THE MOSQUITOES FINISH.

ne MOS(OlZVS <ZVZSA.
The n-American Medical Con-
gress, recently in session at Havana,
has agreed to bo:d the festive mos
quito responsible for the pro2aga-
ton of yellow fever. The gray
legged variety is said 10 he particu-
larly gifted in the transmission of
the disease and il is even asserted
that the female is more to be feared
than the male mosquito. This last
assertion, however. will be accepted
by laymen as a gratuitous fling at
the gentler sex.
1t was believed that the yellow
fever m,crobe could live only in
dirt and that with the removal of
the dirt the microbe was bound to
seek a more congenial home, but
the experience of Gen. Wood at
Santiago seems to have exploded
that theory. Santiago was a very
dirty town and it surprised no one
that it was a veritable hot-bed of
"Yellow- Jack" Gen. Wood, who
is a physician, had the place
thoroughly disinfected and put in
first-class sanitary condition. Then
the doctor went to Boston and told
the people there what an easy thing
it was to rid Santiago of the fever,
but he had hardly concluded his
expl- nation of how it was done,
that he was called back to the
Cuban city by a fresh outbreak of
the disease in epidemic form. This,
of course, knocked-out the dirt
theory. In the face OF such evil
dence science was compelled to
look elsewhere for the fiend and in
it's commenhable efforts to find him
it has secured proofs, positive and
circumstan tlal, which point to the
mosquito as the real villain of the
tragedy. The mosquito is not with
OUT defender, however. DR..
Wyman, chief of the United States
Marine Hospital Service, IS disin-
clin.d to cept the proofs offered
as conclusive of the mosquitoes
guilt. He prefers to wait awhile
before joining in the verdict of the
Pan-American Medicals. Knowing
that the decision may result in the
total extin ction of the gray-legged
variety of mosquitoes, the doctor
does not believe that the case should
be too lightly passed upon.
Down here IN Louisiana the peo-
pie will likely accept the theory OF
the Pan-American Medicos. All OF
US who have slept in a Crowley
hotel or who have spent some time
at Cheniere- aux igres know tina,
| the average mosquito IS mean
enough to do anything, and if it Is
its proud privilege to inoculate the
human race with the yellow 1eve'
poison we know that i, will wan.
| tonly- exert all its characteristic en-.
ergies in that direction. We there
fore gladly welcome the discovery
of the Havana congress and wish il
godspeed in the crusade which il
has inaugurated against mans mos,
perverse and wicked enemy.
In the language of the street,
awe see your finish, Mosquito!'

Porto Ricans evidently feel that
whether the constitution follows the
flag or not, the river and harbor
appropriation bill oughtto. Yester-
day the first petition ever sent from
the Legislature of Porto Rico to
Congress was received in the Senate,
harbor of San Juan. 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on COM
merce, where it is quite likely to die
from neglect. AS there are no
votes to be gained in Porto Rico, it
would hardly be expected that Con-
gress would appropriate money for
harbor Improvements there. -Da,ly

Publish the Disbursements.

On account of:the large and annu.
ally increasing amount of money,
handled by village officials people
are anxious to know how it has been
expended and naturally they should.
The state law provides that for the
purpose Of keeping the common peo-
pie informed concerning the disposi-
tion of moneys paid by them into the
general fund, the proceedings of the
County Commissioners, the Legisla-
ture and other administrative bodies
must be published in the local papers.
In this way the people know what is
being done and the approval or con-
demnation of their acts, of necessity,
follows, The blue prints are fine
pieces of work and minute in details,
but they do not afford voters chance
to take them home and consider the
wisdom of the expenditure. State
and county auditors could post their
statements in public places and then
say to the people if you want to know
where the money has gone, come and
consult the poster. Villages around

