IMAGINARY .HYDRoPHoHIA.
such is Said to Be the Disease OF Young
Women at ColvflIe, Wash.

A brief dispatch from Colville pub
lished yesterday told of remarkable
case of what appeared to be hydrophobia
at that place, the victim being Miss
Nettie Fogg. The case as it now de-
velops is on of the most peculiar that
ever occurred in the Northwest. Hys
terical imaginary hydrophobia is what
it might be termed, for the young
woman was never, to the knowledge of
her relatives and friends, bitten by a
mad dog.
Saturday she was thrown into series
of convulsions that seemed as if it must
terminate fatally. She barked, gulped
food and Tapped water like a dog, and
twisted and turned her body as a dog in
agony would. Suddenly che righted
herself and with vicious snap seized
one of her thumbs b tween her teeth
and would have bitten it off, bnt for in
reference. A few seconds after this
Nettie began to bark, growl and snap
just as dog does when irritated. She
remained in that condition for about
five minutes when another spasm took
her and the united muscles of three
were required to hold her. In periods of
semi-consciousness she would point to a
scar on her breast and say Garfield did
it," On inquiry, it was learned that
Garfield was dog for many years in
the Fogg family. One of the sisters
said Nettie had told her that the Cog
had bitten her about nine years ago.
The dog at one time was suspected OF
being mad, but recovered from the
seeming attack.
1t is thought Nettie was bitten by the
dog and had been greatly frightened
thereby, thinking she might some time
contract hydrophobia. Being OF a
nervous temperament and recently in
poor health, the theory is she worked
herself into hyeteri;al condition, when
che imagined che had hydrophobia and
developed all the symptoms OF that
malady, something not unusual in the
history of medicine.

Their Return.

Their seems to be diversity of opin-
ion concerning the idea of demanding
that the volunteers be returned home.
Governor Geer Gays:
''I can't see that the state has any
right to ask the president to send the
volunteers home. They enlisted in the
service of the government, and if there
ever was a time when they have been
needed it is now. 1t seems to me that
it is a piece of impertinence to ask
that they be returned. I feel confident
that the president will order them home
as soon as possible, and until he does go
cannot see what right the states have
to interfere.
Few, if any, of the volunteers from
Oregon are asking to come home. In
fact, am constantly IN receipt of ap-
plications for promotion, and some who
have been discharged and returned
home have asked to be returned since
the war began"

In Farer Of colorado springs.

Chas. H. Glenn, travelling freight and
passenger agent of the Colorado Midland
Railway, is In The Dalles. The purpose
of HE visit to cur city is to interest the
Elks ia the matter of holding the grand
lodge meeting of 1900 in Colorado
Springs. The national meeting this
year is to be held in St. Louis in June,
and by instructing their delegates to
vote for Colorado Springs as the meet
ing place of the following year, the Eks
have no idea what favor they will con-
fer on those who are permitted to at
tend. To one who has been privileged
to visit that beautiful place, and take in
the grandeur of its surroundings-Pike
Peak, the Garden of the Gods, Cheyenne
Canyon. and numerous other places fully
as wonderful, the very idea of such an
opportunity is enough to create any
amount of enthusiasm and cause one to
wish he might be a delegate.
A trip over the road which Mr.. GIeim
has the honor of representing is enough
to induce ali to vote for Colorado
Springs. No route could be chosen
which would give delegates better op-
portunity to gee scenery which must OF
necessity be remem bered for a life time,
as every newspaper representative who
had the privilege of travelling over that
route last year will affirm.
This winter has proven an excep-
tIonally hard one on the railroads
of Colorado, on this road in particular
which for seventy-seven days was tied
up with blockade of snow which eur.
passed any previous blockade in its
history. One can scarcely believe the
weather bureau contains facts when ii
gives the fall of snow during the winter
along that road at BIZ feet; but such
were the reports.
Mr.. Glenn will visit various lodges
throughout Oregon and as far as San
Francisco, in the interest of Colorado
Springs for meeting place in 1900.

DISABLED SOLDIERS.

The special examining board of sur
upon the cases of 500 members of the
8th Illinois regiment, who claimed to
have sustained disabling injuries in the
Cuban campaign. The report of the
surgeons is that out of the 500 en-
listed men, only 70 suffered from dis
ability, and less than 5 per cent of the
remainder were disabled i'm any degree.
These examinations were made in or
der to preserve in the medical records
of the army some evidence of the ply
steal condition of the men, at the ex-
piratiOn of the term of service and to
prevent frauds in the future when APP
pIicatons for pensions should be made.
Those who claimed to be disabled
generally declared that they had Eek
cessive pain in the head and back -
But the surgeons could not locate the
disease if there was any.
1t is not creditable that nearly an
entire regiment should prepare to place
itself ON THE pension list. There is not
much OF the fire of patriotism in such
applications. These men were no
doubt brave. and loyal, but it is proof
system, that they should be willing to
burden the country with the expense
of supporting them for the next fifty
years, because they responded to pa
triotic CALL These applications show
Willingness to put love of country on
a commercial basis. The nation will
not tolerate any suffering that it can
prevent arising directly out of disabili-
ties caused by the war but it cannot
undertake to tax the people for dis
abilities that result from other causes.
1t is estimated that the vice Of in
temperance among the surviving SOL
diers OF the Civil War, has cast upon
the nation an annual burden of $780,
100000 The figures cannot be accu-
rate, but are near enough to the truth
to show what frightful load the ma
tion carries.
The laxity of the pension system en-
cours ged these Illinois soldiers to place
fraudulent statements on record. The
majority of the men who enlisted last
year will make similar applications, be-
cause the pension laws have encour-
aged system of pensions which has
produced the most gigantic public swim
die of the age.
No persons in the country deplore

