Fort Bliss, Tex.-"Cracker'' John Ferris,
the veteran stage driver, who in the early
sos drove the stage on the overland route
between Independence, Mo-, and Santa Fe,
in relating some of his interesting ex-
periences to a group of friends the other
day, told this story:
The smallpox outbreak among the
Comanche Indians in the year of 1855, -

western country. carried the first news
OF that devastating plague to the out
side world. was making one of my
trips, when stopped at a small trading
post on the Neesho river. Great excite
ment prevailed because of an outbreak
OF smallpox among the Indians, who
thickly populated that section. Hundreds
Of the redskins had died.
Smallpox had up to that time been
an unknown disease among these Indians,
and the outbreak was the result of one
OF the most terrible schemes Of revenge
have ever seen recorded. In the spring
or 1880 two young men, whose names
have forgotten, went out to the plains
for the purpose of spending a few months
The object Of the trip was for the bene-
mt OF the health of one Of them They
reached Council Grove and resolved to re-
main there shore time. They decided
to get taste of buffalo hunting They
left Council Grove early one morning on
a two weeks hunt They were mounted
on good horses, which soon attracted the
dams.
"On the third day they came upon a
large herd of buffalo and had an excit-
ing chase. The invalid young man killed
one or the animals and had dismounted
70 view his prize when a big, strappfng
indian rode out Of clump of trees, shot
the White man and scalped him The com
panlon OF the murdered man saw the hOr-
rlole crime, and thinking that a Similar
tate awaited him, put spurs to his horse
and headed for Council Grove He va
closely pursued by the Indian The vbfts
man escaped and reached Council Grove
IN an exhausted condition. The compan-
ION OF the murdered man vowed To have
revenge upon the whole tribe for the fouI
deeu Whlch one OF the mem bers had com
United, and he kept his VOW

that the hospital there contained several
cases of small pox. He made the az
qualntance OF one Of the attendants of the
hospital and induced the latter to sell him

USED 70 cover the small pox patients. He
tneH DoXed the blankets and Skinned
Inem TO Council Grove. He went out and

QLsease spread rapidly and they died by
The young man who brought out and

DEMOCRACY'S NEW ERA.
It Marks the End of the Reign of Monop
 oily and Greed.


 William !. Bryan has opened fresh chapter of American history and headed the Democratic ship upon the tack on which she must hereafter sail. He has said to the American people that hence forth Democracy will not be merely s name, but an assurance of government fer the benefit of the people; that mo- nopoly and greed shall no longer shelter themselves by it; that the people are ready to take command of their own future, and that we can no longer afford to bow to the dietation of Lombard street ill cur public financial affairs
 The first chapter of our national an- nals is filled with the struggle of the masses for the right to vote without property qualification, for the freedom of the seas and the acquisition of needed neighboring territory. The second WAS disfgured by the unhappy war about slavery, the creation of an enormous public debt, the dislocation of our cur rency and the rapacity of the public creditors. The present, or third, epoch Is to be marked by the struggle of the common people to free themselves from the meshes in which the financiers have involved them, to purify our public treasury and to restore equality of rights gravely menaced. As Jefferson led the Democracy ill it's first effort. so Bryan will be at the head of the present one.
 It is new era, but it is the old De mocracy still. The Democracy never dies. It is always contending for human rights. liberties and progress. = New York News.
