DIPHTHERIA.
Two More Cases Reported and Another
Suspicious.

A flag was placed at the residence of
Agent Charles Clark today. DR.. Stew
ems having pronounced the Ease diph-
iberia. The little girl is getting along
nicely and will soon be well. She has
been kept isolated with an attendant
for several days and therefore no one
has been exposed. Mr.. Clark has kept
himself aloof from her since she was
f1rsts taken down and there is no
danger Of contracting the disease
through him He has been sleeping
away from home.
Mrs. Buffum is rapidly convalescing,
but the little girl, Eduma. has exuda-
tions on both tonsils and all the symp-
toms of diphtheria.
1t is also reported that Ella Slack
was sent home from the public schools
yesterday with a sore throat. AS she
was at the Buffum residence during the
illness of little Cecil, it is presumed
that she also has the d%iphtheria.
DR.. Stevens today received the fol-
lowing self-explanatory communication
from Denver:
City OF Denver. Bureau of Health,
Nov. %, 1S97.-Dr. II. L. Stevens, Lara
mic, Wyo. Dear Doctor: | received
from DR.. Lyman this morning a pack
age containing a bottle with a piece Of
membrane, supposedly diphtheria. He
has already t~elegraphed you that the re-
suit of the microscopic examination
leaves no doubt that it is really diph-
iberia. I have got to make a culture,
but fear that the membrane may have
been put in alcohol, or some antiseptic
which would prevent the development
Of the diphtheria bacillus in culture and
for this reason I send you a culture
outfit.
I will report to you the result, but
this is only by way Of confirmation, as
the microscopic examination in this
instance gives a undoubted, positive
result.
Yours sicerely,
H. C. CROUCH,
Psychologist City Health Department
and State Board Of Health.
The membrane sent had no alcohol
or anteseptic about it, but was put into
about Is drops Of pure Laramie water
and the doctor will doubtless find it
satisfactory and obtain a culture.

A DIME FOR DIGESTION,
THE WAY TO HELP YOUR STOMACH OUT
OF DIFFICULTY.

When you are taken sick with pain
in your stomach or chest, nausea, vom-
ting, headache, dizziness. nervous
ness. neuralgia, flatulence, cOnstipa-
ton, mental depression, weakness,
anguor, loss of appetite and other
similar symptoms, you are infected
with the poisons of undigested food.
Your stomach needs help.
A dime spent for sample bottle of
the Shaker Digestive Cordial will show
you whether or not to expect help
from that source.
If you really are a dyspeptic it will
relieve you after a few doses. If it
does, keep on till you're cured. If
not, don't take any more; you're no
dyspeptic.
Indigestion or dyspepsia is dread
full disorder; all the more that so few
people believe in Its dangerOusness.
That is because they don't die of in
digestion, but of rheumatism. CON
sumption, pneumonia and other dis
eases which they would never have
Caught" if their bodies hadn't been
starved and weakened with indIges-
ton.
Shaker Digestive Cordial acts on the
food in your stomach and helps the
digestive juices to dissolve it. In this
way it aids yonr stomach to do its
work without effort and creates new
strength and life for your whole body.

A QUEER LITTLE ANIMAL.
The Australian Duckbin Carries Sting
In One Leg.


Australia certainly holds the palm for
queer and uncouth animals, says The
Literary Digest. Chief among these is
the duckbill or ornithorhynchus, which
Sydney Smith described as ga kind of
mole with webbed feet and the bill of
duck, which agitated Sir Joseph Banks
and rendered him miserable from his
utter inability to decide whether it was
a bird or a beast. " 1t was only recently
that it was proved beyond doubt that
this curious animal lays eggs like a
bird, though this had long been reported
by travellers. Now comes the news that
it has sting ON its hind leg, capable of
killing by its poisonous effects. We
quote from The Lancet:
For long time it was considered to
be quite harmless and destitute of any
weapon of otfense, although the hind
legs of the males were armed with
powerful spur, apparently connected
with gland. Then the opinion was ad-
vanced that this might be a weapon al
lied to the poisonous armory of snakes,
scorpions and bees, all of which possess
a sort of hypOdermic poison syringe
Though one set of observers asserted
that this was the case, another set de-
MED it, and so DR.. Stuart determined to
solve this question, if possible. He re-
ceived two independent accounts which
conceded perfectly, and from them he
concludes that, at certain seasons at all
events, the secretion is virulently poi
sonous. The mode of attack is not by
scratching, but by lateral inward move
ments of the hind legs. Two cases are
reported in dogs. One dog was 'stung'
three times, the symptoms much resem.
bling those of bee or hornet poison. The
dog was evidently in great pain and
drowsy, but there were no tremors, con-
vulsions or staggering. 1t is worthy of
note that a certain immunity seems OBJ
ttd11dbtie, fur the dog suffered less Oh the
second occasion and still less on the
third. Two cases of men being wounded
arc reported, i'll both of which the ami
mails We're lrritated, one by being shot
and handled, the other by being handled
only. The symptoms were the same as
i'll the dog. No deaths are reported in
human beings, but four i'll dogs"

