Smallpox at Cherry Creek.

R. W. Plumstead, principal of the
public school at Cherry Creek, states
that there are about ten cases of small
pox at that place among the Indians.
Visiting among the infected tribe at
Wells and the Indians around Cherry
Creek is the cause of the spread OF the
disease. Men have been sent from Ely
to the latter place to assist in keeping
the Indians 9uarantined.
Later-Since the above was placed in
type, c.. II. Stinson received letter
from Henry Phalan at Cherry Creek,

s GREAT DEMAND FOR FERTILIZERS.
Our Local Dealers Rushed With Orders
During Present Wheat Seeding.

The farmers are taking advantage of
the excellent weather we have been
having and are making every effort to
get through the seeding of wheat while
it lasts. The demand fsr fertilizers
has nearly overtaxed our local dealers,
Captain A. H. Smith and Mr., L. NJ.
Price. The former has had the bus
lest season he ever had. Last week
his supply on hand was so small that
on Monday morning a barge made a
special trip so as to enable him to meet
the demands.
L. M. Price especially has been
pushed to fill his orders, having ship
ped over 25 carloads to his out-of-town
customers alone, while at home he is
having all he can do to supply the
wants of his own community. We
are told that on several occasions as
high as twenty teams have been wait
ing at the mill for their supply.
We are glad to see the increased de-
mand on the part of our farmers for
fertilizers, and as the prospect for
good prices for wheat and corn is
bright, this will lend announcement
to our farmers for greater efforts in
the future.

SERIOUS FIRE NARROWLY AvERTED.
ClOtheshOrse Falls Against Stove in the
Kitchen of Mrs. L. N. Price.

Last Wednesday afternoon, while
Mr.. and Mrs. L. NJ. Price and family
were absent from the house, the
clotheshorse containing some valuable
clothing was blown over on the kitchen
stove and soon everything was ablaze.
Fortunately Mrs. Price was not far
away, and it so happened that while
she was sitting before a window in the
residence of Mrs. Joseph L. Beckett
she saw the fire before it had made
much headway. Assisted by her
friends, she rushed over and pulled the
burning clotheshorse out in the yard.
and extinguished the fire which had
caught to the woodwork in the kitchen.
Many clothes belonging to her and
her little children, were burned to a
crisp and the loss entailed will amount
to number of dollars.
The rear kitchen door had been left
open and puff of wind had blown the
clotheshorse and clothes over against
the stove. Had the fire gotten control
the wind was in condition for a sweep
ing cOnfagration.

strong sermon by Rev. Vaughan S.

parallel from the life of Queen Esther,
he showed that woman's power was
not with the ballot, but with her inft-
ence in the home, like that of Queen
Esther with King Ahasuerus in
saving the lives of her people. 1t was
a temperance sermon of particular
merit, and we'll pleased his large con.
