UNUSUAL FREsH-AIR CURE.
Recovery Of Burned Woman Who's,
Cnse Was Regarded as Hopeless.

One OF the most modern cures for
burns has Just proved successful In
the case OF Mrs Mary Renso, who was
discharged from the Garretson hos
ptal yesterday. where she had lain
for forty days When admitted to the
hospital almost every inch OF skin and
some OF the flesh had been scorched
from her body
During the entire time the woman
was In the hospital she was not band
aged In any way. nor did she suffer
any pain or itch incident to the grow
Ing OF new tissue, She received a
treatment Of picric acid, prepared tai
cum powder, and fresh air. The lat
ter was kept continuously flowing
over her body,
The doctor and the nurses who ac-
complished the cure refused to give
their names, but II was learned that
Dr. Russell, who Is very young man,
accomplished the results. One of the
physicians Of the hospital said last
night:
The woman was brought in here
forty days ago with the skin and some
Of the tissue OF her body burned away.
She had what are technically known
as third degree burns She had been
doing housework and her clothing
became ignited. Her case was given
up as hopeless. but II was considered
good time to try this fresh-air cure.
1T was tried, but no one expected II
to succeed. The woman's muscles and
moving tendons were visible to the
naked eye. The plcric acid, which is
used In tanning leather, was applied
daily. and then followed a coating OF
prepared powder. No bandage or COW
ering touched the woman at any time.
She was fed by two nurses, who
watched her daily To our surprise,
she began 10 recover, and to-day she
left the hospital without assistance,
cured.
She looks as II she were badly
sunburned. It Is often held that q
person with half or third of the skin
burned away will not recover, but
this case has somewhat upset the reg

CAMPAIGN CLOSING.
Final Efforts Of All Parties on Grays
Harbor Saturday Night-It is
Now Up to tho Voters.

What little ginger there has been
in the Chehalis county campaign
was injected last week. Candidates
and speakers of all parties found it
difficult to arouse General Apathy,
the old gentleman just declined to
wake up. Politicians and candidates
the country over are at sea as to just
what the attitude of the people por-
tends, and while the heads of par
ties are giving out estimates show
ing their candidates sure winners,
the fact is that one mans guess is
as good as another in this instance,
and nobody can foretell the result of
tomorrow's election.
Meetings were held Saturday night
in Aberdeen by the republicans in
the Grand theater, and the social
lists, in the Finn hall. At the for
mer the attendance was slim. Judge
George D. Emery, Of Bellingham, and
Tax Commissioner J. c. Frost were
the speakers. and their fervid elo-
quence was not able to arouse the
old-time enthusiasm. The socialists

Loomis, of Aberdeen, last night ad-

A feature of the meeting, which
caused the speaker some discomfort
until he learned the cause of the
trouble, was the appearance of F. A.

bears the name of "Bryan." Just

A COURT House CONSPIRACY

I'm answer to the inquiry address,
ed to me relative to my present po-
sition on the question Of new court
house at Montesano, | would say
that the matte appears t. me to be
entirely foreign to the Cam,aicn. 1
can not conceive that IT, Is an issue,
at this time. Nor does this inquiry
appeal to me as having bnon inspir-
eG by that friendliness which is pro-
fessed in it. But will he more
frank than my questioners and give
their queries candid rep.y.
II am not a party to any scheme
to build new court house at Mon
tesano. l do not even know that
there is such scheme If there is
l have nothing to do win it.
Further, l am not pledged in any
way in this matter. am not pledged
to build court house at Monte
sano, nor am I pledged not to build
a court hous at MOntesanO. A man
who would make either pledge would
be fool, from every standpoint, and
especially from the standpoint of the
public welfare, for who is to say
what will be the best thing for the
who is competent lOng-range
prophet among us?
"It appears to me that this matter
has been dragged in on wheelbar-
row, particularly since it comes at
so late day in the campaign"
The reply to a very proper inquiry
not only evades the question, but is
actually insulting to the inquirers.
Mr.. Arland begins his letter BY,
doubling the friendliness expressed
in the inquiry, and then hastens to
deny something not yet charged, in
fact, he protests too much that he
is not party to scheme that was
not mentioned in the inquiry He
was asked to state to those having
every right to know how he would
vote in a certain contingency that
they felt was apt to arise, and he re-
plies, in effect, "YOu must think me
fool to say what will be required
in the matter of a court house in the
next two years, although he did not
bat an eye making at "long range
prophecies two years ago, when he
ventured predictions on the same
subject covering twenty years.
Any one acquainted with the poll
| tical methods of Abel, Arland, Davis
e. Co., in the past who fails to rec
ognize a deliberate conspiracy tc
anchor the county seat at Montesanc
within the next two years, would be
furnished with guardian by the
courts il he exhibited a similar cred
ulity in his personal business af
| fairs. A vote for Arland or Davis to-
morrow will be a vote to accomplish
this very thing.

number Of voters have right to

ing matter that may entail an ex-
penditure Of the money belonging to
the people who will vote tomorrow,
amounting to quarter million dol

contained in the third paragraph:
"If elected, will you as a member Of
the Board Of County Commissioners,
give your vote to project that may

new court house at Montesano?" If
Mr.. Arland was honest in his ex-
pressed opinion two years ago. this

just what the inquiry requested him
not to do. He resorts to evasion. He

M r. Sherwood, Former County Commissioner. and.
Present Manager of Concern Which ASSESS
or Carter swears Gets Ten per Cent
Assessment Commends Traitor
to Grays Harbor of
Two Years Ago.

