A bill recently passed in the Legislature of Massachusetts for continuing the work of destroying the Gypsy moth, carried $150,000; and even this large appropriation was less by one-third than the army now in the field against that insect had asked for the next campaign. The story of this pest is a strange one. In 1869 Mr. Trouvelot, who had gone to Massachusetts from Paris, had taken with him some eggs of the Gypsy moth. These lay, one day, on a tray near an open window, and a breeze blew them out of doors. He recognized the mischief he had wrought, but his announcement of it created little excitement at the time, as the people of Medford, where he lived, knew nothing of this insect. And, indeed, little more was heard of it for the next ten years, while not until 1889, or twenty years after the escape, were the ravages of the moth such as to call for action by the State. At that time the worms had spread through thirty townships, ruining shade trees everywhere, and attacking also farm and garden crops. Accordingly, in 1890, Gov. Brackett called on the legislature for help, and that body authorized a commission for the purpose, and appropriated $25,000 for its work, which sum was doubled a few months later. But although this Gypsy Moth Board contained able men, and waged its war vigorously, the next legislature had also to expend $50,000, and others followed with still larger sums annually. Last year the actual expenditure was $120,000; and Mr. Fernald, the entomologist of the State Board of Agriculture, in his last report estimated that to exterminate the moth would require $200,000 a year for the next five years, or $1,000,000; then $100,000 a year for five years more; finally $15,000 a year for a third period of five years, making $1,575,000 in all. Supposing that then the moth should disappear, this cost, added to what has already been laid out, would exceed $2,000,000 apart, of course, from all losses of woodlands and crops caused by the insect. The labor had become so enormous that, at a former session of Congress, the General government was asked to contribute $40,000 to this object. But L. GUNTHER. PIONEER BOOT & SHOE MAKER. CHAS. S.

Ely's Cream Balm is the acknowledged cure for catarrh and contains no mercury nor any injurious drug. Prices, 50 cents. was $120,000; and Mr. Fernald, the entomologist of the State Board of Agriculture, in his last report estimated that to exterminate the moth would require $200,000 a year for the next five years, or $1,000,000; then $100,000 a year for five years more; finally $15,000 a year for a third period of five years, making $1,575,000 in all. Supposing that then the moth should disappear, this cost, added to what has already been laid out, would exceed $2,000,000 apart, of course, from all losses of woodlands and crops caused by the insect. The labor had become so enormous that, at a former session of Congress, the General government was asked to contribute $40,000 to this object. But just at that time the West was also calling for national aid to extirpate the Russian thistle, and Congress wisely decided not to create the precedent which would be involved in taking part in these local crusades. Massachusetts is therefore left to carry on the war alone, and she is doing it with her accustomed vigor. It may therefore be hoped that, some time in the twentieth century, after the expenditure of a couple of millions or more, the ravages wrought by a puff of wind thirty years ago will have come to an end.

Atkins & Co., Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "I have never before given a testimonial in my life. But I will say that for three years we have never been without Chamberlain's Colie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, and my wife would as soon think of being without flour as a bottle of this Remedy in the summer season.

The loss was $150,000. The Stockton savings and loan society has brought suit against the county of San Joaquin to recover the sum $2569.51 paid the county treasurer taxes. The money was paid by the bank under protest, and is the tax itinerarily fixed by the assessor. The bank claims that the assessor had legal authority to ignore the tax statement handed in by it, which was on a fifth as large as the one arbitrarily made. A rumor was circulated in Guanajuco, near Havana, that General F. Hugh Lee, the United States congressman, was going to distribute more to the people. In consequence about 600 persons gathered in anticipation receiving relief. They were advised by the police that there was no truth in the rumor, and were ordered to perse. The crowds refused to dispense them by force. W. E. Gill, son of W. M.

