A. M. Hutchlnson , chairman of the popu
list county central committee , says the ma
jority of the people's party In Pottawat-
tamlc county Is strongly opposed to fusion
In any shape , manner or form , and that it
repudiates the action of the so-called popu
list 'convention presided over by Weaver
at DCS Molnea last Wednesday. The antl-
ft'Klonlstu or middle-of-the-road populists
will hold thcilr state convention at DCS
Molncs Wednesday , August 30 , when Mr.
Hutchlneon says n party ticket will bo
named and It will not be a democratic
one either. In the call Issued by A. W. C.
Weeks of Wlntorset , chairman of the popu
list state central committee , he says :
"Tho dark cloud of fusion that has al
most obscured the light of the people's
party seems to be drifting away , revealing
to the anxious eyes of the reformers the
real situation and uncovering to the vision
of others the hideous results of political
miscegenation , and there Is now gleaming
In the heavens the radiant star of hope.
Let true populists once more gird on their
armor and rally around our standard un
dismayed and resolve to make one more
effort to start the party again toward the
proud and Influential nosltlon It occupied
before it was seduced Irom the straight
and narrow path of political virtue. There
Is real assurance that wo are now about
to become what wo ought to be , the hope
of the reform sentiment. So-called silver
republicanism bas thrown off Its mask and
acknowledges Its democracy. The fusion
populists now rely solely on the 'Integrity
of their allies. ' There Is no one else to
uphold the banner of populism. Let us
not fall In our duty. "

the-road populists of Pottawattamlo county

FORT DODGE , la. , Aug. 18. ( Special
Telegram. ) A sorlous situation exists at
Tarn , where the Port Dodge & Omaha la
bolnp built. The contractors are exper
iencing considerable difficulty In securing la
borers to complete their contracts and are
In considerable danger at forfeiting largo
sums of money because of their Inability to
complete their contracts within the tlmo
specified. The reason of the difficulty la
the large nagcs that arc toeing paid by
farmers who are unable to secure the help
needed at the harvest time.
la order to obvlato the difficulty the con
tractors made arrangements to ship In a
largo number of negro laborers from Mis
sissippi and the first tralnload containing
125 colored laborers arrived Thursday anil
were sent out at once to Tara. The colored
men had agreed to work for $1.25 , but when
they reached the road and found that the
whlto laiborers were receiving from $1.75
to $2 per day , they objected to the discrim
ination and at once merit on a strike.
The contractors have refused to pay any
more and the negroes who came all the
way from Mississippi are now lying Idle.
They say they will work on the farms
sooner than work for the wages offered
them and serious difficulty Is expected. The
situation receives other complications from
the fact ttal the white laborers now threat
en a sympathy strike unless the demands of
the colored men are acceedcd to.

