TREATMENT OF euBoNlo PLAGUE.
How the Dread Disease was once
Cured in India.


An interesting fact connected with the
treatment Of the bubonic plague, which
Is now devastating India, was told yes
terday by lady who Is now a resident Of
spokane, but who once lived for a num-
Der Of years In India.
4 believe" said she, that my brother
r. H. Wallace-Dunlap, was the only man
VINO ever treated the disease SUCCESSFULLY
he was not a physician, but a Judge, and
mas district embraced a large area OF
brltlsh territory. 1t must have been 30 or
% years ago when this bubonic plague
was abroad. 1t was the same as at the
present time' great black boils. breaking
out on the patient and the body turning
black after death. The plague was espec-
lalIy terrible at that time at the foot OF
the t4imalaya mountains in the north
western provinces. When a native was at
lacked his fellows would put Jar Of wa
ter beside his bed and leave him, flying
TO escape the infection. He was reck-
oned as good as dead.
My brother was anxious to try the
wet packing treatment on a case of the
plague believing It would effect a cure.
While on leave, and accompanied by a
faithful lOw-caste Htndoo, he sought out
one OF those deserted villages and there
found man left to die and suffering from
the plague
MY brother and his servant removed
the mans bed TO beside a small stream
and there proceeded to wrap him in wet
Sheets covering this packing with piles
OF blankets; the idea OF the process being
70 bring on heavy sweating. Half an
hour later the man was unrclIed and
pathed. The treatment was continued, for
TWO days, after which time the mans
recovery was rapid.
The case was the only one reported Of
cure being effected in a case Of the
plague. It was written of at length in the
London Medical papers and In other Eng
fish publications.
There is an absurd sequel to the story.
Some time afterward my brother was
holding court one day when a native en-
tered and salaaming before my brother
claimed his recognition. Securing It, the
native calmly announced that my brother
must support him to the end Of his days.
somewhat taken abaclZ, my brother asked
why. The native replied that he was the
man cured OF the plague, that his people
considered his recovery as unnatural, that
ne should have been dead and morally
was dead, hence was cast out and his peo-
pie would have nothing to do with him.
As my brother was responsible for his
cure the natives held him responsible for
mis- being cast out. The native would not
go away but insisted on being supported.
Finally on the payment of certain fees to
the Hindoo priest my brother was able to
nave the ceremonies performed which re-
admitted the man to his caste and estab-
lished his identity as a living man."

order and PROSPERITY An Cuba,


It is apparent that a return of order
and prosperity to Cuba can be secured
only by annexation to the United States,
says Fernando A. Yznaga in the Forum.
But, with the present temper of the Span
ish people, such a result would be most
difficult, II not impossible. While the
official class In Spain recognizes the fact
that Cuba is only a source Of weakness
to the mother country, the patriotic pride
Of the people would wreak its vengeance
on any party that might sanction the ces-
sion Of the island. But, could Cuba be
purchased, the advantages to this coun-
try would be enormous. A vast field for
American enterprise and capital would be
opened up. The island could easily pro-
duce not only all the sugar we consume,
but, in a few years, all the coffee. The
cession Of Cuba would also remove the
large balance OF trade against us In
CURED by the purchase Of these articles;
Tor II would open a market for at least
hundred millions Of our products.

Dainty Little Bertha Webb" is
what those who know her call this
charming young American girl, who
is to be here at the concert of the
famous Innes band, on Tuesday after
noon and evening, June 1st, at Wheel
ing Park Casino. AS everyone knows.
Miss Webb is a violinist. 1t is not,
however known TO all that she plays
upon a violin which is said to have
cost some $2.CCO. Some public favor
ties make special fads of diamonds.
Others spend their lives in the anx-
ietes consequent upon the care or
pet dog
Little Miss Webb, however, knows no
other care than that involved in the
necessary care Of her valuable violin.
If you talk with Miss Webb for fifteen
minutes she will relate TO you more
hairbreath episodes relating to her ia
nous instrument than could an old
time scout in telling of his Indian
fights. AS matter of fact the instru-
ment was apparently lost on one occa-
sion. but was recovered after a delay or
a couple of hours. Since then, however,
Miss Webb takes her violin into meals
with her. sleeps with it, and is even
accused by her intimates of taking it
with her when she attends divine wor-
shin. Miss Webb will perform Sara
safes famous Faust Fantasia dur
ing her coming engagement. The other
soloists who will be heard with the
the band are Nine. Rosa Linde. con-
tralto. and Mr.. Emil Keneke. who Is
said to be the greatest cornet sololst
in America.

