ONE REFUGEE.
From Dectur is Taken SicL
in Our City.
He 10 Promptly Removed to the
Hospital two Miles Out Of Town,
Prompt Action Of the Mayor and Ply
sicians OF the City.

w. A. SOmers, young man came here
from Decatur eight days ago before the
quarantine law was established, and late
on Wednesday night he was taken sick
and the fact WAS promptly reported to
the Board Of Health.
1t was well known to the city authors
tiles and the physicians generally that a
number of Decatur refugees were in our
midst and the Health officers suggested,
a week ago, that suitable building be-
yond the citylimits should be procured at
once in case any refugees might take
sick SO that they could be removed from
town and treated where contagion would
have no chance Of spreading. The coun-
try residence Of DR.. Hooper pleasantly
situated about two miles west of town
was secured for this purpose, and this
is where Mr.. Somers is now under treat
ment.
The Mayor, Drs. Dement,, Baldridge,
and Shelby. were up all night with the
sick man and DR.. Shelby was unremit-
ting in his attentions yesterday. The
medical gentlemen agree that it is case
Of yellow fever, and aching on their de-
cision the MayoHW ednesday sent tele-
grams to tho Mayors of various neigh
boring cities stating the fact.
The announcement Of the case did not
create = ripple of excitement. The
twenty odd cases Of refugees in this city
in 1873, and the number in 1879, had no
effect on our pure atmosphere and not a
single case was contracted in this city
during these two years. Our city is un-
doubtedly in as good sanitary condition
now rs then, our air il as pure and orr
favorable geographical situation the
same. Our citizens realize that we have
nothing to fear from the appearance OF
this refugee case that could arouse any
excitement whatever. Our climate is
entirely free from malaria-there has
not been g death in Huntsville from
malsrial causes in i've months and but
one death in the city this month, and
that from accident.
1t is absolutely impossible for the
disease to be propogated where the
necessary conditions are absent and they
are not to be found in our beautiful little
city.

| Editor Gazette.
A constant reader of the Great and
good GAZETTE since its first nun
b :, who Is also a young man of
Huntsville, wishes few brief word
in reply to Lrae, Of Winchester, il
your last issue.
Who is this "Lrae" sku king un-
der nom de p ume to bushwhack
the fair name Of the young men of,
Huntsville. Why didn't he assume
the courage, if he had it not, to sign
his name: Any way, upon what
meat has this Caesar ted to make him
80 great.
Why, just dissect his letter. 1t
leaves the reader under the impress
sion that Winchester town is town
of Miller's nothing but Millers.
1t is so very strange that Urea"
could drop the Millers long enough
to lecture the young men Of HINTS
vile on Their conduct, which he has
the effrontery to attempt. Why?
Simply because at one of our Liter
ary societies his over sensitive nerves
were unstrung by some boisterous
boys giving vent to the overt ow of
their youthful spirits by laughin and
clapping their hands. All, "Lrae"
were you never boy. and are there
no boys, even among the numerous
family Of Millers, in Winchester
town!
Now, dear Lrea, good bye. But
write again-for there is much about
the Millers that would interest the
world. Among such a numerous
family we suppose one occasionally
stumps his toe, has the tooth ache, or
crooks his little finger. Keep us
posted.
A piece of advice here, before clo-
sing: never fail to shoot a dynamite
b NIB in the Huntsville boys behav-
ior, which will insure its being read
before the Fowler Literay by Mr.. HI.

A FRIEND
The Hot Springs star. (Hot Spings [Hot Springs], Dakota [Dakota Territory, i.e. S.D.]) 1886-189?, 1888-11-30
HOT SPRINGS STAR

1t is evidently useless to ask capital
to take hold Of the brilliant mill privi-
lodges in Fall River county in time to
benefit the farming industry within its
limits. 1t would be wise policy for
the farmers to take the matter in their
own hands and see to it that good
mill is built somewhere in the county
time enough before another havest to
insure a home market for their bread
stuff. We believe there is not a citi-
zen or a farmer in the county but what
could take ten or twenty dollars worth
of stock and thereby secure bonus
sufficient to erect good custom mill.
We hear intelligent farmers complain
ing about hard times, no money, or no
market for what they have got, and
it certainly cannot be remedied unles $
a different tactic is displayed from the
present one. The farmers claim that
the land is all that is required and that it
is no trick to raise a big crop, but then
they say, "wl,at is the use Of raising it,
we can't sell it," Every pound of flour
we use the cash has got TO come and we
can't sell an ounce Of wheat. and it is
the best bread timber IN the world.
Let us have a mill. United effort
will bring it, and when once we pro-
cure one source of self support, others
will follow in amazing rapidity.

The hope for another railroad in Fall
River County is about to I've realized.
what direction il proposes to, o,take with
in our borders evidently is not intend
ed for public knowledge yet. But peo-
pie will keep surmising that twill run
here and it will run there. The ru-
NOR that the b. &. NJ. Company have
purchased the property of Mrs. O'Linn
on White River, the old Chadron town
site. would lead people to think that
the mouth Of Fall River was the stra-
jetic point instead of Red Canyon or
still farther west. The first mentioned
point is feasible and direct one to
the coal and oil fields of the Hills, and
would also tap the Harvey tin district.
The natural gateway that this route
offers has been viewed several times by
the surveyors, and highly spoken of as
good road-bed. 1t is certainly the
most direct route and as liable to be
utilized as any other spoken of. The
marble, jasper. sandstone and gypsum
on the Fall River route, would be nc
insignificant Object in connection with
the coal, oil and salt wells farther on
to say nothing of the Hot Springs which
it would bring in direct communication
with the south and east.

KESsErT +. HARRIS,
County Clerk.

We again observe a lengthy and
elaborate letter from the facile pen of
w. r. Snider, in the Deadwood Times,
Of the 23d inst. pleading for legislation
in the pending legislature for an appro-
priation to build another insane assy-
lum somewhere in the Hills. The let
ter asks the various newspapers
throughout the district to support his
measure. The cause which the writer
advocates, no doubt has merits, but it
! is question in our mind of its FEAST
bility at present. The many remarks
we haye heard from prominent Dako-
tians from different parts Of the terri
tory, since the agitation of this ques-
tion, convinced us of the futllity of such
a measure, as the territory has already
appropriated enormous sums for the
erection and support Of two such insti-
tutions, one at Yankton and the other
at Jamestown. The STAR is ever ready
to lend it columns to the advocacy of
charitable work or any commendable
object, but it has prior duty to per-
form III the advocacy of similar cause.
and paramount to the present one.
1t does not appear to the STAR nor to
the southern portion of the district to
bequite the fair thing, to ignore claim
2 which is prior to, and more esentially
: needed, than the one now being sprung
e We absolve ourselves from any selfish
{ motive in this matter, for it must be
, conceded by the fair minded and un
e preiudiced, that to Fall River and Gus
$ ter Counties belongs the right to mex
: legislation and appropriation, if thu
y 14th legislative district is entitled t
G any.
t Mr.. Snider has our esteem for hi;
!, earnest public sentiment, but we can
not view it in any other light than
l. selfish one, after the representatives o
s this part of the district have worke
!e strenaously. and hard for the interest
a Of the northern portion heretofore an
asked for nothing.
II It's doubtful under the present es
y ist;ng state of territorial affairs, whetl
lie er anything of an executive natnr
II will be done. The uncertain period Q
a. territorial government makes it in
g possible for the incomming Legislature
n to determine upon any legislation, br
lie should they, we appeal to our incontr'
pr vertible right to legislation for a so
