two studies.

The recent snow storm caus-
ed the attendance to be much
lower than usual this month,
and this is partly the cause of
so few names on the roll of
honor as pupil must be per-
feet in attendance in order to
have his name on this roll.
Only about fifty per cent of our
pupils were in school Thursday.
No. 1 had the highest per
cent on lines, High School the
highest attendance, and Grade
8 had no tardies, truants. nor
corporal punishments during
the month.
Report cards of pupils will
be sent to parents this week
giving the record for the last
two months on attendance, de-
pertinent and scholarship. Par
ents are requested to read these
reports carefully and if the rec
ords do not show an improve
ment in the work of the pre-
quarters, consult With
the teachers of the children at
once to see if you can not as
sist in making the work better
for the last two months of
school.
Only two months more of the
present school year, and all pu-
pills who desire to do the best
possible work, should not miss
4 single day of the remainder
ot the term, but each pupil
should be at his desk every day
working hard to be ready for
the final reviews and examina-
lions.

IDEAS SIR:-Yes there is a law
IN regard to scabby sheep. The
Statutes mentions several dis
eases and then says .'or any
other contagious or infectious
disease" etc. The State Veter.
marian according to law, must
quarantine such animals and
keep them in quarantine until
cured, killed or dead. See Mo.
statutes. Vol. 2, page POPS, also
the session acts for changes in
the law.
Yours very truly,
Il. e. WHITE,
Former State Veterinarian.
420, East 4th Street,
Sedalia, Mo.
The above letter should be
read, re-read and then the law
followed to the letter.

far fetched, but then it suits

The Wild Caters Work.

Every mining district has per
iod in which the wild cater thrives.
1t is a noticeable fact that the min.
ing property of little or no meri,
is apt to receive more attention
than the really good prospects in
the first stages Of the development
OF new mining district. This
has been the history of every camp
in the country. First comes the
boom which is given impetus by
reports of high assays and itch ore
bodies.
The boom furnishes the wind
for the wild. CATERS mouth organ,
and the contagion of TIE stampede
spirit prepares the victim. The
wild-catter has the most alluring
story to tell. The truth about an
ore deposit is not big enough to
captivate the mau who is mad for
bonanza. The skillful liar can
catch the most grasping speculator,
for he can make his lodges and
their value to suit his victim.
This accounts for the fact that
more work is done in new districts
on wild cat prospects than on the
lodges that eventually make the
mines. The big mines, past and
present, do not produce fabulously
rich ore. The richest mines in the
world average less than ten dollars
to the ton. The wild-catter always
has stories of hundreds and even
thousands Of dollars in values for
his victims. Their stories are big
ger than ordinary true statements.
The true statement of values there
lore, does not catch the inexper-
fenced investor as readily as the
wildcat values catch him. On the
other hand the wild caters can
secure control of the mining claims
which are not the most meritorious
more readily than he can secure
control of the really good ones
Therefore, every good mining dis
tlict has its season of wildcat boom
methods which do inestimable
harm by the reaction that f,llows
the boom occasioned thereby. The
practical, conservative mining men
should unite and stay the influence
OF the wild.catter in the Lewiston
district.

Buffalo Hump Camp.

New interest has been aroused in
the Buffalo Hump camp by the
sale Of many important interests In
the past few months. The camp
has gone through period of spec
ulation and doubt, aud faith in its
richness Is now stronger than ever
before. The ore bodies have not
been explored to great depth, but
The values of the exposed lodges
have been fully confirmed by all
manner of scientific tests.
Buffalo Hump is to be one of the
great camps of the world. The
doubts that have been thrown
around the camp by chronic growl-
ers and bear movements of specu.
lators could not seriously retard
development, so great was the sur.
face showing.
1t deep workings had been re-
quired to show up this camp, as
has been necessary in all other
great districts, Buffalo would have
remained blank in the mountain
wilderness for ages to come. The
Importance Of the camp is due to
merit that no pcssimism or even
designs could conceal. This fact
establishes the place of Buffalo
Hump in the history of the min
ing camps of the world.
Buffalo Hump has had its boom,
Its depressing influences, and it
has revived by force of intrinsic
wealth that could not be detracted
from or concealed for the purposes
OF speculation.

The Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon, of To-
peka, who has become famous by rea-
son of his late book, I'm His Steps,"
will assume entire editorial control and
business management of the Topeka
Capital one week, beginning March
18th. Rev. Sheldon will endeavor to
exemplify, during his weeks publica-
ton of the Capital, the manner in
which Jesus would conduct newspa
per if He were here on earth, and the
managed with such high purpose is
awaited with deep interest everywhere.
We do not believe we have reached
that Utopia of civilization where a
daily paper conducted on this basis
could long exist but the new depart
ure for short period of one week will
doubtless succeed beyond the dreams of
its promulgators. and certain it is that
nothing can be lost. Whether Rev. Shell
don's idea as to what Christ would do
were He publishing newspaper in this
state and nation, is in harmony with
that of other reform thinkers, remains
yet to be learned. Our humble opinion
is that there would be such volley of
censure poured into those who now SIT
in high places of public trust that the
incident of the money changers in the
temple would fade into insignifcance
But we do not want no speculate. We
would rather wait and see.

The Alva Courier made an indecent,
untruthful political attack on County
Attorney Dunn of Woods county few
weeks ago in relation to some taxes
due from the George Parker cattle, and
now the sheet aforesaid Is in an embar-
RAISING position. 1t was this way:
The parties holding mortgage on Park
er's cattle foreclosed and took charge
of them, but there were taxes due the
county on Parker's personally and the
mortgages at first refused to pay the
entire amount, claiming that half of the
tax was due from other property held by
Parker, but later they paid the full
amount rather than to go through the
courts. The next week the Courier
stated that County Attorney Dunn
used his influence to induce the COM
mlssioners to compromise on basis of
fifty per cent. A. l.. Noble, of this
city, was the mortgages attorney and
when he heard of the Courier's attack
he wrote letter to Mr.. Dunn. in which
lie brands the statements untrue. Mr..
Noble wrote the letter unsolicited.
The laugh is on the Courier and it will
probably be more careful to publish
facts hereafter.

A STATEMENT FROM DIR. MOORE.

DIR. W. II. Moore has prepared the
following with reference to tie recent
smallpox scare. 1t is a concise state
ment and covers the facts in the case.
All parties now concede that there are
no cases OF small pox in MedicineLodge
or Barber county:
For some time this city and county
have been greatly excited over what
the public thought was smallpox, and
it seems as though everyone was anxi-
Gus to spread the erroneous report that
smallpox was abroad in the land, and
especially ia Barber county. The scare
originated through visit Oscar Neale
and wife. of Blackwell, Oklahoma.
made to their pareDts-James Neale
and John Blair-near Sharon. While
there Mr.. Neale broke ont with what
he supposed was chickenpox, or what
some physicians call Cuban chicken
pox and Others smallpox.
saw Mr.. Neale the day he left for
home and he was broken out badly all
over the face from the size of pea to
a FIVE cent piece. 1t was to me a
strange kind of chickenpox and I sent
direct to DR.. r. NJ. Higgins, of Web.
ster Grove, Mo-, for vaccine virus. ex
planning to him the nature of this ca Sc.
He replied that it was known as Cuban
itch. brought from Porto Rico by our
soldiers, but that it had not proven to
be fatal here az YET
also wrote DR. Packer. OF Usage
City. member Of the state hoard of
health. Ha informed ma that it was
ferocious disease but not necessarily
fatal; that it would conline the victim
from two to four days but would leave
no scars. He said it should be auaran-
tined from Is to 81 DAYS.
Now. have we the Cuban Itch or
smallpox in Medicine Lodge? l say
no. DR.. Moessner and myself visited
two families on last Saturday where 1T
was reported to be. but found the re-
port to be a mistake and nothing to
justify it.
trust that should the disease come
among us everyone will do his utmost
to keep it isolated. DIR. MOORE
