was hoped that the milder climate
would aid to her recovery. The
change first appeared To improve her
health, but this condition did not last
owing to the fact that 4 complication
of diseases had set in and had already

PIKE COUNTY. MO-. SMALLPOX.
Bowling Green, the County Seat,
Placed Under Quarantine.

LOUISIANA, Mo, March 25.-It has
been currently reported here for some
days past that smallpox had broken
out about six miles south of Bowling
Green, the county seat of Pike coun-
ty, but no attention was paid to the
rumor till to- day, many prior to this
date believing that it was simply the
black measles. DIR. Wildes, a thorough
ly reputable physician of Bowling
Green, pronounced it genuine small
pox. The town of Bowling Green was
Immediately placed under quarantine,
as DIR. Wildes found fully 30 well de-
veloped cases of smallpox. The Wild
est excitement prevails in Bowling
Green and also at this place. 1t is re-
ported here this evening that all COM
with the former place will
be shut off and no one allowed to get
on or off trains.

What the Monroe Doctrine Is

tFrom the Message of President Monroe to Con
gress, Dec. 9, 1921
We owe it, therefore, to candor and
to the amicable relations existing be-
tween the United States and the allied
powers to declare that we should con-
slider any attempt on their part to ex-
tend their system to any part of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace
and safety. With the existing colo
nies or dependencies of any European
power we have not interfered and
shall not interfere; but with the gov
ernments who have declared their in
and maintained it, and
whose independence we have on great
consideration and just principles ac-
knowledged, we could not view any
interposition for the purpose of OPP
pressing them or controlling in any
other manner their destiny by any
European power in any other light
than as the manifestation of an un-
friendly disposition towards theUnited
States

FAIRS FIANCEE.
Col. Phoebe Couzins Says She Was En-
gagged Their Friendship Ripened
to Love in Chicago.

SAN Francisco, CAL, March 25.-
The late Senator James G. Fair and
Miss Phoebe Couzins, a native of st.
Louis, the well known woman's rights
advocate, were engaged to be married
and only the death of the millionaire
prevented the wedding. Miss Couzlns
is at present in San Jose. Miss Couz-
ins said she first met Fair in the Riggs
House, Washington. in 1888, and took
a liking to him at once. During the
period of her trouble with the World s
Fair Board of Lady Managers she ap-
piled to Fair for political assistance,
and while he said he had no such in
fluence, he desired her to correspond
with him. In April, 1898, she received
a letter from Fair, stating that he was
going to Chicago with serious inten-
tions of asking her hand and heart in
marriage. Fair arrived in Chicago
MAY I, and was taken i'll. Miss Couz :
ins nursed the Senator and ministered
to his wants in spite of the objections
of his secretaries. Upon his recovery
Fair asked her to be his wife, and she
consented But he was more or less
| i'll and the marriage was put off. One
evening Fair proposed trip to the
Exposition together the next day, and
that was the last time they were to-
gether.
''On the following day" said Miss
Couzins, 'sMr. Fair was whisked out
of Chicago as if he had been prize
fighter or fugitive from justice"
She received letter from him after
he returned home, and answered it
but never received another. She as
serts that their correspondence was
| intercepted.