INCINERATION.

Those VINO dislike the incarceration
OF the dead should keep in mind tn
fact that the conditions in this place
are peculiar in this respect that arte
siam wells now supply part OF oui
drinking water, and in the near future
Will supply the whole of it. In nc
- other city do similar conditions exist
Drinking water elsewhere is usually
brought from distant points, and Win
care can be kept free from pollution
The testimony of those who are ca
pable of making trustworthy Jllhg-
ments on the subject is that the burial
OF the dead in places where the drlnk-
ing water is obtained below the sur
face in the neighborhood is liable to
polIute the drinking supply. This
testimony should be sufficient to
creste strong public opinion
in favor of incarceration. The ques-
tion becomes one of public health, and
sentlms.nt should give way to it.
Those who are prominent in the
community should take the lead in
changing the practice of disposing of
the dead. Although they may have
strong feelings in favor of the present
method, they are under moral obli-
CATION to do that which is the best for
the people.
It lis due to the backwardness, the in
difference of good and prominent men,
that so many avoidable evils exist.
Neither the pulpit nor the press can
move community when men and wo-
men who should be controlled by rea-
son. refuse to hear and live according
to the fixed habits of their inherited
thoughts.
Such people, moved more by senti-
ment than by thoughtful consideration
of the lives and the health of people,
take upon themselves a weighty res
possibility. OF the dead bodies of those
who lost their lives because of the lack
of good sanitary conditions were para
ded through the streets and before the
people every year, the spectacle would
set the average good citizen to think
ing.
Preparation must be made at once for
the disposition of the dead in rapid
ly growing place. The people of stand
ing in the community should take the
lead in making cremation popular, if
they believe in the present teachings
of science. They are in error if they
believe that it lis a question of senti-
ment 1t is one of necessity SO long as
the drinking water is taken from arte-
sian wells, and the water is liable to
be contaminated by the present forms
of burial.

THERE are 9 few things that even
the great railroad magnate, James j.
Hill, has not yet thoroughly learned,
and among them IS the value Of adj
vertising in the country newspapers.
This week, for instance, the Great
Northern has arranged cheap ex-
cursion to Winnipeg, butt has failed
to properly advertise the fact. Afew
posters have been hung out at few
points in the city, that is all the an
.nouncement that has been made. A
few people in town will see these
posters, but a large number will not.
And the country people know nothing
about it. There are no doubt scores
of country people, some Of them liv-
ing perhaps 20 or 80 miles from the
railroad, who would have been glad
to go on this excursion had they
known about it. An announcement
in last weeks Shear would have cost
but little. and would have enabled
these people to go, thereby increasing
also the receipts of the road.

July6, 1899.
The 4th-of July was celebrated at
Mr.. II. 2. Elseth's place and quite
large crowd, mostly young people,
was gathered there in the afternoon.
Free lemonade, peanuts, candy and
good supper was served; firecrackers
were heard here and there on the
grounds, and fireworks were displayed
in the evening. There were also
races and other sports the favorite
game seemed to be this: my ia
ther and mother was Irish,'' etc.
Towards morning a speech was de-
livered by Eddie Ramstad, Esq, and
then little fun and all went home
happy in the morning Of July 9Th,
perhaps tired and sleepy after having
been awake whole night.

yet the farmers are working hard !;
some are breaking up new land and
others are putting up new buildings,
which shows that the farmers are in a
better condition than before. and
which is also natural as the country

IT is the duty OF every one owning
a home to surround that home with
good sanitary conditions. The
health and happiness Of the whole
family largely depend thereupon. It
is we'll to remember that sunlight,
fresh air and cleanliness are potent
enemies OF disease germs. A fire.
quent source OF disease and ill health
is found in the dark and damp cellar
with it's decaying vegetables and
musty smells. On this point Henry
Ward Beecher once said in fam Gus
lecture:
s'The thoughtless farmer permits
his potatoes to rot in the cellar.
The arising nliasma finds it's. way
through the floor and permeates the
carpets and furniture and beds.
Baby falls sick of a fever and pre-
sently is carried tenderly away to it's
tiny mound in the cemetery. It's

season and finally become reconciled
with the consoling thought that it is
all somehow a Providence of God.
