The ball given at the opera house last evening by the Ladies' Auxiliary to the B. of L. E., proved a very pleasant event to attendants.

The auxiliarj, however, succeeded in obtaining a neat sum from their efforts. Refreshments were served in the hall prior to and during the dance. Young prairie chickens are re ported very plentiful this season, and it the "stubble duck" hunters are not too numerous there will be fine shooting rext fall. The Tri bune is of the opinion that every man who violates the game law should be promptly jerked to justice whether he be of high or low estate, and it would advise the farmers to file complaint against all who shoot prairie chickens out of season. The same law should be entorced. as strictly as other laws. The last of the Christian En deavor excursion trains passed through the city Saturday evening. During the rush the Union Pacific hauled twenty-six actual extra passenger trains, or a total of 242 extra cars.

If all trains had come in singly with eight cars about the usual train for eastern roads there would have been thirty instead ot twenty-six trains. In the twenty-six trains there were about eight thousand passengers. like anew Chamber Stlit f fecfes WOR TEN DOLLARS? I presume yon would.

NOTED BACTERIOLOGIST'S EXPERI MENTS WITH ANTITOXINS. Cho Bacteria of I.ockjnw Abundant, bnt They Cannot Propagate In the Presence of Oxygen Gratifying Itcsnlts Obtained by the Use of the New Remedy. Dr. Hopkins of tho Cleveland Medical college, and one of the world's noted bacteriologists, recently performed a nojtablo experiment. A rabbit afflicted with lockjaw in its worst phase and in immiuent danger of dyiug was enred by the doctor by one injection of lockjaw antitoxine. As a rabbit has a less degree of vital ity tbau a rnau has and as its system is less susceptible to changes it is believed that a person afllicted with lockjaw can be enred more easily than the rabbit was. Tho use of lockjaw antitoxino was attempted at the New York Pasteur in stitute some time ago, but its applica tion was not marked with success. Dr. Hopkins in au iuterview had this to say of his remarkable experiments: "Lockjaw, or, as it is techuically known, tetanus, is ouc of tho most fatal diseases known to medicine. In fact, it is almost invariably fatal. Tho causo of tho affection was unknown until, in 1884, Nicolaier fouud the germ which produced it in gardcu earth. The germs were especially abuudant iu manured soil, and this led to the supposition that theso organisms had their origin in the intestines of horses. Bnt this theory was quickly disproved by Le Dentre, who fouud the germs existing in abun dance iu the New Hebrides islauds, where there were no horses. In these is lands the natives were accustomed to poison their arrows by thrnstiug them in soil rich in these germs. Tho disease is usually contracted through wounds from rusty nails, etc., which have been in such soil aud aro cov ered by the germs, or it may come from direct coutact between au abraded skin Burface and carthcoutaining tho germs. One of the characteristics of these bac teria, aud a fortuuate one, is that they cauuot propagate iu the presence of oxy gen. Were it uot for this fact the dis easo would certaiuly be much more common. So virulent aro theso organ isms that five-one-millionths of a centi meter taken from a culture four weeks old would kill a mouse in a few hours. So rapid is tho progress of the discaso that if the point of inoculation wcro cauterized aud the germs then present at that point thereby destroyed au hour after the iuocnlatiou the result would bo unchanged. Iu tho hopo of curing this much dreaded disease Behriug and Kilatalo havo devised an autitoxiue similar in prcparatiou and application to the autitoxiue for diphtheria, aud un der its use tho diseaso has lost much of its horror. "Among the first to investigate aloug this lino in this country was Dr. George W. Hopkins, bacteriologist to the Cleve land .Medical college. Dr. Hopkins se cured a strong, vigorous goat and inject ed iuto it at first one-oue-milliouth of a drop of a culture of tetauus germs. The injections were continued in constantly increasing doses for four mouths, tho last dose beiug five drops of a most viru lent culture, and at the end of this timo the animal's jngnlar vein was opened and two quarts of rich red blood were extracted. This was allowed to coagu late aud then thesemm which had been squeezed out of the clot was removed. This possessed the curativo properties, and with it mauy experiments were performed. Rabbits, guinea pig3 and dogs were inoculated with tho disease, and when it had assumed an apparently fatal form a few drops of the antitoxino serum were iutroduced under tho ani mal's skin aud this procedure was inva riably followed by muscular relaxation aud general improvement in a few hours and complete recovery as a rulo inside of 24 hours. It was later tried upou horses suffering from lockjaw with equally gratifying results aud lastly in cases iu men, with complete recovery in all but a few cases which were not seen until the patients were moribund." Exchange. A Bride Jnsnps From a Balloon. William Robertson, an employee of the Wild We:t show, recently exhibit ing at Chattanooga, was married tho other day to Cynthia Kcnna of Hill City, a suburb of Chattanooga. The ceremony took place in the car of a bal loon, and as soon as the words were pronounced making the couplo man and wife tho ropes were cut aud they start ed on a bridal tour through midair. When tho balloon was about 150 feet up, tho bride became frightened and jumped, landing in the Tennessee river. She was rescued by men in boats. The bridegroom staid in tho balloon until a height of probably 1,000 feet had been reached, when he safely, de scended in a parachute.-t-',:v Si. (fl iti ti w & m itif ft iff & l i i The probate notices published by Tin-: Tribune aggregate from thirty to fifty dollars per year, and full legal rates are charged there fore. If this class of work amounted to $1,200 or $1,500 per year, as does the county publishing, The Tri bune would do it for less than the legal rate. The editor ot the Era does not seem to understand the amount of work to be performed cuts a figure on the price. A grocer will sell one thousand pounds of coffee at a less rate per pound than he would a single pound; a teamster will haul five hundred loads of dirt at a less figure per load than he would if he were en gaged to haul but five loads. This is one of the principles of business. - S. J. Koch, who is in from Nowell precinct to-day sa3's he will begin cutting and shipping new hay next week.
