WILL VACCINATE
FOR TYPHOID

LONDON, Sept. 30.--"Tn the future,
in my opinion, we shall vaccinate as
successfully against tuberculosis and
typhoid fever as we now vaccinate
against smallpox" said DR.. C. Bass of
New Orleans. This brilliant young in
vestigator made this statement after
a season of observation at st. Mary's
hospital, Paddington, where a whole
wing of that institution has been turn
ed over to Sir Almroth Edward
Wright, the famous pathologist and
bacteriologist for experiments in
therapeutic incubation.
DR.. Bass goes from London to OK
ford and Cambridge for period In the
laboratories of these institutions and
for consultation with his friend, Prof
Oslerj who keeps in close touch with
all forms of medical progress.
DIR. Wright's discoveries" continued
DR. Bass, "are slowly but surely fore
ins their way to the front. They have
been retarded somewhat because of
the fact that they did not emanate
from Germany, but now Germans are
taking up DR.. Wright's ideas"

STATES RIGHTS
CONVENTION
To Discuss New Questions
Growing from Railroad
Rate Regulations.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Sept 30.-Results
of an important and reaching
character are expected to follow the
conference begun in this city today by
the attorney generals Of more than a
score of states. The conference meets |
on the invitation of Attorney Genen
Hadley of Missouri, and the purpose, |
as announced in the call is to outline !
ways and means to preserve state
rights and to prevent the usurpation
Of these rights by the federal govern
ment and to plan concerted action for
enforcing state laws regulating trusts
and other Industrial corporations
Among the states which, through
their attorney generals or their assist
ants, are cooperating in the confer
ence are Mississippi, Ohio, Indiana,
Kansas. Tennessee, Texas, Illinois, Ne.
braska. Minnesota. Iowa, Kentucky
Wisconsin and Arkansas. The attor-
nev generals of a number of other
states. though unable to attend the
conference. have expressed a willing
ness to cooperate in the movement.
Three great questions are to be dis
cussed during the two days of the
conference They are: Regulation Of
railroads. with special reference to
freight and passenger traffic; curhing
of unlawful combinations Of capital
and discussion of the apparent iuris-
dictional conflict between the state and
dent and minor to these three are to
occupy attention.
The program includes the following
subjects and speakers. "Capitaliza-
ton of Public Service Corporations,
Attorney General Dana Malone of
Massachusetts; state Regulation of
Public Utilities" Attorney General
William s. Jackson Of New York;
"The Standard Oil Trust" Attorney
General Wade Ellis of Ohio; Railroad
Rate Regulations" Attorney General
Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri.
The results Of the conference will be
awaited with interest the country over
1t is pointed out that if the attorney
generals perfect a working organiZa-
ton, exchanging plans and placing the
information and evidence gathered by
one department at the disposal of all
the trust bursting operations will un-
questionably be facilitated and the
fight made much more equal than II
the past In addition, the proposed
organization is expected to be of ben
> eft in the securing of uniform laws OF
5 a variety of subjects.
A majority of the attorney generals
present at the conference, and practi
cally all of those representing the
states of the South and Middle West
: express the belief that the fedora
courts should not be permitted to in.
terfere in purely state matters. They
are of the opinion that the state courts
should be supreme within the states
so long as they do nothing in violation
of the federal law The representative:
of the Eastern states are not appar'
emily inclined so strongly to this view
of the matter, and the difference Of
opinion is likely to provoke some in
teresting debate in the conference.

LONDON ELECTS
NEWLORDM MAYOR
Ancient Customs Revived
With Ceremonies of
the Occasion.

LONDON, Sept. 2S-"All ye that are
not liverymen depart this hall on pain
of Imprisonment"
With this cry of the middle ages the
solemn mace bearer opened the quaint
proceedings of the Guild hall today
which resulted in the election of Sir
John Charles Bell as the next lord
mayor of London.
This empty ceremony of electing the
chief magistrate of the greatest city
of the world is held on St. Michaelmas
day each year and is one of the most
quaint and striking survivals of the
middle ages. Unlike all other great
municipalities, London's lord mayor Is
not the choice of the common council
or a political clique. He must needs
have been elected alderman of his
ward by the ratepayers many years
| before being eligible for the mayoralty.
He must have served as sheriff by the
election of 5000 liverymen, represent
| ing the wealthiest and most influen-
tial citizens. AS sheriff he must have
had the approval of the king, and tc
| become lord mayor he must appear
again before the liverymen and king
and on Lord Mayors day he must visi
the law courts and before the judge

past history.

DRIVING SALOONS
FROM MISSOURI

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept, SO.-The
last 10 days have changed the wet"
and dry" map of the state of Mis-
souri,. The nine elections held in that
period resulted in eight dry" counties
to one wet" Benton went wet" The
saloon element majority in Benton was
so votes.
At the beginning of 1905 Missouri
had three prohibition counties. Now
it has At, the latest one, ST. Clair
county, having just voted dry by a
majority of 500. The local option move
has been shown to be a gradual move
ment with the general recent reform
move as it's chief stimulant. The Mis-
workers in many counties, and through
its influence several dry elections
may have been brought about.
The Rev. Albert Bushnell superin-
tenlent of the Anti-Saloon league for
the Kansas City district, said yester-
day that in his estimation it would be
only few weeks until the state would
be half prohibition. He sail:
There are ia counties in the state
and AZ of them have voted against the
saloon. Only 10 more dry" elections
are needed to make the wet and dry
sides equal. There have been eight
counties made prohibition territory
within the past week. There will be
several more elections within the next
few weeks, and it looks good for the
anti-saloon people"
At the beginning of 1905 Atchison,
Harrison and Shelby counties in the
north Of Missouri were the only prohi-
bition counties. Mcdonald county in
the extreme southwest was the next
to vote against the saloon. From that
time the north and the south tiers of
counties began to vote for prohibition
until the ranks have nearly reached
the Missouri river as it divides the
state

Hay-both timothy and prairie
has been one of the best crops in
this county this year and much
larger quantity of it is being shipped
than ever before. M. F. Finnegan
has been shipping hay all the fall, and
reports that he has already shipped
about thousand tons, for which he
has paid out about $4,000. Besides
this many small shipments have been
made, and hay has been consider
able source of revenue to the farmers
of this county this year.

Postmaster Gordon, of Browns Val
ley, who is also the editor of the
Browns Valley Tribune, gives his
readers some good advice on mailing
Christmas packages. He says:-The
season for sending Christmas pack
ages through the mails has about ar
rived. All articles valued at one
dollar or more should be registered,
as the fee for registry is onlyS cents
above the postage, whether the pack
age weighs one ounce or four pounds.
No writing is permitted in merchan-
disc packages at the one cent per
ounce rate, except in case two or
more articles are sent in the same
package for different persons, when
tags containing the names may be at
tached to each article. Packages TO
be sent at the merchandise rate can
not be sealed against inspection by
the postal officials and must be so
wrapped as to permit Of easy inspec-
ton 1t is also advisable to mail
packages early, as during the week
preceding Christmas there is always
a lam in the mails, and articles are
usually delayed from one to five days.
As each postofice if now required to
classify and weigh separately all mail
matter for record, patrons should
bear in mind that articles deposited
in the Office just immediatly before
time when the mail pouches must be
closed, cannot be insured of dispatch
en- the first mail"
