How jackson Was Killed.
When jackson. one of the leaders
Of the mutiny, was ordered to lie down
to receive his punishment he at first
refused. Superntendf nj Pitcock. it is
said, ordered one of the guards to
knock Jackson down if he did not get
down of his own accord. Jackson then
bent over as if to lie down, and as he
did so some rags which he had about
his hand slipped Off, disclosing a razor
which he had obtained in some way.
1t is said that as Jackson was about
to attack the guards one of the latter
struck the negro over the head with
his revolver. The weapon was acci.
Gentally discharged, and the bullet
inflicted severe wound in Jackson's
head.
This wound resulted in Jacksons
death later, but just when the negro
died is not known, as inquiry at the
penitentiary last night failed to elicit
any information en- that point.
Clerk Bradford stated that the
'bucking" occurred, that the 60 par
ticipants had been punished and that
one convict was accidentally injured.
After repeated questions he stated
that he had heard that the convict
died later, but that he had no official
information in regard to the matter.
He said that the report of the mans
death would have gone to the assist
ant secretary and would not be in his
department. Mr.. Bradford said that
he had no record showing whether the
man died or not.
1t is stated that the mutiny ended
with the punishment of the offenders,
and that there has been no further
trouble.

Book Of Conceited Author Lacked
Popularity with the Read

Though Robert W. Chambers is a pop
ular author, he will rarely talk about
his books, says literary exchange.
Il hate literary conceit," he said the
other day. IF an architect builds a
good house, his friends, on account of it,
don't regard him as god, and he doesn' t
regard himself as a god. The same with
an engineer. If he builds good bridge
it IS in the days work, and that is all
there is about it. But if man writes
good book, why, then there must be
genius in him, and before this genius he
himself, as well AZ all the world, must
bow down. Rot.
Literary conceit is distasteful to me-, }"

vAccINATE AGAINST RAR,Fs
Pasteur's Latest Method for the pr..
vention Of Hydrophobia in Peo-
pie Bitten by Mad Dogs.

Pasteur's vaccination method for the
prevention Of hydrophobia in people
Dltten by mad dogs is employed at the
institute for infectious diseases at Ber-
lin. The "cultus" ministry has lust
published statement with reference
to the cases Of persons bitten by mad
dogs which have come to the know1-
edge OF the authorities during 1903. and
which permit a Judgment on the merits
OF such vaccination based upon authen-
tic facts
In the year 1903, 3o7 persons were Bit
ten by 1874 mad dogs, or dogs suspected
OF madness; in 140 of these dogs hydro
phoDla was afterward proved beyond a
doubt, while Ii were found to be
healthy; the rest could not be exam
lned. The 3O7 persons lived in eight
different provinces-226 Of them in east
ern Prussia, western East Prussia, and
Silesia, which are close to Russia.
Thus Rdssia is again shown to be the
breeding place of this plague. OF those
bitten, 281 proceeded to the institute
Tor infectious diseases and were vac
;inated. Four of them died of hydro
phobia and one recovered after slight
attack. Deaths took place on the thir-
ty-eighth, fifty-sixth, one hundred and
tenth, and one hundred and thirty-fifth
day, respectively, after the bite.
Vaccination has not proved an abso-
lutely certain remedy, even when ap-
piled right after the bite, says Scientific
American. The statistics show, how
ever, that of 2S1 persons vaccinated only
four died. that is, one and one-half per
cent; while of those not vaccinated but
treated medically six per cent died, and
of those neither vaccinated nor treated
IL per cent. died.
In view of these figures" the state
ment proceeds, sit is earnestly to be
recommended that all persons having
the misfortune to be bitten by dogs
either mad or suspected of madness at
once submit to vaccination. The value
of such vaccination is being more and
more recognized. During the last six
years the percentages of persons bitten
who submitted to vaccination were %,
30, 81, 70, 80 and 90, respectively, and
It is to be hoped that in the future every
bitten person will avail ones self OF it. .

According to the Talmud,

It would appear the rabbis of south
ern Russia have just revived an old law
of Talmud. According to this law,
when a married man leaves for a
war, he must grant to his wife con-
ditional divorce, to be put into force
if he does not return within reason
able time. All the married soldiers of
Lcdz have had to carry out this for
mula before leaving for Manchuria
Each one has left with the rabbi his
name, address, age, height, and any
special marks about him, and if after
a certain fixed time he does not put
in an appearance the wife will obtain
her dispensation from the rabbi, and
will have the option of marrying again
as soon as she pleases. = Smiths

NEWEST MIcRoBE is FOUND
"Tetracoccus of Acute Ascending
Paralysis" Is the Wonder Of
Scientists.

Another subtle fee of mankind has
been unmasked in the shape OF the
''tetracoccus of acute ascending paraly-
sis
1t was immensely admired by the
French doctors during their visit to the
Westminster hospital, London, recently,
where some of these organisms have
been cultivated from patient suffering
from this rare disease. 1t affects the
spinal cord and the patient rapidly
loses the use of every muscle in the
body and the mortality is extremely
high.
The patient at the Westminster hos
pital has been more fortunate. Within
Is days of being attacked by it he was
an inert piece of clay, with the exception
that he was able to move one toe. At
present he is progressing favorably.
At the height OF the disease a hypo-
dermic syringe was plunged into his
back and from the material thus OBJ
tanned the famous tetracoccus was iso-
lated It's existence has been known for
some months to the heads of the profess
sion, but the organism is sufficiently
new to render this confirmation well
come.
1t takes a multitude of extended ex-
periments to prove satisfactorily that
a certain microbe is the cause of a GER
tain disease. The tetracoccus seen un-
der the microscope appeared like d
series of dots arranged in fours. At the
Westminster hospital the Identifying
experiments have had to be stopped
halfway toward proof. Proof is OBJ
tanned when the culture reproduces the
disease consistently in living animals.
and the Westminster is not allowed to
practice vivisection.
