Formally Opened.

Gu THURSDAY afternoon the two larg-
eat and most fashionable receptions
ever given In Meeker took place In the
new rectory Of St. James church. The
hours in the afternoon from 3 until
o'clock we're devoted to the ladies, and
from until 10 O'Clock to the men.
Mrs. Lewis Boyd walbridge. Mrs
Charles T. Carney. Hiss Anna A. RYAN
and the Rev. II. A. Handel acted as the
reception committee and welcomed the
lady visitors as they entered the rectory.
Refreshments were served In the dining
room by Mrs. r. Oldlsnd, Mrs. David
Smith, Mrs. E. p. Grove and Mrs. a.
Oldland. Over fifty ladies' were present
In the afternoon and about thirty gen
tlemen in the evening.
A goodly sum WAS realized by means
OF box placed at the dining room door
with an inscription placed on 1t "Con-
tributions for the building Fund" Ii
is thought that the whole debt on the
building will be cleared on by the end
Of September.
Now a word or two regarding the
rectory: 1t contains three good sized
rooms, with snowy white walls and cell
ings and oil finished woDd work. Each
room Is handsomely and appropriately
furnished, the walls in particular being
well decorated with select paintings,
engravings and other works of art.
Taken all in all II is very valuable ac-
QUESTION TO the church property, and
reflects great credit upon the rector in
charge. Were 1t not for his coming to
our midst this new structure would not
have been built-pot for several years at
least. il at all.
Rev. Handel intends to keep "open
house" for the young people during the
winter months. thereby giving them a
place where they may spend and while
away many a moment in pleasure and
amusement.

A In GOrllan Land.

The Steamboat Pilot publishes all
article from the Denver Post, and pre-
ludes it with the remark that it "smacks
SO much of Gordan Land that one would
almost think that that old fraud, instead
of 10 Swan, was responsible for 1t. II
gives rise to the suspicion that Mr..
Swan has begun to talk to hold his job
as Land used to do. If the honorable
game commissioner thinks for minute
that the game law is being violated SO
ruthlessly by the settlers, let him come
over here, and his mind will be discussed
Of any snch idea. Until he knows what
he is talking about we suggest In all
kindness that he hlodLis peace.
1.-The fact of the matter is that the
law is generally respected by settlers
throughout this section, and the threat
to not molest tourist and Indion vio-
lators, owing to fancied grievance
against the settlers, is mighty poor
talk, coming from a state officer. II
looks as though he was discountine
failure when the annual Indian raid
takes place.
I'VE say again, If Mr.. Swan believes
the law is being violated intLe manner
he says. let him come over here and
inform himself before he casts reflec-
tons upon the settlers of tiis section. ~

Traces of Past Grandees.

Madrid is a very disappointing city in
appearance. The palaces Of the grandees
are dreadfully dilapidated. The French
knocked them about SO when they in
vaded Spain that it is almost impossible
to get an idea Of what they were like in
their PALMER days. There are few
magnificent buildings but these are the
exception. The mobiles are poor and
can no longer hold a candle to the once
unriyaled Spanish grandees. The upper
classes do not GO in very largely for
education, and are often curiOusly
ignorant. They look upon Madrid as
the center Of the universe, and very
seldom leave their native land. The
city abounds in slums which can beat
even those OF whitechapel. There are
labyrinths Of narrow old streets, boE-
dered by the most uninviting hovels
Here one sees wild looking invividuals
In the merest rags and beggar Gypsies
in gaudy tattered fnery. These sIums
are the happy hunting grounds Of the
ferocious mobs which are the bane of
Madrid.-London Sketch.

YELLOW FEVER.
Thought to De Due to . Particular
MirrDbe.

Thought to De Due to . Particular
Microbe.
The disease which has this year
brought so much distress to the people
of the south il one that has baftied
physicians and Investigators for exact
ly three and half centuries. The first
authentic account we have of an
epidemic of yellow fever is of one that
occurred in Barbados in 1647, and the
following year we first hear OF it at
Havana. 1t is in Havana that most OF
the cpide,rics suffered in this country
have originated.
There are now three parts of the
world where the disease is always pres
ent, the West Indies, Brazil, and the
| west coast of Africa, but we do not
know where it came from originally.
We know that it was taken to Rio de
Japeiro from New Orleans or Havana
about so years ago, but whether it came
in the first place from the west coast
! of Africa. or was carried there from
the West Indias in slavers returning
| for fresh cnrgoes cannot now be deter
mined.
Yellow fever is contagious disease
which never invades regions outside its
permanent homes in any other way
than through infected. persons or
things.
Many physicians who have studied
the disease in Havana and elsewhere
believe that it is spread from the sick
to the well through the agency OF
mosquitoes or other winged insects. 1t
| rs not. improbable that this is one way
in which the virus is carried, for the
hypothesis would account for the ap-
pearances of yellow fever in places quite
shut off from all apparent means OF
infection.
For example. the disease appeared
this year in Baton Rouge in spite Of the
most rigid quarantine against the out
side world. It is possible, Of course
that some one may have evaded the
quarantine guards, but It IL more
probable that mosquitoes or die
cnrried the germs IN their bodies.
1t has long been believed that yellow
fever, like other contagious or fnfec'
tisus diseases. due to the presence OF q
special mlcrobe, but no one could find il
until few months ago, when 1t was
discovered by DR.. sanarelli, an Italiar
physician in Montevideo.
Not only has he found the germ oi
yellow fever, but 1t is said that he hn.
also elaborated a vaccine which will
protect as surely against this disease
as vaccination protects against small
pox. Should this prove true it would be
of incalculable benefit to all tropical
America, for the chief obstacle to the
development of this vast and lovely por-
ton of the earth is the yellow fever
which repels the energetic Anglo
Saxon--Youth's Companion.
