The idea which took root IN Jenner's
mind and after quarter Of a century
of patient research developed into one
of the greatest medical discoveries I'm
htory. wes prompted by chance re-
mark OF "a milkmaid u was at a time
when nearly everyone was suffering
from the smallpox OF was in mortal
fear Of IT, Pit-marlSed faces were the
rule rather tha nthe exception and a
smooth faced man one without the
traces Of the disease was a rarity. The
milkmaid remarked that she could not
have the smallpox as she had the
"cowpox" The nthe query rose in
the minds OF physicians as to the effect
Of inserting this virus voluntarily in
the human subject. twenty-five years
later the question was solved. He
was able triumphantly to insert lymph
into the arm Of a healthy boy and he
then demonstrated his protective VOW
err by inoculatlng with the virus OF
smallpox in several incisions. Since
that time vaccination has been a great
ameliorating factor IN modern medl-
ca lscience.
Even at this day. however. htere are
those who strive 70 promote prejudice
against this beneficial measure. Sew

Their pilgrimage has met with little

Keep Your Money at Home
AN APPEAL TO THIS PEOPLE.

It is the ambition OF the citizens Of
Guthrie to have this city the metro
polls OF the territory. To do this
every citizen has a duty TO perform
by encouraging all branches Of man
ufacturing Ga city without factories
is dead) it does not matter how small

ed by every spirited citizen, and you
can do this by pathonizing home in
dustry ant have the pleasure of see
ing a small factory, animated by the
community compelled to send to
other states for more men.
Mr. I. segal has opened the New

recommended making the following
well known brands
The 10 cent cigars Governor

A few questions to be considered:
l. Do the manufacturers in ether
states pay our taxes to build cur pub
lie institutions and increase the valu-
alton Of property
2. Are the citizens OF oklahoma
justified In encouraging Eastern sweat
shop made cigars or any other line Of
goods which could be manufactured
here?
g. BY demanding home production,
will stimulate the Z snufacturers Of
other states to come here and start
branch factories, knowing the citizens
will demand their goods.
4. This territory must be the great
manufacturing district OF the South
west and it depends on the citizens for
help by asking for home production.
Yours respectfully,

from Pittsburg, Pa, two persons are
dead, three fatally injured aud forty
others more or less seriously hurt.
The dead are:

STATE Will Build
Contracts for Material and Will
Use Convict Labor.
IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE BIDS ON JOB


Failing b. secure bids on the con.
struction Of m administration build
Ing ut the penitentiary the board of
public lands and buildings has decided
to buy material and erect the building
with the aid Of convict labor Con-
tracts for building material were
awarded Mt n recent meeting of the
board. 1t is believed by the board that
the structure ear be erected with the
funds available.
The Legislature appropriated only
$4,000 for the building and the pur-
chase OF new cells. both OF which were
rendered necessary on account Of n fire
which destroyed the west cell house
and the old administration building.
Sixty cells have been bought by the
board at n cos of $4,000, leaving $751;
600 available for a building.
After the material is delivered on
the ground the work of placing 1t into
the building will be done chiefly by
convict labor under the direction Of a
superintendent. X. w. Grant of Beat
rice, the architect whose plans have
been adopted, has been authorized by
the board to select a superintendent.
The stone, metal and fire PROBING IL
to be placed In position by contractors
who agree to use convict labor. Two
contractors are to pay not less than
30 cents a day, and one Is to pay not
less that l2k cents per hour for the
labor Of convicts.
The contract for stone was let to the
johnson Stone company at SlI $50, the
base work at 10 cents a foot, convict
labor to be paid for at a rate not less
than so cents a day. In the light OF
past experiences with stone for cell
houses, the board will cudeavor &c
avoid n controversy over two-man ru-
BILE, one-man ruble, stone plugged t.
size or stone plugged any other way.
Paxton and Vierling are to furnish
the metal for 9,35O and to pay 121,
cents an hour for convict labor.
The fire proofng Is to be furnished
by the Pioneer Fire Proofing compan,
for 50, $50 and go cents a day is to b.
paid for convict labor.
Theodore Kaar Of Lincoln is to furn
ish sand delivered at the penitentiar,
for 81 cents a yard.
The cost Of the stone, iron and fir
proofing according to the bids Is 81.
TAO, not counting the cost Of the san,
and the base work at 10 cents a foo,
BY utilizing convict labor the boar,
hopes to serve a double purpose, tina
of saving money for the state and fu,
nishing employment for idle convicts

BOY W AT FREMONT
Gets Into Water Beyond His Depth and
10 Swept Away.

Carl TONES, a boy about IA years old,
was recently drowned in the Platte
river, just east Of the bridge which
crosses it south Of Fremont. In COM
pany with his brother Paul and an
other boy named Bert Kittle, he had
gone to the river to swim. The lads
took anotion to see how far out into
the river they could jump, and young
Tonnes leaped ten feet. His momentum
carried him out into the strong current
and his companions made futile efforts
to rescue him.

CUBANS WElL SATISFIED.
Secretary Root Receives Report From

General WOOD.
Secretary Root received report from
Governor General Wood concerning af-
fairs in Cuba, in which the governor
general says the action Of the constitu-
fional convention in accepting the
Plat amendment, as passed by con-
gress, is received with general salts
faction throughout the island. The
great difficulty which is now contend
ed with in Cuba is that relating to COM
mercial affairs and the necessity Of bet
ter markets for Cuban products without
tariff restrictions in the United States.
nothing a be done, however, until a
Cuban government is formed, when a
reciprocity arrangement may be made.
and this will require ratification Of the
senate.
An order by General Wood relating
to debts and mortgagesit is understood
will tide over the difficulties which
were feared a short time ago.

