Reported Cases of piptheria.

Drs. Wisdom and Webster reported
to DIR. w. G, Spearman, city health
officer, last night, the presence of three
cases of diptheria on the East side
two children in the family of Mr.. II. j.
O'Dwyer and child of Mr. Frank
Caperton. Mr. Caperton's child died
early last night,
We trust that the physicians are
mistaken, and that there is no real
diptheria in the. city--and we are
enclined to the opinion that there is not.
Three or four months since several
cases of dipthoria were reported on
this side, which turned out to have
been something else. We refrained
from publishing such reports at that
time. Diptheria is generally consid-
cred as not contagious, but epidemic,
and if two or three cases of the dis
ease appear in city, dozens and hun
dreds of cases generally follow, and
without contact,
The DEMOCRAT sees no cause for
serious alarm from diptheria now, and
deprecates rumors and reports going
out as to its prevalence here. We would
not have published anything in re-
gard to it, but for the fact that others
did SO first. If the disease becomes
epidemic here, we will not hesitate TO
say 50. But there is no good reason
for nsodlessly alarming our people
now,

In speaking OF the extension of the
Texarkana X Fort Smith r. r., our
neighbor says: otis useless, almost an
insult to intelligence, to dwell upon
the Importance Of the road to the coal
and mineral fields of Arkansas and to
Kansas City, in It's influence upon the
growth Of Texarkana. The amount
to be raised is relatively trivial, will
be paid to local creditors and retained
here, and will not have TO be paid to
the road until fifty additional miles
are completed. Mr.. Whitaker has ex-
hausted his resources in creating q
railroad property sufficiently great, to
attract the attention and desires of
capitalists. 1T. Worth has grown
from 5000 TO $4,000 people in the last
16 years, against the rivalry Of Dallas,
and with absolutely no local advanta-
ges, other than that which erliberality
has purchased in the payment of bon
uses TO railroads. Her immense railroad
system is now making the city man
ufacturing center, and at present she
has the assurance Of Il S5,O00OOO
packing establishment. If we had her
pubic enterprise to aid our present
natural and acquired advantages, we
would to-day have city of 10000 in
habitants. Let every citizen do what
he can toward the growth Of our town,
and the least any Of us can do for our
city Is to attend the meeting"
Let every public-spirited citizen of
Texarkana attend the meeting at
Ghio's opera house tomorrow after
noon at o'clock. Our city has every
advantage Of location, and with the
extension Of the TT. Smith road will
move forward in development and
progress. BY all means let us raise
the comparatively small sum asked.

A Mistake,


The account Of the capture of Henry
Starr, the Cherokee Indian, who shot
and killed Deputy Marshal Floyd Will
son near Cotfeyyille, Kan, last week,
proves to be a canard. Deputy Mar
shal Peck Bruner, who the McAlestcr
correspondent says was Stars captor
was in Little Rock yesterday, and
says'he knew nothing Of the capture
and SO far as he knows Starr is still
at large,
Bruuer and his posse had brush
with the notorious Rowe, an ally OF
Ned Christie, who was killed in The
Cherokee Nation about a month ago
and his band, a few days ago, in which
Joe Raven was killed, Rowe fatally
wounded and Ned Downing captured
