Healy OF Portland In an address to the
Catholics Of Maine on the occasion of the

Puritans, the Cavaliers OF Virginia, or the
Quskers in Mary land. As long ~ the
Catholics had control Of the government
that WAS the sole colony where freedom
Of conscience and liberty Of religion
existed. Let us not be discouraged by the
abuse Of prejudiced men. We have moth
ing to conceal; we have no conspiracy.
We cannot be members Of oath bound Sc
cret societies. While respecting the rights,

JUDGE OF our brethren In citizenship, we

knowledge OF the brackish and poison ous

to the fear that has seized upon the minds
OF the people In regard to this fell de.
stroyer. 1t seems that . man named
Joseph Ellsworth OF Kansas City, Mo-,
more recent ly from Lesdville, was taken
down on Wednesday with this dread
disease on his return from Guthrie and
Oklahoma City end Ii now qusrantined at
house near the Santa Fe railway shops.
1t Is reported that this man stoed In line at
the land Office ut Guthrie for four hours
while. waiting to file his claim on last
Tuesday, tLus exposing to attack all those
wish whom he came In contact at that
time. As the trains are crowded every
> day between Arkansas City and
Guthrie, Oklahoma City and Pur.
cell, the disease may have already
spread to those towns The people who
have heard of this case are anticipating an
epidemic, and the first outbreak may re-
suit In nearly depopulating these embryo
cities in Oklahoma. DIR Moore OF Arkan-
sAs City, who Ia in attendance on Ellis
worth, says It Is a genuine case OF small
pox, and people in this city are excited
over the matter, although officials say they
can undoubtedly keep It from spreading.
They talked quite seriously Of establishing
quarantine on the Oklahoma district, as
they have dubbed the new territory.

The claim was discovered about two
years ago by u young Irish miner, who.
believing that OkanoRan county was rich

when the frat rumors of the discovery of
gold and silver were circulated.
Tbe young son OF Erin with praise

of over 2,u0O feet that oversh adOws Ruby

are situated. he discovered the Fourth of

OF the best prospects 10 the district.
Some time after locating the claim. an

Ferdinand M. .nadborn. "a mining
operator of Helena, has purchased the in
terest held by James +. Wardner in the
bond on the East and West Chloride lodes,
also the Iron Dollar, Lucky Strike and
Eagle Town claims, all situated in the
Chloride district, near Pend 1'Orielle
lake. Mr.. Chadborn, the purchaser of
this interest in the bond, is one of the
parties interested with Hugh McQuaid, A.
A. Mcdonald, p. j Cunningham and Mar
tin Maginnis. who bonded the claims in
January last. Mr.. Chadborn has consider.
able influence with mining men in Lon
don, England, his father having sold the
famous Drum Lummon mine Of Montana
in that city for 81 $40 900.
This transfer is undoubtedly evidence that
the ps rites holding the bond to these lodes
are satisfied with their deal, and tney will
doubtless organize u company to purchase
the property by the time the bond expires
