ton cities. The total number of

of nearly 10 per cent. The average
age at death in 1890 was BIZ years;

business in Lawton is overdone, and
already several proprietors of drink
ing resorts have decided to move.

Times correspondent to-day that II
saloon keepers who paid years IL

are making money. Seven men who
opened saloons August have sold

Justice to MIR. BRYAN.

The Constitution has declared that
the campaign of 1904 must furnish
its own issues, and that these issues
will Indicate the man of the hour for
the candidacy. To reach this result
successfully there must be no holding
back for the candidates or the issues
OF other days. They served their
time and now belong to history This
is as true of Mr., Bryan as of Mr.
Cleveland and of those who have pre-
coded them.
From this standpoint the Consti-
tuition is glad to note the change of
tone on the part of certain papers by
which the personal worth and integ-
rity of Mr. Bryan is recognized. But
the other day the Philadelphia Times
after season of unfair criticism of
MIR. Bryan, came out boldly and ac-
knowledged that such course was
wrong; that Mr.. Bryan as an emf
ment democrat, who had fulfilled
two commissions from his party,
was entitled to the respect and fair
dealing due one who had faithfully
performed IA given duty. Such men
are needed in the future, no matter
on which side they may have been in
the past.-Atlantic Constitution

X. c. Star.

X. c. Star.
Henry Thomas, a gardner living in
Sheffield, was fined $50 in police court
for beating his horse to death. He
was unable to pay the fine and went
to the workhOuse.
Thomas had backed his wagon
down to the Blue river to get a load
Ofwater, but after he had secured the
load the team was unable TO draw it
up the bank. One of the horses. an
old animal that was thin and weak,
did not pull to suit Thomas. and he
took it from the harness and beat it
over the head until it fell dead
Thomas claimed he beat the horse
with a board from a fence and that
the horse died from a fit and not
from the effects of the beating Wit
nesses said that Thomas pounded
the horse with clubs, which were all
broken by the force of his blows, and
that Thomas finally cut a green club
which endured until the horse fell
dead.

LEAVES HOME FOR POOR LEPER.
ST. Louis Physician Hopes to Find Cure
for Disease.

st. Louis, August 23--Leaying his
family, not knowing when he will be
able to see them again, isola ting him
self completely from the world. Or.
Louis Knapp will devote his life TO
nursing a poor Chinese leper, for
whom the city Of st. Louis has pro-
vided a home, and whom it will
support and care for as long az he
lives.
The leper may live ten or even tif
teen years longer. Until the China
man dies DR.. Knapp may be barred
from ever seeing any member of his
family Even then he may not be re-
united with his wife and children, for
he runs the risk of becoming Il leper
himself, aud so forever barred from
intercourse with the world.
Dr.. Knapp has entered upon his
duties as nurse for Dong Gong. the
leper. With his patient as his only
companion, DR.. Knapp will live in
three-room frame house now being
built near Quarantine. DR.. Knapp
is without fear of danger to himself,
and intends to improve his time by
making a thorough study ofleprosy.
He takes his library with him.
IF ia cure for leprosy is sever found, ="
he said, sit will be by some one who
has devoted years to the study Of an
actual case of the disease, and | am
not without hope that | may at least
contribute to such a discovery"
In spite of the warning given by
the health department to him as to
the five other applicants for the posi-
ton of nurse, DR.. Knapp believes
that he will be able to avoid any pos
sibility of contagion
''Leprosy is only mildly conta-
gious," he said. cit would be con
tracted only by living in the same
room with IA patient, or by the gross
est carelessness in handling articles
which had been infected by him.
Both of these dangers | shall careful
ly avoid"
DR.. Knapp is 10 years old. With
his wife and four children he lived at
No. 1922 Virginia avenue. The final
farewells between the physician and
his family were said before he went to
the health department to report for
duty. DR.. Knapp hopes that the de-
partment will allow him to make an
visit to his home
DR.. Knapp will prepare all the food
used by himself and his patient. The
from which Gong will be ex-
cluded, will separate the leper' room
from that of his nurse. Some ar
for musical diversion
will probably be made. DR.. Knapp
is Il pianist, and will endeavor to get
an instrument for use in his room
This case OF leprosy was discovered
two weeks ago by DR.. NJ. F. Engman
Of the St. Louis Polytechnic. The vic
tim was at once placed III confne-
ment. The principal manifestations
Of the diseaseis in ''anesthetic areas. :
On these parts of the body hot irons
,an be applied without causing pain,
and the flesh is insensible to the prick |
Of needles.
Dong Gong's house will cost 5000 |
and it will cost the city 81 300 year |
