Purse in a Well.

During the storm Saturday aftern oon
Mrs. w. T. McLain and her pocket
book parted company. The purse few
into Eugene Youmans' we'll and Mrs.
McLain was running race with tho
wind. It all happened this way:
Mrs. McLaln and lady friend
(whose name we don't care to mention
for domestic reasons) were up town
shopping when they noticed sand in
the air In the northwest and they msde
a B liner for home. They happened to
remember that the children were play
ing with Eugenia Youmans and they
made for the Youmans residence, and
about the time they arrived at the well
curb the wind put on a little extra
steam and Mrs. McLaln, with her
hands full OF mail, dry goods, pocket.

for the safety of herself aud children.
lost control OF her belongings and the
pOcketbook went helter skelter into
the we'll. During this performance the
other woman was dancing like q squaw
on the porch trying (ostrich- like) to get
her head into knot-hole to escape the
dreaded imaginary cyclone.
When the storm subsided Mrs. McLain
found to her sorrow that her purse con
tainlng 81 and some valuable papers
were baptized in IA teet of water. A
messenger was sent to Charley Talia-
ferro who put in the rest Of the evening
and half the next day fixing up con-
traptions and fishing for the valuables
but with no good results. Finally
Charley and Joe Owens decided to draw
the water out and 90 down after the
money. II took several hours of hard
work but they succeeded.
The only real mad man over the re-.
suit was Gene Youmans. He thought
the pOcKetbook was all right where it
was until he got time to look after it.

tious or contagious diseases is very
plain and it Is imperative that az
soon Is any attending physician or
householder is aware that smallpox
exists in the family he should at once
placard the house, notifying the board
of health or health officer, and take all
other needful precautions to prevent
the spread Of the disease. wish at this
time to Call especial attention to this
matter and to urge all to stamp out q
disease which, If allowed to spread may
become serious menace to the entire
community. The failure to give it
proper attention is punishable crimi-
nally, but, barring that, we should use
our efforts for our own safety at all
events. DIR. W. III. MOORE,
