Dycusburg, KY, Nov. 22-Edito,

to your columns in regard to a repor,
concerning smallpox in and around
Oycusburg. Some six months 400

that disease seldom proves fatal

my diagnosis was correct. As there
are number OF cases of the same dis.
Ease here now he pronounced it small

pose there has been over one hundred
cases in and around this place and
not one death yet. In fact I have
never known chicken-pox to kill any
one in my experience of this disease
Those who have had this disease here

uation with the County Board, both
as to this case and family, and the
reported cases at Dycusburg and 81,
Fords Ferry, and fully approve all
the precautions they have recon
mended TO you and to the public,
urging in addition, that these well
considered regulations be rigidly en-
forced. | .ul ,est that an armed AZ d
reliable guard be placed at the Gle
ments' house night and day, and that
all persons living in that vicinity.
and all who have in any way been in
contact with the family be hunted out
and thoroughly vaccinated at once.
l also suggest that a physician be
sent to Dycusburg and Fords Ferry.
and if, upon investigation, it is de-
termined that the cases there are
smallpox, that all persons who have
the disease be at once insulated, all who |
have been exposed to it be at once
vaccinated and placed under observa.

has passed; mounted patrols being
placed in those sections OF the county

FOR PARIS IN 1900.

The Sentinel is in receipt from Ralph
King, one OF the saxaphone soloists OF
the Carlisle Indian school band, which
wi, be in attendance at the Paris ex-
position in 1900 large and handsome
photograph of the full band Of sixty
pieces.
Ralph King, is Of the Tonic tribe and
with companions was formerly mem
bers of the Teller institute band in this
city. The five boys who went to Car
Isle from Teller institute are all mem
bers of the band and they have a de-
lightful trip in store for them.
The former members OF the Teller in
stitute band, who are now at Carlisle
and whose faces are easily distinguish
able in the photograph are Henry Nah
tokoke, an Apache, eornet; Thomas
Morgan, Navajo, cornet; saxaphone solo
ists Ralph King, Tonic tribe and War
rem Gazzan, Uma; drums, Louis Spieche
Apache and Thomas Belts Mojave.
These boys were all prominent mem
bers of the Teller institute band and
their absence is greatly missed in the
Instrumentation Of the band. A new
organization or rather reinforcement
of the old organization has taken place
and the public can expect to hear some
good band music this summer from the
Indian boys.

LAID WAIST
BY FLOODS
levees 0iUe Way Before Rush
of Mad Waters.

Leavenworth-The heavy pressure OF
the rising waters in the Missouri river
today caused the Rock Island levee
across the river from this city, to give
way, flooding the whole expanse OF coun-
try between Beverly and East Leaven-
worth. A number OF farmers we're for
ced to fly without saving anything from
their homes.
The levee was built by the Rock Is
land railroad and the tracks on top OF it
were used by the Rock Island and the
Maple Leaf roads. The trains OF these
roads are now using the Burlington
tracks, but as the Burlington's tracks
are in the flooded district, they will
probably be covered by water before
night and all traffic shut off.
The damage, to crops and the property
of farmers will amount to thousands OF
dollars. North Ut this city the Missouri
Pacific tracks are under water and sub

THEY ARE COMING.

Rev. W. s. Wooton, pastor Of the
Friends church at Lawrence, Kansas,
was visitor at the headquarters Of the
Colorado Midland road yesterday. The
visitor is on his way to Grand Junction
and the valley Of the Grand river to re-
port upon the advisability of locating a
large colony OF Friends in the Blue
stone valley. This valley is thrifty three
miles this side OF Grand Junction and
comprises 5000 acres Of highly desira-
BILE land, capable of irrigation or for graz
ing purposes. The town Of DeBeque is
practically within the jurisdiction Of the
colony. which is probably to be brought
to this state, and if the colony comes,
it is foregone conclusion that
the saloons of De Beque must 60.
This question must be settled satisfac-
torily before final contracts are closed.

which belong" remarked Mr.. Wooten,
