Having had it's little bit of excite
ment and expressed it's opinion of the
proceedings, the town has now quieted
down. Acting Assistant Surgeon
Hamilton has sent his report to the
government at Washington, and in it
he says, among other things:
Although this city had been mapped
into districts and physicians appointed
to each district to vaccinate all per-
sons not recently vaccinated there are
large number unvaccinated, and
therefore fuel for the epidemic now in
our midst.
Il have often advised authorities to
issue some law compelling vaccination
by force, if necessary; also that they
should isolate these cases more per-
fectly. They created no law compell-
ing vaccination and forcibly taking of
persons to the pest house or detention
camp until I returned from Guerrero,
Mexico. I found then there had been
an alarming increase in the number of
cases reported, but I am siltl in, doubt

while trying to keep an ambulance at

as there was too much excitement, and
the mob was large and beyond the

more force, and one troop Of the Tenth

In Texas Is Conducted by Seven Di-
vorced Women.
Chanute (Kan.) Correspondence Chi
%cago Record: They say that the best
MOTEL in Texas is to be found at Bel
ton, town on the Santa Fe road. and
it is kept by **seven sanctified sisters !"
as the proprietors are popularity called.
Several years ago a woman in that
place and her husband quarreled over
the best way Of expounding the script
ures to Sunday school class, and were
so stubborn that they separated and
were finally divorced. This family con-
troversy was taken up by the town,
which was soon distinctly divided be-
tween the adherents Of the husband
and the adherents of the wife. The re-
suit was large crop of divorces. and
seven husbandless women, including
the original cause of the commotion.
joined together and rented the town
hotel. One of them did the cooking,
another was parlor maid, a third made
up the beds, and so they divided the
work among them and ran the estab-
lishment upon the cooperative plan.
They would not employ a man about
the place, although the most of their
patrons We're men, of course. People
say that women travellers preferred to
stop elsewhere, and that would be a
Woman's way. One of the ''seven
sanctified sisters" used to drive a big
carry-all down to the railway station
three Or four times day 20 meet the
trains, but she let the regular transfer
company handle the baggage. The
hotel prospered from the beginning.
and there was no reason why it should
not, for everything was neat and home
like and the cooking was the best in
Texas, which is not saying much, per-
haps, but is a good reason why it was
appreciated. Every Sunday it was
crowded. The drummers used to swarm
there from all the northern-central
part of the state, and every passenger
on the Santa Fe trains was an adyer-
Using agent. The F'sanctified sisters"
made money, as they deserved to do:
they enlarged their establishment and
started a big laundry in connection
with it., where the drummers left their
soiled. clothes to be done up while they
were. out during the week. Then the

started laundry there, with. equal
success, and now they are talking OF

How to Wash the Cat,

A New York girl who makes busi-
ress of washing cats, gives the follow
ing as her way of doing it: II use
vessel large enough to immerse the cat.
There should be three waters, all COM
fortably warm. 1 put a few drops of
ammonia in the first water. I wear a
rubber apron, and, for the first bath,
soap the cat well. The other two wa
tiers are clear. If she is strong, I rub
her dry, pet her little and turn her
loose. If she is delicate or young, I
rub her dry, give her a saucer Of milk,
put her in basket and cover her up.

battle healthy cat.''-New Yorak Sun.

