WITH the memory of the hor-
rors of yellow fever last summer in
Florida still fresh, it must be rather
startling to the citizens of that state
to hear of even one case already
this spring. There has been one
death from yellow fever in the town
of Sanford. There are no other
cases in the family, and the house
is isolated and every precaution
taken to prevent the spread of the
disease. Surgeon: General Hamil-
ton says he is not surprised at the
appearance of the fever at Sanford
because the inspection was not
thorough, the inhabitants refusing
to destroy their clothing unless re-
imbursed by the government. He
thinks there may be a number of
cases throughout the state, and says
that he is sure there will not be the
futile attempts Of old to conceal
the presence of the disease, and
therefore, much less danger. He
thinks that neither panic nor an
extensive epidemic is possible in
Florida this year.

Treasurer Huston Bounced.

Hereafter the friends of Treasurer
Huston will find him at the Ebbitt
House. When Mr.. Huston first
took his family to Washington, he
went to the Ebbitt and intended to
make his permanent home at that
house. But he was so besieged with
ofice-seekers that he came to the
conclusion that it was too conven-
lent for those persons and too pub
lie for man who wanted few
minutes to himself during the day
or night. He was sought hourly
by hundreds of Indianians in search
of Office. In the hope of avoiding
them in measure, he recently
moved to quiet family hotel new
ly opened on Fourteenth street.
Washington reports say that those
Of Mr.. Illusions friends who called
on him Monday night were sur
prised to find him packing up to
move. whats up?" inquired
caller. "Going to leave; l can't
stand this hotel" quickly replied
the Treasurer. The proprietor was
sought and in explanation he said
"Mr. Huston is one of the most per-
feet gentleman / ever saw, and l
like his family, but I would not
keep him here for $500 day. This
is private family hotel, and wher-
ever he is there is always swarm
of Hoosier office-seekers. Why,
these fellows come here to hunt up
Treasurer Huston before the cooks
are up in the morning, and the
tramp of their feet is heard late at
night. They wear out my carpets, |
keep the Railways crowded, and
perfect slam of the doors. 1t be-
came so annoying that I had to
tell Mr.. Huston to hunt another
place to live. It is worse than an
Indiana convention" This is prob
ably the first instance on record
where a landlord has been COM
PEELED to request a guest as desirable
as Mr.. Huston to leave his house.
Several personal friends among the
other boarders left also. Mr.. Hus-
toms friends are inclined to tease
him good-naturedly for having been
turned out of his hotel.

THE Commissioner of the Gen.
eral Landoffice says that from pres
ent indications the contest over
land claims in Oklahoma will ulti-
mately involve nearly every quarter
section of land in that territory.
1t is thought that the department
should make the Oklahoma contest
cases separate class and dispose
of them at once. Otherwise, in the
ordinary course of business, it
would likely take at least eighteen
months or two years before they
could be reached. Contests where
abandonment is charged could not
be passed upon until after the ex-
piration of six months, as the law
does not recognize a separation of
the claim for shorter period than
six months as all abandonment.

Serious Accident.

The Idaho World of the Goth ult.
says that a serious accident hap
pened near Idaho City last Satur-
day to W. B. Noble, a we'll known
citizen and old-timer of that place,
caused by the running away of his
team. Mr.. and Mrs. Noble and
children, and Mrs. George Ainslie,
were out riding to the Warm
Springs and on returning some part
of the harness became detached, the
horses became unmanageable and
ran away. The horses left the road
and ran over pile of rocks, upset.
ting the carriage and hurting the
inmates against the rocks. Mr..
Noble received a severe cut back of
the left ear and a bad cut below the
eye, blood streamed from the cuts
and also from the ear. His little
daughter, Gertie, was cut about the
head and face, but not seriously,
the others were only slightly in
jured. Mr.. Noble is very seriously
hurt, but there are hopes of his
recovery.

