Give Help to Banish Tuberculosis.

Ne give fwhst space we can spare c. articles on the waf against tabercuio sis, uow being waged by -tate and Ma tionaf governments and organized soci- cites Of both men and women, not on J 10 cure consumption but so prevent the spread of the disease, and much bene- it is being accomplished, not only in this country. but throughout the world. Itlsa movement that should receive help and encouragement from every community and every citizen of every community. No words can express the vast importance ef such a eeneil- cent work What has been done to stamp out yellow fever in this country, in Cuba, in the Philippine Islands, and elsewhere, by our National gov- ernment, with cooperation of local au- thouties. can be done 10 stay the raya- ges Of the N hite PlagHe-as consnmp- ton Is called. Hundreds Of victims are carried of by Il yearly-needlessiy, as Is no. eoneeded-and New England NHH HDUlttUUltu tEiS VI th~ victims, no section being exempted.
 For this reason we print articles OH the movement that seeks to enlighten every individual A. to the means and methods to be employed, to heal and prevent the spread Of consumption.
 We are glad to notice that our Com -. f Iau at the f.aztfn1 of printed notics, iforbidding splitting in the Subway and on the sidewalks throughout the city. IL is common habit, thoughlessly indulged In, but which can be easily overcome, especial ly when it k shown to be one of the most liable means of spreading tuber- sulesis DE. Ehkue, the enlightened Health officer, explained that the rea- son why the Subway was specially re- feffed to, in posting the notices, was because the germs of tuberculosis thriv- ed and multiplied in cool and sunless places faster than elsewhere. Sun heat and pure air cures consumption by de- slroying the germs of the disease, as they also give vigof to the human sys- tenn.
 Some may think that the warning to cease spitling in public places should be confined to those afflicted with tu- berculosis. Tint would simply defeat the desired purpose, as those afflicted and djsfeRarding the warning could not be detected, and there are many who themselves are not aware they have tubefeulous whose expectorations are as dangerous as those known to be dis eased.
 part from all other considerations feeling of good citizenship ought to influence every man-for no woman need to be warned-to willingly acqui- esce in the public authoritative request to cease spitting in public places.

Electrical Discharges From Plants

The atmosphere surrounding our
earth Is known TO be electrified. and its
charges are bound to play an impur-
tant part in many phenomena. Atm"s-
pheric clectriication thus is RESPONSE
Bile for the formation of rain and hail
and. while fine weather generally Is
characterized by the presence of posi-
tive electricity, Il change in the wealth
er is generally accompanied by a
change in the sign of atmospheric cleo
tricity That the liberalization of the
air does exert some influence on plant
growth is inferred from the faCr that
electrified plants under the influence
of sunshine. can give off electricity
from the leaves. and as the air is nat
urally electrified relatively to the soil
all plants are bound to be in constant
state of slow electrical discharge which
is made active on fhe rising OF the sun.

LONG CHASE ENDS
GOLDEN IS CAUGHT
Continued from Page -

try. Shortly after Mr.. McCalpin's re-
turn home Golden was next heard of
in the neighborhood of Cushing, Ok
1ahoma. Officers of that part of the
new state were furnished with de-
scriptions of the negro and instruct
ed to keep a lookout for him. Sheriff
Forbes and Constable McCalpin made
three or four trips there, and their
investigations disclosed the fact that
Golden had friends in that country
who were assisting him in eluding
the officers. In the mean time two
or three suspects were arrested by
Oklahoma officers but they succeed
ed in establishing their identity. Of
ficers Forbes and McCalpin went to
Tonkowa last week to look at ne
gro who had been arrestd for Col
den, but it was the same old story
of mistaken identity. The negro east
ly proved that he was not the man
wanted and was turned loose.
The crime with which Golden
stands charged is still fresh in the
minds of the readers of this paper.
1t was committed on the Henry
Batchler farm near Henry between
and o'clock on the morning of
June 6, 1908, John House, white
farmer, lived on this farm and had
Golden employed. Golden had been
working for House the past two
upon Constable Conger a complaint
had been filed against Golden in the
Justice court at Red Oak, charging
him with gaming. He entered a plea
of guilty and made a convict bond,
the bond being sigend by Mr.. House.
For several days prior to the shoot
complaining that he was sick. Mr..
House suspected that he was plan
ming to leave the country and that
he would be held responsible for the
negro's fine. The night of June 9Th
he telephoned Constable Conger that
he wanted to be released from the
bond and for him to come and get
the negro. Constable Conger drove
out to the Batchler farm early next
morning to take charge of the ne
gro Golden was found in a cabin
some distance to the rear of the res
idence occupied by Mr.. House. The
negro was called out and told thai
he was under arrest. While Consta
BILE Conger was trying to get hi.
handouts out of his pocket the ne
gro seized him around the arms with
grip that rendered resistance use
less. The negro wrenched the Off
GERS gun out of its scabbard and be
gan shooting. Four shots were fired
The first barely missed the officers
head. The negro then placed the gun
against the officers left side and
fired again. The bullet passed entire
ly through the body, coming out I'M
der the right arm pit and breaking
the bone in the arm. The third shot
wounded the officer in the left
hand and the fourth shot missed.
Carrying the officers gun with him
the negro then fled from the scene
of his crime
The officer was taken into the
house and physicians summoned to
