TJU-: DIPSOMANIA CURE.
Devout Christians hnre' long declared
that nothing Imt the saving grace of re
ligion could lift a man out of the gutter
and keep hiiu straight ever thereafter.
Recent observations of the effects of the
Keeley cure for dipsomr.nia indicate that
the good brethren knew what they were
talking about. It is reported, says the
Spokane Review, that many of the cures
wrought by so-called bichloride of gold
process were -only ephemeral, after all,
and that the old topers are turning out
early in the morning for their eye
opener pretty much as they have so often
turned out after the temperance cruaade
had run its course.
The truth is that there is nothing new
in the Keeley. institute for the curb of
drunkenees. Inebriate hospitals have
been established in different parts of the
country for many years; and it "now
seems probable that there was nothing
new either in tie course of treatment by
these modern institutes. Annlyses of
the so-called bichloride of gold remedy,
made by a chemist of this city, failed to
disclose the presence of either soldium
or gold in any form, and analyses made
by eastern chemists have resulted .in the
same manner. The secret of the won
derful cures that have made lies in ' the
positive manner in which cures were
promised, and to the fact that to give
the patient renewed hope the pleasing
thought of an entirely new discovery
was thrown out. These influences are
always powerfully exertive upon -the
minds of hopeless invalids or inebriates,
and can do more in such cases than all
the drugs that were ever stacked upon
the apothecary's shelves.
But the strength of the new treatment
is also its weakness; such u feeling of
confidence, is imparted to the patient
that he returns home with the belief
Slliat the drug has destroyed the appe
ltite, and that he can look upon the wine
-wheii it is red. without falling into the
oldtime weakness. The consequence
has been that some of the most promis
ing cures are now suffering with a 1am--entablo
relapse.
The best way to stamp out dipsomania
is to leave aieliol severely alone. An in
toxicant can not be poured tnto the
wtwmach of even the strongest man with--out
leaving its evil effects. ' It is worse
ibr a well man than for the invalid, for
it disturbs the normal balance of health.
It is the pioneer , of disease sapping
away at the constitution until the work
of undermining is done, and leaving an
easy pathway for the silent emissaries of
death. No drug can overcome these
evil influences although drags may oc
casionally be used as nn adjunct to the
will of the patient.
THE ELECTIONS;
Returns from yesterday'selection leave
democratic and republican hopes and
fears pretty much as they were The
results give no sound basis for poli
tical calculation as to what may or may
not occurr -when we come jto elect a
president. iTUo election of McKinley by
20,000 majority would indicate that the
people will not abandon the principle
of protection without a hard struggle.
At liny rate McKinleyism is certainly
not dead by a long way, and political
forecast must take this into account. . :
A Telepatbic Coincidence.
I had as a guest in my residence in
Jamaica a lady of unusual intelligence,
who was very intimate with and much
attached to Mrs. Beecher Stowe. They
frequently corresponded. . She had a
dream in which Mrs. Stowe seemed to
be occupied, singularly enough, in dig
ging the ground, and she inquired if
. there was any foundation for this. From
' the reply 6he learned that Mrs. Stowe
had been shortly before in Scotland on
a visit to the Duke of Argyle, and had
been asked to plant a tree as a memorial
of her visit on leaving. Here it is proba
ble that, - besides the general sympathy
between the parties concerned, there
was some- special thought, on Mrs.
Stowe's part, of the friend who dreamed
of her act, connected in time either with
the actual handling of the spade or with
the remembrance of her strange occupa
tion. Few people would suppose such a
- coincidence to be purely accidental, unless
from the apparent impossibility for ac
counting for it otherwise. Blackwood's
Indiana Wbr id la Pine Carriage. .
The Sioni nation is rapidly becoming
a nation of aristocrats. During the past
few weeks many fine new carriages have
crossed over , here to the Sioux reserva
tion, and nil of 1 them belonged to mem
bers f the Sioux nation who came here
at different times and purchased them,
paying for the same in good hard cash.
Carriage dealers are now, in conse
quence, doing a rushing business with
the Indians, and the demand for the
finest and most expensive carriiiges is in
creasing, all the prominent and wealth
ier Indians appearing determined not to
be outdone by any other member or
members of the tribe.
The purchase by one Indian of an ele
gant carriage is sure to arouse the jeal
ousy of some other Indian, and then
some rustling is done. Cattle or-anything
that will net them the money
needed is hurried to the nearest market
and disposed of, and with the money
thus obtained the fortunate Indian will
hurry to a wagon and carriage dealer
and purchase the finest carriage that can
be procured.
The Lower Brule and Crow Creek In
dians are already the possessors of many
fine turnouts, and should they keep on
as they are now doing every Indian will
soon travel about in a carriage of his
own. If the carriage manufacturers
would paint their carriages a gaudier
color it would result in largely increased
sales, on the frontier at least, but at the
rate the Indians are purchasing it is
quite probable that they are satisfied
with the plain colors. South Dakota

