SMALL POX BOYCOTT
Every Day Is Sunday Now at
Augusta.
PEOPLE W0N'TTRADE THERE
Town Has Run Out of Eggs,
Butter and Vegetables.

The smallpox scare at Augusta has
brought the people of that place right up
facing a realization of the prophecy of
the ditty. Every day'll be Sunday bye
spread that there was smallpox in Au-
gusta has been Sunday boiled down and
nailed I'D.
People won't come in from the country
to trade. and there are no eggs, butter
nor vegetables in the place worthy of men,
tlon. There are only a few struggling
teams on the street People in the cum
try won't let their town friends make
them a visit A great many have left
Augusta to stay till the danger is over
and great many more would go if the
country people had not issued sweeping
orders for a strict barricade. The post
Office is piled up full of mail which no.
body wants. for the fear of smallpox has
infested every letter and paper with dis
ease microbes that to the people in the
outer rural districts are no better than
lICOp VI S6llON-HdlIcU nuns lul4Cu iOOSc.
TIE town people have been lined up at the
Doctors Office for vaccination till 1t looked
like a ticket sellers yard at a big show.
Probably 500 people have had the vaccine
pus injected into their arms.
But in all probability there is no more
smallpox there than there is in Wichita
or FL Dorado or any of the towns in
southern Kansas.
Henry Dewitt, an Augusta boy, went
down to Newkirk a few weeks ago and
after he returned home his face broke
out with red blotches such as hundred
Newkirk people have who drink the strong
alkaH water found in certain sections near
Newkirk. A year and q half ago Newkirk
had a great smallpox scare from the same
cause. 1t passed in few weeks and the
breaking out of the blotches on the face
was said to be due to alkaH poison.
Henry De Witt If he has smallpox. is
the liveliest patient that ever had hat
disease, so far as known He is quar-
antined but he sits out on the back porch
at home and smokes and appears to be
perfectly satisfied.

auctions of the farms OF the state and
the unprecedented period of prosperity its
people are now enjoying were followed by
evidences of keenest pleasure. and allus-

siasm.

Musselman of this city IS as follows:
New York. Sept. 8. 1899.
Dear Joe and Al-Your draft came just
as we were becoming nervous, for our
steamer is to leave tomorrow morning and
we did want just one more taste of Uncle
Sans coin before we left the States.
You may say good bye to all our friends
and tell them that we will occasionally
send them word OF our movements
through the Eagle. We desire 70 place
Wichita always first, 50 we will hurry on
to Paris as soon as we land and will then
be the earliest Wichitans on the sight of
the coming worlds fair-that is if we DO
land, and We think we will. for we are
going by one Of the finest steamers Of the
Wilson line, which goes direct to Antwerp.
Mail us our high school diplomas direct
to Paris. We will need them in the uni
versity.
when we talked with a jolly man to-
day at the ticket office. he smiled over his
glasses at US and told us he was an Eng

MAYOR JONES ON THE LOWEST BID
SYSTEM.


One of the lions at the working
mems dollar Jeffersonian dinner in
New York. was Mayor Jones, of To-
ledo, the socialist head of that munich
pality. In his address advocating pub
lie ownership of public utilities, he
made an attack upon that hitherto
sacred thing, the municipal State and
national contract system, by which
public work is let, as Mayor Jones puts
it, ito that ideal robber, the lowest
bidder" He says that "this law would
seem to have been framed especially
for the benefit of those who are capable
of influencing, purchasing and brib-
ing boards, departments or legisla-
lures" He added:
1.-The popular idea, of course, IS that it
has been framed in order to give the
community the most work for the least
money, but in practice it works in exact
ly the opposite direction, for, as l have
already minated. it is the contractor S
business not to see how cheaply he can do
the work, and do it we'll, but the first
consideration is to see how much he can
get for doing it, and the next is how very
little he can pay the laborer and how
poorly he can do the work in order to in
crease his profits.
1.-The result of this unscientifc system
is damaging and destructive in innumer-
able ways; the most direct of all proceed
ing from it is the wholesale robbery of
labor that it leads to. Instead of afford
ing the free competition that it's advocates
claim for it, it has been shown by practi-
cal experience that the inevitable result
of the system is monopoly through a
combination Of business interests into
rings, combines and trusts.
Where in a single instance the monop-
oily fails, as sometimes occurs, the result
then is the wholesale robbery Of the labor
er. In one city of Ohio last year the con-
tractors failed to "get together in BID
ding for the work of a large sewer. The
warfare between them was bitter and the
contract was finally let at a figure so low
as to threaten to ruin the man who Sc
the greed that had been developed by the
competitive system, the man shifted the
consequences of his wrong doing to the
them by the day at a living wage, he put
them in competition with each other for
the privilege of digging the sewer by the
lineal foot with the result, as 1 was told
by the civil engineer of the city, that the
poor laborers who dug the sewer received
less than fifty cents a day for their pay
And this is freedom! This is under the
best government on earth. This is liberty,
is it? Liberty OF what? Liberty to live on
crust and live the life of a dog"
This evil is one of the many to be re-
formed by public ownership of public
works and utilities.
Mayor Jones's speech created re-
markable enthusiasm. Little short of
astounding is the progress made in the
very recent past by the doctrine of pub
lie ownership. Everywhere has it met
with apparently unanimous approval
by the people and there is every rea-
son to believe that in the near future
it will sweep this country with whirl-
wind force. 1t is the beginning of the
struggle for relief from the Unsuitable
greed Of private monopoly.

HEROES IN SHIPS.

We are familiar with tales Of hero
Ism on the field of battle and more
familiar with the sublime daring and
bravery often exhibited in our midst
by gallant fire-fghters. But heroism is
not confined to any branch of service
or class of men. Indeed, it would seem
that whenever the occasion arises the
hero arises spontaneously to meet it.
The latest example of this was fur
nished by the recent fire in the peni-
tertiary on Blackwells Island, New
York. the top floor of which is used as
hospital. Fire broke out in the day.
time, fortunately, while many of the
convicts were at work outside the
building. The blaze was not discov-
cred, however, until it had gained
great Roadway, and it looked as if the
sick in the hospital on the top floor
were doomed.
The penitentiary officials quickly
marshalled the convicts to fight the
fire and detachment was called upon
to help save the sick men and women
in the hospital.
Did these lowly and despised GRIM
inaIs show the white feather or any
thing to indicate that there was some
thing morally wrong with them? All
grades Of felons were there, from the
sneak thief to the murderous thug. 1t
might naturally have been expected
that they would have made break for
liberty in a body in the confusion
which offered every opportunity for
easy escape. But no one seemed to
think Of flight, SO the warden declares.
And not one hesitated in the task be-
fore them.
Pell nell into the Burning building
they dashed. Up and UP the stairways
through thick smoke and menaced by
tongues Of flame, they went to the
rasAa,e Of the helpless insnatAa - IA