HIGH PIIICED DRUGS.
Cant of Some Hardy UNctl InKredlcntn
In Ironcrli > < lonH.
What ils the most expensive drug ? A
definite answer It might not be prudent to
give. A New York Sun reporter's search
brought htm to germanium , listed In the
Index to the preparations of < ono of the
largest firms of manufacturing druggists In
the city at $7 for one and a half grains , or
the pretty flguro of $2,240 an ounce. The
uses of germanium the Index did not give
and Inquiries of several druggists failed to
reveal them , as did consultation of encyclo
pedias In English , German and French. But
there was no question about the price or of
the record of the article among the prepara
tions of the druggists.
Among the higher priced drugs to be found
In the list which are used for medicines Is
carpalne at $1 a graltf , or $480 an ounce at
wholesale , or carpalne. hydrochlorate at the
same price. CoVpalne Is used In" cases of
mitral Insufficiency and administered In
doses of only a fifth or a third of a grain.
What the retail price of this would toe sold
under prescription Is matter of conjecture.
The drug Is sold to the dealer In fifteen-
grain vials at $15.
At the same rate comes cornutlne citrate ,
which has the same uses as cornutlne , that
sells at $14 for fifteen grains. Cornutlne Is
In the form of a reddish moss or flesh-col
ored powder , obtained from ergot and by
some said to bo the true active principle of
ergot. It Is used In certain hemorrhages
and for other purposes In very small doses ,
In some cases as low as one-twentieth of a
grain a day.
Lithium , used In chronic rheumatism , Is
quoted at $8 for fifteen grains , or $250 an
ounce. Yet lithium , classed as a soft metal ,
the lightest solid clement , is found in sea
waier and in the water of most rivers and
surface springs and in most mineral waters.
Homatropine , at $6 for fifteen grains , is
used for the same purpose as atroplnc. It
is less toxic than atroplno and when it is
used to dilate the pupil of the eye the pupil
subsides moro quickly than after the use of
iurupiue. i uuuunmc , ouiameu irom opium
and somewhat resembling strychnine , sells
for $9 for fifteen grains and lathanum at $20
for fifteen grains. Laudanlno Is a crystal
line alkaloid , some-times colorless , sometimes
pale red. Lanthanum is a rare metal , dark ,
of a gray lead color. Another metal , er
bium , n dark gray powder , is among the
drugs at $7.nO for fifteen grains.
Methyl-stryohnino Is quoted at $5 for fif
teen grains , or $160 an ounce ; tnuscarlno
sulphate and muscarlne nitrate each at $5.50
for fifteen grains. The latter is used as an
antidote to atroplne and in one-thirtieth of
a grain doses for diabetes.
Mauvlne hydrobromato , an alkaloid of
muawl bark , from a Mozambique tree , sell-
inir at $4 for fifteen grains , or $128 an
ounce , Is a yellowish white powder used as
a cardiac stimulant and also as an ordeal
poison.
Cannablno , an alkaloid obtained from oan-
nabia saliva , a fine seed , and quoted at $320
an ounce , or $10 for fifteen grains , is de
scribed as a hypnotic without dangerous
secondary effects. This price , like all others
hero clven , Is the wholesale price.
Methyl chloride , a uas of ethereal odor
compressed to a liquid In cylinders , Is sold
io the retail trade at $25 for a one-litre
siphon. It Is used as a local anaesthetic
in cases of severe neuralcia , pruritus and
spinal rains. V
Oil of arnica flowers Is on the list at $30
an ounce as a remedy used externally for
rheuamtlsm , cout and injuries. "I never
sold a bit of It , nor have I heard of it being
called for or prescribed , " said a pharmacist
of forty years' experience in one of the
busiest stores ,
Narcelne , nn alkaloid obtained from opium
and producing effects similar to , but milder
than , those of morphine , comes at $18 an
ounce. It is said to be free from the dis
agreeable after effects of morphine , Plpera-

IS imnU.MATISM CO.Vl'AUIOUS f
Doctor * Slinnlil Keep ( Vnlet Alioiit a
Dlni-nxc They Don't Unilcmtnuil.
H is brazen in the doctors to announce
that rheumatism In contagious , says the
Philadelphia North American. A sense of
modesty would lead the profession to re
frain ifrom all voluntary mention of a dis
ease that has baffied its centuries of In
quiry. Among the many causes of chragrln
to medical men rheumatism is pre-eminent.
It Is not only that they are Ignorant of Its
nature and the very tissues it Involves , but
that they have not oven by accident stum
bled on any remedy moro efficacious In miti
gating Its pangs and reducing its. course
than the buckeye or small potato of an un
scientific antiquity. They prescribe acids
when alkalis fall , as they always do , and
the reverse , with a pretended solemnity that
dupes nobody. They are unable to distin
guish the essential difference between rheu
matism and many other afflictions unlike it
in character , such as neuralgia , sciatica ,
lumbago , tic , stiff neck and so on.
This colossal Ignorance does not warrant
the rank Injustice of representing the help
less victim of rheumatism as the center of
n physical , as ho Is of a moral pestilence.
As a result of the Incurable anguish the
rheumatic Is dead to the ordinary obliga
tions of civilized life.Ho Is Irritable , pug
nacious , ungrateful and profane * . His Im
mediate family bear with his moral Infirmi
ties because of the obvious reality of his
sufferings. They put themselves within
reach of his abusive language and of his
missiles , that he may vary the monotony
of pain with the pleasure of personal assault.
To assert that his affliction is contagious ,
that the amiable persons about him are in
danger of attack from the eamo microbe , Is
to drive from his bedside the most sympa
thetic and tolerant friends. When they wit
ness the moral decay of a good man in the
clutches of this incurable malady they feel
Justified in saving themselves from the same
fate by flight. To placard the house of the
rheumatic , perhaps to Jolt his hypersensitive
Joints over the rough streets in aa ambulance
and consign him to a pcsthouse , is to add
enormously to his sum of misery. It Is war
ranted only by the most exact knowledge of
the disease , which it is audacious for the
doctors to profess. It may be necessary to
the protection of the germ theory to rate
rheumatism as contagious , but an incomplete
hypothesis is better than abuse of a patient
whose malady Is a reproach to the medical
profession.

Detroit Journal : The neighbors were
naturally interested in the scientific parent.
"Why , " they asked this person one day ,
"do you always give your son chloroform
when you administer corporal punishment
to him ? "
First , of course , the scientific parent
laughed heartily at their Ignorance and sim
plicity. This done , he said :
"I wish to bring him up not to know
when he is licked. "
As the boy , so the man ; we all know
that.
