Secretary Shaw bitterly bewails the
fact that the voters of the country
have ceased to pin their faith to
party platforms and are now giving
their attention to the personnel of
candidates. If the secretary would
glance his eye over the different va
rieties of governors, congressman and
senators that are to be found in each
of the political parties, he would rea-
lie that the necessity of the case
has driven the voters to adopt the
course they have, as the only means
left to them of registering their will
in an election.

George W. Berge is being over
whelmed with letters from all parts of
the state urging him to publicly an

reading the nice things about himself
contained in these letters. But, we
predict that before he has finished
replying individually to the stack of
letters that he found awaiting him
on his return home this week, that
he will conclude to issue public
statement as a measure of self-de-
tense.

Germs of Disease.

1t is common belief that the germs
of disease flourish only in the human
organism, and that, if we could once
eradicate an infectious malady, it
would stay eradicated. 1t now seems
very probable that this is untrue. Ac-
cording to view held wholly or par
TALLY by many pathologists, and
strongly upheld by recent French
writer, Prof. Bodin, disease germs are
only accidentally virulent, their nor
NAL existence being what is called
"saprophytic;" that is, independent of
any other organism. When one of
these harmless varieties changes its
nature so as to become parasitic, we
have anew disease. Observation has
shown that many kinds of bacteria are
very unstable, and are constantly
forming new varieties. 1t is possible,
therefore. that potential germs of ty-
phoid, lockjaw, or consumption may be
growing harmlessly about us, to as
sumo. suddenly, virulent parasitic
life at some future time.-London

the contract for the installation of an

Next Saturday night the school
board will give the fourth number of
the series of entertainments in the
assembly hall, and something new and
exceptionally good is promised. Prof
Bowdin, who gives the reproduction
of the poem, "Hiawatha," is very
talented gentleman and assisted by his
wife gives an entertainment worthy of
much praise. The story is that some
Of the Ojibiway Indians on the shores
of the Great Lakes planned to give a
life production of Longfellow's cele-
brated masterpiece and use Lake HUI
ron as they play house and large
island in the center of the lake as the
stage. The characters were all rep
resented and the play was carried out
in an extremely lifelike manner by the
Indians and on account O fthe huge
success of the first venture it was de-
cided to follow up the play and give
the performance every year. Among
the guests invited to this function was
Alice Longfellow, daughter of the
composer of the poem, and she pro-
nounced the play most lifelike and
we'll rendered. Prof. Bowdin was also
present for many years, in succession
and has secured the play as carried
on by the Indians in a series of NOV
ing pictures. These with the recita-
ton of the poem will constitute the
entertainment next Saturday night in
the assembly hall. A large attend
ance is expected by the board and
the new hall is capable of seating 9OO
so that all can be accommodated.
