HAVEN'T HOUSES ENOUGH
Kingffsher's Boom Bigger Than the
Towns Present Capacity.

Kingfsher o. T., Feb. 10.-There is a
lack of dwelling houses in Kingfisher
The Reformer explains the matter thus:
The news of the building of the Kingfish-
er and Guthrie line by the Rock Island,
and the work which is being done on the
Denver and Gulf is bringing many new
faces into town almost daily, and owing
to the many persons moving in from the
country and the many constantly COM
ing from Kansas and other states, seek
ing an opening for investment, Kingf1sher
at present is pressed for dwelling houses.
The ring of the carpenters hammer and
the bricklayer's trowel can be heard ev-
erywhere. Kingfisher is the greatest pri-
mary wheat market IN the world and
within few months will be second to
none in the territory in point Of popula-
ton and volume of business,

COTTON FACTORY AT SHAWNEE
negotiations Under Way for n SEQ, 900
Plant.

Shawnee. o. II, Feb. 1O.-The Democrat
says: Several capitalists in conference
with a number of our leading business
men last night agreed upon the construc-
ton of a cotton factory. The building is
to cost about $4,000. Articles of iRcor-
poration are to be filed at an early date.
Watch the Democrat for plans and spec
ifications of the building. This is one of
the greatest self-sustaining elements that
Shawnee has obtained during her brief
history. 1t will be the making of this
section of the country and the perman-
ent upbuilding of Shawnee. This is only
one of the many public enterprises that
win be established in Shawnee in the
near future. If you don't think that
Shawnee is progressive, just watch her.

with the result that the safety OF that
community has been assured. We believe
that authority always rests. with law or
without law, with the authorities, to do
phatever is necessary for the protection
of the health and lives Of the community,
and men who are not willing to take this
much responsibility should refuse to hold
the official positions in which such au-
thority could only rest. 1t is outrageous
to say that because there is no specially
worded statute authorizing 1t, that. there
fore, no official steps could be taken to
prevent the spread of pestilence in
community of men. women and children.
There is common law authority for this,
and no man who is afraid to shoulder
such a humane and necessary response
bility should ever pretend to serve the
people In an Official capacity"

HUMORS OF A SMALLPOX PANIC
Oklahoma Contributor Foxes Fun at
Quarantine and Quarantiners.

The following is contributed by an Ok
lahoman who is evidently not at all in
panic regarding the smallpox. He poke
fun at the health authorities in rhyme
| as follows:
There is now and then a smallpox case
In the country round about;
But our doctor on the board of health
Couldn't tell it from the govt.
To prove to you these words of mine,
Just for little fun
I'll tell to you a thing or two
Our doctor man has done
He came across a poor old man
With pimples on his face.
And swore he had the smallpox,
And guaranteed the place.
The man was eighty years Of age.
And gray as he could be,
And said he had those pinples
Since the days of Sixty three"
But, no; it was no use to kick
The doctor knew 1t we'll
He knew 1t was the smallpox
He knew it by the smell.
He quarantined an empty house
Just in the edge of town,
For as he passed that way he saw
The window curtains down.
A dog had crawied beneath the house
"a man who told me vowed
And died, the week before, and now
Was smelling pretty loud.
The doctor quarantined the house;
He said he knew burned well
That family had the smallpox
He could tell it by the smell.
He quarantined on right and left
Till everything stood STILL
He quarantined the depot
Would have guaranteed the mill,
But when they saw him coming
They opened up a flask
Of ten-year-old Kentucky rye.
Result? What need to ask7
He took good old "swig'' or two
And shifted the bottle well,
And said: ''You have no smallpox here
1 know it by the SMELL
And then he took a trip abroad
To magnify his skill,
But when he got to Newkirk
He surely got his fill.
He went to see a patient there
Who lay quite sick in bed,
And scarcely had he reached the place
Till this is what he said:
DO you know you have the smallpox
l smell it sure as toast"
"Oh, no, you are mistaken, sir,''
Was the answer of the host.
''No, I am not" the doctor said,
81 need not see the face;
know by all the odors here
There's smallpox on the place.
I'm on the Territorial Board
That honor, sir. is mine.
I'll go and get flag at once
And order quarantine
you have not seen the patient yeti
The good man next insisted;
Just step this way and see her. sir,
Before the case is listed
You have the smallpox, sure as fate"
He said, and looked so wise.
Indeed, I've not" the patient said,
With lightning in her eyes.
Il know just what you have" said he,
In his most pompous tone.
81 know you don't" the patient snapped,
$50 just let me alone
Just call him Smallpox if you like,
But I think it rather bold
For you to name my baby
Before he's one day old

