SMALLPOX SITUATION.
Three Cases Reported at
WeICh.

DR.. Fortner went to Welch yes
terday to examine some cases
thought to be smallpox. The
cases, three in number, are pro-
nounced to be genuine smallpox
and are in the school. W. j.
Gambill, a merchant and a very
reliable gentleman, was here yes
terday and says the people at
Welch generally don't believe it is
smallpox and that it is not serious
enough to attract any attention.
Mr.. Gambjll's boy had it and they
thought it was chicken pox. The
same story comes from all over
the country wherever the disease
has broken out. There has been
no deaths from the disease, and it
is Of such a mild form that the
people pay little attention to it
where they have it. However, it
would be very unwise for any one
to carelessly expose themselves as
it might develop into a more ma
lignant type. 1t is new generally
regretted that court adjourned last
week ss.the danger seems SO slight
and the disease itself of so little
consequence.

Every day for the past year an
old white COW has regularly ap-
piled at the back door of the Jour
nal Office for exchanges. 4" When
there is none she eats the scraps
of printed matter swept out by
the printers. The old cows love
for literature is something wonder
ful. There is hardly paper in
the territory which she does not
appreciate and thoroughly digest.
In fact we call her the "Review"
at times and sometimes the "pat-
ent inside" She has her prefer
ences, too, among the exchanges.
For instance, she seems to be fond
est OF the advertisements in the
Muskogee Phoenix. She belches
softly as she swallows the Fort
Gibson Post, especially as the poe
try, goes down. She chews con-
tentedly on the South McAlester
Capital, but the Muskogee Times
smallpox report seems to give her
the paunch trouble. Her capacity
is marvellous and the Purcell Reg
lister is all she scorns. The Che
cotah Enquirer she seems to con-
slider delicacy and caresses it af-
ter motherly fashion and swal-
lows without mastication. Fact
is this old COW has filed away in
her person much good and bad
literature-she's record and
when she dies she shall have a
tomb.-Eufaula journal.

Statistics will doubtless show
that there has been light inmi-
grafton of white settlers into the
Indian Territory during the last
year. The conditions have been
less favorable for white people in
the Indian country thar formerly
when there was no talk of allot-
ment, and no steps had been taken
to bring it about. The chaotic con-
ditions which now prevail here are
not calculated to bring big influx
of people, especially of the kind
of people who always, wherever
they go, want to own their own
homes, and where real estate can
be bad for The money. Another
year will perhaps not see a great
immigration from the states into
the Indian Territory for the reason
given.

A Submerged Forest.

There is a submerged forest on the
Columbia river between the Dalles and
the Cascade mountains According to
Mr.. G. z. Gilbert, the submergence
took place $50 years ago, and since
then the roots have been under water,
while the upper parts of the trunks
have been barred yearly at low water.
The bark is gone and the wood partly
wasted away, but some of it is firm
and looks fresh. This fact seems ow-
ing to the durable quality of the wood

suga douglassi.

Some Simple Remedies.

In one of the United States health
reports published in Washington a few
simple remedies for emergency uses
are suggested. Witch hazel is one and
is recommended as one of the quickest
soothers and restorers of a tired brain.
Battle the eyes and forehead freely with
the liquid and apply cloth wet with
it at the back of the neck.
Cloths wet in a strong solution of
borax water are very cool and healing

them on.
A tiny pinch of powdered borax
placed on the tongue and allowed to
dissolve slowly will almost instantly
stop a hacking, irritating cough that
may be disturbing one at night. The
same treatment relieves an ulcer in
the throat, and at the slightest irri-
tation or soreness of the throat a gar
gle Of salt water and borax will he

THE FIELD FRATERNITY.
Then Gods dear justice is revealed

When Gods dear justice is revealed
The kingdom that the Father planned
His children all will equal stand
As flowers in the field.
There each one has a goodly space
Each yeoman of the fiowery race;
Each has a foothold on the earth,
A place for business and for mirth.
No privilege bars flowers access
To earth's whole store of preciousness;
The flowers stand level on Gods floor
With equal nearness to his store.
And flowers, they have no private ends,
But stand together as close friends;
They send their beauty on all things,
An equal gift to clowns and kings.
They worry not; there is enough
Laid by for them of Gods good stuff
Enough for all, and so no fear
Sends boding on their blameless cheer.
This noble blessedness can be
In kingdoms of equality.
So from the field comes curious news,
That each one takes what it can use
Takes what its lifted cup can hold
OF skyey rain and beamy gold,
And all give back, with pleasure high,
Their riches to the sun and sky.
Yes, since the first star they have stood
A testament of brotherhood.