The dysFeptic carries dreadful
load on his back. 1t seems as If he
were really made up Of two men. One
of them ambitious, braIny and ener-
getIc; the other sick, istless, peevish
and without force. The weak man
weighs the other man down. The dys-
peptic may be able to do pretty good
work one day, and the next day be-
cause of some little indIscretion in
eating, he may be able to do nothing at
all. Most cases of dyspepsia start with
constipation, Constipation is the
cause of nine-tenths of all human sick
ness. Some of its symptoms are sIcH
and bilious headache, dizziness, sour
stomach, loss of appetite, foul breath,
windy belchings, heartburn, pain and
distress after eating. All these are
indicative of arrangement of the liver,
stomach and bowels and are all caused
by constipation. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets are the quickest, easiest and
most certain cure for this condition,
They are not violent in action.

young, sad faced woman, who said

recently. She wanted him to assist her

refinement about her features, and her

1t was her extraordinary statement
rather than her manner that led Officers
Kennel and Mahen to regard her as a
"crank" and refused to permit her to
see the mayor.
She declared she had been removed
from her home without an order of
court and sent to the Connecticut in
stitution, where she was kept for eight
months. Her relatives, she believed,
had conspired against her so as to secure
control of large sum of money which

NAVAL BOATS Fl.OrlLLA.
Torpedo Boat Fleet VIII Drill Like the
White Squadron.


White Squadron.
Lieutenant Commander W. W. Kim
ball has been selected to organize flo
tilla comprising all the torpedo boats of
the navy. Lieutenant Commander Kim
ball will also take command of the flo
tilla after its organization.
This is the first attempt to mobilize
these smaller vessels into fleet, or
mosquito navy, as valuable in it's place
as the heavy battleships and armored
cruisers.
The torpedo boat is fitted better than
any other kind of craft to be a guardian
OF narrow passes, patrol of shallow wa
tiers or sentinel of navigable rivers and
bays. Her light draft renders it possible
for her to penetrate far inland on the
rivers. She may go to the great lakes
through the Erie canal.
The torpedo iotilla will include tho
new destroyers. Capable of speed of
30 miles an hour and armed with torpe-
do tubes and 6 Founders, these are
formidable foes.
During the summer months extensive
evolutions will be practiced. Lieutenant
Commander Kimball will decide upon
their nature and extent The location
is also matter that must be deter
mined.
Whatever form the evolutions may
take, they will call for cool heads and
quick and steady nerves. These require
ments must be fulfilled not only by
officers, but also by engineers, seamen
and even stokers.
The fleet that Lieutenant Commander
klmball will command will consist of
30 boats The instruction boat Stiletto
will join it. So will the four vedette boats
of the Maine and Texas, which were to
have been carried on the decks of those
ships, but proved too heavy The Hol-
land submarine boat will be one of tho
fiotilla
There are 10 others, including the
new destrOyers, six in number.

FIRST SUNDAY SCHOOL.
John Wesley's In Georgia Antedates Rob
ert RaiIles' Fifty Years.

In recOunting the ministrations of
John Wesley i'll Georgia, where the fa-
nous preacher sowed the first seeds of
Methodism i'll America, the Rev. W. J.
Scott, ID. D., i'll The Ladies' Home
journal, claims that Wesley established
the first Sunday school i'll the world at
Savannah. In connection with his 9TH
er labors, which We're indeed prodigious,
Wesley, soon after his arrival i'll Geor-
gla, i'll 1916, began to provide for the
Sunday school instruction of the chill
dren of the parish. His devotion to chill
dren at times almost amounted to in
fatuation. Children were likewise equal
ly attached to him, as shown in their
intercourse with him. Both on week
days and Sabbaths he gave no little at,
tention to educational work. AS pre-
llminary labor on the Sabbath before the
evening service he required them to
convene i'll the church, at which time
he catechised them thoroughly and fur
nlshed them with additional teaching
from the Bible itself.
In the present Wesleyan Memorial
church Ill Savannah there is Sunday
school room into which hundreds of
children crowd for Sunday instruction.
The original school was less i'll number,
but it was unquestionably the first Sun
day school i'll the world. When taught
by Wesley, 1t numbered between GO and
20 scholars, but from all accounts there
We're few if any Indian boys in his ear
lier classes. a very high authority, Sir
Charles Reed, M. p, LII. d., of Eng
land, is clearly of the opinion that this
Sunday school was the first founded i'll
the world, and that it antedates by a
half century the secular instruction of
Robert Raikes at Gloucester, England,
as well as the first school in America
upon Raikes plan which was estab-
lished i'll the city of New York.

It's most time the women had a
chance to express desire to meet
the ideal man whose wings are not
perceptlble. A few of us have decid-
ed opinions regarding him, and we are
on the lookout for him. 1t may sur
prise the masculine mind to learn that
the average woman demands manli-

be honorable IN all that the word i'm