HOW CONQUER MALARIA
THE EUCALYPTUS A SANITARY
AID.
BY Eliminating Marsh Land, Breeding
Places of Pcstiferous Organisms are
Destroyed and Health Follows.

Now that the United States is extend
ing it's realm into the tropics, any
means of waging successful warfare
upon malarial diseases, which, next to
filth diseases, are the most frequent and
destructive in tropical regions, becomes
a subject of national interest. DR.. John
Clifford, the founder of the Forester"
writes, in the January number of that
paper, of the high value of the eucalyp-
tus as a sanitary aid. He refers not to
the medicinal quality of it's oil, nor to
the mysterious influence in counterfeit
ing malaria which some persons attrib-
ute to its aromatic fragrance. Its chief
efficacy he thinks, is due to the fact
that 1t promotes drainage, acting upon
the soil like a powerful pump What
is most needed in fever districts, we
are told, is drainage, and this can be
obtained most quickly and economically
by planting the eucalyptus. He writes:
1.-THE cause of malarial fever is
known. 1t is due to minute ameboid
organism which breeds in warm, stag
nant, marshy places. Just how this is
communicated to the human body is a
question. Some say that the disease
turks in miasmatic vapors, and that
breathing the night air in certain places
is sufficient; others claim that drinking
water is the vehicle and others that
mosquitoes carry it from marshes and
inoculate our blood. No matter how it
reaches the human body, the indirect
cause remains the same. Once elimi-
nate the marsh land and you deprive
these pestiferous organisms, including
the mosquito, of their breeding place,
and thus indirectly reduce the amount
of fever.
1.-THE malarial condition of our south
is mainly due to the ill-treatment of
forest lands, and the formation of stag
nant marshes in consequence. 1t is a
noteworthy fact that the densely FOR
ested swamp regions, such as the Dis
NAL Swamp of Virginia and North Car
DINA, are free from malaria and per-
fectly healthy, while the adjacent
burnt-over pine and savanna lands are
famous for their unhealthfulness. Just
as the sanitary conditions of the Landes
of France and the Italian Campagna
were rendered healthy by tree growth,
so it is possible to improve the sanitary
condition of the southern United States
and West Indies.

HOME FOR TRANSVAALERS.


1t is said that scheme is on foot where
by the Kankakee valley may become thick
ly populated with people from the Trans
vaal and the Orange Free State of South
Africa. AS is well known there are thou
sands of acres of swamp land in the Kan
kakee valley, which, until the last few
years, was thought to be understandable
1t was fortunately discovered some years
ago. however. that in places where the
swamp land had been improved the soil
was peculiarly adapted to the raising of
sugar beets, celery and like vegetation.
Since that time the work of reclamation
has been going on very fast. until at the
present time fully two-thirds of the land
has been improved and is now ready for
cultivation. The land is drained by hun
dreds of miles of ditching, and the soil is
said to be fine. 1T is reported that the
owners of the land in the valley, in the
counties of Lake, Porter, Starke and La
porte. have combined for the purpose Of
sending agents TO South Africa and Hol-
land to encourage immigration tc this
country and settlement of the lands in
the Kankakee valley. Some of the Indiana
railroads, it is said, realizing the benefits
to be derived from a colonization OF the
valley, are showing a marked interest in
the scheme, and are said TO be encourage
ing il.
agents for the Afrikanders have come to
this country to look into colonization
schemes suggested by the Northern Pa
cific, the Great Northern and the Canadian
Pacific Railroad. Some of the roads Of
fered to give land to the Beers and do so
much toward developing the property. Ow-
ing to the severity of winter in the Terri
tories traversed by the lines the schemes
did not appeal strongly TO the agents. The
Beers are looking for lands adapted to the
raising of cattle and 10 general agricul-
tural purposes.