sUBDUED Il HE BULLY.
And Everybody In Court Was Secretly

IL zf Glad Of It. 3zss IL
''1ce biggest court room bully ever
met IN my life, /" said an old New Or
leans lawyer to a New Orleans Times
Democrat man, was an attorney
named Simmondson, who was quite a
noted character in the early days Of
the Louisville bar. practiced in that
city for several years after i was adj
mitted, and I used to encounter him
now and then in the local courts. He
was a very large, pOrtly man, with a
singularly intimidating presence, and
when he got a nervous witness in his
hands the way he would put on the
screws was something frightful. This
habit led one day to remarkable
scene, of which I happened to be. a
spectator. He was engaged in the trial
OF case involving the title of, some
farm lands, and number of country
men were called to testify on the 9TH
'er side. They were naturally i'll at
ease, being unused to city ways, and
when Simmondson came to cross-ex-
anime he found them easy prey He
harassed them in every Imaginable
manner, and whenever they would
show signs of confusion would roar
out: What are you hesitating for?
Are you afraid you may tell lie? If
the victim replied No. Simmondson
would retort, I was sure you didn't
fear little thing like that and if the
answer was Yes he would say, with
sheer: All! thought So In short,
he had them both ways, and the poor
fellows, being strangers to repartee,
were badly discounted. The last wit
ness he took in hand was a tall, lank
farmer with a very thoughtful eye.
He had watched the batting of his
nelghbors in dead silence and took the
stand with perfect composure. Sim
mondson evidently set him down as a
lout, and when the witness hesitated
over some question moment later he
fired his favorite shot: What are y
studying about?' he beloved. "Fraid
of telling lie, too, I suppose?' With
out any apparent haste the country
man picked up massive inkstand and
hurled it straight at Simmondson' s
head, catching him on the bridge of
the nose, and knocking him perfectly
senseless:* That's what I was a-study-
in about he drawled in the moment
of9dead silence that followed the act
Needless to say, a tremendous hubub
ensued, but everybody was secretly
pleased, and while the judge fined the
farmer heavily for contempt, he sub
sequently RENTED the sentence
Simmondson was carried home and
was laid up for several weeks. When
he emerged he was as gentle as a
dove, and it was said he never bullied
another witness. He subsequently
drifted out to California, where he died
during the war;

The funerals took place a few days
ago, and the wounded are doing as we'll
as could be expected.

The funerals took place few days
ago, and the wounded are doing as well
as could be expected.
It all grew out Of the discovery by
young doctor that there was smallpox
across the river, in Mexico. He hadn't
been here long, and couldn't be ex-
pected to know that every well-regu-
lated Mexican family on the frontier
has it's routine that must be lived up
to; that it must have its smallpox in
the spring, just as it must have it's bull
fights and fiestas in the fall, and its
danzas and fandangoes and throat-cut-
tings in the so-called winter months.
He didn't know these things, so he
notified the state health board of his
discovery and had quarantine regula-
lions put in force. That was the first
sign of trouble. Gentlemen who had
been dealing cards on this side and
sleeping in Mexico found their pleas
ures and profits interfered with, and
objected loudly to inspection. Then
some joker tipped that troublesome
doctor off to the fact that there was a
case or two Of the disease right here
in town. Made him think it was some
thing new and extraordinary. Then
the doctor got down to business in real
earnest. An old wool warehouse was
seized and converted into pesthouse.
1t is in the suburbs, occupies full
block and is surrounded by high
board fence. On the other side of town
a building put up for a cotton mill was
turned into detention hospital for
suspects, and one of the first persons
taken there was the joker who had
stirred up the trouble on this sIue
The first cases were taken to the pest
house, and then the trouble became
general. The relatives OF those con-
fined called at the pesthouse to see
them, and were refused admittance.
This was an undreamed-of outrage,
and a section Of the board fence was
promptly torn down. That called the
mayor into the game, and he put the
sheriff in the field to guard the prem
ises, and the sheriff asked help from
i the Rangers.
Meantime the doctor had commune

health and had received instructions
to make house-to-house inspection

4 persons who seemed Yin need of that
! sort of irritation. He secured five as
sistants and started out to have some
Il fun. He had it. When the virus be-
Il gan to "take" the town got sore on
the doctor and his assistants, and laid
for him with clubs. But the doctor
+ had another card UP his sleeve. He
ordered the removal of the obstreper-
4 Gus to the detention hospital. b
Then the circus began in earnest,
and gun-p1ays became frequent. IA
8 posse went the rounds with the am
bulance in which suspects were re-
moved, and on the second trip the as
sistant city marshal was shot down.