ILLINOIS seems to be afflicted
with different phases of religious
excitement, in number of towns.
A dispatch from Rockford says
there is great excitement there over
the result of the trial of Mrs. Kin
nehan in the Presbyterian church
for heresy. Mrs. K. recently Joined
the Beekmanites, a religious sect
that worship Rev. G. I. Schwien-
furth as Christ. She said she was
satisfied that Christ had appeared
on earth in the person of Schwien-
furth and worshiped him as such,
and nothing could change her views.
The jury found the woman guilty
of blasphemy, apostacy and heresy,
and she will be expelled from the
church. The alleged Christ went
to Rockford few years ago, not
worth nickle. He now owns one
of the finest farms in that section.
and is worth $4,000. The meet
ings are held in large house on
his farm.

STATEHOOD.

The republican leaders in this territory
are quite apprehensive Of the fact that
there is danger of a stiff democratic op-
position TO the statehood scheme unless
they can curb the unruly appetite for
spoils which is manifesting itself among
the elect, the recent effort to GUST Judge
Weir having reused the ire of the inter
rifed. There are several phases of the
statehood movement which upon first
glance give the impression that certain
politicians would like to be U. s. Sena
tors or CongressmeD-the interests of the
people cut no figure. This is the rock
upon which the statehood scheme is in
danger of grounding. A careful canvass
OF Idaho to-day will reveal condition
bordering closely upon unanimity in ia
vor OF statehood, but this feeling will be
rapidly dissipated if the statehood move
ment passes into the hands of ambitious
office seekers. The people of Idaho look
upon statehood as means to an end,
viz: Her more rapid Development. On
no other grounds will they submit to the
increased taxation which the starting of
state government is bound to impose.
The sooner the "slates'' for the various
offices under statehood are broken the
better 1t will be for the whole movement.
1T the people of Idaho owe anybody
seat In the U. S. Senate we would like to
know the nature of Indebtedness.
well Tribune. ~.
The KEYSTONE heartily indorses
the sentiments above expressed by
the Tribune. The people of Idaho
would hail with pleasure the fact,
if they could feel assured that the
time had arrived, when their fair
territory could cast aside its 'sswad-
ling clothes" and be prepared to
assume the habiliments Of a SOW
ereign state. But the most impor-
tant question which confronts us at
present is, do we possess the neces-
sary acquisitions in their varied
forms to enable us to shoulder the
many responsibilities which would
ensue from the transformation of a
territory into state? We candidly
think not. And we do not believe
that the anxiety so often expressed
and the exertions made to further
statehood proceed from the earnest
wishes of the people, but emanate
from ambitious politicians and slate
makers, and result from the aspira-
tons of would-be U. S. Senators, etc.
We are unable to see the truth of
the expression 80 often used that
Idaho is ripe for statehood" Pol
ltlclans may try to make it appear
that the Idaho apple is matured
enough for their purposes, but when
the people have probed it to the
core they will find that the seeds
Indicate the fruit to be too unripe to
be gathered in. Should this pre-
mature plucking be accomplished,
the result would be disaster and
decay like unto that of an adioin-
ing state which was admitted into
the Union under like circumstances,
Among other things we also believe
that the population of Idaho as re-
ported from time to time has been
greatly exaggerated, and it will be
demonstrated to have been more
1igurative than real when the census
n1 next year has been taken.

prohibition amendment of the

10000 majority. The day was lovely
and prospects favored a large vote.
Both parties had been active and a
full vote was polled. The day was
made a legal holiday. Impartial
canvassers and general opinion
pointed to the rejection of the
amendment for some time before
the election. The principal interest,
therefore, conferred IN the size of
the majority against it. Ladies
were present at many polling places

THE NEXT CENSUS.

Robert P. Porter, the new super
intendent of the census, has already
got at work. He is trying to get
physicians registers for the collec-
ton of vital statistics ready for dis
tribution by June 1st, so that the
record will cover the census year
and complete it up to May 81, 1890.
These pamphlets are sent to physi-
clans throughout the country, and
with request to them to return all
the births and deaths within their
knowledge within the year, with
the causes of death. This work
was attempted in 1880, and partial
ly carried out. Imperfect as it was,
it resulted in the report of 10000
deaths by physicians, which were
not returned by the census enumer-
ators.
