22ND KANSAS BETTER.
Measles Epidemic is Thought to Have
About Ended.

Camp Alger, Va, June 2.-The Twen-
ty-second Kansas is getting a little
more comfortable in it's quarters. One
more case of measles was developed to-
day, and the patient was sent to the
hospital, but the surgeons now believe
that this will be the last.
Much milk is brought to camp and
all this is inspected by the surgeons
before being allowed to be sold.
An old darky was asked jokingly
whether he had any tuberculous cows
on his place. Doubtless believing that
this referred to some fine breed of cat
tie, he replied:
"'Deed 1 has, boss; every one Nv

The diptheria scare last week was
something like the cholera rights can
remember in the early ffties here when
we all fed for safer parts. There was
three cases reported at the Lucille Home
and one lin private family when i'm.
mediately a panic eDsued and fully sixty
people left. One little girl at the home,
Maude Slaton, from Breckenridge coun-
| ty six years old died, but doctor PuseY
reported pneumonia with diptheria. Lit
tie Maude was a sweet, affectionate little
tot and will be missed, especially by lit
| tie Mabel, her sister. Their mother
came up to see them but not until little
Maude had closed her eyes forever and
the little lips could not lisp mamma"
for whom she grieved Just as other litGle
ones would do. Anti Toxine has been
used and the cases at the Home and one
other are relieved. No new cases and
the feeling has subsidized.
Nancy Hanks, one of the Messengers
brightest stars, has dipped her quill In
vitriol to score the evangelist, Sam P.
Jones. She is honest, she is candid and
admire her. She could take Mr.. Ger
AIDS vacant chair in the office of the
Iconoclast and WELD the lamented
Brann's pen. But Nancy you did cause
me TO smile when you said you wanted
the delectable Sam to preach the gospel
from the high standard of Talmage and
the late Henry Ward Beecher. Talmage
is as sensational in his manner Of pre-
senting the gospel and as peculiar in his
appeals to the people as the noted evan
gelist-only he handles his adjectives
and adverbs to modify differently. In
many Of his sermons he makes some Of
the broadcast, boldest most subtle insinu-
atoms ever read. He clothes his ideas
in sensational high flown and far fetched
SMILES and metaphors His whole"plane"
is one of hyperbole, and when you sum
up any one OF his discourses you will find
it a Ia Sam Jones couched in little more
permissible rhetoric. And Henry Ward
Beecher Peace to his ashes Sam
Jones freely admits he was half hog and
half man till twenty-four but after that
by the power OF God he was Tegenerated
and has since stood as whole man. Henry
Ward Beecher always posed as fault
less, spotless, immaculate latter day saint
till brought before the world in the most
scandalous court proceedings that ever
darkened a docket. To rehearse the
evidence and the trial would cause the
blush Of shame TO mantle the cheek Of
any Christian in the land Anything
but "wolf in sleeps clothing,
thing but "whited sepulcher without
and within uncleanness," anything but
religion for cloak. Sam Jones has felt
the sting OF sin. He is prepared TO deal
with II in its own technical terms. He
is reaching all classes rich, poor, high
and low. The only difference between
him and Talmage he uses the straight
out phrase, blunt language, while De-
Witt whips his Satanic Majesty round
