Smallpox at Crutchfeld.

The smallpox situation in the Crutch-
field nelghbOrhood in this county has
improved in the view that there are no
new cases Since last weeks report

lew. one OF the Seat family. a child Of
Dalton. and Mr.. Jim Ferguson. There
are S other cases, four of whom will get
well and the others uncertain. Lon

SMALL Pox AT HICKMAN
There are some cases in Hickman,
which some Doctors pronounce small
pOx and some think that IL is not. They
all agree, whatever il is, that il is, and
has been in very mild form. IL has
existed here to a greater or less degree,
all the winter, but never a death has
resulted from the affection, and often
times the illness was not sufficient to
cause the patient TO go to bed. The au-
thorities have taken steps to cause the
effected houses and localities to be fu-
mIgated and general vaccinations TO
occur, under the advice and directions
of the State and County Boards of
Health.
The disease whatever il is, has been
so mild, that the people have not felt
any special alarm, but IL is well to take
every precaution.

Dying in the Philippines.

The death rate reports from Manila
among the United States soldiers are
greater now than ever The National
Watchman. in describing the situation,
says:
"The Filipinos are conducting their
warfare from the jungle in detached
squads in'guerlla fashion. In this way
they kill more of our men than they
could in line of battle in front of our
guns. Ia addition to this. many are
dying from diseases that result from
climatic conditions, and the number Of
our soldiers that are becoming insane
IN the Philippines is frightfal to con-
template All of this goes to show that
the Philippines are not white mans
country. This is further proven by the
fact that after $40 years of occupation
by Spain, less than 10000 Europeans
were found on these islands cut of to-
tai population of 10000 00O

s1s,9s7 Men without Country.

Deserted by Spain, denied American
citizenship by the Republican majority
in Washington, the inhabitants of Por-
to Rico present the spectacle of Sl3,9S7
men without a country. Of course some
of them are women, some children and
some 100000 negroes. But whatever
their sex, whatever their age, whateveir
color may have been burned upon them
by the sun of heaven. they have no flag
to which they can appeal, no govern
ment to which they must bow in love,
in gratitude and in loyal devotion.
This is the meaning Of the Senate
bill.
And this indictment is drawn by the
Chicago Times Herald. a Republican
newspaper, and in times gone by a stur-
dy supporter of the Administration.

THE ASSASSINATION.
Grand Jury Now Investigat
ing.

The grand jury of Franklin county,
which is investigating the charges as to
the assassination Of Gov. Goebel is still
engaged in the work. and it is not ex
pected that any indictment will be re
turned before today or tomorrow. The
evidence before the grand jury, it is
claimed, has been closely guarded, and
that no one other than the jurors, per
mitted TO know the real testimony. The
newspapers have reports of the alleged
testimony, specially the confessions of
Golden, Culton and Youtsey, three Re
publicans, and II their reported testi-
mony proves true, it certainly makes a
very strong circumstantial case against
Secretary Of State Powers, his brother,
John Powers, and also Gov: Taylor.
However, the real facts cannot be known
until after the indictment and the regu-
lar trial is heard. So far the work Of the
jury il not a trial-only legal investi-
cation. So far as the newspaper reports
have it. all the evidence is against these
parties as accessories before and after
the fact, without any direct evidence as
to the one who actually did the shooting.
One Jim Howard, a mountain feudist
and desperate, IL reported as the one
who fired the fatal shot, and was TO re-
ceive for the crime 81 600 in money and
a pardon for that and previous murder.
A fair-minded public will wait thor
ough investigation and trial.

| old General of the Sixth Corps, includ-
in a lock of hair which was produced
after his death. General SedgWick
graduated from West Point in 1887 at
the age of "a years. The whole of his
life after graduation was spent in the
regular and volunteer armies of the
United States Among the fifty cadets
of his class at West Point were Generals
Joseph Hooker Pemberton, Braxton
| Bragg, Jubal A Early and Benham. He
saw his first active service in the Semi
mole War Later, in the Mexican War,
he was successfully brevetted captain
major. At the beginning of the civil
War he had attained the rank of lieu
tenant colonel His rise in rank was
rapid. December %. 1862, he was nom
mated major general of volunteers by
President Lincoln. At this time he was
suffering from two wounds received IN
the battle of Antietam. In February,
1863 he was appointed to the command
of the Sixth Corps. One of the most
extraordinary forced marches on record,
thirty-five miles in twenty-four hours
was made by this corps under his com
mand while on it's way to the assistance
of the Union Army at Gettysburg. On
November T. 1868, the troops under his
command succeeded in capturing an en-
tire Confederate division, with guns, ana
colors. He was thanked in general Or
ders for this by General Meade. He
took part in the spring campaign in the
Wilderness under General Grant, ana
on May and 6, 1864, was stationed on
the right wing, where the hardest fight
ing of those sanguinary engagements
took place. Three days later, while di-
recting the placing of some pieces of
artillery in the intrenchmentS In front
of Spottsylvania Court House, he was
struck in the head by bullet from
sharpshooter's gun, and was instantly
killed.
General Sedgwick was a strict disci-
plinarian, and his coprs was, in conse-