To Have New Eyelids.
Harvey Chaffee, of East Valley, a well
known oil contractor, who was badly
burned by a natural gas explosion on the
7th of May, is in the city for the purpose
of having the skin grafting process tried
on him. Mr. Chaffee was very severely
roasted. The skin was burned off his
face and neck, and ten holes were left in
his head. The most serious scorching
was that upon the eyelids. ' They were
completely burned off both eyes, and in
their stead at present is the raw, in
flamed and swollen flesh. The sight is
most repulsive, but Mr. Chaffee bears
his misfortune with great fortitude.
When asked if his injuries were pain
ful, he replied: "Yes, sir, they hurt me
right smart at times, but it takes a great
deal to make me grunt. I can stand a
heap. You ought to have seen me when
I was burned. My ears were as big as
your fist and my head aS big as a half
bushel measure. I was a regular sight.
Yon can ask my wife there," and he re
ferred the reporter to a pleasant woman
who sat near.
The work of putting new eyelids upon
the unfortunate contracter is to be done
by Dr. F. D. Edsall, who said that he
would cut the material for Mr. Chaffee's
eyelids out of the patient's arm. Except
for his burns Mr. Chaffee was in a
healthy condition, and his own cuticle
w6nld perhaps lenit more rapidly than
that from another . person. The new
eyelids will be bereft of eyelashes, but
utility and a cure is what is sought after
rather than beauty in this case. Pitts

Twenty Pound Salmon for a Cent Apiece.
The present wonderful run of salmon
has so glutted the market that for some
time these silver sided -beauties have
been selling at five cents apiece, but the
price took a tumble yesterday and sev?
eral fishermen sold a boat load of fine
salmon, weighing about twenty pounds
each, at the pitiful price of one cent
apiece. Oue cent for a twenty pound
silver salmon, the finest quality of that
excellent fish, is the lowest price perhaps
that a food, fish ever' sold for in this or
any other country, but salmon are so
plentiful that people do not know what
to do with them. - r
It is estimated that enough fish could
be taken there in one day to fill 1,000
barrels. Fishermen, say they can make
big money by selling salmon at a cent
apiece to the canneries if they will only
buy all they can catch.' One man caught
fourteen with a gill hook attached to a
hoe handle yesterday, and another man
Claims to have found them in such num
bers in shallow water in the Dungeness
that he threw them out with a pitchfork
and soon got fish enough to List for a
month. Fort Townsend Leader.
' ' 'Sharks in Lous Island. Sound. "
An unusual . number of large sharks
was reported during September in Long
Island and Fisher's Island sounds. To
these the name of man eater is generally
applied- As a matter of fact, however,
the true man eating shark (Carcharodon
carcharias) is rarely seen on our coast.
This 6pecies grows to a length of twenty-five
feet aud to the weight of one ton,
being surpassed in size only by the bask
ing shark. It is a relative of the enor
mous shark whose teeth occur fossil in
the phosphate beds of South Carolina.
Any shark measuring nine or ten feet in
length is liable to be called a man eater,
and not without warrant, for all of them
will attack man with slight provocation
or when suffering from hunger. Forest

this article has more than doubled with
