A MIDDLE.

The sad news was flashed through
the country some days ago that Mr..
d. @. Eggleston. Secretary of the Com
monwealth, was dead. He was can
didate on the Democratic ticket and
the lists were closed under the law,
when the news of his death became
known. The Democratic party was at
once put in predicament as to what
could be done in the way of filling the
position for the fast approaching cleo
ton. The popularity and incompre-
hensible condition of the law which
makes no provision for such occur
rences has given some anxiety to those
who are expected to find remedy.
There ought to be an easy way out of
this trouble if the law makers had
looked into conditions as they ought
reasonably to have done. But as it is
all seems to be in middle, and now
the name of the new candidate which
has been given, will have to be written
on the ballots.

CAMpHOR SAID TO BE
CURE FOR PNEUMONIA
HYPODERMIC INJECTIONS
EFFECT CURES


EFFECT CURES.
Berlin-German scientists are much
interested in what is said to be new
cure for pneumonia, discovered by DIR.
August Selbert, of st. Francis hospital,
in New York, an account of which he
has furnished to the Munchener Medi-
zinische Wochenschrift. A German
and a graduate of Leipzig University,
he has chosen a journal of his native
land as his medium of announcing the
results of his experiments. DR.. Sell
bert's surprising record of twenty-one
cures out of twenty-one cases has ar
rested the instant attention of the en-
tire fraternity.
Camphor is the remedy used by Sell
bert. He injected it hypodermically.
He believes from his experience, he
says, that the action of the drug is two
fold. 1t stimulates. 1t kills the germs.
Until two years ago he employed the
camphor solely for it's stimulating eff
feet. But since then he has used it
regularly in all cases of pneumonia in
the hope of killing the pneumococci,
or pneumonia germs, circulating in the
blood. He has used it, he says, not
only in frank, uncomplicated pneu-
monia, but also for pneumoccoccus en-
pyema and is-infammation
of the membrane of the heart compli-
Gated with pus in the lungs.
Every one of the twenty-one pneu-
monia cases treated with camphor by
Selbert made, he says, are complete re-
coveries. In none of the cases was the
usual crisis. The camphor seemed to
do away with that. In every patient
slow, steady improvement began I'M
mediately after the first injection, and
continued with the further injections
The camphor, furthermore, shortened
the duration of the illness. The drug
| was used in the form of a 20 per cent.
camphor oil in large doses, repeated
every twelve hours. Though such
doses given hypodermically would
seem to be heroic, Selbert says there
were no bad effects. All of the patients
| were treated by Selbert in the summer.

The crowd to hear Hon. Carter Glass
on Monday morning was small, too
small for such an occasion. M. Glass
is really a most interesting speaker
and deserved better audience. The
smallness of the audience was due to
the apathy in the campaign, and the
bungling way politics has been ham
died here, and not to lack of apprecia-
ton Of the ability Of Mr.. Glass.

Col. b. o. James, the new candidate
for Secretary of the Commonwealth,
was in Staunton Monday shaking
hands. Col. James belongs to that
branch of the Democratic party in
which many of us train just now, the
Minority. We are glad that we have
one representative on the ticket even
though he be given to us by our mag
unanimous friends, the Majority, who
are always virtuous when compelled
TO be.

The various panegyrics pronounced
on Judge Mann by the different speak
ers are classic, but they become so not
by what they contain, but by what
they do not contain. No one of all of
the stump speakers seems to have the
hardihood to speak out, that is to tell
the people about him. Usually the
candidate heading the ticket has some
friends who will paint at least mod
est picture. But in Judge Mann's
case there are ''none so poor to do him
reverence"

A FLING AT MIR. KENT.

Ending his speech Of nearly two
hours duration by paying his respects
to Captain Kent, the Republican NOM
inee for governor, Mr.. Glass declared
that he was not fit to be governor, that
he had no moral right to aspire to that
high office, and if he wanted to know
why, all he had to do was to ask him
and he would tell him.
The above quotation from Hon. Car
ter Glass speech made here Monday
morning appeared in the Leader of this
city in its issue of the 18th.
Now we hold no brief for Mr.. Kent,
nor are we the guardians of bis reputa-
ton, but the above strikes us as re-
markable utterance by gentleman
like Mr.. Glass, who knows the effect
of innuendo as he does, and who knows
that an insinuation is often worse than
open accusation. Mr.. Glass by all
means should have told whyMr. Kent
is not fit to be governor, or left what
he did say unsaid. When Mr.. Glass
reasons for Mr.. Kent's unfitness be-
came known, they possibly would
have been no reasons at all with some
people. Persons unfit in Mr.. Glass
opinion, might in the opinion of others
be the very person for the place, as the
whole thing turns on individual opin-
ion, and there are some in the world
who would be slow to be guided in
this as in many other things, entirely
by the opinion of that distinguished
gentleman.
1t is due to Mr.. Kent's friends at
least, that Mr.. Glass give bill of par
ticulars, that he specify in words
which are clear and unequivocal,
wherein Mr.. Kent is an unfit person,
and the friends of Mr.. Kent here with
whom we have talked, and who know
his character, affirm that the specifi-
cations will be sorry stuff-in no sense
rising to the dignity of such as should
be behind the charges Mr.. Glass made.

