SMALL-PoX is one OF the most loath-
some of diseases, and for that reason and
the necessary ISOLATION required for pa
tients, Is one OF the most dreaded. In
point OF fact, however, there are very
many diseases more fatal, the percen-
tage Of deaths from smallpox being
far below those from typhoid fever,
diphtheria, scarlet fever. pneumonia
and dozen others. In 700 smallpox
cases in Ohio, officially reported, there
were only 10 deaths and the experience
OF Richmond, Middlesboro and the
towns that suffered last winter, show
even lower percentage. Every man
feels that he might be the one To die
from the disease and consequently takes
no risks that be can avoid. Fear OF
catching IL has kept the country people
away this week aud the streets have
looked like those OF town, whose mer.
chants do not advertise. Business of
all kinds Is at a stand-still and this in
Fiction taken with the recent long bliz.
zard has had very serious effect on
the merchants and others.
We have never had as quiet time
in our Office as at present. No one calls
and the exchanges are always just
where we leave them. There Is some
advantage In this, but we hope our
friends will not entirely desert us.
There is no danger here, the doctors
say. So come To see us and bring your
pocket full OF "rocks."
A wild rumor was circulated last
night that Babe Hansford, colored
man, had the smallpox. DR.. Bailey
was sent To investigate, when he found
that Babes head was as big AS a half
bushel from the effects of a blow from
brick that another Negro "frowed'
at him.
There are 20 new small pox cases
and the doctors think there will be no
epidemic. Every precaution is being
used 10 prevent spread and. fervent
prayers that IL will not are being sent
up.
Rumor came TO town that three Me-
groes In the Deep Well Woods" had
been stricken with the disease. Inves-
tigation proved that the story was false
In toto.
DIR. Bailey tells us that J. Ii. sowder,
who is the only small pox patient here,
is in the postular stage and quite sick
] at present, but not seriously.

venience on that account.

Although the various transcontinental
lines have buried the Ratchet SO far as
through rates are concerned, there is a
prospect of sharp fight for the Kootenay

road and the Northern Pacific. The for.
mer threw down the gauntlet with $3.50
cut, and this has been promptly met by
the rival line.
