It is announced in the press dis patches that Dr. Ferguson of Lon don has discovered that lemon juice will kill the bacilli of typhoid fever. The health department of the city of Chicago has taken the matter up and has verified Dr. Ferguson's conclusions and is now experiment ing to determine how little need be used for this purpose to render drinking water safe and further to ascertain ii citric or other acids may not be substituted. There is nothing surprising in this discovery; indeed, it might reasonably have been anticipated from the known facts of bactsri ology. In the lest cholera epidemic in this country it was found that cholera did not prevail along certain streams that carried acidulated waters. Definite experiments were made which showed that su'phuric acid lemonade was a preventive of cholera, even when the acid was in hiirhlv diluted form. The use of "e" v lemon ar.d lime juice in the tropics is almost instinctive and its rem edial ell'ects have long beeu recog nized. Bacteria do not thrive ex cept In alkaline media. Every biological laboratory understands this. These alsaline conditions are produced in dead and decaying matter, yegetable and animal. They even exist in the human stomach in periods of fast, after tho gastric juice has performed its work and the food supply is ex hausted. It is supposed that ojost of the diseases that make their entry into the human system through the stomach do bo when the ttomach is empty and neutral or alkaline in its leactions. These remarks would not apply so speci fically to the class ot diseases in troduced by air-breathing,' or to those germs received by inocula a. t.h velloiv fever by the hypodermic lance of certain kind of mosquito, found principally in w, Volinw fcver is supposed irojuv.D. - to be due to a malarial bacilli bred up to a virulent type in the body of the mosquito. There are vanou .ion of the uD-breeding, but the specific cause ot every iyp oi fever has not been worneu ouu TUMn be no question, how ever, of the bene6t of acid drinks for those maladies, as typhoid and cholera, that find their way into the system through trie stomacn and no doubt the acid treatment will be found to aflect all levers in which some . type oi u.u. come to be recognized as holding a causative relation.

At the last session ol the legis lature a measure was passed look ing forward to the consolidation of several schools into one, thereby improving the ona ichool and giv ing the patrons of th institution better service and longer terms. A scheme to gather np scholars some- room, to school males and menus and step forth into the busy world, no doubt to enter other institutions of learning and lorm other ties and other friendships. While these partings are, in a measure, pathetic, they are bright links in the chain of life, after all, for they mark steps of advancement and intel lectual devefopment which is ever cause for happiness.

LA. feeling of sadness steals over my heart, A feeling akin to pain. The school days are ended, and now we must part, Perhaps never to meet again. The vacant old school house looks lonely and sad, As it stands, all alone, on the hill: The veices are absent, once merry and glad, Aad tbeBonga that we loved novr" It is the intention of the state to endeavor to bring about the trial of Peacock at this term of court. His lawvers are Johnson & Van Sandt, of Portland, and Oscar Hayter, of Dallas. Peacock is non-communicative to all except his attorneys, but it is presumed his plea will be self-deiense. Homesteaders can vote any place in this district at the congressional election Monday. We consulted with Mr. Hermann in this matter, and he is probably the best posted man in the state on all matters pertaining to land and land owners and his decision should be respected.
