Roosevelt, Bryan, Hearst.

Some days ago the New York
Sun dropped into prophecy, and
represented to President Roosevelt,
Senator Platt, former Gov. Odell,
present Gov. Higgins, Lcmuel
Eli Quigg, and all the rest of them,
as follows;
"Thc next governor Of the State
of New York will be a Democrat.
"The next governor of the State
of New York will be the next tPreSi-
dent of the Wnited States"
Thatcan mean William Il. Hearst
and nobody else. More reckless
predictions have been made and
justified by the event. Stranger
things have happened. Mr..
Hearst is Just little in advance of
Theodore Roosevelt and William
Jennings Bryan on the road this
country is travelling at rapid speed.
That Mr.. Hearst will be caught up
with sooner or later there is no sort
of doubt. 1t is saying rs true as
II is ancient-"A AS well eat the devil
as drink his broth" Mr.. Roose-
welt has given us Hearstism diluted;
Mr.. Bryan has preached Hearstism
slightly less diluted. Would it be
strange if the country should de-
mand the real stuff and not put up
with anything elsel
Mr.. Bryan says the Hearst doc
trine he has been giving us in the
broth is the true political gospel.
Mr.. Roosevelt admits that it is very
unwholesome political food, dele
terious broth, and not at all palata-
BILE, but that if he had not dosed
Congress with it the country would
demand and would get the Hearst
political roast beef that will not do
at all.
Roosevelt, Bryan and Hearst!
Who is in it besides! One of them
will be inaugurated President of
the United States in 1909 if the
expected happens. The first named
says he is out of the calculation:
the other two protest they are not
candidates, but if the country shall
be in the humor it is now, one of
the three will head the successful
ticket of 1905.
1t may come to this: The Repub-
licans must nominate Roosevelt TO
stand any show at all; the Demo-
Gratis will have to nominate Bryan
to prevent the nomination of
Hearst.
And then, if Mr.. Hearst should
be nominated by the Democrats
and elected governor of New York
in 1906, Mr.. Bryan will have no
easy job TO beat him for the nomi-
nation in 1908. The Democrats
themselves love success. Wash

Killed by Falling Horse.

Leo Willingham. son of Mr..
Daniel w. WilliDgham, who lives
in what is known as ''Possum Hol-
low" south east of town, was so
badly injured Sunday evening
about 6 O'Clock by horse falling
upon him that he died four hours
later.
Young Willingham had started
back to the field with the COWS,
after they had been MIXED, and it
Is impossible TO say exactly how
the accidentoccurred
Larkin Fox, who lives near the
road where the accident occurred,
saw the horse fall. and went atonce
TO Willingham' s assistance, finding
the horse lying across him and
making no effort to regain its feet.
He at once summoned help, and
the horse was lifted, being absolute
ly uninjured.
The only reasonable solution of
the accident is that the horse may
have been stunned, or at least af-
rectcd, by the lighting, as the road
at the point of the accident is al
most as smoth as a floor. and there
were no signs of the horse having
stumbled in any way.
The funeral was held yesteday
morning at IL o'clock, the services
being conducted by Rev. j. Harry
Smith, and interment was made in
Green Hill Cemtcry.
Young Willingham was a nephew
of Mrs. B. +. Alexander, whose
son-in-law, Frank Jones, died so
suddenly last week, as told in the
COURIER this week.

RinSWOrm bald SCab.)

This contagious affection of the
skin is very common throughout
Virginia. Cattle are most readily
affected, especially young ones and
sucking calves: after them come
dogs. Horses. goats and cats suf-
for more rarely; pigs and sheep
more rarely than any.
The disease is readily transmits
sible TO man through contact. and
occurs most frequently in stable
attendants through milking, clean
ing and dressing with ointment.
Infected dogs and cats readily
transmit the disease to person who
fondle them.
CAUSES.
The disease is due to the growth
of vegetable germ on the skin of
an animal in u receptive condition.
The parasite thereafter develops
in the hairs, their roots and the
epidermis. It's development and
spread is especially favored by
orcrcrowding in dark, unsanitary
stables; while in pastures its spread
is aided by contact from rubbing,
though at this season it may subside
or disappear. The common use OF
blankets and grooming utensils is
specially favorable TO its onward
progress; and above all, neglect 70
separate the healthy from the
diseased animals and men, and the
places they have occupied.
SYMPTOMS.
In general the outstanding char
acteristics are as follows: In cattle
clearly defined, small round places
are noticed about the head. neck
and shoulders; these enlarge out
wards, forming larger circles Upon
these denuded spots ashy grey
scales form, the skin now loses its
feXibility and may crack open
forming open sores. The eruption
usually lasts six 60 twelve weeks.
but through fresh infection may
continue that many months. Seve-
raj animals are usually affected in
the same herd, and not infrcquent-
~ one or more attendants. In
the dog, the usual scat of attack
is about the head.
Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1906-07-25
PREVENTION.

