No Smallpox at Agatha.

Some weeks ago a party at Melrose
was sliced with violent attack of Nez
Perez Indian itch, which engrossed his
attention so completely and pleasantly
that, in order he might not be disturbed
in his bliss, he gave it out that he had
the smallpox. Later, about four
or FIVE days ago, the direfnl news came
down from Agatha that three men had
been brought there from camp No. 3, and
isolated in a tent at Big Eddy, and that
they had subsequently died of the dread
disease.
1t now transpires that the men were
thought to have true smallpox and were
quarantined as reported; but instead OF
being thus afflicted they are simply down
with "pizen oak"

Sp0kane's Sprinkling Motor.

That is one of our troubles. Spokane's

from sorrow and tribulation as, for in

Chronicle, Wednesday: THE electric
street sprinkler has been given fair trial.
That is to say the trial has been fair
one for the sprinkler, though not en-
tirely fair to anybody or anything that
has come within its circulating radius.
A conservative estimate shows that
ninety per cent. of the people in the dis

marked by devastation as effective though
not quite as fatal, as the car Of Jugger.

Armundsen saw on the clear horizon the

Needless Misery.

There was I case of the workings of sci
ence. falsely so called, in New York few
days ago. a woman of forty-three was
told by physician that she was suffering
from enlargement of the heart, two tumors
and defective lungs and liver. She COM
mitted suicide. The coroner's physician
says that nothing was the matter with any
of these organs, and that though there was
a slight internal disease, the woman was
not seriously i'll, and would probably have
lived many years. The trouble appears to
be that the first physician did not know his
business, and the patient was nervous and
easily frightened. 1t is not necessary to as
sumo that her subsequent act WAS caused
entirely by dread of suffering, though when
one considers the prospect which she
thought she had before her, that might
we'll serve as an excuse. But it is la
mentable fact that some suicides are

the rights and powers conferred by 1t could
not be increased by a whole book OF re-

superfiuous, was in any way abrogated or
neutralized in 1884, when it was omitted.