REISTER is PUNISHED
EVANSVILLE ATTORNEY IN CON-
TEMPT OF SUPREME COURT.
He Is Suspended from Practice for
Two Years-Some High
Court Rulings.

The Supreme Court yesterday heard the
contempt proceedings against William w.
Ireland and William Reister, two Evans
vile attorneys. and when the case had been
concluded pronounced as the judgment Of
the court that Mr.. Ireland be discharged,
but that Reister be adjudged guilty, sus-
pended from practice for two years, and
required to pay the costs, and that he be
confined in the Marion county jail until
the costs be paid or replevied- Reister gave
bond for the payment of the costs. with
w. w. Ireland and Frank Il. Posey as Sc
curities, and was released.
1t was charged that after the Supreme
Court had made a ruling unfavorable to
clients of these attorneys, and had called
attention to a defect in their transcript
the record was altered by slipping in a
sheet of paper remedying the defect, and
the court was then said in a brief not 20
have stated the facts as to the record BY
request of the Supreme Court the attorney
general last spring filed an information,
charging that Reister and Ireland had pre-
sented an altered record, and had charged
the judges with untruthfulness.
Affidavits were filed last June by Mr.. Ire
land, showing that he had nothing to co
with the conduct of the appeal nor with
the record, which was alleged to have been
changed, ultil after the alteration was
made. He also filed a large number of
affidavits from his neighbors, testifying to
his good character. He was therefore dis
charged.
Reister also denied having anything to
do with the changed record, but the court
disagreed with him.
The Appellate Court yesterday reversed
the case of Dustin M. Spalding VS.. Samuel
A. Baxter, holding that where a city
council orders the construction of a sewer
at the expense of the city, Ii cannot. after
the work is completed, assess the property
benefited and compel the property owners
to pay for il.
The case of the State, on relation of John
Milton Rhodes VS.. the Indiana Board of
Pharmacy, was affirmed by the Supreme
Court. The reiator sought to compel the
board to issue him license as a druggist,
without requiring him TO submit TO an ex-
animation, on the ground that he owned
and was operating a drug store when the
pharmacy law took effect.
The court held that he was not operating
a drug store when the law went into effect
and that he was not entitled to a license.

ENDORSED BY BISHOP.
Episcopal CanOns on Divorce APP
proved by Bishop Francis.

81 heartily and unreservedly indorse the
three canons on the subject of divorce
which will be laid before the General Con-
ference of the Episcopal Church in San
Francisco next October" said Bishop
Francis at his Central-avenue residence
last night. These canons take very adj
vanced ground. 1t is true continued the
bishop. but we have been working to-
wards them for years past The Episcopal
Church has always been a little stricter
on the subject of divorce than most of the
other denominations. but We have felt that
the lines should be drawn still more close
ly. The canons set forth in the Journal
are, of course, only tentative yet. Be
fore they are adopted into the law of the
church they must be presented to the two
branches of the General Conference and
the action OF these two bodies must be
concurrent. The conference is divided into
two distinct parts. the House of Bishops
and the House of Clerical and Lay Depu-
ties, the latter being termed the House
of Deputies for short. Both of these leg
islative bodies are i'm session at the same
time and place. and any action taken by
them concurrently, or, I'm other words,
unanimously, becomes binding upon the
church"
The bishop was asked what kind of evil
dence, in his opinion. could be brought to
the attention of the bishop OF a diocese
and two neighboring bishops for the call
ing together of whom one of the canons
provides, I'm order TO Justify the issuance
OF a special dispensation' 10 a divorced
person, granting them the privileges OF the
sacrament He declined 10 answer this
question on the very proper ground that he
might at some future date be required to
pass upon such n case, and hence pre-
ferred not to outline his policy I'm advance
The bishop did state, however. that no dis
pensation would be needed in the case of
an innocent party to divorce case which
was brought upon the regular statutory
and scriDtural ground.
