CASE OF LEpRosY.
A Girl In PnlO Alto County Has the
Awful Disease.

Awful Disease.
DIR. J. H. Kennedy, secretary of the
state board of health, returned to Des
Moines from Graettinger, where he was
sent by the house of representatives to
investigate reported cases of leprosy.
When DIR. Kennedy arrived at Graet-
finger he was taken to the home of
Charles Peterson, a Norwegian farmer,
living some six miles west of that little
village. Having made study of the
disease, DR.. Kennedy saw at a glance
that Peterson's daughter was n leper.
DR.. Burdick, of Graettinger, DR.. Bald
win. of Ruthven, and DR.. Davis, of EN-
metsburg, all agree in the diagnosis of
the case.
The mother of the stricken girl died
of leprosy in Norway. When the girl
was two years old her mother was
stricken with the disease and was taken
to the hospital for lepers, where she
died without again seeing her daughter.
Now, almost six years later, germs Of
the disease which have been dormant
in her system for six years. have ma
tured and she is suffering from this
awful plague, for which there is no
cure. Peterson has been taking milk
to the creamery, has been hauling his
produce to Graettinger, and the neigh
bors have visited the family without re-
straint, so that it is possible that the
disease has been communicated to
others, but as to whether or not this is
true time only can tell. The patient
will be isolated at once. The state board

Governor Tyler said In his inaugural
address yesterday:
Virginia would set a noble example TO
her sister States of this Union and be
worthy Of q leaders, place IN the future
which she 80 erandly held in the past,
" she would forever set the seal OF her
condemnation upon the bold ehrontery OF
those who would debauch the people
suffrages. ana pervert their viii by the
shameless use Of money and the power
OF combination Influence. Here lies the
grayest menace 10 our republic. Ana in
taking upon myself tho eNacting duties
of this high station ! would feel derelct
in those duties at the very outset, If !
ala not ask TIE Legislature Of my state
To cooperate with me On making offenses
Of this kind so clearly within the penal
code as TO deter an vould-0c offenders.
Thus only can we Keep clean the fair
name of our state and make public Ques-
tons worthy OF debate and Investigation,
ana arrive at legitimate conclusions.
Thus only can we keep in tho councils o.
tho state her upright citizens. 1 know

come up with me to these halls or lesls-
latio, 10 devise measures for the best

the people Of Virginia are in such hearty

20 see that the voice Of the people and
not the mandates Of these combines are
spoken at the polls. I'm this way only
can we keep the political atmosphere OF

III nourishment for race Of lofty men
and noble women.
Amen. say We. and amen. Let us have
an honest suffrage, and let those who
would debauch it be apprehended and pun

plete reforms. Governor Tyler Let us
punish not only the bribe-giver, and the

that will root out every species Of cleo

WHY THE NORTH Is INDIFFERENT.

Tho Providence OR. j. Journal says
that the people OF the North look com
placently on the schemes that are being
carried on in the South 10 disfranchise
the negro and that many Notherners ex-
press their approval OF these changes be-
cause they realize that negro suffrage has
not been the success that was hoped.
This being Interpreted means that
the Republicans OF the North have
learned that the negro vote in the South,
instead OF being q beneh, TO the party,
has had the effect TO keep the entire South
IN the Democratic column. But FOR the
negro vote. the whites Of the South would
long ago have divided on economic ques-
lions and there would have been in every
Southern State at least a respectable Re-
publican minority with chances in some
o. the states. every now and then. Of a
Republican victory
This would have been better for all con-
cerned. Cor if there is one thing that The
South needs to-day it is prudent re-
spectacle ana honest opposition IN each
and every State TO tho dominant party.

The value Of an exports for tho year

this that the value Of exports in 1891 has

This Is a remarkable exhibit ana goes 20
