to be spreading among the Indians of
western Nevada II is trachonla, a maj :
adv that thus far HAS bsen confined to
the redskins. but it is possible to trans
nit it to the whites
There seems to be no remedy for the
disease, the ultimate result Of which is
total blindness. Trachona is coinmuni-
cable. It's first symptom is pain in the
eyeballs, which grow bloodsliot. The
pupils then contract and sight is lost
In order to avoid any possibility of
coutagion while the disease exists. the
Indians should be kept at a distance.
Those who live in tribal relation should
not be employed as donestics, unless
they have been examined by physi-

FOLKS FRIENDS HAVE
STRONG HOPE
Result of the Election Makes
Him the Leading Candidate.

All of the friends of Joseph
Folk in st. Louis who have
been little or much concerned in
those political activities designed
TO further his natural claims TO,
recognition as Democracy lead
er in the presidential campaign
of 1912, are particularly gratified
because of the Democratic sue
cesses won by Dix in New York,
by Wilson in New Jersey, and
by Harmon in Ohio.
They say they are gratified be-
cause they believe the signal
triumphs won by these three
Democratic governors-eleet make.
each Of them conspicuous and
natural candidate, for the pres
idential nomination, which the
friends of Mr.. Folk are anxious
to see awarded to Missouri's for
mer governor.
Lon Sanders, chairman Of the.
Missouri Democratic League, and
one of Mr.. Folks most active ad-
vocates, said yesterday.
There is every reason to be
lieve that the brilliant success
won by Mr.. Dix in New York
and the striking victory won by
Woodrow Wilson in New Jersey,
place those gentlemen in the
forefront of Democratic thought
in the East as desirable and
worthy candidates for the presis
Dental office.
"Curiously, one might view
these facts as tending to injure
the chances of Governor Folk for
the presidential nomination in
1912, but reflection discloses that
they add immensely to his
strength as a candidate.
81 don't mean that they add
directly to his voting strength
at this time, but that proportion
ately, the strength of his pledged
or natural following is greatly
enhanced.
eve Folk-for- President men
and our numbers are confined
neither to Missouri nor to the
West-have not only a hope, but
a confident belief, based upon as
suranees which already have been
made, that Mr., Folk will go into
the next Democratic National
Convention backed by the de-
termined support of every state
west of the Mississippi River.
Gin addition to this sectional
and natural strength, Mr.. Folk
has been assured by Democrats
who represent party ideals and
party practical politics as well,
that the votes of both Maine and
Massachusetts, will be offered for
his support in the convention OF
1912.
"These pledges are not the per
%functory effusions of an occasion.
Folk was scrutinized closely when
making his recent great cam
paigns in both Massachusetts
and Maine. The Eastern
Democrats desired to estimate
his stature. How Missouri's can
didate bore this keen examina-
ton is attested by the records. He
made a pronounced hit in the
East and his speeches bore great
fruit.
81 think we can rely upon the
pledges which have been made
TO us in his behalf for 1912.
"Now, if Harmon alone haC
won, or Dix alone had won, or i
Wilson alone had won, Of thos'
three candidates, last election
there would have been raised NJ
against Folk in the East a Dem
ccratic popular idol who's,
strength would have taken t.
itself that which is now distribu
ted.

