No Remedy for Pneumonia.

Chicago, III; Drug treatment is
useless in cases of pneumonia. The
medical profession so far as medi.
cines are concerned, can be of no as.
sistance in the fight against this dis
ease. The sooner the profession will
acknowledge this to the public and set
to work to discover some specific to
save pneumonia patients, the better
for all concerned"
This startling statement by DR.. Ar.
thur d. Bevan, who stands high in the
profession, has stirred up the mem
Eers of the Chicago Medical Society
at their meeting. Several physicians
sprang to their feet to protest against
this arraignment. All had to admit,
however, that there is no definite rem.
edy known, and they based their pro-
tests solely on the contention Snat
they might influence the patient ia.
Vcrably by easing him somewhat and
by the moral effect of their presence.

COLOMBIA INVASION BEGUN.
Mr.. Eleta of Panama Says 1000 Sol.
diers Are on the Frontier.

| New Orleans, La: G. E. Eleta, a
prominent merchant of Panama, reach
ed here Friday direct from that coun.
| try via Bocas del Toro, with the news
that 1000 enraged Colombian soldiers
are on the Panama frontier awaiting
word from the leaders to march on to
Panama and Colon. He says the Off
Gals of the new republic Of Panama
are making no preparations to pre-
vent the invasion, because they are
absolutely depending on the effective
ness of the 1000 American marines
stationed on the line of the Panama
| railroad TO oppose the Colombians. .
There were 1000 men from the
United States warships stationed
around Panama and Colon in defense
of the Panama railroad, and also to
protect the republic of Panama against
an INVASION declared Mr. Eleta. who
left Panama last Thursday. AT the
Empire camp, one of the healthiest
places Oh the line, there are 900 ma
rinss, and an additional 600 at Bias
Obispo, while between Darien and the
costa Rican frontier on the Pacific
side 500 are scattered These COM
b1ned forces are sufficient to repel any
attack the Colombians may attempt,
and if the army of 1000 swoops down
on Panama they will find the Ameri-
cans strongly fortified and able to
drive the invaders back over the from
tier and into tbs mountains. where
they will probably fall into the hands
OF the San Bias Indians and be ami
hilated. In Panama the government
was not alarmed The merchants
were taking the situation without fear
and were going about their business
in the usual way. Every person took
the view that it was not necessary for
the Panama soldiers to keep a lookout
for the enemy, as the Panamans be-
lieve the United States marines are
on the isthmus to do the fighting, and

FIGHT FOR BOIL WEEvIL FARMS

Washington, Jan. 2s.-While it has
been impossible so far to get the Tex.
as delegation together to caucus on
the question of boil weevil farms, in
dividual members are taking the live
hest interest in the matter. Mr.. Gar
ner called on Secretary Wilson yester
day and made an earnest argument
for one OF the farms, and the secreta-
ry promised him that farm he
should have if it were possible. DR..
Howard was called in and informed
the secretary that the farms have not
been definitely located. except that
the farms heretofore established
would be continued. Other members
of the delegation are likewise stirred
about the matter as the result of Gar
ner's roar, and 1t is very likely that
the agricultural department will hear
much from the Texas members within
the next week
To add to the complication OF the
situation, State Chairman Lyon of the
republican state executive committee,
who arrived here yesterday, says that
he intends to look into the farm ques-
ton while he is here, and If he finds
that the Texas congressman are run
ming the boil weevil affair as a politi.
cal enterprise he intends to put in the
claims of the republican party of Tex
as.
1T is absurd said Mr.. Lyon last
night, ito confine the boil weevil e;i-
perrin ents to Southern Texas counties
exclusively, and l shall urge the i'm
portance OF having at Least one ex-
perimental farm in each North Texas
district, and my opinion at this time
is that every district in the state
should have one of these farms. l do
not know OF a single district that is
not to certain extent ravaged or
threatened by the weevil, and 1t is just
as important to teach the people who
have suffered slightly as to teach
those who have been suffering for
years and who have heretofore had
the benefit of all the experiments of
the agricultural department.
So far nothing can be learned at the
these farms. There are sixteen con-
gressional districts, and it is proposed
to establish only thirteen experiment.

the majority of these thirteen Of
course the larger districts of the state,
together with the great cotton region
of North Texas, will get limited direct

give out yet any information as to the
exact location of the farms, it is diff

IRON MARKET SAID
 TO BE IMPROVING
ROGERS, BROWN 6 co. REPORT GOOD SOUTHERN BRANDS IN DEMAND AT $s.5o ON A NO. 2 BASIS.

The Birmingham iron market continues very quiet, although Rogers, Brown & companys Cincinnati circular of yester- days date sayp there is a good demand for southern stocks. That firm reports as follows:
 There is a noticeable improvement this week over last week in this market. We note a good demand for Southern iron. All goods brands that are offered on the basis of $s.5o Birmingham, for No. foundry find reaoy for delivery dur ing the last quarter. The strike situa- tion in the -5uth has put so many south ern furna> ss out of blast, and matters there are in such an indefinite shape, the furnace companies are not anxious to book business under present conditions. The Toledo furnace at Toledo, Ohio, and Belfont furnace at Ironton, Ohio, have both been blown out during the past week. This restricts the production in this central territor. about 450 tons per day, and the buying movement for north ern iron that has been going on now for the last sixty days, is a good argu- ment for the furnaces not being as anxious to sell as they were few weeks ago. The majority of the northern fur naces are now holding firm at $12 cash furnace for No. foundry, for delivery during the balance of this year and the first quarter of next.

 Overcoats and Fur Caps.
 When the two boys left New Hamp- shire on their last trip. about two weeks ago, the snow in the White Mountain country was three inches deep. As pre- caution on coming into a new country the boys brought along heavy oyercoats, fleece-lined underwear and fur caps to protect them from the cold. Yesterday they were hunting ice water, and 1t was with great reluctance that they described their wardrobes. of this keeps up we'll never let none of the boys down here know what we brought along" said Ken nedy. "The joke is certainly on us. How would you like to see me going through a train with that fur cap on?"