General Garcia's Men Rout Two Columns of Spanish Composed Five Thousands Soldiers. NEW YORK, May 28. About eight days ago Spanish battalions of Alcan-tara and Andalusia combined for the purpose of conveying a supply train to Bayamo. The Spanish garrison at that place is in great distress, because all provisions sent to it since the month of March have fallen into the hands of Cubans. The two battalions named above, under instructions from General Linares, united with some of the local Spanish guerrillas around Manzanillo, making a total of 5,000 men. With this force and three cannon the Spaniards believed that they could safely reach Bayamo with supplies and return to Manzanillo. The enterprise, in spite of all these hopes, was as great a failure as previous ones, and gave General Garcia one of the most brilliant victories of his military career. About half way on the route the Spaniards had to follow Garcia placed his infantry, strongly fortified in intrenchments and protected by cavalry on both flanks. The Spaniards tried to pass but were trapped. FELONS MUTINY. Open Outbreak Among the Convicts at San Quentin Prison. SAN FRANCISCO. May 30. "Shoot the first man who breaks out of his cell,"—that was the order to the guards at San Quentin to-night. The prisoners were shrieking like maniacs, and rattling and pounding on the iron doors of their cells. The guards were doubled, and each carried a shotgun loaded with buck-shot. Two men, who were released to-day, their terms having expired, told what the desperate convicts are planning. It has been agreed among the ring-leaders that when they are permitted to return to work in the jute mill they will make a sudden rush, kill Engineer Young, if necessary, overpower the guards, and completely wreck the magnificent plant, on which an enormous amount of money, said to be nearly $1,000,000, has been spent. The machinery is of such a nature that it could very soon be damaged and practically destroyed, but the convicts are worked up to such a pitch that they would stop at nothing. There are 1,364 prisoners within the walls at San Quentin. Over half of them are in open revolt. Many of the others sympathize with the violent ones. Gov. Budd telephoned to Warden Hale requesting advice as to the exact situation at the prison. The Governor was anxious to know if there was any danger of a jail-break. The warden replied that the situation was improving, and informed the Governer that the men were safely locked up, and that in his judgment there was not the slightest chance for a single prisoner to escape. Gov. Budd did not make any suggestions as to what course the warden should pursue, and left everything with Hale, telling him that he would back him to the end, but would send milli- if necessary. The warden says that all the complaints made by the men are trivial. Director Wilkins declares that they have no real grievance. Prison Surgeon Lawler says that the opium fiends who have been deprived of the drug are at the bottom of the trouble. At 8 o'clock Sunday evening a spring wagon driven by Henry Marsau, a carpenter, at Denver, and containing eight children, ranging in age from 3 to 9 years, was struck by a special train on Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, and four of the children were killed and the others are terribly injured, two so badly that they will die. Marsau, with his three children, had been spending the day at the home of Christopher Schoneweiss, in the southern portion of the city. When ready to start for home he took a load of children gathered up in the neighborhood for a short ride. It is claimed by the police that Marsau was intoxicated and paid no attention to the signals of the engineer, but drove upon the track while the train was in plain sight, and but a few feet away. The engine struck the wagon, demolishing it and crushing and mangling the children in a horrible manner. A pitiful calamity occurred at Biloxi, Miss., when Mr. and Mrs. Lodmer left their home to visit some neighbors. Their two boys, aged 8 and 13, were locked up in a room in the upper story. In some way the house caught fire, and as soon as the fire was well started the boys began to scream and tried to beat down the door in order to bring disrepute upon the camp. W. E. Gill, son of W. M. Gill, Fresno, populist leader and editor, hated a marvelous escape from death near Randsburg in a mining accident at which both eyes were blown out after his face horribly disfigured. He was recover but will be totally blind. The accident happened at the foot of seventy-foot shaft, and was caused by drill striking a dynamite load that he not exploded. He was taken to his home in Fresno. Frank Lucek, a farmer living near Duluth, Minn., was thawing some danamite to be used in clearing land stumps. He was heating it over a fire when it exploded, tearing the house at