New Light on Pneumonia.
Before the Chicago Medieal. assoeia-
ton Dr. FL. NJ Fish has submitted a
new method of treating pneumonia.
which he says effects a sure cure inside
twenty-four hours. He asserted that
the seat of the trouble in pneumonia
cases is not in the lungs, as generally
supposed, but in the bony framework
at the top of the nose. The germ or
pneumococcus is harmless except when
pent up in cell of this kind Then it
acts like an explosive, expands and
poisons the blood. From these cells
the disease works rapidly down to the
lungs, but the fuel still comes from the
germ cells in the nose. So says DR..
Fish, and he adds that the remedy is
simply to draw the pus from the nose
cells. By doing so he has cured one of
the worst cases of pneumonia.

Graft Scandal In Baltimore.
Mayor Mahool of Baltimore has re-
moved two commissioners for the
opening of streets, a Republican and a

the charge of Contractor Robertson
that $1,000 had been paid to Exon
gresham Rusk as the go between.
The demand Of the commissioners for
$4,000 on a $4,000 contract wes ex-
posed, and the informant was the pres
ident of the Maryland Paving COM
pany. The payment of the cash to
Rusk was witnessed by detectives con-

Bank Cashier Short S46s, 900.
William Montgomery, cashier of the
Allegheny National bank of Pittsburg
and former friend and adviser of the
late Senator Quay, has been arrested
on the charge of having embezzled
SHE'S 600 of the banks funds, that
lanount being missed, but much
larger shortage being suspected. The
shortage was exposed by statements of
James Young and Henry Reiber, for
mer officials of the Farmers Deposit
bank, now in prison for extensive loot
ing of the latter institution They say
that large part of the loot went as
loans to Montgomery to cover up his
shortage. The fact that the Allegheny
National has long been the headquar-
tiers OF the state Republican machine
financially gives exceptional impor-
lance Of this procedure.

Liberals Barely Win Election.
Another byeleetion held last week in
England to fill a vacancy in parlia-
ment was virtually defeat for the
government. although the Liberal can
didate managed to pull through by a
majority of eight votes in a total of
5000. This is expected to increase the
difficulties of Churchill in his canvass
at Dundee. The latter had an amusing
experience with a militant suffragette,
Miss Maloney. there when he tried to
address an outdoor meeting of laborers.
She was angered against him for say
ing that the suffragettes had allied
themselves with the liquor interests.
When he began speaking she raised
such a din with big dinner bell that
he had to give up his meeting.

magnificent crops growing. and are sell
Ing the old crops and are preparing
to sell the new ones for high prices.
Weather and crop conditions this sea-
son have been excellent, and the new
crops, the secretary believes, will have
most buoyant effect on financial and
commercial conditions all over the
country. He confidently looks for a
continuation of the improvement in
business which has been apparent every
where for the last few months, and
for its forward movement at an ac-
CELEBRATED speed
Generally speaking" said the secre-
tary, "the information Of our depart
ment shows that in recent years there
has been a considerable increase in the
productiveness of the soil. We have
investigated this carefully, and there is
no doubt that the acre yield of crops IS
showing a most significant increase.
We attribute it to better farming meth
DDS, to assimilation Of the scientific in
formation about crop rotation, caring
for the soil, etc, which the department
and the agricultural colleges have
placed at the command of the farmers,
and to a general effort at intelligent
preservation of the elements which en-
able the soil to do its best work"
Speaking of political conditions, Sec
rotary Wilson said that the drift in the
West is all for Taft, and he expressed
strong conviction, based on his in
quiries in a number of states, that Mr.
Taft will carry all the states that
President Roosevelt carried four years
ago, so far as the West is concerned