Although an OutcaSt in America, he was
received with warmth by some of the
great men Of England. Canning, Castle
reagh. Mulgrave and others gave recep-
tons in his honor. To them he was the
celebrated Col. Burr" If he saw in these
attentions any prospect Of support by the
government, his hopes soon were shat
tered. Napoleon had placed his brother
Joseph on the throne of Spain, and Eng
land. the hereditary enemy Of Spain. sud
denly swung around and became the
champion and ally of that country.
The diary Of Burr shows that his purse
was lean, but his courage strong in those
days. Never did he give up to despair.
Once he had but twopence left. Philo-
sophically he wrote that he was lucky in
having twopence and not being reduced
to one penny, for with twopence he could
hear the jingle of the coins. whereas
with one penny he could not have that
satisfaction.
A loan put him in funds temporarily
and he went to Scotland. He and Sir
Walter Scott became ardent friends, and
when he returned to London Charles and
Mary Lamb and Mary Wallstonecraft
were among those who entertained him.
But now a new trouble developed to ha-
rass him. He was notified by Lord
Hawesbury that he must leave England.
by what authority do you order it,"
asked Burr.
Under the alien act" was the reply.
Then Burr did a thing that was ignoble.
II believe" he said. the contention OF
the British government is that once an
Englishman always an Englishman."
THAT is so,'' was the acknowledgment.
Then" said Burr, Il am English l

trip, however. there came to Jefferson
from Wilkinson enough information to
warrant the President to act.
Copies of cipher letters from Burr to
Wilkinson and Wilkinson to Burr exposed
the whole conspiracy. At Frankfort, KY.
Burr was arrested. There was a trial
and Burr was acquitted. Clever lawyer
that he was, he had no difficulty in MAX
ing the trial a farce. Then, with less
than 100 men. he proceeded down the
Ohio and entered the Mississippi. At
Natchez he was rearrested. but was re-
leased by the grand jury. His men, how
ever, alarmed at the Intervention Of the
federal authorities, began to desert. Burr.
seeing no hope of putting his project
through and fearful of again being ar
rested. started to flee across Mississippi
In Alabama he was taken into custody
by Capt. (afterward Maj. Gem Gaines
and sent north.
In June. 1907. he was tried at Richmond
for treason. Chief Justice Marshall pre-
sided and some of the greatest lawyers in
America were engag ed in the case. Burr
took personal charge Of the defense and
was acquitted.
His great scheme failure, his fortune
gone and many of his friends bankrupt
through him, he did not give up hope
There was no career open to him in the
United States. He could not return to
New York, for the murder indictment
still hung over him. Nine men out of
ten looked upon him with scorn and con-

subjected to a more rigid scrutiny. Every
letter he wrote and every letter addressed
to him was read by the police. He could

Many times in those seventeen months
the wanderer went hungry. Many times
he was reduced to a few sous. He longed

baths were the very worst things they
could take. Likewise they feared te
say hot. for fear that Bilker might
say the same thing about hot baths
SO most OF them compromised with
their consciences and said tepid OF
warm.
Huh! That's what I thought" Bill
ker would instantly snort. Il thought
the matter with you. That's what's
knocking your health to smithereens.
That's what1l kill you If you don't
stop 1T. and stop it at once!'
What is?" the friend would splutter,
on you? My health's not knocked to
smlthereens or smither anything else.
There's nothing particular the matter
with me. A little rheumatic. that's all.
But I'm not going to let it kill me nor
worry me. either. What's on you, any
how. Bilker?"
Wen, you're numbering yourself by
inches. that's ALL Bilker would pro-
coed. Warm baths, hey? Why. man.
you might just as well smoke opium
or eat hasheesh or chew betel mt or
drink absinthe by the gallon as to
make a practice of taking warm baths.
Don't you know that? Because. you
know, you look like q man who ought
to know that
But. gosh. man, I've been taking

friend would expostulate.
That doesn't alter the facts" Bilker
would reply dogmatically. Not in the

exceptionally rugged to've survived
that outrageous treatment of yourself.
You've got by solely by the provi-
dence of heaven. You've Slapped your
self, though. You've worn yourself

of what you might have been, the kind
of health you might have had today
If you had always taken cold baths.

sidious. the scandalous warm baths!'
Bilker's corralled friend would be pref
ty likely to whistle bit at this or quicker
his lips to whistle anyway. for Bilker is
decidedly insignificant physically-a shriv-
eled bachelor with sharp features and a
nervous, cranky manner.
However. the friend usually would re-
ply:
But can't take the cold baths. They
don't agree with me. They knock me out.