Noticing the continued efforts of
The Aberdeen Herald to injure Geo.
l.. Davis, republican candidate for
county commissioner" M. r. Sher-
wood felt constrained to rush to the
defense of his former conferee to the
extent of couple of colum - in sew
aral of the Harbor papers, in the
long course of which he openly
vouches for the ability and integrity
of Mr.. Davis. The least Mr.. Davis
can now do is to return the compli-
ment by publicly endorsing Mr..
Sherwood, and the trick will be COM
plete. From a sentimental point of
view, the performance of Mr. Sher-
wood is notable, in view of the fact
that the language used by him two
years ago, in describing the treachery
of Mr.. Davis to Grays Harbor was
scarcely fit for public print, albeit,
nobody disputed it's truth, so that
this defense by Mr.. Sherwood reveals
a spirit of forgiveness hitherto totally
unsuspected in that gentleman's S
makeup.
Although disliking to spoil the
good story of Mr.. Sherwood, we must
say that he, in common with other
ueItIuSIS vi lLlS tIdltOT W JIlc III
| terests of Grays Harbor starts out
with the false premise, that the at
tack comes from The Herald This
paper has called down upon it's de-
voted head the wrath of Geo. L. Da-
Wis and every taXdodger in the coun-
ty by simply publishing what was
said Of Mr.. Davis by his republican
friend, Mr.. Frank Thurber, and the
sworn testimony of the county asses
sor, one being reproduced from a re-
publican paper, and the other from
the public records, and both public
property before being printed in
this paper.
But, waving this trifling error
what is there to this defense of a
man seeking to be replaced in a po-
sition where he so flagrantly violat-
ed the confidence of his district two
short years ago? We are tempted
to think that our reprinting the
Thurber charges against Davis is not
the goad that pricked Mr. Sherwood
on to public utterance, but rather the
exposure of the ten per cent. assess
ments granted to concerns, one of
which Mr.. Sherwood is manager of,
by the board of equalization-which
was CARED on when both Mr.. Sher-
wood and Mr.. Davis were members
Of that board-was the real burr un-
der the saddle.

GANG PLAYS LAST CARD.
New Court House Conspirators Make
Last Desperate Play-An
Eleventh Hour Canard.

That letter from Aberdeen republi-
cans to Chas. w. Arland acted as a
bomb in the camp of the new court
house conspirators, and Unexpectedly
forced their hand. The last card up
their sleeve was played Saturday
when every republican paper in the
county was furnished with state
ment from E. H. Story, of Montesa-
nov. H. Abel's first lieutenant in
the onspiracy-stating that A. j.
Jackson, the democratic opponent of
c. w. Arland, was ineligible to the
office of commissioner for the first
district, as he did not reside in the
district. Listen to the statement of
Mr.. Story-which appeared simil-
taneous with the lodging letter from
Mr.. Arland:
"All of Mr.. Jackson's property is
in Section 49," says Mr.. Storey, "and
Section IS is in the second district.
Mr.. Jackson does not live within a
mile of the boundary line Of the first
district He is not properly a can
didate from that district and could
not qualify for the commissionership
If elected-which, of course, he
won't be. He votes in the Mel
bourne precinct, and presumably his
home is in that precinct, which is
precinct of the second district. 1t
seems to me that man ought to
know where he lives before he be-
comes a candidate for office"
OF course, there is not a word of
truth in it. If there was the con-
spirators would be the last people on
earth to give it out. Why, If it were
true the retention of Arland would
be assured, and they would havel
smiled in silence at the fools voting
for Jackson when he could not take
the office, thus allowing Arland to
hold for the next two years, he hold
ing under the law until his success
sor is elected and qualified"
The Herald had conversation
over the phone with Mr.. Jackson
this morning who said the story was
simply lie manufactured at the
eleventh hour in a desperate attempt
to save Arland-and the new court
house. Mr.. Jackson has resided in
the first commissioner district for
many years, and votes in the Wy
nooche precinct, not Melbourne, as
Mr.. Story says. the dividing line be-
tween the commissioner districts be-
ing that between Wynooche and Mel
bourne precincts. The PRONUNCIATION
Of this story shows the desperation
Of the gang, and confirms the state
ment of the Herald, that "a vote for
Arland is a vote for the new court
house."

