A terrible story is that which comes
from lonely district in the northwest.
A family in farmhouse was attacked
with smallpox. Eight OF them--mother
md seven childreu-were down with
the scourge at once, leaving only the
father to nurse them. The neighbors
heard of the trouble, and not one of
them would 60 near They were so
panic stricken that they were deaf and
dumb to all tho dictates Of mercy. A
chance visitor who happened in at the
house found three children dead the
mother and four other children very i'll,
ind the husband and father himself
hursing them all alone, surrounded by
bis dead and dying.
1t sounds like a tale from the London
plague time instead of a true incident
in the nineteenth century in one Of the
most enlightened countries. Life is not
worth having at the price that mans
neighbors paid for it, Here was a battle
for common humanity to be fought.
Those neighbors shirked it oowardly, as
the soldier who fees to the rear and
hides behind log when the bullets be-
gin to whiz. Any true man or woman
Of them would have gone and done his
or her Christian duty regardless Of con-
sequences 1t is notable fact that only
in the rarest cases is the nurse or ply.
sician attacked with contagious disease.
Life is seldom lost by the one who takes
it in his hand and goes bravely into the
midst of infection and does as he would
be done by. A spell Of protection seems
somehow to be over him. Shame on the
miserable towards who lost their heads
and left a family to die alonel

PITTsBURG, Nov. 22.-An electric car on
Wylie avenue became unmanageable yes

terrific speed. At Logan street it collided
with "a cable car, and the passengers on
both cars were all more or less injured,

prove fatal. 1t was miraculous that no one

THE Democratic leaders in the House
are preparing to begin work preliminary
t, the opening of the session, but so many
of them fell outside the breastworks on
November that they can have little
heart for the necessary legislation before
them Another discouraging circum-
stance is the practical working of the
revenue act over which there was so pro
longed pother at the long session. Some
Of the Democrats believe in tariff for
revenue only, but under this bill they are
not getting revenue enough for the run
ming expenses of the government. Judg
ing by September and October, there will
be an annual deficit of 1926, 100000 or up
ward, This renders economy somewhere
necessary and the making of appropria-
tions will be more difficult task. than

against Probate Judge Stewart and e. f..
Brown and J. j. Burke, editors Of The
Times journal. The Indictment against
Stewart was for assisting prisoners to

escaping from Jail. w r.. Harper, probate
judge-elect, and Judge l.. Brown, both
prominent attorneys, were also indicted
for contempt for publicly commenting on

Declares the Court House Was Threatened
When Ills soldiers Fiircd.
COLUMBUS, O. Goy. 22.- Vhe' court of
inquiry yesterday i'm the Cott case heard
evidence to this effect from Cplonel Colt:
He was not az the door where dhe firing oc-
Cured. Later he received telephone mos
sage to get his men out as the lhouse was
to be blown up with dynamite Colonel
Colt laid stress on the fact that the orders
to fire in oisp the doors were broken or a
stone was thrown or a shot fired at the
men were given by hmsalft His reason
for keeping the men iu the house after the
negro had been taken there was to avoid
the possibility of stones being thrown at
the men, thus uecessituting firing by them,
and perhaps the hillingof innocent people.
He also believed the withdrawal of troops
TO the house would result i'm less excite
ment outside.
In answer to question relating to the
statements that he was intoxicated, Col
onel Colt testified that he had not entered
a saloon during the day, but on account
Of being cold in the evening surgeon
Guerin prescribed not to exceed two table
spoonfuls of stimulant, and that was all
the liquor he saw or drank at Washington
Court House. He did not see any of his
men intoxicated nor did he see liquor In
possession of any of them.
When the order to load was given in the
afternoon the crowd numbered nearly
1000 They were threatening the lives of
Sheriff Cook and himself. The men were
given positive orders when they first went
there not to enter saloons. Colonel Colt
said he was not given assistance by the
local police, and that the authority to load
and fire was found in the discretion given
to commanding officers in the regulations.

In q few years annual horse shows
will be held in every large city in the
Union. This fall sees them in Chicago,
New York and Baltimore. The one at
Baltimore was the first one given by
the Maryland Horse Show association
and was a marked success. These horse
fairs are an encouraging sign. The coun-
try has suffered since it was a country
from great host of scrub horses The
American who visits Europe is imme-
diately reminded that his own country
possesses the poorest and meanest horses
on the globe. They are weak, under sized
and lacking in the nobler equine attrib-
utes. In western Asia and in Europe
scientific horse breeding has been at
tended to for thousand years. 1t Is
only within few generations that the
subject has been generally taken up IL
this country. Even now improved horse
breeding is mostly confined to few
rich mon. The common farmer is the
man who needs to go into it and MAKE
IN oney out of it. He must be the one t.
transform the horses Of this republic
into beasts worthy to haul and carry 1
free people.

ON a wheel.

The most glorious discovery of the
nineteenth century is the bicycle. It
brings health, joy, inspiration. Mount
ed on it a man can beat the fastest horse
that ever galloped, paced or trotted.
The lone, dusty footman trudges along
enjoying the beauties of nature and
tiring himself out for the day in a tramp
of 10 or 12 miles The bioyolist flies
along enjoying the beauties Of nature,
making his 60 miles a day, and is ready
for dance at night. The bicycle does
not make corns, spread the feet out like
those of a Sudanese or wear out shoes.
1t dispels the blues and black care. 1t
gives the person who is master of it a
sense of power and freedom that nothing
else can. His lungs fill with the free
air. The very mastery over the wheel
gives him a mastery over his own
nerves, bones and muscles that makes a
gymnast of him. He feels courageous,
hopeful, full of spirit.
The bicycle is slowly Transforming our
country into land of good roads. 1t
is transforming our ladies from delicate,
timid, helpless creatures into women
strong, brave and splendid, like the
blue eyed, golden haired Teutonio ma
irons Tacitus writes about, white armed
and sturdy limbed women who could
tramp with their warriors mile for mile.
1t is making mankind aware after cen
turies that the female sex really have
feet and are going to use them 1t will
do more to develop and emancipatC
women physically than any other one
agency has done in 500 years. Glorious
is the reign of the bicycle