most to pieces, and killing him and his two young sons. His wife and another small son escaped alive, but are badly hurt. What remained of the house caught fire and was destroyed. The decision of the Supreme Court in rendering void the clause of the County Fee Act providing for the collection of $1 for each $1000 of an estimate in probate when over and above $300 is likely to result in serious complications. Many thousands of dollars have been collected by the County Clerk at San Francisco and it is now a question whether the estates which have been forced under the new law to pay fees cannot recover the various sums collected. The loss to that city is estimated at $30.000 annually. The recent fiesta at Prietas, in Sorao, closed Saturday night, leaving quite a lengthy aftermath of tragedies. One man who had lost all his money by the gambling table committed suicide by blowing out his brains, using crowded restaurant at meal time for the scene of his departure. Another cut his throat in a drinking saloon. Two others who had won considerable money were waived on their home; shot dead and robbed. Another similar tragedy occurred near the reservoir at La Colorado mill, and another robbery and murder was committed near the cyanide tanks below the mill. Three lovers fought, and two of them were killed. All of the victims were "paisanos." James G. Blaine Jr., son of the late Secretary of State, is being treated at the Keeley Institute at White Plains N.Y. Young Blaine of late has been going from bad to worse. His dissipation has been so extensive and his excesses so great that his friends have found it absolutely necessary to have him confined. His drinking greatly increased after the divorce was granted his wife some years ago. At that time she alleged that his habits were so bad that she could live with him no longer After the divorce was granted her wife made all her preparations to go on the stage She had a flattering offer and was ready to fill the engagement when a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism set in and for many months her life was despaired of Dr. Bull; her physician became very much attached to his patient and after her recovery married her They are living in New York now and have a well-established social position. The president has added another member to the special embassy which will attend the sixtieth celebration of the accession of Queen Victoria to the British throne, in person of Ogden Mills of New York. Mr. Mills goes into capacity of secretary and attaches to the American embassy. The committees for the representatives will be beautifully engraved, and altogether the occasion is specified in every corner had become so enormous mer session of Congress, government was asked to 10,000 to this object. But time the West was also national aid to extirpate whistle, and Congress wisetell, to create the precedent be involved in taking part crusades.

With this force and three cannon the Spaniards believed that they could safely reach Bayamo with supplies and return to Manzanilo. The enterprise, in spite of all these hopes, was as great a failure as previous ones, and gave General Garcia one of the most brilliant victories of his military career. About half way on the route the Spaniards had to follow Garcia placed his infantry, strongly fortified in intrenchments and protected by cavalry on both flanks. The Spaniards tried to pass, but were twice repulsed, and when the Cuban cavalry entered the fight the two Spanish battalions were routed, abandoned the supplies and sought refuge on the other side of the river Buey. In the battle the Spaniards lost 226 soldiers dead and wounded, all left on the field. Many officers were also killed. The Cubans pursued the fugitive Spaniards and at the Ford in the river killed many more. Others were drowned on account of the panic among the soldiers when they reached the bank of the Buey. While this defeat of his two battalions was taking place at the Buey river General Linares himself suffered another reverse in trying to cross the Cauto river. His vanguard, reconnoitering the river, met with a strong body of insurgents. General Linares retired with three officers and twelve soldiers killed and six officers and twenty soldiers wounded. Another convoy from Felicidad to Yateras also fell, in large part, into the hands of the insurgents. After two hours' fighting the Spaniards retired to Felicidad, leaving on the field the most valuable part of the convoy. HAVANA (Cuba), via Key West, May 29.