The fusion scheme Is boimr worked for all
it Is worth around the independent head
quarters , and the Llmlell hotel soothes with
HIP busy , bustling , bur/Ing ciowd. All
that the proiwsed plan gives the
independents to hope for Is a
senator and the organisation , with no pros
pects of any assistance in enacting dcshed
legislation. Some of them are ellsposed to
bold oft for this reason , but the piessuroof

The Chouteau Cjinvassing boanl has not ye

At a mooting of the populists held las
night Keprescnt.itho Bcccher , ono of tin e

to that effect A. Livingston , the dome

weeks is In impiovc-d health and will b
taken to the house on a cot.
At a late hour tonight It was rumoiod th i
the iepiiblleans would apply to the snpicm

could not lind elsou hero the comfoits of his

much averse to being icmoved
Sick as Mr. Blaine Is , bo still exhibits
much of that wonderful willpower and norxe

Oablo Special to Tun BKH , ] The Herald's
IwUiopcan edition today piibllHhc.s in its
weekly article , "What the Doctor Sny , "
two facts likely to maken stir In the medical
woild. The first is an explanation of a now
tn-atment for nervous diseases by injecting
beneath tlio aUiu a solution of phosphate of
soi.a , which , Iu this way , Is not modified by
passing tinougb the digestive tract , but Is
taken up in its oiiginal form and acts di-
lectl ) on Iho norv ous f i stem , npoitlon of tbo
organism for which It has the gicatcat
aflliilty. M Albeit Kobln uses a solution of
Iho giammes of phosiihale of t.'ida In 100
grammes of steill/cd distilled water , This'
piithely now method Is romaikablo for Its
plmpllelty and hannlcssncss inul Is wmthy or

The HPcond fact Is the icsc.nchcs of na
nngllsh phyalclan , Mr , Mapother , on the ln
fluenco of food on JialdnesN Since hair eon-
tains not less than 5 per lout of sulphur , ane\ \
when gray 'M per tent of silica and 10 pay

two of the forms of food that no.irly ovcry
one takes e-acb day , beef and milk , have by
tilth chemical composition the cffoi-t of an
nihilating thpso iiiiinoiill.il elements of hair
and wltheilng It at the loots. Mr Mapother
thinks thai dlffcieiit albiimenold foods ,
Hlmrhy substances , p.n tlculnily durlc
