Smallpox and Vaccination

The prevalence of smallpox in
an epidemic form in several locali-
ties in Texas and the presence Of a
considerable number of cases in the
pest house at New Orleans make
some remarks on the subject pecu-
liarly appropriate at this time.
There is no disease more GER
tainly contagious than variola or
smallpox, and the danger to life in
this disease is always serious. In
the large majority of cases small
pox occurs but once in a lifetime.
Exceptions are we'll known, how
ever; some in which the same per-
son has had it three-it is SAID,
even five times.
Before vaccination, thousands
died annually from smallpox. Jen-
ner's introduction into professional
practice of inoculation with the
virus of cow-pox, known before his
time among dairymen, has greatly
abridged not only the destructive
ness, but the prevalence of variola-
1t is a we'll established fact that
most persons are by one good
vaccination, protected for life; that
modified smallpox, occurring in the
vaccinated, is very seldom fatal and
hardly ever pits; and that repeated
vaccination after an interval of
years, will make protection almost
always complete.
Experience shows that a small
number of persons, after several
years, reacquire the susceptibility
to smallpox. AS the only test of
this is exposure either to the latter
or to Dacclni0, the renewal of the
| latter, at least once after puberty.
is always advisable. On the occa-
sion of epidemics or possible eX
posture to smallpox, vaccination
should be repeated again and again.
1t is certain that smallpox is ex-
tremely rare in re-vaccinated per
sons, and the little discomfort at
| tending the operation cheaply prr-
chases immunity from the terrible
disease.

THE GRAND /UR YES RE-
POPT

In another column is published
the report of the Grand Jury which
was made to the court last Thurs
day.
The report shows the Offices of
the sheriff, clerk of court an1 treas
urer to be in good condition. 1t is
not SO very eulogistic, however, in
commenting upon other branches of
the parochial government.
The public schools, the report
says, are satisfactory in a modified
sense. 1t is not very explicit on
this subject, but from the wording
Of that portion Of the report, it is
to be inferred that the school affairs
Of the parish are not in the health
lest of conditions. But the Jury
makes only one charge, if it can be
called d charge, against some one
connected with the schools in the
sixth ward (Carencro), and it calls
the attention of the School Board
to the dilapida:ed condition of GER
tain school houses in this parish.
The Jury devotes a considerable
portion of its report to the Police
Jury. That body is quite severely
arraigned-or rather certain mem
bers Of that body. The meth
DDS employed by certain police
jurors in the disbursement of road
funds are criticized, and the derelict
members are warned that if they
continue to handle the public money
in this manner they will pc prose
cuted according to law. While the
general arraignment of certain mem
bers Of the Police Jury, without
specifying any particular one, is
doubtless unfair to those members
of that body who have not been
guilty of any violation of the law,
The Gazette is confident that
the Grand Jury has deemed it best
to treat this matter in a general
way, believing that specific charges
at this time would be unwise and
not calculated to obtain the de
says IN plain English that in the
future it will see to it that the
abuse of which it speaks will not be
permitted.
In this as in other matters the
Grand Jurors have shown deter
min ton to do their duty and they
are to be commended for it. The
movement inaugurated by the
Grand Jury is eminently proper.
If there is any corruption in any
branch of our parochIal govern
ment let it be probed to the bottom.
In its report the Grand Jury
seems to outline the course that it
will pursue in the future. From
the tone of its first report the peo-
pie have reason to look to it for a
conscientious and fearless discharge
of duty.

LET II. Be /NTE.S ZIC4 TED.

LET IT BE IN E.S7IC4 TED.
The Grand Jury has charged Jno.
f. Primeaux, police juror of the
fourth ward, with having obtained
public money under false pretenses.
Two indictments of this nature were
brought against Mr.. Primeaux.
A previous Grand Jury has
charged Ben Avant, LoliCe juror of
the second ward, with the embezzle-
ment of public funds.
Therefore, two members Of the
Police Jury stand charged with hav-
ing misappropriated funds that be
longed to the parish.
The honor of the Police Jury as
a body, the reputation Of the &C
cused jurors if they are innocent,
the cause of public morality and
the interests of good government
demand an early investigation into
these charges. We understand that
there will be term of court held
in the month of May, when we
trust it will be possible to try these
cases. The Gazette has no doubt
that District Attorney Gordy will
display his usual zeal and ability in
securing a speedy and thorough in
vestigatiou of these matters, and
shas he will be supported in lis
efforts by the Judge and every other
offic of the court.
These charges are of serious
character. Two men, who hold
positions OF honor and trust, are
charged with having appropriated
parish money to their own use.
Those members of the Police Jury
in whose official acts the searchlight
of the Grand Jury's investigation
has failed to disclose any flaws,
should crave for a thorough investi-
CATION Of this matter, and do all in
their power to rid that honorable
body of any members who may
prove to be unworthy.

