SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Court May be Held Matter
Under Amusement,

The board OF health consulted
with Judge Gill this morning rel
ative to the advisability of post
poning the term of court at this
place set for next Monday. The
judge is of the opinion that court
will have to be called Monday,
even if it should be Immediately
adjourned. If the developments
between now and Monday are such
as to warrant such action, the term
will be adjourned, and it,, on the
other hand, there seems to be no
danger the court will go on,
This may be the safest plan, but
if there are as many cases Of small
pox in the surrounding country as
is reported, it is certainly taking
great risk to wait till Monday and
compel people to come in, in obe-
dience to summons, from all parts
Of the country and incur the risk
of bringing the disease to town.
Perhaps 1000 persons will attend
court here the first day unless no.
tilted not to come. The loss to
the business interests will be heavy
if court is adjourned, but it might
be made vastly more SO to
attempt to hold court and bring
upon the town an epidemic of
smallpox.

Smallpox in Oklahoma.

The smallpox epidemic in Okla
homa mas assumed formidable pro-
portions, although, fortunately,
the disease has proven fatal only
in rare instances. The largest
number Of cases reported from any
one town was in Oklahoma City,
where fourteen cases were nursed
through to recovery. The fact of
the existence OF the disease ia that
town was kept secret unti, the
last patient had recovered, when
the local papers revealed the state
of things which had existed. The
scare caused by the prevalence OF
the scourge is evidenced in a num-
Der Of ways, notably in the precau-
tions taken by school officials.
The reopening of the El Reno city
schools after the holiday vacation
was postponed until today, while
the Enid schools have not yet re-
sumed work for the spring term.
The greatest scare, however, is |
felt by the negro population of the
territory. From some localities a
general exodus of negroes has set
in, the frightened citizens in most
instances removing to Indian dis
tricts where the disease has not
yet appeared. There are said to
be 800 cases Of smallpox in Kay
county, nearly half of them being
reported from the town Of New
kirk.

SMALLPOX YEARS AGO.
Experience of Sam StiIIeys
Family with the MaIady,

Seventeen years ago this winter
smallpox ragged over in the Granc
river country and there were q
good many deaths, particularly
among the colored people. At the
hospital the death rate was even
one out of three. Among the
families that had it was that oil
Sam Stilley, who lived on one OF
the Bumgarner places. Mr.. Still
ey's brother, Gar" who was in
town Tuesday, felt i'll one day and
went over to SANS. A day or
two later be broke out good and
strong; and from the middle of
November to away along into
plowing time the following spring
the family were wrestling with
smallpox. Eight persons belong
ing to the family had the disease
and all recovered. Mrs. Stilley
and her daughter, now Mrs. Louis
Thompson, escaped. With this
experience it is not to be wondered
at that the lady is somewhat par
ticular in her inquiries when par
ties from the east side of Cabin
and'beyond stop at the house-Mr.
Badgett's, at the military crossing
of which Lem Paris writes in his
war stories. The lady stated to the
writer this week that it took little
doctoring but a great deal of nurs-
ing. Something is given to cause
the patient to break ont we'll, after
the first fever, and laxative is
given. Care is taken that nothing
greasy is eaten, and that is practi-
cally, the extent of the treatment. |

THE COMMENTATOR.
Wagner Sayings on the Smallpox
Situation in that City.

There seems to be a difference
OF opinion as to the identity of the
malady with which those colored
residents in the southwest portion
of this city are afflicted. DR.. Fite,
the quarantine officer, after an in
spection Of the cases, pronounced
them smallpox. Other doctors TO-
spect them and say they are not;
the which is remindful of a certain
remark about doctors disagreeing.
Possibly reason the doctors
cannot get together on the matter
is that the average doctor doesn t
have calls to smallpox patients
with any great degree of frequen-
cy, and he should not be censured
because be does not invariably fail
to diferentiate between smallpox
and black measles, especially
where the patient is a colored per-
son.
But In this progressive age, when
discoveries in every field of human
effort are being made, may not this
malady be added in the next ed
ilion of the catalogue of new dis
eases doctors have found in recent
years?
We have seen this disease term.

TRIED TO SLAP HIS FACE
YOUNG WOMAN RESENTS REMARKS
OF AN ATTORNEY.

CAMDEN, N J., March 27.-SensatOnal
testimony was adduced today at the trial
OF William H. Hay and Howard K.
Sloan, formerly reporters for a Phila-
delphia newspaper, on the charge of
conspiring to injure the reputation OF
Eugene ]. Darnell, of this city.
Last September the defendants caused
to be published a confession alleged to
have been made to them by Eli Shaw, Of
Camden, in which he admitted killing his
mother and grandmother Shaw had been
tried twice and acquitted of the charge
some time previously. The alleged con-
fession implicated Darnell as an acces-
sorry after the fact. He was arrested on
a warrant sworn to by Oloan, but proved
an alibi and was released. Shaw repu-
dated the story, and Darnell caused the
arrest of the reporters on the charge Of
conspiracy. Today Eva Wood, Shaw's
former fancee, testified that on the day
of the publication Snaw told her that
every word Of the story was true
Charles d. Miller, a private detective,
testified that about two weeks after
Shaw's acquittal, he detailed to Shaw
the manner in which the murder had
been committed, naming Shaw as the
murderer, and that t-Ie latter had ad-
mitted the truth of the detectives state
ment
Policeman Hartman testified that he
was secreted in Detective Miller's Office
during the conversation between Shaw
and Miller, and overheard the former s
confession.
During the recess taken by the court
Eva Wood attempted to slap the face
of ex-Judge Howard Carrow, Darnen's
counsel, because, in addressing the Jury.
the lawyer had made remarks ref1ectine
upon her character.

EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE
ONE MAN KILLED AND TWO
OTHERS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

NEW YORK, March 2Z-One man was
killed and two others probably fatally in
jured by the premature explosion of dy-
mantle in Allen & Whites quarry, near
Waterloo, N Y, today.
George Lord, the foreman of the party,
was killed, and Frederick Mooney and
Emil Lozier, laborers, were so seriously
hurt that it is possible both will die
The three men were at work setting
charge of dynamite. Everything had been
made ready for the blast, and all the
others withdrew. 1t is believed that the
explosion occurred through the adjusting
OF the firing cap, for the main body of
the men had hardly got safe distance
away when there was report, a great
cloud Of dust and splintered rock, and
three victims We're seen lying upon the
ground.
Lord was fearfully cut about the body
and head. MONEYS face was torn ard
cut, his body bruised and MS eyes de
stroyed. Lozier was cut and bruised on
the head and body, receiving internal in

stad with even 5000 men it will be an i'm

to the wornout condition Of the British
