Smallpox at Pennington.

Pennington has a case of small
box. Two or three days before the
Fourth Henry Myers, young
man of about % years, came to his
home at Pennington to spend the
holiday. He had been working on
n ranch near Lane, Idaho, on the
Occur d'Alene river for Chas. S.
Smith, and so far as he knews new
er having been anywhere to catch
smallpox.
Myers was sick when he reached
Pennington, and came in contact
with numerous people before any
one even SO much as thought of
smallpox, although he was slightly
broken out. On the morning of
the Fourth, however, he was so
badly marked that someone be-
came frightened and physician
was called. Instead of a harmless
skin disease, as Myers told friends
he thought his affiiction was, the
case was pronounced one Of small
pox.
The patient was removed as soon
as possible to the farm of NJ w.
Belshaw, where he is under strict
quarantine, but it lie feared by some
that other cases may result from
the exposures previous to the time
it was discovered what allied him.

Brutal Murder at Howard City.

Joseph Harvey, who has lived all his
life on farm near Howard City, whose
boyhood training was good, and who
never had any vicious or eccentric
habits or characteristics TO distinguish
him from tens of thousands of young
men whose lives have been spent on
farms near small towns, showed re-
comfy, notwithstanding all this, that he
possessed a murderous spirit that will
make him for all time notable figure
In the list of cold blooded human slay-
ers. AS a result of his insane desire to
kill, wife, grandmother and uncle
met instant death, while his father-in-
law is fatally wounded and Harvey's
only six-months-old baby Is crippled
for life. In addition TO this the MUIR
derer shot himself in the mouth and
eye and lay down beside his dead wife
to die, but such fate was not his good
fortune, as he will not die from his in
juries. One theory for the awful trag-
edy is that Harvey had no intention of
murder, until his uncle took him to
task for keeping the horse out late.
Then, when he killed his uncle, an in
sane streak seized him and the other
murders were the consequence. How
ever, this is only suggestion as to
what might have prompted the deed,
and the real motive for the crime may
never be known.

Barry County Murder.

A most strocious murder was COM
mitted in Barry county some time dur
ing the evening of the 18th, when Mrs.
Sarah Newsberry, living in Yankee
Springs township, was assaulted by
some fiend, and probably ravished, as
every strip of clothing was torn in
shreds from the body, except both
stockings and one shoe. Her head was
smashed in. Robbery was not the OBJ
ject; as she was in destitute circum-
stances, and what little money she had
was found in the pocket of her dress,
which was in the room. Mrs. New
berry was an old lady rs years of age
and lived alone in little log hut.
Chas. p. Smith, a half-witted young
man, is under arrest suspected of com
hitting the awful crime.

Trouble Among the Bees.

Maccabee circles are in a state OF
great excitement over the report that
trouble has broken out again between
Supreme Record Keeper Boynton, the
father Of the order, and Supreme Com
mander Markey. Marley is after
Boynton's job, and the latter charges
that Markey has been sending out a
circular letter to his friends asking
them to secure the right kind of dele.
gates. This Marley denies, but ac-
knowledges he will try and secure the
Office of supreme record keeper. Mr..
Boynton says that the main contest is
a renewal of the old fight of creating a
reserve for the order. Markey and a
number of officers have endeavored for
years to have the annual convention
adopt an amendment to the constitu-
ton providing for an accumulation
fund. Boynton has always opposed
this and so far has been victorious.

Heavy Profits at Monte Carlo.

A profit to the bank of more than
$5,000,000 in two months Is the stupen-
dous record OF the Monte Carlo estab-
lishment. 1t is safe to say that the his
tory of gambling in any and all coun-
tries can not furnish parallel to these
figures from the annual report just
made to the shareholders of the Casino.
1t should be borne in mind that the
banks profit amounts to only per
cent. upon the sum staked, so that
these gigantic winnings represent no
less than $166 100000 actually rsked by
the players. or about s2,600,000 a day
placed upon the tables. This does not
mean that punters and plungers car
ried a capital aggregating $2,600000
daily to the gambling rooms and staked
it on the turn of wheel or the deal IF
a card, for. of course. much Of the
money was risked over and over again
