WARNINGS FOR FOURTH OF JULY Proper Precaution in Dressing Wounds Essential, Says Surgeon. Believing that neglect of proper pre cautions against tetanus in dressing wounds resulting from the celebration of the Fourth of July is responsible for many of the deaths which follow the holiday, Surgeon General Wyman of the Marine Hospital, has sent out a general warning in the Public Health Report. During the last five years there have been 786 cases of tetanus as the resalt of Fourth of July celebrations, of which 721 have died, a mortality of 92 per cent. Six hundred and eight, or 80 per cent of the cases resulted from blank cartridge wounds. The number of cases resulting from blank cartridge wounds has steadily decreased from 363 in 1903 to 52 in 1907, but the cases following other wounds have not fluctuated. This warrants the belief that, while wounds from blank cartridges are properly cared for, other hurts are not scientifi cally cared for. Cartridges lead in the number of cases of tetanus following the Fourth of July, with 608 in the last five years. Giant crackers come next, with 77, while cannon crackers come next with 21, firearms with 20 and pow der with 60. The warning, which was prepared by Past Assistant Surgeon John F. Ander son, gives this explanation of the origin and operation of the tetanus bacillus : "The bacillus of tetatus or its spore form, i3 found in earth, especially gar den earth, stable manure, the dust of the streets, stables and human habita tions. "When tetanus spores are introduced under the skin they at once germinate, if oxygen is excluded and begin to elab orate tetanus toxin. "Physicians often treat blank car tridge and other Fourth of July injuries unless of a serious character as trivial" says the warning, "contenting them selves with picking out the plainly seen pieces of wad, powder, etc. and apply ing a dressing. In a few days the pa tient returns with symptoms of tetanus and then, when it is too late, antitoxin is given, the wound is thoroughly cleaned out, and perhaps a piece of wad or clothing found in it. "It should be an invariable procedure that all Fourth of July wounds be laid fully open, under local or preferably general anaesthesia and all foreign ma terial and necrotic or badly injured tis sues removed, as the pressure of blood clots and necrotic tissue favor anaerobic conditions, which are essential for the development of the tetanus organism. After the wound has been thoroughly cleaned out it should be swabbed out with strong carbolic acid, at least 25 per cent, followed by a washing of 95 per cent alcohol to prevent further ac tion of the acid. Some surgeons use peroxide of hydrogen instead of carbolic acid. "After cauterization, by whatever methods used, the wound should be thoroughly washed out with a solution of bichloride of mercury and packed with gauze soaked in a saturated solu tion of salicylic or boric acid, and a large wet dressing of the same solution applied. In no case should the wound be closed, but it should be allowed to heal by granulation. The dressing and packing should be renewed every day." Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contains Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completly derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescrip tions from repntable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall' s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co , Toledo, O., con tains no mercury, and is taken internal ly, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surface of the system. In buy ing Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by Druggists. Price, 75c. per bottle.

A special from Nehawka under date of July 1, says: Congressman Pollard has received the following letter from the major general commandant of the United States Marine Corps: I have the honor to inform you that as a result of recent legislation there now exists in the United States Marine corps fifty-seven vacancies in the grade of second lieutenant. It is desired to fill these vacancies by the appointment of young men sound of a body in every particular, minimum height five feet six inches, and for this height weight not less than 132 pounds, of good moral standing in the community, and with such a degree of education that they can mentally fill the requirements. This letter is written because so many young men have failed to come up to the required standard that it is difficult to fill the vacancies. If you have, in your district, a young man of sufficient education to prepare himself mentally b October 15, 1908, and will have him write to this office, we will gladly put ourselves in communication with him, and if it is thought that he can pass the examination successfully, we will use every endeavor with the secretary of the navy to have him receive permis sion to be examined for appointment as a second lieutenant in the corps. In County Court. County Judge Beeson today is engaged in hearing a case, the parties to which live in the west end of the county, and the case one that involved a number of fine legal points raised by both sides to the suit. The title of the case is Ven ner vs. Waldron, and the case started originally as a suit on book account. To the petition the defendants filed an answer, pleading the statute of limita tions and also denying the account. Various other pleadings were filed in the case, an amended reply of the plaintiff setting out the execution of a promissory note executed by the de fendants in settlement of the book ac count atd on which judgment is asked. The defendants filed a motion to strike out that portion of the reply which set up the promissory note as changing the cause of action. Among other interest ing and technical questions raised was one by counsel for the plaintiff, that the pleading of the statute of limita tions amounted to an admission of the debt sued upon. This and other ques tions is under consideration by the court at the hour of going to press. Ramsey & Ramsey appear for the plaintiff, and R. D. Stearns of Lincoln, is present, representing the defendants. Attacked by a Dog R. I. Complon has been suffering severely from a dog bite, but is getting along nicely at present. He was helping W. W. Carter, last Thursday, and he went over to George Woods for some thing. Mr. Woods has a dog that has one sociable side, and one side that ap pears to be unfriendly. It is thought that Mr. Compton got on the wrong side, and could not make friends with his dog-ship. The dog bit him on one leg, on the thumb, and grabbed him on the other leg clinching his watch. The wound on his left leg was a bad one and caused him much pain, as well as worry fearing the animal might be mad, but no signs of rabies have appeared. Weeping Water Republican. For Sale!

District Court. - District .Judge Travis held a short session of court this morning, at which several motions were disposed of, after which court was adjourned until to morrow morning at 10 o'clock. In the case of Whelan vs City the motion of the defendant to strike out the words "fifth" (stricken out by order of the court) was sustained because paragraph five of the petition was not stricken out by the court. Plaintiff is required to insert said paragraph five in his last amended petition after the word fifth on 1st page of amended petition filed Junse 24. Second, the words "seventh" out by order f the court) are to be stricken from the petition, as the seventh paragraph of the amended peti tion contained no material allegations of fact but simply evidences Plaintiff ex cepts. Third, the petition contained only one cause of action and that part of the motion which asks that the plain tiff consecutively numer his causes of action is overruled.

Kelley, of Mansfield, Pa., writes: "I was in poor health for two years, suffering from kidney and blad der trouble, and spent considerable money consulting physicians without obtaining any marked benefit, but was cured by Foley's Kidney Cure, and I desire to add my testimony that it may be the cause of restoring the health of others." Refuse substitutes. Quite a Loss From High Water Chris Gauer came in this morning from Cedar Creek and reports the rain of Saturday night as the worst in all his many years experience in Cass coun ty. The water was higher than he ever saw it before, being almost to a man's head in places. He was a severe sufferer from the waters, losing two loads of fine, fat hogs, which he had ready for the markat, besides losing eight head of fine cattle. Mr. Gauer's misfortune is to be greatly regretted as he is one of Cass county's best men, and a man who has earned better fortune than this by his industry and steady attention to business. Depart for Home Oscar Christinsen and wife who have been in the city for a number of days past, th guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Schmidtmann, departed for their home at Manitowoc, Wis., today going by way of Omaha. They were greatly pleased with their visit to this city and more than delighted to get to see Mr. Chrisitnsen's long time friend, Mr. Schmidtmann, who regretted their in ability to stay with him until after our Fourth of July celebration at least. 0 Q DOC 3QC 3RAT lH D 0 Help make Plattsmouth lively and awake by whooping- her up ON THE FOURTH Buy where you can get good fresh and reasonable priced FIREWORKS WE'VE GOT THE GOODS!
