The ~disgraceful behavior of the Penn
~sylvania troops at the Inauguration in
Washington, where they destroyed pri-
vate property, tortured negroes and re-
sisted the police, will doubtless result
in their being kept at home hereafter.
especially if the Keystone State shall
be mulcted for several thousand dol
lars damages in suits which will be
pressed by injured 'Washingtonians.
In view of the behavior of these sol
diers some credence may be placed in
the horrible tales of brutality and out
are occasionally waited across the Pa
cifc from the Philippines.

THE VALUE OF VACCINATION

Rayages of Smallpox in the Early
Eighteenth Century-Virtue of In
O%cuIntion First Known in Asia or
Africa-Cotton Mather's informal
tiOu-Jenner and the True Method
Prejudice That Dies Hard.
New York Evening Post.
Smallpox has been, as Macaulay said,
'one of the most terrible OF all min
listers of death" Before the discovery
of vaccination. there were instances of
the destruction of one-third of COM
munities that it visited, leaving ter
rible traces of it's power in the sur
vivors. 1t was reckoned that one
third of all the blind had been made
so through its agency, and Macaulay,
in depicting the melancholy condition
of England in the early part Of the
eighteenth century, said: Smallpox
was always present, filing the church
yards with corpses, leaving in those
whose lives it spared the hideous trace
of its power, turning the babe into a
changeling at which its mother shud-
dered, and making the eyes and cheeks
of the b~ethrothed maiden objects of
horror TO her lover" Even in the later
years of that century, the recently de-
ceased Mrs. Croasdale testified that so
rare was il to meet a person who was
not pitted, he was pointed out as hay-
ing a smooth face" just as now We
notice and mention a person whose
face is marked with smallpox. 1t is
difficult for us, who live s~erenely and
safely in protected, i. e., vaccinated
communities, to realize that if that
beneficent precaution were omitted we
should be just as much at the mercy
of this scourge as people were two
hundred years ago.
No race Or climate is exempt, and it
was left to the dusky sons of the Orient
or to the nor dusky sons of interior
Africa, to discover a way of combating
its rayages. for they learned the miti-
eating effects of the virus, if voluntar-
lily inserted under the skin, in the
operation known as incubation for
smallpox. which was one of the steps
that led up to vaccination. Cotton
Mather combined the Offices of minis
ter and medical writer Che was a ply
sician). and in his Angel OF Bethesda
(circa 172D he has a chapter, va
rjnlae Triumphatae." in which be says:

terests and keep the flag Of their choice

ands' without an American army 65,-
coo strong to help them"
For straight-faced, solemn humbug
William Mckinley surely takes the
palm. History has not his equal in
the art of examining arrant nonsense
down the popular throat and making
his hearers-for the time being at
least-believe it.

CONSERVATIVE ELEMENT
In the ID Constitutions Conven-
ton Scored q victory.

HAVANA, March THE Cuban con-
stitutional convention met in secret
session this afternoon for a formal
discussion of the Plat amendment. The
conservative element scored a victory.
1t was decided to continue the sessions
Of the convention and to refer the
amendment to the special committee
on relations with instructions to bring
in a report.
The argument turned on the question
whether the convention had power to
adopt a scheme Of relations that would
be binding upon the future republic.

THE RESULT.

The alleged efforts of the grand jury
in session Wednesday and yesterday
to investigate, at the suggestion of
Criminal Judge T. ]. Hugus, the cur
rent allegations of bribery in connec-
tion with certain phases of life and
action at the City Hall, resulted just
about as expected, for mo definite
trace of anything improper was dis
covered.
OF course not. The jury was in TOO
much of a rush, and took precious
good care that the right people were
not summoned before it. The PLAZA
English of it is. the pretended investi-
CATION was no investigation at all. Not
n witness who could possibly know
anything more than heresay was sum-
moned. There was no effort to send
for persons who would have personal
knowledge, or for papers which might
incriminate somebody. But one mem
Der Of either the present Of the late
Council was cited to appear, and there
was no inspection of records in the
light of current allegations. A matter
of the grave nature alleged by popu-
lar report. cannot be investigated prop
erly in an afternoon nor yet in a day.
1t might take several days or "a week
to get at the bottom of the thing, and
either disprove IT, upon such evidence
as would be conclusive, or make such
returns of true bills as a different
state of facts might call for.
AS the matter stands, nobody will be
either satisfied or convinced, and The
old rumors and the general belief in
the misuse of money for local legisla-
tive purposes will continue to gain
force. Judge Hugus well realized the
gravity of the popular suspicion, but 1t
appears the gentlemen of the grand
jury did not. That is to be regretted.
How would it do to summon a spe-
cial jury, with direct instructions to
20 after the right witnesses? Ii the
suspicion and allegation of bribery is
true, there are people in the city of
Wheeling and county of Ohio VINO
know all about it, and they can be
easily reached. The summoning of
newspaper men is both a cheap and
transparent evasion. for, as far as is
known, no newspaper man has either
bribed any one, or been bribed in re-
turn. What is needed is a little deep
er probing under the surface, for no
sore was ever healed by random
scratching. If a grand jury is to strike
what is popularity known in the West
as ''pay dirt" it must summon others
than newspaper editors and reporters.
The way to results, if any are to be
achieved, lies in another direction.

