He HAS SMALLPOX.
A Cook on the Northern Pacific Put on
at Helena.

at Helena.
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, July 27.-James Archie, a
cook en- a Northern Pacific dining car,
was put off here last night from the
eastbound passenger train sick with
smallpox. A policeman took him III
tow and sent him to the city Jail. He
spent the day in a dark cell, and to-
night was removed to the county pest
house.
The case created something of a sem
sation and considerable Indignation on
the part of the public. There are a
number of versions of the manner in
which Archie came to be left at Helena,
and afterwards sent to the city Jail.
Whether amy one with whom the sick
man came in contact caught the dis
ease remains to be seen. He is a young
man and was making his first trip. He
was all right when he left Seattle. The
disease is said to have become marked
as the train approached Montana. Just
why he was brought here, when, it is
claimed, it was known at Missoula that
he had smallpox, is a question that is
puzzling the health authorities. 1t is
understood the dining car was set out
somewhere east Of here. Local doctors
have been pretty busy vaccinating peo-
pie, who fear the worst as a result of
the folly Of taking a smallpox case
through town and exposing no end of
people to the contagion.

AN OLD TIMER.-A crowd of young
men were seated in one of the steam
boat Offices in the city the other after
noon while an old steamboat veteran
regaled them with stories about old
times on the Mississippi and reminis-
cences of the old time citizens.
"Did you know old Bill Jones?' ask
ed one of the men, after the captain
had finished relating how he ran a
gauntlet of Indians with his boat way
back in the forties.
"Member Bill Jones? Well, I guess
I did," replied the captain. "Let's see,
he died just after the war. He was a
good old fellow too. I knew his father
before he was married to Bills moth
er."
One of the boys thought the old man
was "doping," and by way of tripping
him up on his dates asked, "Cap, how
long have you been running on the
river ?"
"Who, me? Why started on the
Mississippi when it was nuthin but
creek !"-Memphis Scimitar.
