Jas. Lawrence received a letter
from John Millard of Enid, OF, this
morning concerning his daughter,
Miss Lille Lawrence, who is quaran-
tined with smallpox at the home of
John TiltOn, who formerly lived near
Oxford. Miss Lawrence is broken out
with the disease, butts not alarmed, as
it is Of very mild form. Mr.. Millard
talked across the street with Mr..
Tilton. The Tilton house is being
guarded, and no one is allowed to ap-
proach it. There are only two cases
in Enid, but the farmers are fright
ened, and Mr., Millard says trade Is at
standstill. There have been several
hundred cases ofsmallpox throughout
Oklahoma this fall and winter, but
only one or two deaths have resulted,
indicating that the disease is of very
mild type.

Parties up from Geuda Springs to-
day say that a shotgun quarantine has
been established there against Arkan
sas City and Winfield, where smallpox
exists to an alarming degree. The
outskirts of Geuda Springs are patrol
led day and night by armed men and
no one is allowed to enter the city
without satisfying the guards that he
or she is not from Arkansas City or
Winfield, or either vicinity.
The disease is said to be on the in
crease in Arkansas City, and three
midnight burials 10 one night are re-
ported. Winfield is SAID to have sev-
eral new cases, and the authorities
there prefer to call it chickenpOx and
refuse to establish a quarantine, for
fear Of hurting trade.

The Cease.Colln Election Contest.

The contest over the office of trustee
OF Dixon township, wherein Geo. A.
Cease is the contestant and J. Q. Colin
the contestee, was being heard by the
commissioners Tuesday.
j. C. Colin was elected trustee of
Dixon township at the November
election over Geo. A. Cease By one
vote. Cease is contesting his election
on the ground that there were mum.
Der Of defective ballots counted for
Colin which should have been thrown
out. he employed Herrick & Rogers
to look after his side OF the contest,
and Colin employed Cleo Burnette.
The attorneys on both sides agreed to
let the commissioners recount the
ballots and to abide by their decision.
The count was commenced that
morning. As the contestant and con-
testee objected to certain ballots, they
were laid aside and when the count
was completed, Cease and Colin had
received 10 votes each, with five Al
legged defective ballots 10 dispute.
Ceases attorneys objected tC one of
the ballots because someone had writ
ten tie word "NO" in one of the
squares opposite the question, "Shall
the County High school be maintain
&c" and to two Of the ballots because
in voting the voter had made a cross
10 the square opposite Collins name
instead OF an Y.
Collins attorney objected to one of
the ballots because some voter had
made similar mark opposite Ceases
name, and to another because Ceases
name had been written in the column
headed Democratic" when it was
already printed in the Peoples
Party" column.
The commissioners, after listening
to the arguments Of the attorneys on
both sides, and throwing out such
ballots as they considered defective,
decided that Colin had been elected
by one vote. The result of the count
was: Colin, 81; Cease, 81.

The healthy old man wears his gray

threescore and ten if there is still fire in
his eye, frmness in his step, command in
his voice and wisdom in his council? He
commands love and reverence. Yet how
few veal the mantle of age with dignity.
Dim eyed, querulous of speech, hating
in step, childish IN mind, they flag su-
perfuous on the stage" dragging out
the fag end of life in simple existence
The secret of healthy old age is healthy
middle age. The man who takes care
of his stomach, who keeps his BODY prop
erly nourished, will find that the body
does not fail him in old age. The great
value of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery lies in the preservation Of the
working power of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition.
From this center is distributed the flour-
ishment of the whole body, the salt for
blood, the lime for the bones, phosphates
for the brain and nerves. A sound stom-
ach means a sound man. A man who
keeps his stomach sound by the use Of
Golden Medical Discovery" will wear
the crown of gray hairs as BELTS a mon-
arch, with dignity and ease.

BIRD MOTION.
Things That Have Been Found Out by
 the Airshfp fnven Ors.

Things That Have Been Found Out by
 the Airshfp fnven ors.
 In flight the body is moved forward by the resistance of the air to the strokes of the wings. The reason why the start is the most laborious part of the process is thus explained by M. Marcy, the great authority of all forms of animal locomotion: When the bird is not yet in motion, the air struck by it's wings first of all presents a resistance due to it's inertia, then be- gins to move, and flies below the wing, without affording any support. When the bird is at full speed, on the con- trary, it's wings are supported each succeeding moment by new columns of air, each one offering the initial re- sistance due to its inertia. The sum of these resistanees presents to the winds much frmer basis. The in- crease of the resistance of the air diminishes the labors of the bird. In calm air a seagull at it's swiftest ex
 pends scarcely @ fifth of the labor which it had to put forth at the be- ginning of it's flight. The bird which flies against the wind is in still better conditions, fresh masses of air con- tinually presenting themselves to it's wings. The start is, therefore, the most laborious phase of flight. Hence birds employ all kinds of artifees to acquire motion before Tapping their wings. Some run along the ground be- fore darting into the air, others jump rapidly in the direction in which they wish to fly. Others, again. let them selves drop from height with ex- tended wings. All turn their bills to the wind at the moment of starting."

EARTH IS GETTING SMALLER.
At Least It's Peoples Are Coming Closer
 Together Every Day.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat One of the wonders of this marvellous age is the rapdity with which the re- mote quarters of the earth are being brought close together. According to the Russian minister of railroad, when Russia's new trans Siberian railroad is finished the trip around the world can be made in thirty-three days. When Jules Verne, just twenty-five years ago, sent the fictitious Phineas Fogg around the world in eighty days this exploit was deemed to be as near the absolutely impossible as at one time Puck s feat was of putting girdle round about the earth in forty min- utes. Two American women trayt.- Ing in opposite directions, beat Fogg's mythical exploit a few years ago. When the Russian railroad is built, however, the record of their journeys will, in the comparison, seem like the old stage coach and sailing vessel trav- els do today. With what incredulity would the navigators of a century ago have looked at the forthcoming Rus
 
 sian time table. The remnant of the fleet with which Magellan left San Lu- car, in Spain, in 1519. returned to that port in 1922. Three years, lacking two weeks, were required for the circum navigation of the earth. The first of the British world circlers, Drake, who sailed half Century later, was as long making the distance. Cook, who made the journey century later than Drake, was two years ten months on the Yoy- age. In the century and half be- tween Magellan and Cook the time of the world circuit has been shortened in only an impereeptible degree. There had been but little improvement in the speed of the ocean vessels since the days when Odysseus in his shallop, af ter the Trojan war, started on his re- turn to Ithica. No Improvement of consequence, indeed was made until the days when steam began to be ap- piled to ocean navigation and that was at such a comparatively recent date that on May 24, 1S19, the day on which Victoria was born, the first steamboat which ever crossed the Atlantic start ed, leaving Savannah for Liverpool, and taking tWenty-six days to make the voyage, which would now be made Tn less than six.

A Novel u.e of the Bicycle.

There was novel use of the bicycle at the recent show of the Royal Az ricultural society in Sydney. The com pany which has acquired the patent rights in the sheep-shearing machine invented by the late Mir. Fred Yorke Wolseley, the Australian brother of the commander-in-e showed number of these machines worked by motive power supplied by a cyclist. The driv- ing wheel of the bicycle was connect ed with small rubber wheel fixed on 8 spindle, to which were attached the flexible shaft and shear of the Wolse- ley machine. Each sheep was relieved Of its wool coat in four or five minutes.
