From England comes the announce
ment of new anesthctic, which IL
medicine genius of that country has
discovered. 1t is called "stovaine" and
it differs from ether and chlorofurm in
the respect that while the patient I'M
der its influence suffers no pain, he
does not, nevertheless, lose conscious
ness, but can, if his nerves are strong
enough, watch and understand the OBJ
GRAFTON being performed upon him.
Stovainc. it is explained is injected
into the lumbar region of the spinal
column and acts on the roots
of the nerves entering the spinal
cord. The effect Of the drug is of
short duration and the surgeon is like
ly to have to hasten his operation 10
the safety limit in order to outstrip the
recovering nerves. There are probably
some people with curiosity and courage
enough to be willing to witness the
process of operations upon themselves.
but most of US will prefer the blessed
boon of painless sleep which ether and
chlorOfOrm bring.

Tho bank burglary business appears
to have pretty well pctered out. Only
$I,127 was secured from these institu-
tom, by burglars during the year 1906.
This was certainly very mcagrc re-
turn: for the time and effort employed.
More money could doubtless have been
made by a judicious working of the
slot machines. 1t must be understood,
of course, that the above statistics ap-
ply only to those thieves who operated

his sterling qualities as a man, and as

Hon. Pascal p. Gilmore, who was
nominated for State treasurer is also
a man well and favorably known to the
people of our State. He has had a
valuable experience in legislative work
serving with distinction in both
branches of the Legislature, and later
as State liquor agent. Mr.. Gilmore is
everywhere recognized as a man of

opportunities to become acquainted
with its citizens and its resources. Mr..
Thompson has been commonly re-

ton as the representative of the agri-
cultural interests; but, as State asses
scr, he may be depended upon to deal
fairly with all interests.