DOUBLY SAD
ranged by the Loss of Her Lover,
Driven to Suicide by n Joke.

BINGHAMTON, N. Y, March T.
News has been received in this city
from Sayre, Pa. of the tragic suicide
Tuesday of Miss Lola Wilson. a beau
tiful girl IS years of age. The girls
mind had been affected since the death
of her lover, several months ago, and
her death. it is alleged, was the result
of a practical joke, perpetrated by some
girl friends.
The girls. by means of a speaking
tube, pretended that the dead mans
voice was calling, and the listening
victim heard the Tords come with
me-" That evening she swallowed an
ounce of carbolic acid and expired in
agony shortly afterward.

DANGERS OF THE STOCK MARKET.

DANGERS OF THE STOCK MARKET.
The failure of John e. Searles, eX-
Secretary of the Sugar Trust, and con-
nected with a dozen or more concerns
of various degrees of prominence and
stability, was not a surprise to Wall
street, who understood the peculiar
character of Mr.. Searles and the num-
erous irons he had in the financial
furnace. Mr.. Henry Clews thus speaks
of his failure:
1.-The great trouble with Searles has al
ways been that he never learned to say
No Every man who had a new scheme
went to Searles. Searles always received
him and gave him encouragement. He
was rot a self-reliant man. He would
take the judgment of anybody beside his
own. Any wild proposition seemed feas-
ible to him. He made money by hard
work and his success came when he was
with the sugar people. After he left them
and tried to speculate on his own account
he made a failure. 1t is the natural re-
suit of men who seek to gain greater
riches by quick speculation when they
are not fitted for the work. Searles was
too good natured. That was his main
trouble. A man cannot make friends with
every one in Wall street"
MIR. Searles was, in short, a member
of the lamb fraternity in Wall street,
although he was ION the inside of
numerous big ventures and was in po-
sition to have made much money. He
was simply so constituted that he
could not resist investing IN
every gold brick that came his way.
Such a mar is bound to fail in any
business he undertakes. He was re-
tired from the Sugar Trust because of
his penchant for specializing in that
class of concerns known in Wall street
as cats and dogs" and the immed-
late cause of his failure was an ill
advised attempt to control the cotton
market.

1t is a matter OF general regret that
the excitement and discomfort attend
ing the Inauguration and the weather
have proven too much for Mrs. McKin-

fully recover on her southern trip.

Terrible Accident.

On Sunday evening while out hunting
ing with two other comrades in the vi
cinity of Swan Lake. Nick Carpen was
somehow accidentally shot in the small
of the back at such close range that the
entire charge entered in bunch tearing
a large hole. The young man died at
one o'clock Monday after suffering in
tense pain. He was conscious for some
time and said that it was the discharge
from one of the other guns but the 9Th
er two fellows claim that it was his own
gun. He did not blame the others and
no charge of malice has been made.
The young man was only twenty one
years old, strong and healthy and per-
son weli-liked. His home was in Hast.
ings, to which place his body will be
taken for burial. It is terrible mis-
fortune and one that should teach les
son to all hunters and especially young
fellows who are usually very carless in
the way they carry their guns.

II to Nothing.

The New Ulm high school foot ball
team went to st. Peter on Saturday and
played matched game with the school
team of that city and were badly done
up the score being as given above. It
was vely one-sided game. The St.
Peter boys had the advantage of super
ior training and consequently greater
skill, in which the New Ulm boys were
handicapped. It was nice game while
1t lasted. A disagreement in the last
half of the game delayed it somewhat
and marred the pleasure but all differ
ences were finally adjusted and when
the team was ready to go home large
number Of the high school pupils were
at the train to say farewell. The New
Ulm team needs encouragement and in
struction before it goes up against an
other practiced team like st. Peter. On
the coming Saturday there is. to be a
game played in this city between the
local team and Sleepy Eye and the boys
are confident with the experience that
they now have that they can put up
pretty good game. The boys need
second team In this city for practice
purposes. The line up of the team is as
follows: Ed. Juni center, Fred Hubbard
right guard, Henry Grussendorf left
guard, Herbert Setter right tackler, d.
Mowery left tackler, Arthur Dengler
