placed an ice water tank in the

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 number present was not as
large as was expected, due largely
to the fact that many young peo
ple who nttend dances were out of
town. 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. In some cases double
headers were used on certain sec
tions that Lad more cars than one
ensrine could handle. 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.

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."

The probate notices published by

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