~ Killed.
Adelbert G.. Hay, son of Secretary
Hay and former consul to Pretoria,
was found dead on the sidewalk in
front Of the New Haven house at New
Haven. Conn, Saturday morning.
Mr.. Hay retired to his room at l
o'clock, after spending the evening
with friends In apparently excellent
spirits. At $3.50 a passer-by noticed
the body Of a PROSTATE man lying on
the sidewalk on the Chicago street
side of the hotel.
The night clerk Of the hotel was Inn
mediately summoned and recognized
the man as the one who registered as
A.. $. Hay. There was considerable ex-
element about the hotel and a large
body of students and graduates who
were there. for the commencement ex-
e~rcises soon gathered. A number OF
Hays former classmates at Yale posi-
lively identified the young man.
1t is believed that Hay becamse i'll
went to the window for air, was
come by a tit of dizziness and fell to
the ground below.

Railroad company struck for shorter
hours and increased pay. They left In
body.
Immediately thereafter the boiler
makers in the company's locomotive

The Mark Lane, London, Express, in
It's crop report, noting the necessity
for rain in the United Kingdom, says:
The wheat has come into ear on re :
markably short stems and the ears will
not fill without more moisture.
In France the spring crop is less
promising.
Wheat cutting has begun in south.
ern Spain. The provinces Of Anda-
lusia and Murcia expect fine yields and
the promise in central and northern
Spain is excellent.
The wheat crop in central Europe is
very promising on the confines of the
Adriatic and very bad indeed on the
confines Of the Baltic, indicating that
Croatia and Hungary will have a good
crop while Prussia and Prussia Poland
will have a serious deficiency.
Mediocre results may be expected in
Bavaria and Austria.

stream--Other Impor-
tant News.

A dispatch from Bluefield, w. Va,
says: This entire section has just been
visited by a flood, the extent of which.
In all probability, will equal or exceed
that of Johnstown in 1889, so far as the
loss of property is concerned.
Early Saturday morning, shortly af-
ter midnight, u heavy downpour of
rain began, accompanied by a severe
electric storm. which violently in
creased in volume and continued
throughout the entire day and night.
At 10 a. M, while the storm had abat-
ed, the lowering clouds would indicate
another terrific downpour at any mo-
ment. Many miles of the Norfolk &
Western track, bridges and telegraph
lines are entirely destroyed and COM
munication is entirely cut off west of
Elkhorn, SO that it is impossible to
learn the full extent of the loss of life
and property, but officials Of the coal
fields, located in the stricken district,
have sent out messengers to Elkhorn.
She end Of both Geographic and rail-
road communication, and messages
have been received that an estimate as
to loss of life will reach 200. Some Of
the drowned are among the most prom
nent men Of the coal fields.
The Pocahontas coal field is located
IN q basin, with high mountain ranges
on each side, Elkhorn creek, flowing
through the center of the basin which
ranges from one-fourth to one mile in
width. From Ennis, w. Va, to WV
ian yard. w. Va, a distance Of ten
miles, miners cabins, coal company
commissary and coke plants line this
basin. Elkhorn creek, bsing fed by nu-
merous small streams coming from the
mountain sides, rose very rapidly, and
this water spout came SO sudden that
the entire basin between the two
mountain ranges was flooded, and be-
fore the terror-stricken people realized
what was upon them, they were car
ried down by the food, which swept
everything in it's path.
The little town of Keystone, with a
population of 2,2OO, seems~the greatest
sufferer, practically the entire town
being washed away. This town is the
principal one in the Poncahontas coal
fields, and is located near it's center.
1t was to a great extent headquarters
from which the mining population
purchased supplies.
A great number of the coal and coke
plants throughout the Pocahontas are
deserted and are in some instances en-
tirely washed away. Owing to the
very high water which has flooded the
region and prevented communication,
anything like a correct estimate OF
the loss of property is impossible, but
from the best information obtainable
the loss of property will easily reach
81, 900, 900.

MURDER At NORTH BEND.
Tramp Fatally stabs One Comrsde and

Tramp Fatally stabs One Comrsde ana
Seriously wounds Another.
Joseph Dusseldorf, a tramp, is in Jail
at Fremont, Neb., and will have to an
swer to the charge of murder. At
North Bend he stabbed a fellow tramp,
named Durkin, in the neck, and thrice
stabbed another whose name was not
learned-once In the left breast, once
on the temple. and once on h
the left arm. Durkin and the unknown
sault was made.
After making the assault Dusseldorf
tried to escape, but was captured by a
couple of local citizens who were at
tracted to the place by Durkin's cries
for help. Sheriff Kreader was sent for
and caIne up from Fremont. He re-
turned, taking with him the two men
who were able to be removed. The
third n was left at North Ben and
died from his wounds. No cause Is
known for the affair, outside Of rumors
which are heard to the effect that the
three men had had u quarrel earlier in
the day and that Dusseldorf did the
cutting out of revenge for bad treat
ment received from the other two men.
As none OF the tramps profess to know
each other, however, there may be
nothing in this story. Dusseldorf ad-
mits having peer drunk and the most
plausible superstition is that his intox-
icated condition put his mind into such
a frenzy that he did not know what he
was doing.
