Hydi <>!>lio'i;a ou (ho ?iicn-.iso.? There is no doubt about hydro phobia becoming ?nore com ?ion in this State aa Ibo years go by. There was a time when a case of hydro p' bia was a 'aro I bin", hut now it io a very com.non thing. Tn ere is an unfortunate tendency on the part of some to depreciate t ie im portance ui rabies and hydrophobia on account of their rarity, while others have beer, lcd by the frequent mistakes in din.7n0.sis to dc.iy tho existence of those affections alto gether. But there is no dont- of its existence, and it kill., more people than ora' unacquainted wi h the statistics would imagine. The Journal ot The An; ?rican Medien! Asso .laiton says "it is re ported that epidemic rabies exists at present in on<- or mo-re states >f the Union, and there arc probab'y few states that have not a few ca es of thi ?. disc as-.; among dogs at all times while instances of human infection are not unknown in any section. In this respect the United States com pares unfavorably with Europe. The total annual mortality from hydro phobia in this country is from 100 to 300. In England tho muzzling order has been followed by a com plete disappearance." Dr. Hart, an expert on such mat ters, says "the disease among dogs is increasing. In and about Wash ington its frequency during the last ten months has boen alarming; in 1907 a positive diaemo'ds of rabies was made in 14 cases, and of these 33 were found in tho District of Colum bia or its immediate neighborhood. These lill animals bit 10 people, 46 dogs, 2 horses and 2 cows. Nor is the disease less common in other parts of the country; Dr. Hart well observes that the preventive meas ures at present being taken are al together inadequate, and urges that stringent measures should be tak en to stamp out the awful disease. All dogs should be muzzled and those found running at large, un muzzled should be killed. This is what was done in England, and the disease has completely disappeared. The life of one person is worth thousands of dogs. Tho Mayor of large io nq muzzled, no gave the police orders to kill all dogs found on the streets without a muzzles rc gardlcss of their value or their own ership, ar.fi in Ies3 than three days ON." one hundred dogs have been killed.

Thc Lincoln, Nob., Journal, a Republican paper, says: "lt has hoon informally agreed among tho people hero that Lincoln is to ho polite and non-partisan this year. When democrats from outside came to Lincoln in 1886 and again in 1000 they found tho town plastered with McKinley pictures. It was so- hu miliating to Mr. Bryan that ho pre ferred to go away to soc tho loaders ol' his party rather than have thom como here to seo him. Now a gen eral fooling of tolerance and good nature is in the air, and when the de mocratic statesmen come they will be received with toleration. A part of the'ehange will bo duo to busi uess|conditions, bnt most of it comes from tho reaction from tho extremo partisanship that prevailed hore eight tuid twelve years ago." This indicates that the Republicans of Nebraska are more friendly to Mr. Bryan than they wert in 1896 and 1900, verifies to some extent Sena tor Tillman's prodiction that thous ands of Repudlicans throughout the Wost will vote for Bryan in the coming election. Tho Journal says part of tho chango will be duo to business conditions," and those samo business conditions will make many a voto for tho Democratic candidate, which wo believe will land him in tho White House at Washington. Hurrah for Bryan. Will Nominate Johnson. Tho Washington Lost says: "Cov crnor John A. .Johnson of Minneso ta will bc nominated before the Denver convention to hoad tho Democratic ticket by Representa tive Winfield S. Hammond of the Second congressional district, of Min nessota, tho man who dofoatcd for congress former Representative Jamos T M < leary, one of tho repub lican leaders during his service in thc house. Hammond nominated Governor Johnson for both his terms ivs g< vernor of Minnesota, and * both ti met Johnson swept a normally republican state into the democratic column. 'Unquestionably,' he said 'Johnson will carry a large propor sion of the southern states in the convention.' " Congressman Ham mond is the same man who saysi "(Jen. Miles would make an ideal I running mate for the Minnesota Governor." It will be seen by the above that they are very close poli tical and personal friends, und it is likely that they agree on the Miles proposition. Tho World HIlOWII Bryan's just characterization of newspaper servility to the trusts seems to have bitterly rankled in the breasts of some of the editorial writers of the New York World, and as a consequence from that day to this the World lost no opportunity to launch a blow at William Jen nings Bryan. "In the meantime," says Tobacco, a journal published in the interest of the tobacco trade, the Nebraska statesman has paid little attention to the World's con tinuous attacks, in spite of the fact that the World itself has during the past three months furnished the most complete and ample justifica tion for the criticism at which it took offense, by its attitude of ser vile submission to the tobacco trust ---the trust which Theodore Roose velt long ago characterized as the worst of all the trusts. "The suit of the United States government against the tobacco has been on trial nine long weeks, the hearings were held within a litlte moro than a stone's throw of the World office, and many of the disclosures have been of a most pic turesque and sensational character. Under ordinary circumstances, that s, had it boon a bank, or a minor insurance company that had been placed on trial by the government the revelation that came out during the trial would have been accorded many columns of space in the World from day to day. "But it was the tobacco trust that was on trail, and so the World found it convenient to ignore the proceedings, except upon such rare occasions as something could be twisted and contorted in such a way as to appear favorable to the tobac co trust. On those rare occasions, the World would accord space to the trial of the tobacco trust, but truth to tell, such matter as was allowed to fine its way into print in the World at those times, read as though it had been carefully edited and amended at tobacco trust head quarters, before being put into print. _iptO tact i iiiii on many days while the trial was it Now York, there was an actual dearth of news, and the World was compelled to pad out trivial and commonplace occurrences to great long1 h in order to lill its columns. "But no sooner is the taking of testimony in the case temporarily at an end in Now York than tho World find that it has plenty of space in its news columns to devoto to a state ment issued by tho tobacco trust in its own defense, and which it may bc incident ally remarked is a tissue of misrepresentation-to uso no harsher torin-from begining to end. "In other words it would seem to be the settled policy of tho World to allow real nows of a character that would prove vitally interesting to many of its readers to be crowded out of its columns so long as there is tho slightest possibility that sncb nows might provo distasteful to tho tobacco trust; while on tho other hand tho World will accord tho most ample space to any matter to which thc tobacco trust desires to give publicity, regardless of whether it bo nows, whether it be true, or whether it be of the slightest inter est to the World's hundreds of thous sands of raeders." SENATOR Tillman was right when he said that no instructions were needed for tho delegates from this State to Denver. The State Con vention was a regular Bryan love feast, and no man opposed to his nomination had tho ghost of a chance of hoing elected a delegate. liill the .Mites.

