Germ Infected Air.
Malaria is not confined exclusively to the swainps
and raarshy regions of the country, but wherever there 13
bad air this insidious foe to health is found. Poisonous
vapors and gases from sewers, aud the musty air of damp
cellars are laden with the genns of this miserable disease,
which are breathed into the lungs and taken up by the
Wood and trausmitted to every part of the body. Then
you begin to feel out of sorts without ever suspectmg tlie
cause No energy or appetite, dull headaches, sleepy and
tired and completely fagged out from the slightest exer
tion are some of the deplorable effects of this enfeebling
tnalady. As the disease progresses and the blood becotues
more deeply poisoned, boils and abscesses and dark or
yellow snots appear upon the skin. When the poison is
left to ferraent aud the microbes and germs to multiply in
the blood, Live. aud Kidney troubles and other seriouseonipHcatious often
arise. As Malaria begins and developsiu the blood, the treatment tobe
elTective must begin there too. S. &. S. destroys
the germs and poisons and purifies the polluted
blood, and under its tonic effect the debihtated
constitution rapidly recuperates and the system is

A REUNION AT COLUMBIA
Good Entertainment with Fine Music
and a Basket Plcnic, and the Old
Confederates Had Llngering
Evidences of War Appetites.
(Wrltten for Tho Tlmes-Dlspatoh.)
COLUMBIA. MO., Sept. 28.-I havo
been'spendlng a few days In thls beauti?
ful town. The reunlon of the Mlssourl
Dlvlslon, U. C. V., has Just been held
here and was voted the most pleasant
one they ever had.
Thore were about 1,000 old Confederates
present, and all of them wore entertalned
ln tho homes of the clty. The meetings
were held ln the beautiful and spaclous
audltorium of tho Unlverslty, whlch was
packed to lta utmost capaclty. Tho ad?
dresses by Hon. B. XV. Stephens, Judg.
Lawson, of the Unlverslty; Colonel J.
XV. Boyd, Unlted States Senator Cock
rcll, who was a gall suit brigadlar-general
In the Army of Tenne.s.see, and Unlted
States Senator Stono wero of a hlgh or?
der, and were greatly enjoyed by the
orowds who heard them.
SuNG ANU STORY.
There -were son_s and rocltntlons by
varlous ladies, whlch wore greatly en?
joyed and frequsnUj* clicltod "tho old
Confederate yell," and they wero kind
enough to allow your corrospondent to
"K?!t up an aroua.ment" wlth several
cainp yarns.
There waa a "baskot plcnic" spread on
long tables ln the beautiful grovo on tho
Unlverslty oarapns and thero waa ham,
shoat, chlcken, mutton, salads, ooffce,
lee tea, vcgetables, oalt*, piea, Ico-creiun,
lemonade, ete, in the greatest profuslon.
I found myself Imaglnlng what would
havo been the rosull lf a reglment of
hungry Conlfedjerates had been march
ed up to thoso loaded tables, but I noted
that grU.lea and gray veterans had not
fnrgotten how to dlspose of good thlngs
when set before them.
BATTLE ABBEY.
The assoclatlon passed unanlmously and
hoartlly resolutlons expresslng their sym
pathy wlth tho Confederato Momorlal
("Battle Abbey"), and urged camps and
Indlvlduals to contrlbute to Uio fund.
I had opportunlty of seeinc a good deal
of thls lnstltutlon aa I was so fortunato
as to be a guest ln tlie channlng homo of
my old Vlrglnla frlend, Dr. R. H. Josslo,
wlio has been for eleven years presldent
of the Unlverslty and haa made a most
admira.ble record ln building up thla
great school.
When lie went there they had an en
rollinent of only B10 students, now they
have over 1,600, who havo already ma
trlculatod and tho numbor ls likely to
reach 1,800 durlng th*> curront swsslon.
Tho flntmces of tho Unlverslty h/tve
A/otsix eo Adirurably nuuuiged ih.u lta uu
nual incomo is now $125,000 (four hundred
ond twenty-five thousand dollars). Thero
ls no chargo for tuition fee3, and no ono
is allowed to enter tho Unlverslty until
a graduate of a hdgh school, or havlng
equivalent attainments.
COLLE-E BUTLDING BURNED.
Qn the Sth of January, 1S9., the main
buildlng, an Immense structurc, oontaln
ing the llhrary, museum, and other col
lectlons, was burned to tbe ground, tho
hall of architecture nnd tho observntory,
belng the oniy bulldings for Instruetlon
left on tho campus. Hut tho flro proved;
In tho end, a real nh-sslng nnd tho Unl?

venlent buuumgs, each of its departments
of law, medic'ne. englneerlng, academlcs,

The students enrolled represent fifty
two States nnd Terrltorles, and foreign
countries. and thc. Unlverslty ls exerl

I was especlally struek wlth tho qulet