TO BE ENDED TO- DAY
The Board of Public Works Will
Make Visit to the Wharf This
Morning and VIII Decide Upon the
Location Of the Wharf BOat--Will
Likely Remain Where 1t Is-~The
Complaints Of River Men.

The dispute existing between the
owners of the wharfboat on one side
and the captains of the Lexington and
Ruth. and the wharfmaster on the 9th
er. in regard to the location of the
wharfboat. will be settled this morn
ING. The Board of Public Works, in
whom the authority is vested to decide
where the Wharfboat shall lie, Will
make visit to the wharf and decide
the matter. There is hardly any doubt
but that they will permit the boat TO
lie where it is. as the business men,
whose teams and wagons go over the
wharf every day, have been requesting
Messrs. Crockard & Booth for a long
time to move the boat further down.
The Board of Public Works has the
authority. as stated before, and the
wharfmaster has the right TO decide
where steamers shall land. Conse-
ouentlv the wharfmaster is not Off
ciallv concerned in the matter. II the
wishes of the public are considered
the wharfboat will not be changed, for
tbree-fourths Of all the freight shipped
and received by river is taken to and
from the wharfbOat OF course, it is
natural for the local boats 10 object,
as the moving of the wharfboat compels
them TO land some distance above,
where thew have heretofore making
landings and will cause teams to go
farther in getting and unloading freight
and the Lexington are the only boats
that do not transact their freight bus
mess through the wharfboat, and con-
seouently are the Gully boats that are
not strictly benefited by the change.

HE LATE GEORGE NJ. VARNEY.
The News of His Death Received at the
Riverside with Universal sorrow.

The news Of the death Of George NJ.
Varney was received al the big plant of
the Riverside Company in Benwood, with
a sorrow never before manifested at the
death OF any empoye. Hundreds of men
gave expression of their deep regret, and
some even shed tears when they wre as
surcd that their friend and fellow work
man was no more. SO universal was the
mourning, that there was a decided dis
position to close down the plant and attend
the funeral in a body The employees will
be represented at the funeral this after
neon by three magnificent floral pieces.
Mr.. Varney was chief engineer at the
tube works, at the time OF his death as
he was when elected to the superinten-
doncy of the city water works, over four
years ago. He went to the Riverside in
1856. and no man in the employ of the
Company was more popular with both Of
iicers and workmen, and the sentiments
Of sorrow so universally entertained and
so generally shown Monday and yester-
day were alike creditable to the mill force
and to the deceased. He will be long re-
momberod by his fellow workmen.

The Board Of Public Works met yester-

for the new flooring for the Market

together worth cent, taking the wide
range of $50 for the lowest to over 1900
for the highest which showed some free
and easy figuring The contract was given
TO Kunst & Phillips. of New Martinsville,
whose bid was the lowest.
William Humes was elected sidewalk in
spector.
There was a strong delegation of river
men present for ard against the permits
sion given the owners of the wharfboat 10
remove TO the foot Of Twelfth street.
The wharfmaster and owners of several
small packets are dissatisfied with the re-
moval, while the wharfboat people and
those interested in the big boats favor it..
The smaller boats have threatened TO re-
fuse to pay wharfage unless the wharfboac
is removed back to the old position, and
there is quite a time generally. The Board
heard all the various statements. and then
postponed a decision until to-day. when
they will visit the wharf and make a
personal examination. The controversy is
more particularly set forth elsewhere.
