A NEW DIPHTHERIA SERUM
State Laboratory Proposes to Pre-
vent Spread of the Disease
by ConvaIescents.

Madison.--Ehe newly discovered
method of preventing the spread of
dipbtheria by persons convalescing
from the disease is being introduced
into Wisconsin by the hygienic lab
oratory of the University of Wlscon-
sin, which is about to furnish physi-
clans of the state the necessary germ
cultures, free of charge. The germ
frequently persists from thirty to fif-
ty days in persons apparently we'll,
and these persons, while not sick
themselves, can transmit the disease
to those with whom they come in
contact. Cases are on record where
the germ has been found for more
than year after the person had re-
covered from diphtheria. These con-
valescent persons, together with
those who are known as 'diphtheria
carriers, present a serious problem
to the health officer. The uniform
success of the germ culture treatment
in the prevention of the spread of
diphtheria, since its discovery two
years ago, led DR.. M. p Ravenel of
the university hygienic laboratory to
decide to furnish the cultures to ply
sicians.

ROAD BLAMED FOR WRECK
Teiegraphers' Union Assert Illinois
Central Officials Are Responsible
for kinmundy Wreck,

Washlngton.-The wreck on the I'LL
nois Central at Kinmundy, H., which
caused the death of James 7. Hara-
nan, former president of the line, and
other prominent railroad officials,
was direct result of failure on the
part of the railroad company to en-
ploy sufficient men to keep it's signals
system working, according to charges
filed with the interstate commerce
commission by the Telegraphers'
union
1t is charged that the Illinois Cen
trail had closed large number of it's
block systems, and that for a dis
lance of 80 miles from the post where
the disaster happened, there were no
telegraphers or block stations in
operation at the time of the wreck.
1t is alleged that the railroad COM
pany cut down it's force and closed
its block stations, thereby endanger-
ing the lives of it's passengers, solely
to Offset the greater cost of operation
caused by the increased wages of the
telegraphers.
The interstate commerce commits
sion acted quickly on receipt of the
charges. Hiram w. Belnap, chief in
spector of the safety APPLIANCE divi-
sion, was ordered to Kinmundy to
make thorough investigation and to
report in full at the earliest moment

Keep 1908 Pledges.

ers to be the keynote speech" on
which his coming campaign will be
fought to finish. \ He indicated his
willingness to fight on the tariff is
sue alone. Addressing $50 northern
Ohio Republicans grouped about the
tables at the Mckinley day banquet
given by the Tippecanoe club at the
chamber of commerce, President
Taft made a stirring appeal TO the
Republican party TO stand by its guns
and rest confident that it has carried
out the pledges it made to the people
OF the United States. He declared
that he faced the future with equa-
unity and IN the belief that the JUGS
ment of the country would prove him
right in his opinion.
The president defended the Payne
Aldrich tariff, while admitting Its
shortcomings; he justified his vetoes
of the Democratic revision bills at
the extra session and he made plea
for the continuance of the tariff board.
He also renewed his adherence to the
protective policy.
The president called attention to
the railroad bill, making the inter
state commerce law more effective
and creating the court of commerce.
He said it would be foolish and futile
to abolish this court because 1t has
reversed the interstate commerce
commission. He also commended the
safety appliance legislation of the last
congress.
As for the enforcement of the anti
trust law the president said:
The laws have been enforced. The
interstate commerce law and the anti
trust law. Indictments have been
found and bills in equity have been
Med in cases that seemed to call for
governmental action, and they have
proceeded to Judgment in due course.

BIG MEN OF REVOLUTION
Lynch Law Invoked Against Leaders

Burning of Pedro Montero's Body
Prison Is Stormed.

