The city election is liable to surprise someone. With
but two wards voting anything except city marshal
the vote will probably be unusually light This will mean
that the candidates will be neglected by their friends
This was what happened in the primaries far as the
democratic ticket was concerned No one took any in

senatorship and as between Pierce and Starkweaher
most of the democratic votors felt that the former

for justices of the peace in the several precincts In con-

doubly uncertain. One candidate with good machine
behind him can generally win easily though he is
not strong with the people, for the reason that his work
ers get the vote favorable to him out while the candidate
depending on his friends will find nine times out of ten
that unless some really big issue is at stake, they will
stay at home relying on the balance of the candidates

Wthycombe was case of this kind. With five candl-
dates in the running it was made still easier for well
managed minority to win, and the selection of the gov

The vote which made him winner was only about ID or
is per cent of the party vote The Wthycombe followers
were vigorous in getting all his supporters to the polls
and the fact that he received then only small per-
centage of the party vote shows he not especially strong

Malarial Poisoning No. 2.
By ANDREW F. CURRIER, MD.

In some individuals, pldsmodiG
are comparatively inactive, but may
be reproduced for a long time.
This occurs in those who have
recurring attacks of malarial fever
without new mosquito infection.
Should all the pldSmodid die or
be killed by suitable measures, the
patient would then get well.
From the time one is bitten until
the appearance of the customary
symptoms, is usually from six to
fourteen days.
The tertian, or tertian ague, is
the commonest form of malarial
fever and appears every two days.
The first stage, or chill, is pre-
ceded by nausea and vomiting,
headache, backache, and general
discomfort.
The body shakes, the teeth chat
ter, the pulse is rapid and irregu-
lar, the temperature is high though
the skin is cold, and there is a cop
ious flow of urine.
After ten minutes to an hour,
of this misery, there comes a sen.
sation of intense, burning, consum-
ing heat, headache, rapid pulse,
redness Of the skin and sometimes

Then follows profuse sweating.
lower temperature, feeble pulse, ex.
haustion and sleep.
In two days this experience is re-
peated, a new crop of parasites hav-
ing developed in the meantime and
produced their customary results.
The other forms of malarial fever
have the same symptoms as the
tertian with the exception Of the
latent, sometimes known as dumb
ague, in which the symptoms lack
definiteness.
Maiarial fever may be compli-
Gated with neuralgia, apoplexy, in
sanity, bronchitis, pneumonia and
diseases Of the heart, liver, lungs
and intestines.
The spleen and liver may be en-
larged and softened and there may
be pain in the ears, deafness and
impaired vision.
