Elk me up something to knock the

prominent physicians Office the other

The doctor stepped to his medicine
case, took down couple of bottles, mixeo
preparation which he handed to the
patient with the customary advice to
shake well and follow directions and
resumed his seat.
"Such cases are frequent, replied the
doctor in answer to question. "The
warm days and damp, chilly nights are
certain malaria breeders and are most
serious in those who have neglected to
keep their stomach, liver and bowels in
good condition. Such persons are full
of the impurities on which the malarial
germ thriyes, and it is from this class
that typhoid fever, pneumonia, Bright's
Disease, small pox and yellow fever claim
most of their victims whenever these dis
eases are prevalent.

Information ABOUT
STATE PRIMARY
Officials from Constable up will
be Nominated by Primary
Election.

The primary which will settle
the nomination of United States
Senator. State, parish and mu.
nicipal Offices viii take place not
earlier than about January 2l,
1908. The date will be some
where between then and say
February 10. The law provides
that the primary shall be called
for not less than seventy nor
more than ninety days prior TO
the date of the general State
election. Under the constitution
the general election falls on the
first Tuesday next following the
third Monday IN April. As April
/. 1908, falls on Tuesday the
date of the election will be April
%. Under the law the State
Central Committee, which is to
issue the call for the primary and
fix the exact date within these
limitations, will meet on October
|, the first Tuesday in that month.
and there Is every reason to- -ex-
pect that it will fix the primary
for the longest date allowed be-
fore the general election. Ifnone
of the three or four gubernatorIal
candidates obtain clear majority
In the first primary the second
will be held four weeks later or
in the second half of February.
Before October 81 the much-talk-
ed-of "dark horse" will have TO
come to the front TO be identified,
for the law provides that every
candidate must qualify within
twenty days after the meeting of
the State committee.
The primary will not only be
for United States Senator and
State officers but on the same
date must also be nominated all
district, parish and municipal
officers who are to be voted for
In the general election, which in
cludes, of course. all members of
both houses of the legislature, and
In New Orleans, for the first time,
the seven tax collectors and the
seven assessors who have hereto
fore been appointed by the gov
ernor and constituted the patron
age club with which he was able
to dominate the political situation
In the city. The fact that all
local officers are to be voted for
will, of course, have the effect of
bringing out the largest possible
vote throughout the State; but 1t
will also open the door to promis-
cuous TRADING" from which all
the higher candidates will doubt
less suffer. In the last State pri-
mary some of the parishes made
their nominations on the same
day the gubernatorial candidates
were voted for; but others did not. |
In the next primary they will
have no choice.
In the last primary the fight for
commissioners at the polls was
between General Jastremski and |
Judge Blanchard. In the coming |
primary the gubernatorial candi-
dates will have no voice In the /
selection of commissioners, whose
names will be drawn from slips Of
paper deposited in hat or other
receptacle by the local candidates.
10 other words, there will be no
Sanders, Jastremski, Broussard
Or Wilkinson commissioners.
Each will have to depend for pro-
lection upon friends among the
ocal candidates.
The election of assessors In the
country parishes will also be an
innovation in this election. The
judicial officers and members of
school boards will be elected with Ii
he congressman in the faIl.-ll
Arcadia Argus.

Elections for members of the
Finnish diet were held March Is, says
the "Politiken" Copenhagen. These
are the first elections since the re-
vision of the constitution and the abb
clifton of the ancient four-house legis-
!sture that perpetuated the privileges
Of the nobility, the burgesses and the
clergy at the expense of the peasantry.
The bestowal of a universal ballot,
proportional representation and women
suffrage have combined to awaken
wide popular interest In the present
political situation which has aroused
the people as completely as did the
universal strike movement of two
years ago, which resulted in the birth
of Finnish liberties. There are eighty
women candidates In the field, and IL
is probable that not less than a dozen
will be elected. The most acute ques-
ton before the electorate Is that of
the total prohibition Of the sale Of
liquor, which is advocated by a strong
section Of public opinion.
Russian fugitives are fiocking into
Copenhagen day by day, and there are
now over 1000 Russians there. Most
of them are Russian Jews and they
are colonizing In the Norrebro section
of the city. Most Of them are very
industrious people, although they are
slow In acquiring the use Of the Dan
ish language.
The Danish training ship Viking
was blown v e during a storm in a

The derailment Of the train was

In time, as Morrison did no reach the
switch before the Overland had
plunged through and been derailed.
The train was nearly twelve hours
behind time. At the time Of the dis
aster 1t was running at a high rate of
speed in an attempt to make up time.
There was absolutely no warning OF
the impending catastrophe. The en-
gineer saw the signal of the open
switch when but a few rods distant

a whistle Of warning, much less to
reverse the throttle or set the brakes.
He called to his fireman to jump and
they both leaped wildly from opposite
sides of the engine.