Guayaquil, acknowledgements Eloy
Alfaro, Flavio Alfaro, Medardo Alfaro,
Manuel Serrano and Ulpiana Paez, all
prominent revolutionists, were lynched
by a mob which broke into the Quito
prison, despite the heavy guard sur
rounding it.
With the death of these men the
leading lights in Ecuador's latest revo-
luton have been snuffed out.
This revolution, although 1t had been
a long time brewing, began in reality
a few days following the sudden death
on December % last of Emilio Es-
trada.
The first of the drastic measures
taken by those who opposed the rev.
olution was carried into effect JanH-
airy rs at Guayaquil, when Gen. Pedro
Montero, who was proclaimed presi-
dent by the troops after the death of
Estrada, was shot and beheaded by a
mob, which later burned his body.
Eloy Alfaro and Generals Paez and
Montero were captured January % at
Guayaquil when government troops
under Gen. Leonidas Plaza forced the
revolutionists who held Guayaquil to
capitulate.
Flavio Alfaro had been wounded in a
battle a few days before the fall of
Guayaquil.
Medardo Alfaro &as captured on
January 25 as he arrived at Guaya-
quill on board a steamer with a body
of rebel troops.
Eloy Alfaro was proclaimed presi-
dent Of Ecuador by the populace in
January, 1906, after he had defeated
the government troops at Quito. In
October of the same year he was elect
ed provisional president by the na-
tlonal convention and held the office
of chief executive until 1911.
In that year Emilio Estrada ran for
the office with Flavio Alfaro as an OPP
ponent, and was elected by majority
Of over 100000 votes. Estrada was
then indicted into Office and retained
the chief executiveship until his death
last December.

TAFT GREETS DUKE.
CONNAUGHT MAKES BRIEF VISIT
TO WHITE HOUSE.
Troopers Conduct Royal Guest, VIVA
Later Dimes at British
Embassy.

notwithstanding duke of Con
naught, the first royal visitor to
Washington in many years, was re-
ceived By President Taft at the execu-
tive mansion and his call was re-
turned by the president at the British
embassy.
Escorted to the White House by
cavalry, received with all the honors
that flashing sabers, martial music
and ten aids could accord his royal
station, presented by the British am
bassador to the president of the
United States, the duke was then in
turn introduced by the president to
Mrs. Taft. All the women of the
cabinet circle, including Miss Taft,
were presented to the duke, but in
the case of the presidents wife, the
usual form of royal presentation was
reversed.
AS the president and the duke stood
chatting in the blue room it would
have been difficult for a stranger to
determine which was of royal blood
and which an American citizen.
The eight hours the duke spent in
Washington were marked by his ex-
change of calls with the president, a
dinner and reception at the British
embassy and a brief appearance at
the National Press club. The latter
occasion, at which he saw the Wash
ington correspondents of the news
papers of the country, was the only
affair except of a personal or purely
official character he has attended
since coming to the United States.

Says Bulletin.

Madison.-About one-half of the
counties of the state already have
taken advantage of the law passed
by the last legislature which enables
county boards of supervisors to adopt
the cash. system of paying highway
taxes. At recent county board meet

sition, according to the state high
way commission, was .aken by the

No Superiority Over Their

It would seem that the Romans,

the secret of success in things mill
rary when they called their armies

cised men.
During the middle ages it was the
custom of princes, and even or
wealthy burghers, to keep runners
who followed their carriages afoot
while the horses were going at full
gallop. Fast runners were In great
demand, and If parents wanted to
qualify their children for position
of that sort they began to train them
from the earliest childhood. making
them undergo a singular operation,
namely, the removal of the spleen,
which was supposed to have an infiu-
ence upon the vigor of the lungs.
From the town of Puebla, in Mexico,

Indian peddlers and hucksters, who
carry heavy baskets on their backs.
They frequently come from distance
of 10 or II miles, but make the whole
trip at sharp trot and without
single stop. Their children trot at
their sides, carrying small bundles or
bags, and thus learn their trade so
gradually that they hardly feel the
hardshlps of it.

day carried a calf around the arena
and gained in strength as tie calf

Mrs. Schultz had a considerable
amount of money home with her with
which to pay her taxes.
Mr.. Schultz, an invalid, slept in a
front room, ard he was found as if
asleep, with glass of milk, on which
he made his breakfast after his wife
left for her work in the morning,
standing beside him. The evidences
were that he had died without a
struggle.
Mrs. Schultz and the adopted son
were found in their rooms adjoining
the room in which the stove was
kept. The boy was grasping a post
or the bed, his position indicating
that he had tried to struggle from
his bed. The womans position also

order that deposits may be fully ex-
plored, it is necessary that the build
