WAS A PIPE DREAM.
"Dr" Shuman's Interview in Butte
Discredited at Home.

During the early part of the month Dir.
H. ~ Shuman was alleged to be in Butte
for the purpose of studying the smallpox
situation and was referred to as physi-
clan who had charge of the smallpox
epidemic in central Nebraska. where he
had such great success in stamping out
the disease that the government called
on him for reports and opinions. He is
alleged to have given to Surgeon Gem
eral Wyman. of the navy department.
these reports and to have received the
generals highest concentrations.
In connection with newspaper arti-
Gle reciting these alleged facts DIR. Shu-
man took occasion to severely criticize
the streets and alleys of Butte and this
aroused the wrath of Mayor Mccarthy.
who wrote to Nebraska to find out some
thing about the visitor. 4 few days ago
he received the following reply. the let
ter being written by one Of the best
known druggists in that section:
Hon. j. E. Mccarthy, Butte. Mont
Dear sir-ln reference to H. N. Shuman
would say that he is druggist from
Nebraska City, Neb He may have been
member of the State Pharmaceutical
board at one time. but never since the
establishment of the board, which was
IN 1897. have we had an epidemic of
smallpox in central or any other part
of Nebraska until within the last two
years. But even if we had such an epi-
denlc TO say that a chemist and drug
gist would be placed in charge of it
while competent physicians could be Sc
cured, IS nonsense pure and simple.

there were only twenty-five names on

AS there is no contest in the matter of

been extraordinarily negligent and this
negligence may have the effect of defeat

that the registration is by people oppos-

taken and It is suggested that the citizens

Insects must be looked upon as

in the spread of the pollen by which
certain plants are fertilized, and they
are thus important factors, not only in
Identifying our surroundings, but also
in the economics of the country. Des-
troy all the bees and you will destroy
one of the important forage plants
namely, clover. Other insects are in

flies cause an annual loss of about

There is a fort at Ambrosia and the
Holland government keeps a garrison
of soldiers there, but Mr.. LeMay has
never had occasion to call for assist

a peaceable set. Most every native in
that part of the country speaks the
Malay language, and the American has

The first well that was drilled on the
island by him struck gas at depth of
eighty-fve feet The great force of the
gas blew the tools out of the well and
they were carried up through the der

ten feet into the earth. The natives