POLICE JUROR
Indicted by the Grand Jury-TwO
Charges Made Against Him.

Last Thursday afternoon the
Grand jury reported two true bills
against Jno. f. Primeaux for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
Primeaux is the member of the Po-
lice Jury from the fourth ward. He
was elected to that office at the gen
cral election in 1896.
One of the indictments charges
that Primeaux, by false representa-
lions, induced the Police Jury to
approve an account IN favor of one
f. Willis for the sum of Sa5. so, al
legged to be due by the parish for
draining and grading on the public
roads.
1t is also charged that Primeaux
collected the amount himself, and
defraud the Police Jury
The other Indictment is of the
same nature. 1t is for having, by
false representations and pretenses,
obtained $4,000 in the name of T.
Menard, to whom the Police Jury
was induced to believe the parish
was indebted for some work done
on the roads.
Sheriff Broussard arrested Pri-
meaux Thursday night. He was re-
leased shortly after on a bond of
$500 for each offense.
Both offenses of which Primeaux
is charged are punishable in the pen
itentiary in case of conviction.

Bright Days Ahead
FOR HIS DEPARTMENT.
More Cattle Will Be Fed In
Kansas This Season
Than Ever BefOye In the His
tory of the State.
VIII Be Shipped In From the
Southern Ranges.
FOR HIS DEPARTMENT.

Mr.. c. r. Hudson, assistant general
thority for the statement that more cat
tie will be fed in Kansas this winter
than ever before in the history of the
state.
This means much from the fact that
last year Kansas was the greatest cat
tie feeding ground in the union. But
this year thousands of head more cat
tie Will be shipped into the state to feed
on the enormous supply of corn. Stock
men are already arranging to bring
stock into the state, and shipments of
cattle will commence much earlier than
usual.
Not only will feeding be done by stock
any size in the state bids fair to have
a herd of cattle this winter. This is a
probability from the fact that the COM
mission men of Kansas City are ready
to make arrangements with the Kansas
farmers for feeding small or large
punches of cattle on shares. If a farmer
wants but ten head of cattle he can go
to Kansas City and get them, and if he
wants a thousand or several thousand
head he can secure them as readily. In
feeding the cattle on the shares it is
estimated that with the low price of
corn attendant on the big crop, farmers
can make twice as much as if they dis
posed of their supply.
There was considerable feeding on the
shares done in Kansas last year, but
this winter the majority of the farmers
will take cattle on this basis.
The cattle will be shipped in from the
growing ranges of Texas, New Mexico
and Colorado, and from the developing
territories of Montana and Wyoming.

TRAMPs WERE sMooTH.
How a Party of Topeka People Were
Worked at Mcfarland.

Not many days ago a party of To-
peka people was spending the evening
at Mcfarland. In the party was a
prominent Rock Island official who may
be called Mr.. N; a gentleman of eating
house fame, who may be known as Mr.
o.; and a well known Topeka dentist
and his wife, DR.. and Mrs. A. These
four, together with several ladies and
gentlemen of Mcfarland, were enjoying
the cool of the moonlight evening and
were all seated at one end of the depot
Veranda, with the exception of a few
gentlemen, including Mr.. N. and Mr.. O.,
who were at the other end of the veran-
da enjoying a cigar and listening to the
singing of Mrs. A. who has a particu-
larly sweet voice and is a very accom-
phshed musician.
The song was finished and immedi-
ately across from the depot where a
string of empty boxcars were standing
on the sidetrack, there began a vigOr
Gus hand clapping by some eight or
nine tramps who were perched on top
of the cars. The clapping soon ceased
and two of the tramps climbed off the
cars and came towards the group Of
gentlemen. One of the tramps was tall
and slim and the other one short and
fairly fat. They were dressed in typi-
cal hobo fashion, and their actions
showed that they We're regular mem
bers of the tramp fraternity.

eral times, began on. Go Break the

Well, the way in which he rendered it
was enough to break the news to some
one. but he got through with the song,
after making several unnecessary stops
and repetitiOns and received a generous
applause, especially from the direction
of the boxcars. He was about to start
another song when Mr.. o. said, 4 guess
that will do and led the two into the
lunch room where he ordered something
for them to eat
As Mr. 0. came out and sat down,
there was a cOmmOtion in the direction
of the bOXcars and all of a sudden. all
the remaining trampS started up, Hold
the Fort for we are Coming" and sang
it through with many variations, after
which they all climbed down off the
cars and started up the road towards
the depot in single file. The train came
along just then and the Topeka people
boarded it for home, leaving the Nc
Farland people to entertain the tramps
