A GREAT MEDICAL TRIUMPH
to Get at Ma'arial Germs
In Italy.

In the history of research are
many romances. Of the discovery
that malaria was caused by mos
quitoes it is related how Doctor Low
and Doctor Sombo lived in the ma
Irlarious Roman Campagna without
quinine. They retired at sunset to
mosquito-proof hut. with double
doors end windows Of wire net and
they did not leave until sunrise. The
fact that they remained immune
while the attendants sleeping out
side contracted malaria confirmed
the belief that the mosquitoes we're
responsible. But how did they carry
the disease? At first it was thought
10 be by water.
1'e settle the question live mos
quitoes which had bitten infected
peasants, were obtained, and two
members of the school submitted to
be bitten by them. They both went
down with malaria. Again, how did
the mosquitoes transmit the germ?
BY cutting sections of the proboscis
the malarious parasite was found. It
breaks through the skin Of the pro-
boscis and is transmitted at the time
of tie sting. From the first coniec-
ture to the final proof was series Of
careful experiments, ending with
slicing of the mosquitoes proboscis.
Now this is finer than fine hair. 1t
is necessary TO stop to think. For
it is easier TO imagine the triumph
Of the proof than the delicate opera
ton that produced it.

The Burlington train arrived in

coming at terrific speed.
The engineer applied the brakes,

VETERAN WEST VIRGINIA SENA-
TOR SUCCUMBS TO A
STRANGE MALADY.

torial Delegate from New Mexico
Was Secretary of Treasury Dur<
ing Harrison Administration

Washington.-Sena Stephen B.
Elkins of West Virginia is dead. At
his bedside were his wife, his daugh-
ter, Katherine, and four sons, David,
Richard, Stephen and Blaine. Death
was due to septicaemia, or blood
poisoning. He was conscious until
within half hour of death
Senator El6ins became i'll in the
early summer at his home at Elkins,,
w. Va. He was kept in strict con-
fnement there and only the members
Of his immediate family were allowed
to see him. On Nov. 9, when he was
removed to Washington in a private
car, physicians declared that he
might be able to take his seat in the
senate at the opening of congress.
Senator Elkins' ailment had never
become definitely known. During the
summer he was reported to be suffer-.
ing from intestinal trouble in many.
respects similar to acute Indigestion,
At other times physicians are said to
have believed him afflicted with a.
nervous malady.
Senator Stephen Benton Elkinsi
was born in Perry county, Ohio, Sept
26, 1871. He was graduated FRONT
the Missouri state university at Co,
lumbia in the class of 1860. He was
admitted to the bar in 1854, and In,
the same year went to New Mexico.
In 1878 he went to congress as
territorial delegate. While at Wash,
ington he married the daughter Of
Senator Gassoway Davis, from West
Virginia.
On Dec. IT, 1891, he was appoint,
ed secretary of war and served in
that capacity till the close of Presi-
dent Harrison's administration.
In February, 1894, he was elected
to the United States senate, and was
reelected in 1901 by a unanimous
vote of the Republican members of
the legislature. He was again re-
elected in 1907. He was regarded as
one of the biggest, broadcast, brainiest
men in Washington. During a large
part of the time of his service in the
senate Mr.. Elkins was chairman of
the important committee on inter-
state commerce.

EARLE's INNATE" GIVEN DIVORCE
affinity" Artists Second Wife Has
Their Marriage Annu.ied.

New York-Julia Kuttner Earle
had her marriage to Ferdinand Pin
ney Earle, the eccentric artist who
deals in aff1nities, annulled by the
appellate division Of the supreme
court.
She was Earle's second wife, hav-
ing been married to him March II,
1908, after he had cast aside his first
wife.
The first Mrs. Earle got a divorce
from Earle in Paris to enable him to
we'd Julia Kuttner, who was his soul
mate" 1t appears there was some
irregularity in the fling Of the de-
cree so that Miss Kuttner and Earle
were married two months before the
divorce was in force. After Miss
Kuttner tired of her artist husband
she took advantage of this irregular
ity. The lower court refused to an
null her marriage. She appealed and
won.

POSTAL BANKS OPENED
IN EACH STATE
List of the Cities Where the Expert
ment Is Being Tried-Depositors
Receive Per Cent interest.

Washington.-Uncle Sam became a
full-fedged banker Tuesday when
an experimental postal savings
bank was opened in every state and
territory in the Union, in accordance
with the postal savings bank bill
passed at the second session Of the
Stxty-frst congress. The postOtdces
designated TO accept deposits are all
of the second class, and are located
in communities where the laboring
element Of the population is large.
For the past month Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock has had the various
postmasters who will handle deposits
in Washington instructing them in re-
gard to the details Of the new system.
Following is list Of the cities
where postal banks were opened:
Globe, Ariz.; Oroville, Cal; Lead
vile, Col; Occur d'Alene, Idaho; An
aconda. Mont; Carson City, New;
Ration, n M; klamath Falls, Ore;
Provo. Utah; Olympia, Wash; Lara

Va; Grafton, W. Va, and Manitowoc,
Wis.
on strictly banking lines with the
exception that there will be no pass
books, certificates Of deposits being
Issued In duplicate. Depositors will
be paid two per cent. interest yearly.
The postal funds, placed In designated
banks by the board Of trustees, will
yield the government 2A per cent. 1t
is believed that this quarter Of one
per cent difference will be sufficient
to meet all necessary expenses of
conducting the postal savings deposit
tories.
A careful study Of the law creating
postal savings banks makes it clear
that the government will be bene-
flied largely, and that within year
or two after the system has been in
operation Uncle Sam may have all the
money necessary to meet deficiencies,
and to make effective public improve
ments without having to appeal to
Wall street for financial aid.

Manuel back on the throne have been
arrested by the government. This re-
port has caused much alarm among
the people. The Royali5t faction is
said also to have many adherents in
the army and navy and if trouble
should arise the government is not
sure Of the loyalty Of the fighting
forces.
INSTRUMENTATION in the army is said
to have prompted the dispatch Of

Dor Of Lisbon to various points.

Explosion.


Pittsfield. Mass.-The lives of Is
Workmen were obliterated and 20
men were injured by the explosion
of boiler at the plant of the More
wood Lake Ice company, two miles
south of this city.
Almost the entire force of ice har-
yesters, including many Italians and
foreigners who reported for work in
answer to the company's advertise
ment for men, were sitting around the
boiler warming themselves when the
explosion occurred.
The boiler was used In furnishing
power to haul the cakes of ice up the
inclines into the storage house, and is
said by the officials 20 have been in
perfect condition Wednesday, when 1t

wrecked by the terrific blast, which
hurled debris and human bodies
through the air. One body was blown
200 feet, while the cylinder of the
boiler was found in tree hundred
feet away. The victims were all hor-
ribly mangled and Identification is diff
cult.
The property loss probably will not
exceed $500, as only the boiler house
was demolished.