-Details have been received here of an engagement at La Reforma, Sancti Spiritus, between the Spaniards commanded by Gen. Weyler, and the Cubans, led by Gen. Gomez. The battle was fought early last week, and it was the result of Weyler's scheme to crush Gomez by surrounding him with 20,000 men. The plan failed and the battle was reported here as an ordinary Spanish victory without details. It was the first time during the war that Weyler and Gomez have faced each other. Gen. Gomez placing his men in the best strategic position, awaited Gen. Weyler and for six hours held him in check, although the Cubans scarcely numbered 1000 men. Gomez ordered his best shots to pursue the Spanish general, but the latter never came to the front. When two fresh Spanish columns came up, Gomez retired and the Spanish abandoned the field. A pitiful calamity occurred at Biloxi, Miss., when Mr. and Mrs. Loderm left their home to visit some neighbors. Their two boys, aged 8 and 13, were locked up in a room in the upper story. In some way the house caught fire, and as soon as the fire was well started the boys began to scream and tried to beat down the door in order to get out. The father and mother, who had not yet started on their trip, heard them screaming. They rushed to the house and used every means in their power to save the little fellows, but in vain, as the flames spread so rapidly that it was impossible for any one to enter the building. The parents had to endure the sight of seeing their children burned to death. Theodore Durrant will hang on June 11, one week from to-morrow. Gov. Budd Sunday evening telephoned that much in effect to Warden Hale of San Quentin, at the same time ordering the death watch placed upon the prisoner. Immediately after telephoning the message the Governor was driven in a closed hack to the depot, where he took the train for San Francisco. Durrant made the declaration that if he must meet his fate on the gallows, he will die like a man. The mere suggestion of suicide is repulsive to him, he says. He also declares that he will die in the presence of his parents, who will insist on attending the execution as his invited guests. The elder Durrant says that his wife is a woman of determination, and she will press her legal rights to the limit. Under the law Warden Hale cannot deny her admission if she presents at the prison an invitation of her son requesting her presence at the hanging. "There’s no use in talking," says W. H. Broadwell, druggist, La Cygne, Kas., "Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy does the work. After taking medicines of my own preparation and those of others, I took a dose of Chamberlain’s and it helped me; and a second dose cured me. candidly and conscientiously I can recommend it as the best things on the market."

The president has added another member to the special embassy which will attend the sixtieth celebration of the accession of Queen Victoria to the British throne, in person of Ogden Mills of New York. Mr. Mills goes back to the capacity of secretary and attaches to the American embassy. The commissions for the representatives will be beautifully engraved, and altogether so far as the state department is concerned. Whitelaw Reid bears the title of special ambassador on a special mission as the representative of the president, and General Miles and Admiral Miller, will have special commissiones. The ambassador himself will carry for presentation in person to the queen letter from the president, which is general terms, will be similar to that addressed to her upon the occasion of her jubilee celebration ten years ago. It is formal, yet kindly, in tone, and expresses the appreciation of the president of the great good that has followed long reign of her majesty and hope for a continuance of her health. A woman who arrived at the National Exchange hotel at Nevada City, Calif., at 10 o’clock Wednesday night and registered as Mrs. Frances Zeitler, San Francisco, was found early on morning hanging by the neck in a woodshed at the rear of the hotel. She had been dead several hours. The cord around neck was attached to a nail foot above the head, and the body was in a crouching posture. The skull was fractured; several pools of blood were on the ground a few feet from the body, and there were marks on the ground indicating that the body had been dragged to where it was found. Some sticks of wood near by were discolored with blood. The woman is unknown in the place. She was of medium height, thick-set, about 40 had dark hair, sprinkled with gray dark blue eyes, wore a plain black dress and had false teeth. LATER: The body was identified as noon by George Gehrlg, a brewer, at that of his wife. She left home Wednesday at 7 o’clock, and then husband’s effort to find her had been unavailing. She sent a letter, written in German, to the Daily Transcript saying that virtue and honesty are their noblest qualities of mankind, and charge her husband with being false to her Gehrig and their neighbors say she has been acting queerly for some time and they believe she was insane. She leaves six children. The case continues to be wrapped in mystery. The remains were Gazette. 1897.