Separate healthy from diseased
animals and infected quarters, fol-
lowed by thorough cleaning and
disinfecting all infected premises,
utensils, clothing etc.
Clarke courier. [volume] (Berryville, Va.) 1869-1997, 1906-07-25
TREATMENT.

The purely local nature Of the
disease demands only local treat
ment. The animal should be
secured and all scurf and scales re-
moved from the circular patches
with warm water, soap and scrub
bing brush, in order that the para
secticide may reach the parasite.
From the list of such agents the
writer has found success in the or
der named: Tr. Iodine, Creoline
and Olive Oil, Il; Carbolic Acid.
Gum Camphor and Tr. Iodine in
equal parts; Sulphur and Carbolic
ointment, (Carbolic Acid, Sulphur
10, Lard 4O).
Any of the above are excellent;
the degree of thoroughneSs of APP
plication marks the duration of the
disease.

Washington, May l6-The calm Of
the Senate's discussion Of the Railroad
Rates bill was disturbed today by a
personal interruption by Senator Bailey
who rose to a question Of personal privi-
lege to make reply to a charge made in a
Chicago paper yesterday by Washington
correspondent to the effect that Mr.
Bailey hsd been responsible for the failure
of the agreement between the President
and Senator Tillman.
Former Senator Chandler was given as
authority for the statement that Mr.. Till
man had been suspicious of Bailey, who,
il was also stated, was really opposed to
rate legislation and was also in constant
conference with Senator Aldrich with the
purpose Of defeating the Railroad Rates
bill
After this statement had been read,
Mr. Bailey took the floor and said dehber-
ately:
81 have taken no part in the question
of veracity between the President and
Mr. Chandler and / have not even given
any public expression on the question
of good faith, because ! knew nothing
about either question. / had never con-
ferred with the President directly nor
with Mr.. Chandler Il was, therefore,
matter Of great surprise to me when a
Senator called my attention TO the ex-
tract which have had read That cor
respondence, il was understood, was sent
by a correspondent who is very close to
the White House and is presumed TO
speak with some degree Of authority CON
cerning transactions there. do not
know as to the truth Of that, and / do
not charge that his statement was made
with authority But / denounce the
publication as an unqualified, deliberate
and malicious lie. / denounce that cor
respondenet as an unqualified, deliberate
and malicious liar. ! denounce the man

Odd Experiments Made at Yale Psycho-
logical Laboratory.
Curiously interesting results have been
obtained by experiments on hallucina-
tions Of the senses at the Yale Psychic
logical Laboratory A person placed in
"a quiet room was asked 90 note the in
tensitv of "a tone which would he sounded
every time a telegraph receiver clicked
Az first the tone was actually produced,
but aitorward unknown 20 the person
experimental on, the tone was omitted,
while the clicking WAS regularly con-
tinued. Still the subject of the exper-
ment believed that he heard the tone. as
before, with every click of the instru-
ment.
Another experiment consisted in drop
ping light pith ball on the hand OF
person so placed that he could not see
what he was doing. Each fall Of the
ball was timed 10 correspond with the
sound regularly emitted by a metro
nome. Alter a while the ball was no
longer dropped, but the subject of the
experiment continued TO feel. or inn
aqine that he felt the touch OF the ball
nj every sound Of the netronome.
In a third experiment a blue bead was
placed in the centre of white ring. and
n person was requested TO approach the
ring and note, by means of a tape meas
ure at his side, the distance at which the
bead first became visible 20 him. Later
the bead was secretly removed but still
on arriving at the previously determined
distance, the person believed that he saw
the bead
