The great dance hall was crowded
with miners, prospectors and tender

the floor all evening. Two long rows
of gaming tables had also been run

there came Il lull in the dancing for

Early Treatment of smallpox.

1t was several years ago that Gala.
vardin drew the attention of French
practitioners TO the advantages OF
treating smallpox according to the
plan originally suggested and carried
out by John Of Goddesden and Waters.
The treatment in question consisted
simply in keeping the patients abso-
lutely away from all solar light, and
this solar darkness had to be from first
to last complete and uninterrupted,
otherwise no beneficial results could
be looked for. The same authority has
recently published the results Of his
experience with this method covering
a period of some sixteen years, show.

Of model roads. Three styles of con-

driveway of 10 feet. The third is so

the crown. These are intended for

Of the three styles of road building
the first is simply six-inch bed of mac

1t would cost about $4,000 mile for

eight-inch macadam, costing $4,000 a

inches Of macadam and crushed stone

money, but it lasts forever. All the
roads are SO built that face sections are

i'll its support of Mr.. Smokers can
didacy for County Judge. The Chron-
icle says:
Jessie p. Smelker, of this city, is a
candidate for County Judge of this
county, having been acquiesced in by
majority of the bar of the county"
If this statement were true it would
be at best rather poor compliment
to Mr.. Smelker. For to acquiesce is
defined as follows in Webster's die
tionary:
4. To rest satisfied or apparently satisfied.
or to rest without opposition or discomfort
usually implying previous opposition. un-
easinesS, or dislike, but ultimate compliance
submission.
But to say that majority of the
bar of Iowa county even acquiesce in
Mr.. Smokers candidacy is a falsehood
A majority of the bar of Iowa county
have signed the call for Judge McIlhon
the present incumbent, and enthus.
astically support his candidacy. In
fact Judge McIlhon is the candidate
of the bar and the people, and is re
ceiving such spontaneous and hearty
support from men of all parties as has
never before been accorded to a can
didate in Iowa county.