This ia the only ofToctive way to got a pro fitable price next tall and the Union will push the plan to tho utmost. Tho ohed of this action on the present crop yet in the farmers hands von id lie instanoous. The Carotina Union Farmer has the following to say on t his subject : The plan to remove the possibility ol' low-priced colton is simple, prac tical and effective, lt is simply to go Into your fiolds and plow np a. given amount, ot' cotton and plant the land in peas, corn or some I ?r age crop. This will ca USO a chango of your plans, you say? Of courte il will, hut tho change ls absolutely ac cessary to win your light. You can't, afford to follow au uncertain and foolish plan in this contest, when there is a sure and certain way. You can't compote successfully with tho cunning brain of the gamblers with out using your own brain and busi ness sense. Tito way to defeat an enemy ls to decoivo and surprise him. As a pitia for winning (his light for the juice of cotton.it is belter to plow up lin' Cotton a hoad i plained, than to have reduced the acreage to that extent tit tim beginning. This action taken now is at a limo when it ia too late for tho Southern fools and traitors to increase (noir colon ac reage, as they would have done, it ibis action had ben taken earlier in the season. II will not only dofoat those who would be disposed lo act the traitor, but it will attack tho gamblers' stronghold in a placo least expected, and their defeat wdll be inevitable. li is a fact sustained by his story and by trade conditions that a ten II) i 11 ion bab' crop ol' cot ton will bring more money in the aggregate than a 15,000,000 bale crop. We aro a business organization and as such wo must learn business ways from busi ness, men if we succeed.

My plowing up a portion of ibo cotton cop ihe benoill will como lt) ns in a twofold way. K will causo tho pri< >. ol' conon to advance to a point where the acres thal are loft in codon will bring moro money than tile whole would have brought. There fore, whatever crop we raise on tho land when! we plow up a certain amount ol' colton, thal crop will re present a dear profit over and above what we would have otherwise had, in Ibo windup. Tho corn, peas or lane that is produced on tho land on which coll?n is plowed up, will add that much more value to our produc?s next fall, and tho best part about the whole plan will bo tho beautifully Crushing defeat, of tho gamblers who intend to price our colton at Sc, or less, next fall. Is the light worth winning? This is a matter that appeals to tho patriotism Of every Southern farmer and tests Hie loyalty ol' every Farmers' Union man. Shall cotton prove to bo an other "lost cause'- in the Routh? Let oacli individual answer this question by noing promptly into his field and do some plowing that will yield a big ger profit than the same amount of plowing has ever yielded in this coun try. .

Physicians worked willi him con stantly and operated several times, firs! amputating a single toe. Jlnt the poison continued, mid on ac count of the bad condition of tho pal ient 's blood, it could not bo stop ped. Several days ago as operation was performed, one leg being amputated, but Mr. Rent/ finally succumbed. There were three physicians in at tendance and all possible means woro used to save the life ol' a well thought of and promising young man. Mr. lient'/ was no years old and unmarried, ile was a farmer, living about live or six miles from Hamborg. His estate is considered quilo valu able as ho had always boon a very economical man. Ho was a son ot Mv. Jacob Rest/, who died last year.
