Typhoid Fever

Typhoid fever is known to lurk in
water and milk more than in any other
media which man takes into his stom-
ach. If these can be purged of the
germs of the terrible disease mankind
has received a great benefaction. The
average city of the size of Nashville
has not less than forty deaths per
month from typhoid fever, A disease
that will eat up 500 useful lives in a
year in a city of this size is deserving
all the thought medical science can
give It,.
1t is claimed by a writer in the De-
cember number Of the Century Gilbert
II. Grosvenor that copper, when placed
i'm the proper proportion in drinking
water, will destroy the typhoid bac-
teria. Credit for the discovery is given
to DR.. G.. T. Moore of the United States
sanitary service. Washington. Mr..
GrosVenor says:
1T was with considerable uncertainty
that Dr. Moore attempted, in answer
to the appeal to city In the middle
west whose water had become infected
with typhoid, TO sterilize its reservoir
with the copper sulphate But the
dose-1 part copper to 100000 parts wa
ter-proved as effective as In his tanks
and checked the threatened epidemic,
Though so extraordinarily fatal to the
germs, the amount OF copper used was
so little that when dissolved I'm the
reservoir it was colorless and could not

HORSE AND MEN RESCUE HER
3oo-Pound Woman Falls Into Well and
Is Saved With Difficulty

Special to The Herald.
NORRISTOWN. Pa, May 21.-With
the assistance of four men and horse,
Mrs. Selva Muncher, who weighs nearly
300 pounds, was saved from drowning
here.
Mrs. Muncher resides on the River
road. While she was pumping water
for the cattle the floor over the well
gave way and she dropped into eight
feet of water. A rope was suspended
over the side of the wall and she clung
to it to keep her above water.
The woman's cries attracted the at
tention of Frank Williams. Calling
three other men and securing a horse,
Williams dropped moose over the wo-
mans head and under her arms, and
then, with a long, strong pull she was
dragged to safety. Mrs. Muncher was
in the water nearly an hour andSwas
almost exhausted.

However, all Roman Catholics regard
it as a solemn feast of the church,

viii Start Mill


A new mill will be started within
about two weeks at Juniper camp
twenty miles from Searchlight. At the
Chiquita mine at this point there are
now 600 tons of ore on the dump await
ing the completion Of the mill. This
mine has a main shaft down 23O feet
and the main ore shoot has been proved
for 300 feet. TheJvein is two and one
half feet wide, with free milling ore
avera ging $35 ton. A thirty-foot shaft
has also been sunk on what is believed
to be another and distinct ore shoot
Here eight inches of ore has been found
assaying $3.50 a ton, and five feet that
shows 500.
The Juniper has a shaft down 100
feet. The vein that started at six inches
is now reported to be twenty feet wide,
with ore running $25 to $4O0.

kilograms from Salt Lake City state
that the first shipment of forty tons OF
ore from the Montgomery Shoshone
mine at Bullfrog netted $4,000 per ton

this time the managers of the property
have continued the tunnel prosecuting

One of the richest mining sections in
Yavapai county is found about twenty
miles southeast of Prescott in what Is
known as the Turkey creek district.
Recent reports from that section indi
cate a season of activity. Preparations
are being made on some of the larger
properties for more extensive and sys-

prospects are being opened which show
good indications of developing into pay

Among the leading properties of the
district is the French Lily group of
four claims on which about 500 feet Of
development has been done by shafts
and drifts. At present development is
being pushed on new tunnel that was
started recently. The tunnel is in about
thirty-five feet and the ledge which 1t

OUR GOVERNOR HONORED
Arkansas Chief Executive Accorded Significant Honors by the
 People of Galveston.

Galveston, Tex, April 22. ~ At today's session of the Old Settlers Convention addresses were made by many prominent men of the country, including Gov. Davis of Arkansas, Gov. A. B. Cummins of Iowa, Gov. Mickey of Nebraska, I. H. Hunter, banker and stock man of Springfield, H., Prof. l. II. Connel of Dallas.
 The feature of the afternoon ses- sion was the address of Governor Jeff Davis of Arkansas, which was considered sensational in part.
 In his address during the morn ing session Gov. Mickey of Ne braslza observed that his last trip to the South was during the Civil war, and he alluded to the fact that in his own state he had many friends who were veterans on both sides.
 Gov. Davis took this as his cue during his address in the afternoon. He said in substance that he con sidered 1t breach of good taste for the governor of Nebraska to come down here and discuss sec. tional issues long since dead; that he thought this subject should be approached in gum shoes, and that in every patriotic Southern heart there was a shrine dedicated to the Lost Cause.
 During this period of Gov. Dav IS address the silence was intense, and 1t was only relieved when he passed to other matters. At the conclusion of bis address Gov Davis was greeted with prolonged applause, and as he went down the aisle an impromptu reception was accorded him. He passed through the throng to the cruiser Galveston which vessel fired a salute of sey- enteen guns in his honor.

tion of alcohol into that country as commercial power product in place of petroleum. He has se- lected Colorado as the scene of his initial efforts because of the im- mense number of potatoes grown there, the second grades of which may be turned into alcohol at a profit. Plans are already under way for the erection of a man. moth distillery near Greeley and for the introduction of German methods into the use of alcohol for lighting, manufacturing and me- chanical purposes. In the latter country the fight against Standard Oil has made alcohol It's general commercial substitute and Mr. Brucker proposes simply to trans fer old-world methods to the west ern plains. Mr. Brucker and his associates say that alcohol csn be made to entirely supplant petrol cum for every purpose for which the latter is used, and that in Col orado 1t can be made and put on the market at Il price less than that charged for oil.