The officers are conducting the investigation on the theory that the woman was beaten and then hung by an assailant. The Coroner’s jury returned a verdict of suicide. A meeting of farmers from various parts of the State was held in, San Francisco Friday morning for the purpose of considering ways and means to secure the establishment of a free market on the city front. The meeting organized by the election of G. W. Worthen of San Jose President, and D. T. Fowler of Fresno Secretary. The latter made a short address in which he referred to the bill passed by the last legislature for the establishment of such a market. A. T. Dewey of Tu-lare moved that permanent officers be elected, but this motion led to heated debate, the Farmers’ club of San Francisco, which took the initiative in the matter, claiming that such action was unnecessary. A bicycle funeral is the latest thing in Elizabeth, N. J. Mrs. Jane Rea, aged 54, wife of Thomas Rea of that city, died Tuesday and was buried the next afternoon. The mourners, men and women, followed the hearse on bicycles from the house to the church where the funeral services were held, and after they were ended the mourners again mounted their wheels and slowly rode after the body to the cemetery, three miles distant, where the interment took place. The unique spectacle attracted much attention as the cortegge silently wended its way through the city. This is probably the first instance on record where a corpse has been escorted to its last resting place by a procession of bicycle riders. Millionaire E. J. Baldwin had a bad scare in San Francisco on Friday when he was caught napping by his nemesis, Emma Ashley. He was sitting in the office of the Baldwin hotel reading a newspaper, when Miss Ashley, who happened to be passing, suddenly presented herself and asked him to buy a ticket for his little daughter’s benefit. The dream so impressed itself upon his mind that he spoke of it to his family and friends. They all scoffed at it, but on Sunday evening when time came to ring the bell he stood away from his accustomed place when ringing the bell. The clapper fell with terrible force, but as he had prepared himself for it no injury resulted to him. If he had stood in his accustomed position nothing short of a miracle could have saved him from death. William Chapman and A. Zimmerman have returned to Duluth, Minn., from the Barbadoes, whither they went last winter in search of a treasure alleged to have been buried there in 1847 and 1848 by Simms, the pirate. The trip was fruitless, for the reason that they could not buy the land where the money is buried, nor did they have an opportunity to dig for it secretly. Another expedition is being planned. Chapman claims to have been a member of the pirate crew of Simms, and says that one barrel of gold and two of silver were buried on the island. This is the second expedition from Duluth in quest of this treasure, and both were led by Chapman. The same difficulties were experienced in each case. Frederick Markley, a leading citizen of Church, Mich., lost his voice when a boy. He spent a fortune in an effort to regain his speech and finally abandoned medical science and trusted wholly to the efficacy of prayer for relief. Last week a miracle was apparently wrought, the power of speech returning to Markley as mysteriously as it left him nearly half a century ago. Markley attributes the recovery of his voice to Divine interposition. He is upward of 65 years old and is so elated over the recovery of the power of speech that he talks constantly. His friends fear his great joy will dethrone his reason. While Justice Hart was sitting in his office in Cleveland late one afternoon last week he was roused from his meditation by a ripple of laughter at his office door. A company of three young ladies and an elderly gentleman entered. The girls each wore a neat bicycle suit with short skirts and a cap. One of the merry women G. Gill, son of W. M.

He was sitting in the office of the Baldwin hotel reading a newspaper, when Miss Ashley, who happened to be passing, suddenly presented herself and asked him to buy a ticket for his little daughter's benefit. The millionaire dropped his paper and nervously waved her away. The young woman, who carried the same bag from which she drew a pistol in Judge Slack's court room one eventful morning last year and took a shot at Baldwin, was not to be denied, however, and expressed her disgust that she should be compelled to sell tickets for the support of the child. She finally was induced to leave, but assured Baldwin she would call again in the near future. Silver bullion sold some days ago in New York at 60 cents per ounce, the lowest point it has ever touched, except for a short period in 1894, when it sold at 58 cents. Paris has been fairly alive with South American dollars which have been sold on that side as low as two francs, twenty-two centimes for the dollar. The price of silver in the Indian bazars has fallen to 76 rupees, the lowest price on record. The exchange between London and Shanghai has also fallen to almost the lowest, and even at that low rate China does not absorb a large quantity of silver. Dating from the declaration by Japan of its intention to abandon the use of silver as a standard coinage and go upon a gold basis, the price of the white metal has been steadily declining. Ever since Elysian Park, in Los Angeles was set aside for a public pleasure ground, each passing year brings to the surface some recommendation of individuals who desire to dig holes in the ground within the limits of the park. Such desire is invariably the result of a perennial rumor to the effect that untold wealth in the shape of gold lies buried there. Three young men, carrying out this idea, last week appeared with the following communication to the Park Commissioners: "The undersigned, respectable taxpaying citizens of Los Angeles, respectfully request permission to dig for a buried treasure, said to be located in one of the canyons of Elysian Park." The board decided that it would be inadvisable to grant the request. The hidden treasure is supposed to have been buried more than half a century ago by an old Mexican. Details have been received from Odessa of the sell-immolation of a number of the fanatical followers of Baskel Niki, a report of which was first received two weeks ago. More than twenty-four bodies of persons who were buried alive have been recovered from a series of pits near Tirespol. The sect is a survival of the old dissenters who were persecuted in Russia for two centuries. Their treatment was worse under Empress Sophia, when a thousand of them were knotted by the State. The result was that they became fiercely fanatical and invented the doctrine of salvation by martyrdom. They are now practising self-immolation; Six bodies were accidentally discovered on the premises of Theodore Kovalev, who confessed that he had walled up in his cellar nine liv- ently wrought, the power of speech returning to Markley as mysteriously as it left him nearly half a century ago.

