they are not afraid to say so and give

firmly hold
d. j. Rose returned to the city the
later part of last week after two
months visit in Winnipeg, Manitoba,
and other points in the Northwest. Mr..
Rose tells a very interesting story of
his observations Of the place where he
| made his home when a boy and has
very favorable impression of the future
of the country surrounding Winnipeg.
He says that country is rapidly recov-
ering from the destructive effects of the
financial panic which seized upon it
at the time when the states on this side
| of the border were struggling in the
| throes of commercial convulsion,
which was charged by partisans TO the
| baleful influence of democratic tariff
| legislation. He said that WOOL wheat,
beef and other products of the range
| and ranches fell in price at that time
| and the real estate market has only
| recently recuperated from the blight
which fell upon it so suddenly in the
| summer of '94. Mr.. Rose reports that
! the prices of all farm products are look
| ing up and it appears from the decided
! advance in the price of real estate that
| the province of Manitoba is favored
| by the overflow of benign benefits from
states are supposed to be dripping. Mr..
| Rose will locate in the city again and
| take up the practice of law.
The latter part of the week fire
man named Jerry LaDuke, who has
| been firing on a work train near Column
| bus, took sick and was brought to this
| city, where the physicians called to at
tend him pronounced the maady that
| afflicted him nothing less than a bad
| case of smallpox, and ordered the pa
tient quarantined. Accordingly, prep
arations were made to isolate the pa
| tient and a house was rented in River
side by the county commissioners and
the sick man removed to this improvis-
ed hospital. Smallpox signs of glaring
yellow were ordered printed and all
| precautions taken to prevent the spread
| of the disease. 1t was learned later
| that at Columbus, where the man had
| been employed, measles were epidemic
| in an unusually virulent form, and af-
| ter watching the symptoms of the sick
| man for few days, the doctors revers-
ed their verdict and decided to call the
| disease a peculiar form of measles. At
last reports the patient was doing well
and rapidly getting out of danger. Since
| the scare the doctors have been busy
attending to the wants of clamorous pa
| tients who want to be vaccinated to
| insure immunity against the dread dis
eaee Some who have been vaccinated
| years ago decided to try it again and
| host of children shank for the first
| time from the scalpel which scratched
their cuticle and permitted the vaccine
to enter and fortify the system against
| the insidious malady so destructive to
| childhood.
Reports from Smith Bros ranch on
| the Musselshell are to the effect that
| the men employed at that place are
| feeding Az tons of hay per day to the
bands of sheep wintering there. The
firm is fortunate in having plenty of
hay. The ground is covered with snow
! and ice and the hay is about gone from
the Upper Musselshell, but Smith
Bros. are said to have hay enough to
feed at the present rate for a month
yet.