space with scraps of county statis-.s
Tics, which have about the same re-
lation to the candidacy of Mr.. Davis
as would have the history of airship
construction. Those statistics are
quoted, not to relieve Mr.. Davis of
the onus of any of the Thurber char
ges, but to attempt to belittle
his opponent, Chas. Mcintyre, and in
this he is either ignorant of the real
tacts or he wilfully distorts them to-
further his argument. Had he known,
or been willing to tell the facts in
regard to the Northern Pacific tax
rebate he would have informed his
readers that when the fusion admin
istration assumed control of the af-
fairs of Chehalis county-after a
generation of unrestricted republi-
can rule-they found the county
practically bankrupt, and its war;
rants being hawked about for about
20 cents on the dollar. He would
have told that the N. P. Ry. Co. had
refused to pay it's taxes for several
years, owing to the inflated values
placed upon its property by republic
can officials during. the boom of the
early '90's. Had he thus given an
idea of conditions, he might have con-
tinued, that the board Of commissions
ers-harassed on all sides to pay out
standing bills contracted by their
ecessOrs-were confronted with
the two horns of dilemma. They
could either settle this tax suit and
realize fifty odd thousand dollars,
with which to retire some interest
bearing warrants, or fight a suit
which promised to last for years, and
thus preserve some bankable value
to the county's paper, which the best
legal advice obtainable said they
stood good chance to lose in the
end.
Had Mr.. Sherwood been really de-
sirious of airing the history bf this
county at that period, he might nave
said that w. H. Abel-the present
political godfather of Davis and Ar
land-was county attorney at that
time, and that the county commits
sioners settled the suit upon the ad-
vice Of Mr.. Abel. The attempt to
claim credit for Mr.. Davis for the
payment of the county debt reminds
one of the conceited fly on the wagon
wheel. The county commissioners
paid nothing, beyond their pro rata
taxes-if they paid that justly. They
simply took advantage of the i'm
proved times to levy taxes upon the
people, who paid the debt.

Dor this year. Whenever the name
of William Jennings Bryan was
mentioned, it met with vociferous
applause.
Browder D. Brown, democratic
nominee for congress. was the first
speaker, and he left a pleasing i'm
preston up his audience. He was
followed by Senator Geo. F. Cotter-
Ill, democratic preference for United
States senator. Mr.. Cotterill was
taken i'll on the cars coming from
Seattle. and was scarcely in condi-
tion to make speech, and was COM
PEELED to speak from a chair. Not
withstanding his indisposition, Sem
ator Cotterill gave mastery re-
sumo Of the political issues, showing
the illogical and inconsistent posi-
tion of the republican party in this
campaign. He was listened to with
marked attention for an hour and a
quarter, and was frequently inter-
rupted with applause.

LABOR Vote BRYAN'S
TRADES BODIES PLEDGE Them.
SELVES FOR BRYAN and kern.
Headquarters OF the Ameri.
Federation Of Labor Is Flooded
with Letters Daily from the Vari.
Gus States Showing Sentiment for
Bryan.

CHICAGO, October 29.-M. Grant
Hamilton, who is in charge of the Chi
cago headquarters of the American
Federation of Labor al the Victoria
Hotel, believes Bryan and Kern will
be elected. No man in the country is
in more complete touch with the labor
situation and it is his opinion that Mr..
Bryan will get at least 80 per cent of
the labor vote. Speaking of the atti-
tude oflabor in this campaign, he said:
During the last four weeks our
Chicago headquarters have been flood
ed with correspondence from all the
doubtful states, New York, Ohio and
Indiana predominating, while rela-
lively large amount Of mail bearing
upon the issues of the campaign has
been received from the remainder of
the states denominated as doubtful.
In carefully going over the informa-
tion conveyed by these messages
which at high tide reached 300 letters
per day, it is found that the sentiment
among the men of labor has been rap
dly crystallizing during the time
mentioned, until today, a conserva-
tive statement is that 80 per cent of
our city central bodies and 99per cent
of our state bodies have endorsed in
strong terms the program mapped out
by the American Federation of Labor
and put into operation by its execu-
tive council.
TO date, 1000 letters have been re-
| ceived and in casting up the sentiment
which prevails, in the localities from
| which these communications originat-
| ed, it is discovered that the first three
/ mentioned states become the center
of activity. Viewing the situation
from the standpoint as localized in
New York, Ohio and Indiana, indica-
tions of an almost positive character
show that the votes of the organized
Worl,men to tho extent of between so
and S5 per cent will be cast for Mr..
Bryan.
"The trend Of sentiment in the ranks
of labor has been strongly marked by
its rapid advance during the last week,
so much so, that I have understated
the per cent which believe to be the
actual fact.
"From every point of view, taking
into consideration; personal corre-
spondence, demands for labor litera-
ture, reports from men in the field,
who are working in our interests, and
from all the contributory sources in
timately cooperative with the move-
ment instituted by labor, no other
conclusion can be drawn than that so
far as the men of labor are concerned,
Mr.. Bryan will receive greater sup
port than any presidential candidate
in the history of this country has re-
ceived from that source. Indeed, the
outlook is extremely rosy.