Justice Peckham of the U. s. SUI
preme Court died on Saturday last.
This leaves the first vacancy on that
court to be filled by Mr.. Taft, and the
constitution of that court is most inn
portant matter for the people. If MI.
Roosevelt had had opportunity it is
thought he would have appointed men
who would have wiped out some por-
lions of the constitution as obsolete.
What Mr.. Taft, who promised to fol-
low in his footsteps and carry out his
policies will do, we are not advised.

SOMETHING LIKE A FUNERAL,

Monday last was court day. The
smallest crowd we ever saw was in at
tendance. We will not attribute this
to any one cause. Possibly the people
were too busy to come, possibly this
was not "hoss" trading court, maybe
the closing of the bars were the cause.
Who can tell? But this much we do
know, the crowd was small, listless,
tradeless, and left early. If this con-
tinues court days will soon begin to
look like funeral occasions, and cease
to be occasions for the gathering of the
people.

Once again, at 10:45 nightly now,
ladies while jabbing hat-pins into their
hats, and their escorts, while picking
up gloves and wraps, are unconscious

"Whistle as You Walk Out" and
''Little Girl in Blue" because ssknight

umphantly from the B. C. Whitney

1t is brand new "Knight For A

to beguile the theatre-going public
which still applauds. There are new
costumes, new scenery, new songs, new
dances, new 'stunts" and new charms
throughout. Of course the indestruc-
tible favorites are still retained in res
ponse to the public's decree, such as
"I'd Like Another Situation And
the ''elopement" scene with it's uproar-
GUS admixture of farce and tragedy,
with the accumulative events trans
piring high upon the ladder, is still
the storm-certer of the headlong fun.
This year the cast which produces
"Knight For A Day" is the most rep
resentative and capable that the pro-
duction has ever known. There are,
for instance, such well known enter
tanners as Frank Deshon, Ellen Tate,
VIM. Stowell, Lea Remonde, Jack
Saunders, Connie Mack, Grace With

vulture Steadily Producing

The Vulture mine and mill keeps up it's steady operation, the only stops be- ing occasioned by the necessary re- pairs and cleanups. The work goes on night and day and there is worlds of ore in sight. The new we'll is produc- ing plenty of water and the company has recently received a new engine for pumping purposes. The water is piped to hill above the camp upon which is a thousand gallon tank, which has been in use for some time, and new 5O,OOO gallon tank is now in course of construction. Angel Contreras has been out there installing it for the past week or two. Everything con- nected with the operation of the prop erty carries the impression that good sound business judgment and ample finar ces are behind it. The appear ance of permanency characterizes ev- erything associated with it. The Bos- ton Journal of June 26 says in regard VO AVs hO iOduihS AOuoutO ou yOS- terday's Boston curb market was Vul- ture, which is advancing to 3-4, made new high record. As the value of this proposition and its con- servative management is coming to be better known, the stock is begin ming to attract much favorable atten- tion."
 It is pleasing to local people to note that the mine is attracting the atten- tion it merits, for it is certainly a mine Of great magnitude, and it is the be- lief of the people here that under its present management it is making rap- i'd paces toward the duplication of it's former production of l6,OOO,OOO$ of U. s. mint record. It is also a matter o. history that gold aggregating over a million dollars in value was stolen from the ore teams during the time the ore was being hauled from the mine to the mill at Seymour, and later to Wickenburg.-Bou Times.

A large number of claims have already been located and miners are hocking to the locality. It is stated that assays as high as l24$ have been obtained from surface showing.

A Pullman. Washington, dispatch says: William Chambers has returned from eastern Oregon, where he spent several weeks at his mining property near Canyon City. He brought back the finest piece of gold quartz ever seen here. It is fairly studded with coarse gold and runs about 15O, ,OOO$ a ton, it is said. A small piece he brought with him, not half as large as the hand, is said to have contained more than two ounces in gold. A stringer of the rich quartz was struck in the tunnel 40 feet from the surface. The stringer is only from three to five inches wide, but in five feet of this more than 3,OOO$ in gold was taken out while he was in the mine. The specimen is attracting much interest and attention here.
