Germs By Mail.

Dr. Wingate, Secretary Of the State
Board of Health, has received word ol
three new cases of smallpox In the
state, two at Eau Claire and one al
Wild Rose, small town in the north
ern part of Waushara County. In
both instances prompt quarantine reg.
ulations were adopted, and the local
health officers report no fear of a
spread of the disease. The origin oi
the case at Wild Rose has not been
accounted for The two cases at Eau
Claire are attributed to infection from
letter which was received a short
time ago from West Virginia. The
letter had been duly perforated and
fumigated, but it is believed the in
fection was not complete and that
the germs Of smallpox clung to the
missive despite the precautions.
Dr. Wingate says chat in reference
to the matter of the Christian Science
healers which has been referred to the
OIdIe DOdTu VI mtuiCdi EAdiuiucIS ny
Health Commissioner Schulz. he be-
lieves the state law does not reach
these people, and that no prosecutions
can be made.
At the Health Office the officials
state that they are not much concern
ed over the practise of Christian
Science. as 1t is purely matter for
the patient or the parents of child tc
exercise their discretion In the man
ner of treatment, but decided objection
is taken to the failure or neglect to re-
port cases of Contagious diseases. II
Christian Science healers would
diagnose cases Of dlphtheria, scarlet
fever, measles, etc., and report them
promptly 10 the Health Office, not
much complaint would be offered

A Big ine.

The denizens of the second floor OF
the Mills Building were kept in a con-
dItion bordering on nervous prostra-
ton by the strange noises and rumb-
llngs that emanated from the story
above them yesterday afternoon and
evening while the local lodge of Elks
was in session. No doubt they were
net half SO much in danger of theii
lives as the fifteen luckless candidates
who were initiated into the mysteries
Of the order.
At nine o'clock last evening the
body went to the Norwood where
they passed into social session and en-
joyed themselves until the morning
hours at the banquet table.

The Southern Oil Company drilled
in a big gas we'll near Weston, Tues
day evening and its owners say it is
the biggest well-of its kind in the
world today. 1t is located on the
Flesher farm, three-fourths of a mile
northeast of the Camden well. 1t has
a gauged production of 100000 cubic
feet day an dis entirely beyond con-
troll.
The gas was found on top of the
fifth sand and 1t has a rock pressure
of HOO feet to the square inch. II
has begun to fall off some and as soon
as 1t is possible. 1t will be packed
and the gas shut in. Signs of oil are
shown and the owners are of the opin-
ion that an oil we'll will be drilled in
by the great pressure of gas.
The well Is visited daily by crowds
of spectators. who will not realize un-
til the we'll is seen that the pressure is
so great. Heavy pieces of wood and
iron wer blown skyward. The roar
of the escaping gas Is so great that 1t
is utterly impossible to hear ones
own words.
Oil men are positive that Lewis
county will prove second Mcdonald
pool and that the biggest wells ever
drilled In this state will be found there
Already number of wells are being
put down by the Southern Oil Co.,
which has about 1000 acres of land

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

Deafness is caused by an infiimed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets lnilamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed deafness k the result, and unless the inilama- ti can be taken out and this tube restored to it's normal condition, hear. ing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out of n are caused by catarrh, which is nothing hut an inflated con- diti0n of the mucous surfaces.

 Bravin was shot through the calf of the right leg, the bullet passing through and cutting off two toes of the left foot. His wounds were not dangerous and he is In fair way to recover.
 As stated above the escapes started toward the Whetstone mountains, northward; but as soon as they were at safe distance, and beyond obser- vation, they defected their course to the westward, and the posses lost their trail. That evening they appearen at Colonel W. c. Lands ranche, west of the San Pedro, where they left their two horses and took three belonging to the ranche, telling the man In charge that they would leave them at Miller's ranche at Mescal springs, in the Whetstone mountains. This they did early Sunday morning, taking out of the stable unobserved, two horses belonging to Mrs. Crane and one the property of MT. Miller himself. From there they no doubt continued west ward, crossing the Santa Cruz at the Papago reservation and making to. ward the Qaijotoa country, where they can readily slip into Mexico, in sparsely settled region, difficult for tracing them. It is said that Stiles had some twelve hundred dollars with him.

Jsii Delivery at Tombstone.

last week there came word from Tombstone of peculiar jail delivery at that place which, in the incidents leading up thereto and following with the peculiar outcom justities extend ed description at this date.
 It will be recollected that upon the evidence of one of the confederates. William Stiles, Burt Afford and M-tt Burts were arrested for complicity in the C0chise station train robbery last September. He also implicated in that robbery Bravo John,n William Downing and the O ven brothers, who were concerned in the more recent train robbery at Fdirbank. All these had been lodged some time in the jail at Tombstone, save Burts, who was recently arrested in Utah, where he was found working up1n ranch herding cattle. Friday evening Burts was taken to Tombstone and lodged in jail having been inst brought from Utah, Deputy Sheriff Sid Mullen and Special Officer John Thacker, Wells Fargo & Cl's chief detective having the accused bandit in charge. Wm Stiles, the territory's witness, was with the party, to appear in Burts' preliminary examination the follow iDg day.
 Saturday afternoon the examination uf Burts was to be held, and the prl. soner had been taken down to the justices court by Deputy Sheritf Mullen, assisted by the usual guards at the jail, leaving Deputy Sheriff George Bravin a.one in charge. Stiles, who up to this time had helped the officers in every way against his pals, and who was not dreamed capable of of helping jail break, entered the jail, and thrusting six shooter at Deputy Bravin, who stood in front of the jail room, and commanded him to deliver the keys to the jail. Brayin pIuckily knocked at the pistol, and at the sane instant Stiles fired. and the deputy fell Bravin was unarm ed, having left his gun on the office desk while temporarily stepping into the jail room Stiles in an instant se,ured the keys, opened the jail room and cells and Invited a general dell. very. But two of the twenty.four prisoners took advantage of the op- portunitY-Burt Alvord and "Bravu J0hn.n These two, with Stiles, hur- ried to the front office, where they siezed three Winchesters and two re- vOlvers and made their escape, the three going to a ranch just below town, where a couple of horses were grazing, which they took and rode away, one animal carrying double. They rode in the direction of the DragoOn mountains. Soon the alarm was given and several posses were or. ganizeg aud sent out after them.
 At the first opportunity some Of the other prisoners seemed inclined to take advantage ol the opportunity to escape, and the coolness and readiness of the unarmed and wounded deputy, George Bravin, was probably all that prevented general jail delivery. As the lladerman Brothers, the con- demned murderers came out Bravin spoke 10 hem and advise them not to go, assuring them they would not have time to escape. They took his advice and returned to their cells. Wm. Downing, one of the accused Fairbank train robbers refused to go at all, as did the Owen brothers, also implicated therein. One prisoner
