HELLER, Manager. the Democrats AND COUNTY OPTION REPEAL The Democrats at the coming session of the legislature have a splendid opportunity of proving their friendship to genuine temperance reform. They will be false to the people if they do not repeal the county local option law. They should pass a SI,OOO license law and limit the number of saloons, according to the population. Practical temperance and not buncombe dreams is what is needed. —Hartford City News, The one thousand dollar license law would be all right, but we cannot see how a Democratic legislature would be false to the people by failing to repeal the county opt ioh law. What’s more, we believe they would be idiotic politicians should they effect such a repeal. There is no question but that plenty of assistance will be freely offered them by the Republicans. That party organization wants to get out from under. They are not only willing but anxious to erase their efforts as prohibitionists They want to get back to old and familiar ground of standing for any old thing, and to catch ’em both coming and going. The Democrats in the legislature can help them if they will. Thousands will gladly hear the news that Senator Aldrich will not be a candidate for re-election four years hence. Perhaps his age begins to tell upon him; perhaps he reads the signs of the times aright. If so, he must know that the day has passed when a senator in such conspicuous relations with some of the great business interests can remain peacefully and comfortably in Washington. It is the presence of Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon as party leaders which makes it so hard for Mr Roosevelt to convince everybody that his is a reformed Republican party. It is but half reformed; it is a house divided against itself, with a process of elimination going on which a few years hence may have really separated the party from its Siamese twin, the protected interests. It is comforting reflection for every one who wishes to see business and politics kept at a safe distance from one another that this process of regeneration will go on. —The Hoosier.

LIFE IN FAR EAST (Continued from page 1.) asked if they didn’t have something else, but the Philippine waiter told us that the boss had gone to Cebu to buy “chow” and would be back that night. When the afternoon train came in we got our provisions, but not our luggage and so we were stuck. Not a thing to cook with, not a cot, blanket, tent or anything else and not a hotel in town. We went back to the boarding house for supper and told the landlord our fix, and so two of the fellows slept on the floor in the saloon and a man in the bureau of posts took the chief of party and myself to his house. The chief slept in a steamer chair and I put in a sleepless night on a bamboo corduroy bed with a canvass under me and a curtain over me. This morning the transitman went back to Cebu to see after the baggage and about 1:00 our stuff came in. We got our men and the cook busy and now we have everything running camp like. Such is the life of a civil engineer in the roads department, but after all it is great sport and one has a good time. The above was a little severe, but we have such as that so much that we take it as a matter of course. Well, it is time I was in bed. So long, BERT.

The tuberculin test is the most delicate and most nearly accurate test known for tuberculosis. It consists in the injection of a given amount of tuberculin into an animal and noting the effect upon temperature. An animal free from tuberculosis shows no rise of temperature, after the injection while one affected with the disease will give a so-called reaction no matter how slight the lesion may be. The test has passed all experimental stages and postmortem records on nearly 30,000 animals show only about one per oent of errors. The method of testing is essentially as follows: first, ascertain the normal temperature of an animal by taking the temperature at noon, three and six o’clock p. m. Then make the injection of the thirty drops of tuberculin under the skin and take the temperatures on the successive day at six, eight, ten a. m. and twelve o’clock. The normal temperature may vary between 100.5 degrees and 102 degrees and if a reaction occurs the temperature will likely go between 103 and 106 degrees. The cases with slight infection give a high fever and those with extensive disease give the least rise of temperature. In making the test as nearly normal conditions should prevail as is possible. A healthy animal will not be injured by the test and there is no possibility of starting up new cases of disease. The objection urged by owners against the test it that it is too delicate, that animals in which th4 lesions are .-><• slight as to be harmless are condemned as well as those in the advanced stages. The test is so searching that its employment should be in the hands of those competent to use it. It is the holy method known at the present time by which the diseased may be saparated from the healthy in a given herd, or to ascertain the rate with which the disease is spreading in a herd. The test should not be

reapplied to an animal within ninety days. As indicating how, the test de-| termines the spread of the disease in i a given herd, it was found that in 10 animals tested the first time, 25 per cent reacted, testing the same animals five years later, showed 75 per cent to react and in eight years 100 per cent. Again at a certain public sale, the cattle were sold to sixteen farms and tests made at each of these farms at a later date showed the disease to have spread upon every one. It would have been impossible to have made these determinations in any other way. This is the best season in which to test both by the individual and in public service. G. H. ROBERTS.

Girl Says Dread of Unseen Was Impressed Upon Her, - Bakersfield, Cad., Nov. 30. —Interest here is at fever heat over the story told by Augustina Desuetre, aged 16 years, who was recovered from Los Angeles, where her mother had sought her for some time. The girl says spiritualistic influences were employed to take her from her home and induce her to go to Los Angeles with Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Dayton. Subsequently Dayton’s wife went to Santa Rosa. Mrs. Clement, mother of the girl, located her daughter in Los Angeles. Dayton took alarm and went to Oakland. A warrant has been issued for his arrest and he will be brought here for trial. TJje girl asserts that she objected to accompanying the Daytons south, but that the woman produced spirit rappings, table tippings and other spiritualistic phenomena, and frightened her into accompanying the pair. During her stay in the south, the girl says, she w’as kept in a condition of abject fear of evil which would be done her by the spirits if she deserted the Daytons. Until her mother appeared, she asserts, she was unable to break away from her dread of the unseen influet ces. o Democrat Want Ads. Pav.

SOME PROPOSED NEW LAWS. Improvements in Primary Law —Qualification for Voters. Indianapolis, Dec. I.—Representative Fred I. King, of Wabash, while in the city today, said he would introduce at the next session of the legislature a primary election law. “I have not yet worked out the details of the bill,’’ said he, “but it will be similar to the one I introduced two years ago. It will provide for the nomination of state candidates as well as county and township candidates. It will provide also for a first and second choice vote. Thus, in the event that there should be no election of some one candidate, or possibly more than one candidate, the election would fall to the highest on second choice. Adolph Seidensticker, representative from Marion county, will introduce an amendment to change that section of the state constitution which prescribes qualifications for voters. This amendment in order to be effective must receive a favorable vote in two sessions of the general assembly and then must go before the people and be adopted at a popular election.
