RAILROAD EXCURSION
 AND PICNIC.
The Cumberland Presby- terians Charter a Car..-
 Have a Royal Time.

Aboard one of the largest and finest vestibule coaches of the Rock Island Railroad. chartered for the occasion, the Brinkley Cumberland Presbyterian Sunday-school left early Wednesday morning for their annual outing, ex- cursion and picnic.
 The car was well loaded, there be- ing about 100 aboard.
 Leaving Brinkley at 9 o'clock stops were made at Cotton Plant and Howell and the good people along the line were aroused by the noisy fun makers.
 On arrival at Wivflle. the good peo- pie, with their usual thoughtfulness and kindness, showed every courtesy possible. The pretty. shady oak grove surrounding their cozy and nice church was the picnic ground, and a most delightful one it was.
 The dinner was the subject of com ment of everyone, for it was unques- tionably the most sumpteous they have ever served.
 The sports of the day consisted of nearly every game imaginable and in the list many new ones were intro duced Among the most enjoyable was the sack races and potato races. engaged in by both boys and girls. In several Of the races the entries num- bered as many as 35 boys and girls. A match game of baseball between Brinkley and Wiville teams was also a most interesting feature Choral and orchestral music was most en- |joyable part of the days pleasure. In fact there wasn'tza single dull moment from the boarding of the car until the return.
 Edgar T. Mccreight was the "con. ductor' and .ock tickets as graceful, as an oli timer. A. D. Brooks was director of amusements ard .chiel |cook;;" J. A. Clover was judge ad vocate." Walter M. St. Clair was auditor and general caretaker, while w. M. Hawkins looked after the young ladies, doing hIs part most gracefully.
 While the outings and excursions oi the Cumberland Presbyterians, have been for the past Is years. delightful social features of their progressive Sunday school work, yet all their past efforts was greatly surpassed by the "Wednesday excursion and outing, which goes on the record as the hap piest and best of all

TOWN HAS THREE NAMES.
Altoona, Candor and Vergas Will, ir
Time, Be Known by Last Name.

FRAZEE, Mimi, July PA town
with three names is the unfortunate
condition of the thriving village of
Altoona, five miles south of Frazee, on
the new 500 line. The town is in
corporated as Altoona, the postoffice
is named Candor and the 500 line calls
it's station Vergas.
Lieutenant Governor Ray Jones, of
Minneapolis, has this experience when
he goes to his summer residence near
Altoona at Loon lake. He buys a ticket
for Vergas, his mail is sent to Candor
and he lives near the town of Altoona
So confusing has this become that ac-
ton has been taken to get rid of two
of the names. The Merchants bank
has taken the initiative by calling til
self the Merchants Bank of Vergas,
and the township will change from
Candor to Vergas and the town from
Altoona to Vergas. Thus the 500 line
will gain a victory by bringing all the
different names to one chosen by it
self.

Children Can Be Rendered Immune
From tuberculosis
IS THE CLAIM OF FRERCH PHYSICIANS
ASSERT THEY HAVE
FOUND PREVENTIVE FOR
THE WHITE PLAGUE.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 81

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 81
A vaccine, which it is thought will
render humanity immune from the
white terror, has been discovered by
physicians identified with the French
Academy of Sciences. BY treating in
fants with a very small quantity OF
tuberculosis baccilli of human and bo-
vine origin a few days after birth, it
is declared they will be guarded
against natural infection through life
United States Consul w. P. Atwell
of BobOix has sent to this government
report of the discoveries by Drs.
Calmette and Guerin, Of the Pasteur
institute at Lille.
MANY experiments have demon
strated that tuberculosis bacilli de-
stroyed by heat or other agents pass
through the walls of the intestines as
readily as living bacilli and are found
in the mesenteric ganglions and
lungs" says DIR. Calmette. 1--WE ex-

to be insiduously scattered among re-
publicans over the state. The pur-
pose of this was to show that the sup
port of King county to Piles was half
hearted, and that Wilson could at any
time control the "a votes in the dele
cation.
The same methods which, in the
opinion of some of Piles managers,
were patterned after the tactics Of
Piles appeared at Olympia. Within "A
hours of Piles entry into the legisla-
tive arena, Wilson agents had told
every member of the chains that bound
Piles and his supporters Of the dele
CATION. The Wilson workers went
from Wilson headquarters every night
to tell the doubling, hesitating, unat-
tached members that tomorrow Will
son would pull the string and the en-
tire King county delegation would quit
Piles.
1t is now recalled that only the 10y
atty Of about II Piles men on the dele
cation prevented these underground
methods from ditching the King coun-
ty candidate The loyal II met and
publicly declared that never would
they consider the candidacy Of any
man save Piles 1t was official notice
to Wilson and the legislature that the
agreement, if there ever was an effect
i've or honest one, would not be con-
sidered as binding on it's members
Piles was free and Wilson was "out-
ragged. Inundated and chagrined."
These are The reasons, as given by
men in close touch with the plans for
the Piles campaign, why Wilson and
his paper will be given a wide berth
by Piles and his managers hereafter.
In a word neither Wilson nor the
Post-Intelligencer is regarded by
Piles managers as having any au-
thority whatever to represent him or
the republican interests of King
county.
