in crystal bowls to

the War Department SEND down manicure
sets and pajamas for the troops and start
a florist shop so that eveIy bowld sojer boy

When Gen. Corbin announced that at the
end of the days work officers invited to
dinner at headquarters should wash and put
on their regimentals the 'aginners'' chuck
led with that rare delight which an old hen
expresses when she fin is angle worm for
her brood Then when the announcement
was made that some CT the officers in
spectiOn duty would ride from camp to
camp in an automobile the "aginners' held
their sides and roared till tears of glee rain
ed from their laughing eyes. oh! Fury"
they cried. What pink-tea picnic! Ice
cream and bon-bons will be served on the

Before the maneuve-s We're held they

many veterans in actual war service. Many
of the National GGardsmen could not

cannot march are about useless when
needed as troops thai cannot shoot Brave
feet are as essential as brave hearts. Great
attention is paid in modern regular armies
to the feet and shoes Of the men. It will be

The Presidents Letter.

The Presidents letter of acceptance is an
elaborate of his speech of acceptance. In
both the republican case is very strongly
stated. The speech alone would have left
little TO be desired by his party. The letter
will leave the most accomplished of the
republican spellbindeTs little to say. 1t is
In the Presidents direct style. The words
are short and familiar. and no attempt APP
pears at phrase-making or tall writing.
No man of intelligence will rise from it's
perusal in any doubt about the author s
meaning or intentions. 1t is calculated for
vote getting. and is likely to serve that end.
Every issue is taken up and treated with
sufficient fullness. First the record of the
party and the administration Is reviewed
as to finance, the tariff. foreign affairs,
capital and labor. the isthmian canal and
other things, and then follows the promise
that an Endorsement at the polls will mean
a continuation of the party's course. The
gold standard will be maintained, protec-
ton will be maintained. the flag will con-
tinue to fly In our new possessions where 1t
now flies, the isthmIan canal as a settled
project will be advanced. our strength on
the sea will be increased, and our pros
perty at home safeguarded by the policies
which have done so much to produce it. If

gestion it must have been an oversight
Clearly he is willing to meet the opposition
on any ground
The liveliest interest will attach now to
Judge Parkers letter, which we are to
have in few days. His speech did not
satisfy his party. Some prominent demo-
Gratis thought parts of 1t absurd and others
thought other parts unfortunate. Since
then he has conferred with eminent men
like Mr. Olney, and John G. Carlisle. and
Judge Gray, and should have benefited, as
doubtless he did, by their suggestions. AS
his case will rest so largely upon the letter
we may expect II to represent his best
endeavor and the approval of his party's
best and most experienced counsellors.
Moreover. it will outline for the demo-
cratic stumpers, as Mr.. RoOsevelts does
for the republican stumpers, the real APP
peal to the people.
If a man on the eve of a duel were to
offer his antagonist choice of weapons, to

to take both sun and wind in his face, he
would be rated as very confident of the
result. Mr.. Roosevelt in effect has done

An Adieu to Summer.

Farewell to that rover
The bee in the clover:
Farewell to the robin whose impudent song
Rose high mid the swaying
Where zephyrs were playing
And sunbeamS were straying
The summer day long.
The cricket's shrill Ginning
In garrulous rhyming
Sounds fainter and dies as the months glide
away.
And of beauty grown luscious
AS time onward rushes
Fades, faded the bushes
OF new budding May.
The fair morning glory
No more breathes her story
And dies in the radiant sweetness of youth.
We sigh all regretful
And gently forgetful
OF moments sore fretful-
Well miss you in sooth.

Yes! Yes!
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

People are gradually getting to their
homes after their summer outings. AS q
rule they are glad of it; and. though they
may on the average be shining examples OF
veracity, strict reliance is not to be placed
on their reports as to whether they have
had a good time not. They nearly al
ways say they have had. They feel the
need of justifying their absence, and are
patriotic in the idea that they have had
the worth of the money they have spent.
They may have slept on husk mattresses In
the mountains, and lived on side meat and
onions. They secretly rejoice to get back
to an establishment, modest though 1t may
be, that has modern improvements" and

coffee that is not made of dandelion roots
They will not acknowledge it, though
They grow eloquent over the charms of the
country, or the enchantment of the sea-
shore, though they may have been living
for two months in a room so small that
they were obliged to leave their trunks IN
the hall.