His friends fear his great joy will dethrone his reason. While Justice Hart was sitting in his office in Cleveland late one afternoon last week he was roused from his meditation by a ripple of laughter at his office door. A company of three young ladies and an elderly gentleman entered. The girls each wore a neat bicycle suit with short skirts and a cap. One of the merry wheelwomen announced that she desired to be launched on the sea of matrimony and to have her name changed from Miss Martha Elber to Mrs. Charles T. Wilkes. The justice looked out of the door for the would-be groom, but the young lady pointed to the elderly gentleman. The bicycle bride was about seventeen years old, while the groom appeared to be forty years her senior. The bicycle bridesmaids giggled, the bicycle bride blushed and the old gentleman looked serious, while the justice performed the ceremony. An act of the Legislature of 1893 created the county of Kings out of a portion of Tulare. At that time there were bonds outstanding against Tulare for the construction of a courthouse in the amount of $22,000 and $5000 road bonds. The act creating the new county did not provide for the reinbursement to the old county for the proportionate share of the new county's indebtedness, but Tulare presented a demand to Kings for $5049, the proportionate share of the latter for the bonds. This was refused payment by the new county, and action being brought, the lower court sustained a demurrer to the complaint, holding that Tulare had no cause of action. The Supreme Court last week affirmed the judgment. The fatal omission was that ofthe Legislature in not providing a way to collect the proportionate share of the bonded indebtedness. A romance in the life of the late Gen.W.H. Dimond of San Francisco was revealed by a lawsuit in United States Circuit Court in that city other day. A claim to his life insurance was the means of introducing the affair to public notice. Mrs.Theresa A.Bell, a widow, attempted to tell the particulars of her engagement to marry the deceased merchant but was prevented by a legal objection. Gen.Dimond on May 31, 1891, took out a policy for $10,000. On June 8th he assigned it to Mrs.Abell. The policy remained in Mrs.Abell's name until November 19, 1895, when Dimond made a second assignment, this time to his estate. After Dimond's death, the Union Trust Company, as executor of the estate, put in a claim on the insurance company for the payment of the policy, and Mrs.Abell did likewise. For the purpose of ascertaining to whom the money is due, the company brought suit against both parties, and will now let them settle the question. The Supreme Court has rendered an interesting decision relative to the rights of citizens while in their own homes. The opinion was in case of Frank A.Lewis, convicted of man-slaughter in Shasta some time ago Lewis was charged with killing his brother-in-law,Farrell by name.The two men had quarrelled and Farrell advanced threateningly with a singletree in his hand.Lewis picked up a rifle and fired.Lewis went to town and gave himself up,and Farrell's sister put him to bed and prepared bandages,pendingthe arrivalofa physician President has added another to the special embassy which led the sixtieth celebration of the sixteenth anniversary of Queen Victoria to the armenian, in the person of Ogden New York.

Man who arrived at the Nationwide hotel at Nevada City, Cal., clock Wednesday night and told Mrs. Frances Zeitler, San Francisco, was found early the next day changing by the neck in a cut at the rear of the hotel.