or get on solid ground again and con-
tinue to improve. That will be for
us as citizens to say next Tuesday.
We are at the cross roads now. T..
Attorney Annes gave IAN excellent
talk, comparing the present conditions
with those of the years when we had
no saloons. While it was deplorable
that men by violating the law made
it possible for boys to pick up en-
pity beer and whisky bottles, yet the
boys must have been disguised with
that which had to be done in the back
alley. They could see that law was
against the business. :And he would
sooner see his boy pick up an empty
beer bottle now and then have him
going by the saloons where, behind
drawn blinds, men were drinking and
cursing, ana an obnoxious stencil
coming out through the open doors
to enter which place one must first
be a man. There was do doubt about
there being vastly more stuff sold.
Before saloons were opened you
could fud no place in town where ct
almost any hour in the day men were
lining up for drinks to treat and be
treated. Without saloons conditions
would be better and the illicit selling
of liquor could be restrained, though
he did not believe it was wise to un-
dertake the inquisitiopary method of
about year ago. By those methods
the conservative element of the town
had been alienated and the conse-
quence was we got the saloons. The
votes Of these people are necessary to
keep the saloons out, and he believes
that this year we will get this vote.-

License How Ii Worked at
AT Windcn.

lhe question OF license or no license
was discussed at the Baptist church
last Sunday evening" g by some of our
business men. Those on the platform
We're, Messrs. Annes, G. W, Gillian,
Sherwin, Burdick, W. J. Clark, j. G.
Gourley and Mr.. Erickson. Mr..
Borst was chairman of the meeting.
The building was packed with an au-
dience that was not slow in showing
it's disapprobation of the licensed
saloon Mr.. Sherwin, who was the
first to open the ball,
spoke from the standpoint of
good business. They, as lumbermen,
had seen that the saloon was inimical
to their business. There was mark
ed change in many of their customers.
Besides this there was the moral
phase, which any good citizen should
not overnook.
G. W.Gillam was attentively listen
ed to. He called the peoples atten-
tion to the conditions existing in Win
dom previous to the time that license
was voted out some fiften years ago,
and stated that at that time Window
had the reputation of being the
toug CHEST town in this section of the
country, and that when the people
voted out the saloon a good many of
the saloon men in this vicinity as we'll
as in other towns said that Window
had killed it's trade and would ruin
the business of the town. But what
has been the result. He went on to
show that since we voted them out
our business continued to increase
and our city commenced to build new
buildings and nice homes because Of
no saloons. He also weht on to show
how many Of our foreign friends had
hired the money to pay their traus~
portation to<this city and after arriv-
ing here had gone to work on the
railroad and other work they could
get to do, at from 81 to $l.5O per day,
and under the system of no.license
built themselves homes, furnished
them and had them paid for, and had
paid the money back that they hired
to pay their transportation, and were
living happy and comfortable, a con.
dition of affairs that could not possi-
bly, have existed under the licencse
system. He did not see how .busi-
ness men could vote license when it
took thousands Of dollars out of their
business and put it over the bar of
the saloon, made their accounts
poorer, and compelled them to sell
goods high SO as to overcome their
loss. He believed they could afford
to pay the 5000 license money
rather than have saloons and get the
money into the legitimate channels Of
trade, and avoid some loss or other
on poor accounts. People cannot
| spend $4,000 to $4,000 in saloons
and spend it with the merchant too.

Could Not Report Golf.

When the amateur golf championship
was played at Wheaton in 1897 there
was but ole Chicago newspaper man
who had the remotest conception of
what the game was. Accordingly, the
newspapers, with the exception of the
Chicago Tribune, agreed to syndicate
the work and put it all in this one
mans hands. The Tribune refused to
enter the combination and depended
upon the eXertions of a member of its
own staff. But the Tribune reporter
speedily realized his helplessness and
appealed to his brother of the syndicate
for aid. The latter obligingly handed
over his copy, and the Tribune man set
20 work to make few minor changes
so that its kinship to the original should
not be too apparent Later in the
evening he met his generous bene-
factor and told him of the changes he
had made.

doubt existed in the minds of neigh,
bors as to the cause and source of the
death of Mrs. Nathan Townsend and
her two children, boy and girl, aged
J and 10, the coroner, Dr. Morris of
Gagetown, was summoned. He sub
poenaed jury of six men. Nathan
Townsend and M. M. Wickware were
sworn and testified to the circum-
stances surrounding the case. The
Jurors gave their verdict that death
was caused by the use of laudanum,
and the children were killed by the
woman with the same drug. Mrs.
Townsend became respondent because
of the sale of the farm and their be.
longings. She thought her husband
would spend the money in drink.
