DANGERS OF CARBoLIC ACID.

Now they tell us that the applicat-
ion of carbolic acid as an antiseptic
upon an open wound is apt to result
In gangrene. What had been believed
a safe preventive against lockjaw and
things is said by the Medican News
to be full of danger.
DR.. Justin Herold, writing in that
magazine, says; "The public, and
unhappily many pharmacists and prac-
titioners of medicine, do not appre-
ciate thoroughly the grave dangers
residing in the daily and popular use
of carbolic acid solutions as routine
application to open wounds and in
juries of other character Injuries to
the fingers and toes, trifling in extent,
to which carbolic acid in various
strengths of solution is applied too
freely, in some cases have resulted in
gangrene of the parts to which the
acid is applied. In cases of car
bolic acid gangrene, the history as q
rule, is as follows: The patient us
ually comes for treatment with the
history of having treated a cut, bruisC
or a felon with a solution of carboli(
acid or with an ointment containing
small quantities of the drug.
Carbolic acid, either in the form o
a dilute solution or of an ointment, il
the agent that occurs to the mind o
most people as the proper remedy TO
use as an antiseptic. This and thu
want of knowledge as to its judiciou
use, is the reason for the frequent oC
currence of carbolic acid gangrene."
The Medical News, in an editoria
way, commenting upon the dangers o
the Fourth OF July, says: Some o
the additional dangers incurred las
year must not be forgotten. Certain
jealous parents inferred that the,
should apply rather strong antiseptic
TO blank cartridge wounds and the re
suit was in some cases severe slough
ing and in a few cases even perma
nent deformity. BY many person

MARS.

The blood red planet Mars, which
has appeared and reappeared each
night In the dome of southeastern
skies, has been an object OF unusual
beauty among lanterns ilickering in
the heavens during the past couple of
weeks and many Norfolk people, as
well as people all over the country,
have taken occasion to remark upon
the far away red ball. But far more
interest has been displayed In Mars
by astronomers and number of In
teresting new facts have been brought
to light.
Mars during the past week ap'
preached its point of greatest near
ness to the earth and on Saturday the
distance between the world and the
crimson neighbor planet was at Its
shortest.
Taking advantage of this proximity
astronomers gathered in famous OBJ
servatories to get new glimpses of the
blludllOu pltSChltu' az tllS i<ONSll Wv
servatory at Flagstaff, Arizona, the
favorable conditions for observation
have been taken advantage Of during
the past several days and 1t Is report
ed that photographs will soon be avail
able showing things hitherto con
cealed The formerly discovered "ca
nails" have been found again, but ad
ditional ones have also been discov
cred. Poles of the planet, capped witt
presumably ice or snow, have beer
found during the past few days. The
southern cap is now melting, the
northern cap increasing in area.
Mars is now in southern declina
ton, which means that 1t can be bes
seen south of the equator. A party
of American astronomers with cam
eras and telescopes are now in the
Andes in the hope of adding something
to the earthly knowledge of plane
made interesting to us by the belle
that it is inhabited with creatures
apparently much like ourselves.

lshlng in the salty earth.
Nebraska has been divided into fed.
eral court districts for the benefit of
the people of the state. The Norfolk
federal court district extends all over
the northern part of the state, with
the exception of little strip in the
northeast. For the benefit of litigants,
in order hat their railroad expenses
and hotel expenses may not be so
large and in order that they may be
closer home, was this district system
created.
If the people having anything to do
with federal court, and living in this
district, will but insist upon coming
to Norfolk for trial, they will reap the
benefits intended by the new law and
at the same time be following out the
law.
Lincoln may try to dig up some
loophole for inducing cases into that
city, but northern Nebraska people
will probably take advantage of the
saving which was meant for their
purses, when federal court was
brought closer to them and stationed
at Norfolk.

FEDERAL COURT DISTRICTS.

The clerk in charge of the records
of the Norfolk division of the federal
court has resigned his position be-
cause the fees are not large enough
to make it worth while to carry the
responsibility. The slowness of the
growth of federal business in that di-
vision, contrasted with the rapid de-
velopment here, shows that litigants
wish to file their cases when possible
where a federal Judge has his resi-
dence. This was the case before Lin
coin had a judge, and is likely to be
found in all of the outside divisions in
the future, no matter what regula-
tons may be made to encourage the
trial of the cases in the divisions

brought to the training quarters of the
Norfolk driving club at the race
grounds. These fast steppers will be
in training in Norfolk during the next
two weeks and will make their initial
bow to north Nebraska at the Norfolk
races. Now that the racing season is
at hand these fast steppers will be
joined by other horses trained to come

Washington Letter.

It's we'll nigh universal opinion
in Washington that the story
recently sent ont to the effect
that the moneyed men of the
country have raised fund Of
100000 for the purpose Of de-
feating President Roosevelt and
his policies was made out Of
whole cloth, and originated in
or near the White House for the
purpose of creating public senti-
ment in favor of President Roose-
welt and drawing the attention Of
the country from the scandal de-
ve1oped in his controversy with
Mr.. Hartman relative to the
great great campaign fund al
ledge to have been contributed
by certain corporations in the
election of 1904.
The truth is no conspiracy ex-
lists to defeat Mr.. Roosevelt or
his policies, and there is not
bit of evidence to prove that any
sum of money has been raised
for the purpose of pushing
campaign against him. Mr..
Roosevelt is simply at his old
tricks playing to the galleries,
and appealing to the prejudices of
of the unthinking masses in or
