WEEKLY JOURNAL PLENTY OF GOLD HORRIBLE DEATH HOW IT ORIGINATED tention from the wiseacres of the medical world The subject of the case in question is Lawrence Kissling an employq of the Koken Barber's Supply Company on Market street While at his daily labor one day the latter part of last week Kissling skinned the back part of his right hand The injury was a slight one and he paid but little attention to it Snnday morning he arose as usual and prepared himself for breakfast by washing his face and hand As he was sitting at the table partaking of his meal a common fly alighted on the injured part of his hand Shortly afterward Kissling complained to his wife that tlie hand was paining him and by noon it began to swell still he paid no particular attention to tlie matter until the next morning when he went to his work After reaching his place of toil he discovered that work was out of the question and Dr Otto Hartwig of Tenth and Market streets was called By this time the baud had swollen in a frightful manner and the doctor at once -'nfortned Kissling that blood poisoning was more than probable lie poulticed the injured limb and advised him to abstain religiously from any hard work until ie swelling had gone down Kissling is still undergoing a treatment but Dr Hartwig thinks he i about out of danger unless the infection should hapten to be deeper than wa at fii-t sippoted Kissling himself does not seem to realize that he had a eh se call and is anxious to return to work According to Dr Newcomb of the City Dispensary the swelling was caused by infection carried on the legs of the fly very probably from some foreign substance Dr Newcomb said the ease would not be considered a vert- rare one in medical science but that it had always been noticed tLat ca-es similar to this were far more plentiful immediately after a large flood as was the ease during the past spring than at any other time The swelling with which so many of the people of this eitv have been afflicted during the present season he thought might easily be traced to the fly and not so much to bugs as was the original supposition The flies light on the carrion and other decompo-ed matter ihct is carried with the flood They become infected with-the poisons ari-ing from this matter and the virus is impregnated in any sore or tender spot of a human being on which a fly may happen to alight If a man is in a healthy condition he has not much to fear otherwise he has Flaxseed poultices and a well regulated system are the remedies prescribed Demented Woman Burned to Death at

North Carolina said to the governor of South but perhaps some do not know when and under what circumstances the famous remark was made Nearly a century ago a man prominent in political affairs in North Carolina moved across the border and setJ tied in South Carolina He had been there only a short time says the Memphis Scimitar when he committed some small crime for which he was iodicted To escape arrest he returned to his old home in North Carolina In due course of time the governor of South Carolina issued Ins requisition on the governor of North Carolina for the fugitive criminal The fugitive had rich and influential friends in liis native State and they interceded with the governor until lie refused to grant the requisition A long official correspondence followed Prominent men in South Carolina told the governor that he had not been treated with proper otlicial courtesy by the governor of North Carolina The result was that the South Carolina governor accompanied by a large party of friends and advisers journeyed by stage to Raleigh for a conference with the governor about the matter of giving up the criminal The governor of North Carolina with a large party of distinguished friends met the governor of South Carolina and his party several miles from town and escorted them to the governor's mansion with all the ceremony due such distinguished guests Before the object of his visit was stated the entire assemblage sat down to an elaborate dinner After dinner maud ami offended the riiantty of niv otace ant 1 mess vou at once surrender the prisoner 1 wr re-

brought out again and while the visit rs remained if anyone attempted to refer to the diplomatic object of the visit he was cut short by the remark that it was a long time between drinks When the

Louis Republic interviewed Isaae Bass-ford an old miner of the days of '49 anent the Klondyke region tne other day which territory he and a party explored 1871 Mr llassford says that the expedition consisted of 11 men besides himself They had three four-horse wagons well loaded with provisions tools and arms and left Aspenbone about the middle of July' and followed the Kinsley river Their journey' lasted six weeks or more and then the heavy snows came on and they were obliged 10 return as they had no feed for their hordes and the snow covered the gras to such a depth that digging out enough for the daily use cf the Indian ponies was out of the question They journeyed about 20 miles a day and had got to a point where by climbing into a tall pine tree they could by the aid of a good spyglass see a large lake lying to the rorthwest They struck gold all along the river thougn not in paying quantities He gives it as his opinion that the richest deposits are yet to be found and incidentally let drop a most novel scheme for acquiriog the yellow metal He sAys that the gold is washed down from toe mountains and that if a party will go there and build a steam scow and going to the place where the tributary streams flow into the Yukon Kinsley and other rivers that a submarine diver can go down under the ledges of rocks where the two streams meet and fill hoisting buckets with the coarse gold and gravel that hardly needs to be washed out The gold will be found in nuggets and the work compared to the present process of pan wasning and erading wll be light and much more profitable Mr llassford is 79 years old and has been golJ mining for the past 40 years He went to California when the gold fever first broke out In 49 and made $43000 in less than six weeks having 1 located several valuable properties and sold them some of them being among the mines held by tne late Senator Hearst He gives it as his opinion thar there is gold to be found in paying quantities in the Ozark Mountains and while the deposits may not be as heavy yet the great saving of expense in the way of living shipping etc- will go a long way toward making the business in the oi rd apples as profitable as many of the males now being operated in Alaska RAILROAD TALK Tlie Arkan-a Southern to Tap the Gulf Little Rock Ark Aug 11 The Arkansas "southern railroad will shortly be extened from
