An Antltoxin for Laxlnsss.

According to the berlin rp
ports, ~ ientist OF that city
has discovered what has been
i-crtionsly termed an anti
toxin fDrlazlnpss. The Doctor
thinks his discovery will be
of Importance IN the treat
ment OF npurast henia or ner-
yOns exhaustion and t h e
ronvalesrpnee from acut e
diseases. His experiments ire
described as follows:
4 guimn pig was drawn
backward on q rough carpet
hy means of a string, until
it no longer resisted lntprfpr-
enre with it's motion and was
totally exhaust, d. Stimula
ton was continued by means
OF electricity, until the ami.
NAL WAS in a state OF autOin
toXicarion. that is to say, u
condition of infection from
the toxin or poison genera
ted by itself. During The ex.
pertinent, the temperature OF
the guinea pig fell very
greatly. When exhaustion
could he rHrripA no further,
the animal was killed. In
Immediately after death The
toxin Tor pnison) was obtain
ph from the cruShad muscles
Of the ANIMAL. When dried in
n space exhausted of air, the
toxin was found to consist OF
vpllowish- brown scales that
were not very stable and had
to be kept in sealed glass
tubes, preferably in liquid
air. The toxin or poison, in.
jerted into the other guinea
pigs, produced symptoms oI
exhaustion followed hy death
within "a hours. The same
poison could not be obtained
from the muscles of the non
exhausted animals.
Antitoxin corresponding tt
he toxin thus procured is
produced very murh ! i k
that OF dypthpria by inject
ing the toxin into the .rirculu
tion Of holses. When dried in
a vacuum the resulting scales
unlike those of the toxin
ale permanent. In fact t b t
substance retains its activi
| ty even after mouths. 1t il
readily taken up by hrston
arh, hut is generally injected
under the skin by tbs use OF
hypOderuic syringe.
Small animals into which
the toxin was injected, re
mainad in a perfectly norma
condition when treated witt
the antitOxin, but 'cumb
to the poison when the ant
toxin was not administered
The introduction Of the ant
toxin did not produce any
disturbance whatsoever; or
the contrary. it was followed
by increased vigor AMI enpl

torture 10 i've STOCK I'D trans
port is ready to be reported
from the committee to h q
HOnse. This measure 1t will.
be remembered provides an
pxtentiOn of from % to 30
hours in the time that cattle
being shipped to market NAV
he transported IN n cattlecar
without food, water or rest.
The measure is being urged
by the cattle shippers and in
opposed by the Humane So
ripty which declares that the
time IN transit shOnld he cut
down instead of being extend
pd.l The 20 hour law has
been on the statute bOOksfOr
twenty years or so. But it ia
only within the past wo
years that it has hepn really
enforced. Sine then the ship
pprs have felt the pinch and
they are now trying to legal
ize the wrong they formerly
pprpptrateh in defiance OF
what they fondiy hoped was
n dead law. They have won
over Secretary Wilson to
their side and he is actually
HdvOratiny thu pxtpntiun OF
the shipping time. But the
Hnmdnp society declares ha t
I2S hours ia too long to
starva anything or any body
and that. the time either
ought to he shortened or thp
ears fitted with feeding and
Watering attachments, There
are two other ways of meet
ing the difficulty without fnr
thpr tOrtnrir,g ne cattle. One
~ by moving the slaughtp'
houses closer to the point ..Ol
origin of their living freight.
This would npressSlta te sOtnp

that it ronltl save money by

method would be to make

The board of directors of the pub lie schools of Pine Bluff Tuesday made perhaps the best bond sale that was ever made in Arkansas. The money vas obtained at a remarkably low rate of interest and a big premium was paid for the bonds sold.

 The bonds bear per cent interest and are payable in twenty years.
 MT. Joseph Nichol. cashier for the Simomns National bank of Pine Bluff, purchased the bonds for his bank, raying therefor $1o2 S7-1oo.

NARROW ESCAPE.

A horse ran away with buggy CT Main street Wednesday morning, and a number of ladies and children who were crossing Fourth avenue lad narrow escape from injury. The horse ran from some point on Main street north of Fourth avenue, and collided with a buggy in front of the Valley saloon. The ladies and children referred to were near the corner which the horse attempted to turn, but the animal slipped and fell just before reaching them, which accident was all that prevented some of them sustain ing serious injuries.

CAME ACROSS
IRON MOUNTAIN RAILWAY COM PANY DECIDES TO ACCEPT $1
 PER CAR FOR STONE.
City Was Preparing to Institute Suit to Declare Forfeiture of Right
 ofWay on Fourth.

A few days since Mayor White re. ceived notice from General Superin tendent Baker of the Iron Mountain railway that the rate of $l per ear on all stone. gravel and other material used on the streets, which had hereto f(re been made the city by the rail road, was revoked, and that in the fu l ture the city would be required to pay 1 the same rate as other people.
 This rate was made the city by the railroad as a result of the road being gwen right-of-Way over Fourth ave nue, strict compliance with this , agreement upon the part of the road being one of the conditions of the right-of-way granted the road.
 There was car of stone in the yards of the railroad Monday, con- signed to the city, which was to be used to protect the storm sewer on Laurel street. and Mayor White went to the agent of he company in this city, accompanied by Chief Stewart, and rendered 5 as payment of the freight, but the money was refused by the agent. who, under his instruc- tions from headquarters, demanded the regular rate before the car would be delivered to the city.
 Mayor White and City Attorney Coleman proceeded to prepare a suit to be instituted in the circuit court for possession of the car of material and another suit revoking the right ofway of the railroad on Fourth ave- rne. on account of the failure of the read 10 comply with one of the condi- ;ions of the agreement under which the privilege was granted them.
 Mayor White received notice from the local office of the company Wed. nesday morning that the car of stone was subject to his orders, upon pay ment of $1 The freight was paid, and the stone delivered to it's desti- nation Wednesday afternoon.
 The same attempt to evade this condition of the right-of-way was made by the railroad company two years ago, but the city brought the read to terms, and it is not probable tlat this second attempt would have been made but for the change of uperintendents, Mr. Baker probably not being aware of MT. Tylers failure ill attempting to repudiate the con- tract that had been entered into by the railroad.

'No thorough search has been made 0. the district south of Market street or the Chinese quarter. Many lives must have been lost in those sections. South of Market street are the cheap lodging houses and many of these collapsed from the earthquake. There is little chance that half of the in- plates of the collapsed buildings had opportunity to escape. This is also true of Chinatown.
 Many Buried by Soldiers.
 Shortly after the earthquake the soldiers and police buried along the water front many persons. have re- caived no official report of these. The total number of dead will undoubtedly reach. if it does not exceed, 1.000."
