WHITE PLAGUE
MAY Be CURED
BY ANTITOxIN

Philadelphia Pa, Jan. 6.-By Official
announcement yesterday the greatest
discovery in the war-against consump-
ton since the finding of the tubercu-
losis bacillus by Kock, was made pub
lie.
This is the discovery by DR.. Randle
c. Rosenberger, famous biologist and
holder of the chair of bacteriology at
Jefferson Medical college. that the
tuberculosis germ can be readily found
in the blood, long before it reaches the
lungs; that it is then in a condition
which makes it readily amendabie to
destruction by simple treatment and
fresh air and that it will soon be pos
sible to use perfect antitoxin which
will stamp the disease out entirely.
BY Dr. Rosenberger's discovery con-
sumption, from the greatest scourage
of modern times dwindles down to the
easiest treated disease in existence.
DIR. Rosenberger has tested his dis
covery and his method upon $50 cases,
in none of which was there a failure.

Yesterday in Congress

Washington, Jan. 6.-Following is a
summary, compiled from the official
proceedings, Of the work of both
houses of congress yesterday:
SENATE-The business of the senate
consumed less than an hour. nearly half
of which was devoted to the considera- :
tion of nominations in executive ses-
sion, of which large number were
confirmed. A motion by Senator Gore
TO print the inaugural addresses and
the proclamation of emancipation by
President. Lincoln in the Congression-
AIRY year of Lincoln's birth brought
Senator Bailey of Texas to his feet
with an objection to the printing of
the proclamation of emancipation. Fur
ther discussion was stopped by a ref
erence of the entire matter to the COM
mittee on printing. AT 1858 p. m. the
|senate adjourned.
I HOUSE - Transacting business with
out even the semblance of a quorum
miscellaneous character, but of little
general public Importance. The only in
cident worthy of note was at heated
discussion among the members of the
Indiana delegation over a bill to pro-
vide for the establishment of judicial
divisions in the district of Indiana
The measure failed of passage. Over
tion of the bill providing for the erec-
ttion of embassy and legation buildings

EARTHQUAKES
EFFECT ON The
HUMAN MIND

Mcssina, Jan. 6.-The work of res
cue is being pushed on indefatigably
by night as well as by day, and even
now persons alive are occasionally dug
out from the ruins. An old woman was
released from the wreckage of the
church of San Francisco yesterday ev-
ening She did not seem to realize
that she had been buried for so many
days. She explained that she thought
she was entombed in the church, after
having died natural death, and that
she was living in the hereafter.
Some of the survivors seem to be
quite incapable of helping themselves
in even the most elementary manner
The following incident is good exam.
pie of this condition: A correspondent;
met a family, consisting of father
mother, and five children, standing
practically naked in a small open
square. The rain was coming down
in torrents. "F'or the love of God helr
us to get out of this inferno" said the
father of the family. THAT is easy
enough" was the reply. "Go down tt
the harbor and you will Bfnd boats
ready to take you away"
"How can we get thereg' was the
next question.
"On your two legs" was answered.
But the family refused to move, th'
father explaining that they had M
umbrellas.

BY TAV.

Washington, Jan. G.-(Special.) J.
Fairport, near Muscatine, stands the
best chance of securing the $4,000
clam hatchery authorized by congress.
But as yet the location has not been
positfvefS teter:nined, according to a
statement Of Commissioner George NJ.
Bowers, of the bureau Of fisheries, to
The Argus correspondent.
Favor DRwsOn's District.
There are other points along the
Mississippi that would make desirable
sites for the hatchery, but the fish
commissioner would like to favor Rep
resentative Dawson's district if pos
sible, because it was practically
through his efforts alone that con
gress was induced to make an appro
priation for the hatchery. Therefore
if Fairport offers the same advantages
as any other point on the river, and
it appears from all the information al
ready collected, that it does. the hat
cherry will go to that point.