She sent a letter, written to the Daily Transcript, that virtue and honesty are the qualities of mankind, and charge-band with being false. And their neighbors say she has long queerly for some time and love she was insane. She leaves them. The case continues to be an mystery.

The result was that they became fiercely fanatical and invented the doctrine of salvation by martyrdom. They are now practising self-immolation; Six bodies were accidentally discovered on the premises of Theodore Kovaleff, who confessed that he had walled up in his cellar nine living persons, including his wife and two young children. He further admitted that he had buried the other six, while they were still alive, in a specially excavated pit eight feet deep. Kovaleff declares that all these were voluntary victims. In an adjoining garden, belonging to Naive Sukula, four bodies were discovered in a pit. Sukula says these were buried alive at their own request. A new treatment for lockjaw, or tetanus, has just been successfully tried at the German hospital in San Francisco under the direction of Dr. Conrad Weil. The case is exciting a great deal of interest in the medical profession and among the friends of the hospital, as it is the first experiment with this new treatment west of the Mississippi, and one of the very few experiments in this country. The patient who owes his life, as the physicians believe, to the new treatment, is Edmund Rhein, now about 23 years old, who received an injury to his thumb about a month ago. Doubt was entertained at first whether an amputation would not be necessary. This was avoided, but later symptoms of lockjaw began to develop. As the symptoms were not severe at first, the ordinary treatment with sedatives was tried. The patient grew steadily worse, and Dr. Well decided to try the new treatment. By this time the disease had extended so as to effect almost the entire nervous and muscular systems. Within 48 hours under the new treatment signs of improvement began, and at the end of a week Rhein was pronounced out of danger. Friday he said he felt no symptoms of the disease at all, only the weakness which was a natural sequence to the ordeal through which he had passed. The new treatment consists of injections of a tetanus anti-toxine, similar to its source to the anti-toxine of diphtheria. John Oliphant whose duty it has been to ring the bell at the Methodist church at Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, dreamed the clapper was going to fall and seriously if not fatally hurt him unless he took the precaution to protect himself. The Supreme Court has rendered an interesting decision relative to the rights of citizens while in their own homes. The opinion was in the case of Frank A. Lewis, convicted of manslaughter in Shasta some time ago. Lewis was charged with killing his brother-in-law, Farrell by name. The two men had quarrelled and Farrell advanced threateningly with a singletree in his hand. Lewis picked up a rifle and fired. Lewis went to town and gave himself up, and Farrell's sister put him to bed and prepared bandages, pending the arrival of a physician. While lying in bed Farrell cut his throat with a clasp knife. In instructing the jury in the case, the Judge said Lewis might have evaded murder had he retreated, and on this showing Lewis was convicted. The decision of the Supreme Court says that a man attacked in his own house is not called upon to retreat from any aggressor, even if the life of the aggressor is in the balance. On this point did the case of Lewis hinged, and a new trial was ordered. Quickly and almost unsuspected by the public an electrical enterprise has been maturing in Southern California which will be of great importance to the country. The mountain streams are to be harnessed and put to developing electricity. The Southern California Power Company has acquired valuable water power rights in the canyon of the Santa Ana river and is preparing to install a costly plant to turn the energy of the streams into electricity. The company believes that in Santa Ana canyon alone it will develop power which even in summer will not fall below 5000 horse-power. This will be transformed into electricity and conducted to Los Angeles, a distance of seventy-five miles. Already contracts have been made for a large proportion of this current, and it is expected that in a short time contracts will be signed for the whole. The Pasadena and Pacific Railway Company will operate its system thereby; the West Side Lighting Company of Los Angeles and the Pasadena Electric Light and Power Company have made contracts and the Los Angeles Railway Company is considering discontinuing the use of petroleum and using electricity. Other important developments are looked for. According to the newspapers, an Ohio husband became the happy father of seven children not long ago. Of these all lived but one. It is to be hoped he laid in a supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, the only sure cure for cough, wheoping-cough, colds and coughs, and so insured his children against these diseases.
