PATIENTS DOING WELL.
Fergus County Is Trying to Stamp Out
the Disease.


Great Falls, Sept. 30-Dr. Weitmatl
at the pest house reports a total Of 20
patients under his care. One was taken
out to-day, John Meier. OF his patients
the doctor says that all are doing we'll
with the exception of the -weeks-old
baby mentioned in these dispatches be-
fore. She went through the worst
stage of the disease apparently all
right, but is now seized with hem
orrhages of the lungs and bowels,
which are reducing her strength so
much that the physicians fear she will
be too weak to pull through. The other
patients are up and dressed and occas-
ionally converse with their friends over
the telephone. Assessor Fowler of Fer
gus county is quarantined in his home
at Lewistown and his illness is pro-
nounced varioloid. The board of COM
missioners of that county have prompt
ly appointed a board of health and a
county physician and endowed them
with the extraordinary powers neces-
saly to cope with the disease. No pest
house has yet been established there, as
the disease has not developed to an ex-
tent requiring one. The Argus of .hat
town states that smallpox has existed
for some time on the Judith and Sur
prise creek, but no fatal cases have &C.
Cured, and the disease was confined
wholly to men.

PUT OFF BEING WEIGHED.
Thought He Was Thin, but Scales
Changed His Mind

Changed His Mind.
There is consolation for the woman of
society, for the one thing she usually
longs to do when she goes away from
nome in the summer is to gain flesh
and plumpness enough for pretty arms
and neck. Here is a good recipe that
woman who was down on Cape Cod
this summer learned from man This
man. however, had no idea of teaching
such a lesson. He was a big fellow
from the city whose flesh was piling up
to such an extent that it was becoming
annoying, and he made up his mind
that during his two week. vacation he
would reduce his weight, even though
it took heroic methods. 1t is strange
but heroic measures appeal to people
stronger than quiet, common sense
methods of life.
The heavy man began his treatment
as soon as he reached the cape. He
was up early in the morning, donned
his bathing suit and took long run
on the beach. until he was dripping
with perspiration Then he plunged in
to the surf, came out, took rundown
and went to breakfast In the after
noon the same programme was re-
peated.
Talk about training" said the stout
man shortly after the beginning of his
new regime, there is nothing like it..
I don't know what people are talking
about when they say man who tries
to get himself down to athletic weight
has a hard time. l feel in fighting
trim all the time; never felt better in
my life or enjoyed life more. 1 never
had better appetite That was what
the other guests thought as they saw
huge pieces or cornbread, glasses of
milk, eggs, fish and fruit eaten with a
hearty relish.
Il am not going to be weighed again"
said the stout man, until I am ready
number of pounds l have lost alto
gether. It's going to be startling. You
are all invited to be present at the
great OCCASION he added including all
the guests with a wave of the hand
The stout man was a general favor
lite. When he took his farewell weigh
he donned just the same travelling
tered the place.
There was real curiosity among those
around, and they gathered about the
scales.
Now he said, as he stepped on the
scales triumphantly, you all know
what j did weigh and now you can see
what perseverance will do in two
weeks"
"Now you will see that-I-move-
the weight only LueIe Was d ltlle
pause then, for the weight was going
out further. why! I say" went on
the stout man. what in thunder is
the matter with these scales?'
Then he stood erect, with a blank
look on his face, while everyone crowd
ed around to find that by "heroic meth
ods'' he had gained just Is pounds in
the two weeks. If it is not too heroic
treatment for the thin woman, she
might undertake the same treatment to
add to her avoirdupois.

CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce.

Chicago, Sept. 30.-Another slight rise in
wheat at Liverpool Notwithstanding yes
terday's decline in this market caused
wheat to open firm and at a fractional
advance. Besides the strength at Liver
POOL the market was helped by the con-
tnued light receipts at primary points.
The impression apparently prevailed that
receipts would continue lower until much
lighter than year ago, and though there
was moderate amount of realizing at
the opening advance. only a slight reac-
ton resulted and prices quickly recovered.
The market was in the main a scalping
one and the bear element timid at the re-
cent strength of the market under rath-
CT adverse circumstances was inclined to
cover all short contracts over Sunday,
fearing war developments in the Trans
"aal. Traders who sold yesterday were
prominent in the buying. The strength,
however, was confined to the deferred flu
lures.
September shorts had apparently been
we'll filled up and moderate offerings by
long interests resulted in a sharp break
in the price of that option. 1t sold at
one time at 1Ac discount under December.
Winter wheat points reported an excel
lent milling demand. The close was rath-
er heavy. December opened M@l4c high
er at 74ac. 1t sold at 7sssc then advanced
to 1875 and declined to 731sc, where it
closed. September declined from 721an
72ac at the opening to 711ac and closed *
al lower at 715sc.
The feature of a dull session in corn
was the weakness of the September OPP
ton, which declined &c under liquidation
by prominent operators. The demand
was light, shorts having apparently COW
cred, and easily affected. Deferred flu
lures were rather steady early with
wheat, but later followed September
downward, the market closing heavy.

slight uneasiness was apparent. notably

breds sold readily. The American pur-
enasers secured several parcels of me-

of Australian merinos contained several

were taken by the continent. Secured me,
rinos were in strong demand. The offer

Sallie Joe, the little daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Duston, was
riding along Broadway on her BIZ

near the Court street crossing a
vicious cow gave chase, and it
seemed probable that the child
would be badly injured. When
the infuriated beast was within a
few feet of her intended victim,
DR.. A. E. Adams happened along,
on his way home, and drove the
COW away. His appearance was
certainly timely. The little miss
thanked the doctor, and. remount-

HOW MUCH coTToNp
Little Doubt now That ArdmOre's Totnl
win Reach $4,000 Bales.

VIII Reach $4,000 6aieS.
There has been a great deal of
discussion in Ardmore for the past
two months about the matter of the
total wagon receipts of cotton for
the season. There has been more
than talk, too; or rather, some of
the talk has been more emphatic
than the rest, for it is true that
money talks best, and some have
backed their judgment with the
coin and the long green. = Most
of this discussion has been about
the figure 80, O00-would Ardmore
get that number of bales from wa,
gons this season?
There seems to be little doubt
now that the receipts will easily
reach this mark. The receipts up
to this date are within 300 of the
30, 900 score, and no one, so far as
can be learned, is willing to lay a
wager against the original PROPOSE
ton.
Ardmote should ftly celebrate
the arrival of the 50,000th bale,
for by reason of that fact our town
will hold a place in the cotton in
dustry as the second if not the first
inland cotton market in the world.
Mayor Gait has suggested that
some way be provided for the cele-
bratlon. 1t will be the best pos
possible advertisement for oul
town, and there seems little room
for objection to such move. The
fact ought to be advertised, and il
nothing else is done, | am in favor
of preparing a statement, properly
attested, and sending it broadcast
over the country.
1t is n good time now to begin
thinking about this matter. A:
Mayor Gait has said, this will b,
the very best sort of an advertise
ment for our town.
Will the metropolis of the beau
tiful Indian Territory, and one o
the greatest cotton markets in tn
world, hide her light under
! bushel?
