IMPROVING THE PARKS.
Actual Work Has Been Begun in That

From Mondays Daily Gazette.
AS an evidence of it's good inten-
tions in the matter, the committee Of
the city council to which has been
delegated the authority for improving
the city parks this morning put a cou-
pie of men at work in the small park
east of the Northern Pacific passenger
station. The remnants of the fence
were removed and the alfalfa was
moved. The ground is to be plowed
and the surface of the park will be
brought to grade, after which it will
be seeded to blue joint.
/! superintendent Horn has written to
Mayor George that the railroad COM
pany will enclose the park with an
iron tubular fence, two tubes to each
panel, after which. lease will be ex-
ecuted and the ground turned over
to the city, with the proviso that the
city shall keep it in order hereafter.
George and several of the alder
men are of the opinion that a fence is
not needed and an attempt will be
probably made to induce the company
to estimate the cost of the proposed
and donate it's equivalent
in cash to the city to be applied to-
ward constructing a coping around
the plaza.

WOOD TICKS CONVEY GERM
SPECIALISTS REPORT ON SPOT.
TED FEVER INVESTIGATION.
Is a Disease Of the Blood Due to a
Parasite Communicated by
an Insect Bite.

Missoula, June S.-Dr. Lewis B. Will
son and DR.. VIM. M. Chowning, of the
University of Minnesota, the special.
lists engaged in investigating spotted
fever, give u. the following state
ments Of the results of their work to
date.
1--WE find the disease to be a dis
ease of the blood.
ut is due to a parasite which in
tests the red blood cells.
"This parasite which we have found
present in speciments from all the
cases examined, resembles the para
site which causes malaria.
1.-THE parasite apparently does not
gain access to the body by way Of the
los or mounth; that is, it is not car
ried by the air, drinking water or food,
but is infested into the blood by some
biting animal or insect.
while we do not know Of a GER
tainty what animal injects the para
site into the blood Of the patient all
the facts point to some kind Of a tick
as carrying the disease to man by its
bite. This is rendered likely by the
following facts:
'The disease appears in the sprips
shortly after ticks appear and~0efore
mosquitoes or other insectse have left
their winter quarters. It disappears
about July when ticks disappear
though mosquitoes remain for a long
err time.
"Many patients are definitely known

John Vogel was fined SO in police
court this morning fer having disturb

Vogel was drunk yesterday and went
to the hospital, where his brother is

BURIED TREASURE.

If all the legends of buried treasures
were true. there would be a continu-
Gus treasure trove of hidden pots of
gold from Maine to Mexico. Along
the coast almost every community has
its story of treasures buried by Capt.
Kidd or some other pirate, or of wealth
secreted during the Revolution or the
Civil War to prevent it from falling
into the hands of the enemy; and each
generation of healthy and imaginative
American boys for many years back
has sent out it's thousands of energetic
diggers to waste energy in futile eff
forts to unearth those pots of gold and
chests of gems and jewels. If all this
energy had been concentrated on the
Nicaragua canal. ii would have been
pretty nearly dug by this time. In
view of the number of treasure hunt
ers who still read the newspapers, 1t
will be of interest to note the fact that
one of the class has just been reward
ed by striking the pot and bringing
up the hidden gold. This lucky digger
was Mrs. August Kersten of Houston,
Tex. In dream one night years ago
her grandfather, long since dead, ap-
peared to her and told her to dig in a
certain place. She failed to obey the
first summons, and the apparition
came to her a second time recently in
her dreams and repeated the injunc-
ton. Persuading her husband to ac-
company and assist her, the woman be-
gan digging at the spot indicated.
After a good deal of earth had been
turned the spade struck something. IN
the good old story-book sort of way,
and pretty soon the pot of gold was
uncovered. 1t contained. according to
the story of a newspaper correspond
ent, $4,000 in gold pieces. Mrs. Kers-
ten will have the congratulations of
thousands of Americans who have dug
no less theoretically and hopefully
than she, if not so successfully.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia North American
(Rep.) says: Senator Chauncey Depew
gravely points out that there is no law
enabling the President to hold confer
ences with industrial belligerents, and
declares that his effort to settle the
coal strike is the greatest exercise of
imperialism ever seen in this country.
The chief disadvantage of having a
reputation as a jester is that it some
times constrains one to talk like a fool
when he doesn't really mean to be
funny
The Raleigh News and Observer thus
explains some of the intricacies of the
North Carolina election law: mo
white man will lose his vote because he
was born out of wedlock. 1t is no
mans fault and the amendment does
not punish him for it. He can regis
ter just as If born in lawful wedlock.
The registrars are all so instructed.
The man who registers under the
grandfather clause will have his name
on permanent roll and never be SUBJ
jected to the trouble of registering
again. In answer to question we will
state that no mulatto can register I'M
der the grandfather clause by claiming
to be the son of a white man who could
vote in 1867. No mulatto can vote I'M
der the grandfather clause, unless the
son of a white woman, and then he
votes through his mothers father"
The New York Evening Post Qnd }
says: ''Why are Crumpacker, Grosve-
nor, Chandler, ct al. silent over the po-
litical ostracism of colored citizens by
Republican organizations in the South
ern states? When the Democrats in
that section were framing election
turnstiles that would bar illiterate ne
groes, while admitting ignorant whites,
no political penalty was deemed too Sc
we're by the Northern champions of ne
gro rights; but when white Republic
cans in Alabama and North Carolina
are denying representation in party
conventions to the saving remnant of
the colored vote-the educated and
property-owning negro electorate
which not even Democratic malice and
ingenuity could dsfranchise-not a
of the North. Their silence needs eX-
PLANTATION. They have not the selfish
motive of their brethren of the South,
who are substituting a white Republi-
can organization for the lost negro
vote as basis for Federal patronage;
and the only logical conclusion is that
they have jettisoned the negro vote in
their pursuit of the ignis fatuus of a
white mans party in the South. To
find a Republican virtue in a Demo-
cratic sin is evidently no wrench to a
certain kind Of political conscience"

Not u Good Advocate

81 don't think my wife would make
good advocate of womans suffrage"
said married man, according to the
Philadelphia Record. 81 went around
the corner one night last week to get
a poll tax receipt, and when l returned
she asked to see it. The fifty-cent
mark caught her eye, and, being of
rather frugal nature, she demanded
to know all about it. 1 explained that
under the existing laws a man who
owns no real estate is obliged to pay
a tax of 80 cents if he wants to vote.
So 1t costs you a half-dollar to vote,
does it" she said I replied in the
affirmative. And the poor men, the
day laborers and people like that-do
they pay 80 cents to vote?' Again l
replied aff1rmatively. Well all l have
to say is that they are a lot of big
FOOLS she replied. I'd like to see
myself pay for the privilege of voting,
just to place lot of loafers of poll
ticians in office. l just wouldn't do it
suppose there were bargain sales in
poll tax receipts 1 suggested. Sup
pose you could vote, and you saw a
sign announcing poll tax receipts re-
duced from so cents to 1872 Then she
got mad, and I thought it time to
quit"

PERSONAL.

Sir Michael Hicks Beach, at pres
ent British cabinet minister, owes a
good deal to his taciturnity. Many
years ago he and Benjamin Disraeli
were guests at a dinner, and the great
tory was much struck by the fact
that the other man sat all through the
dinner without saying more than yes
or no. Learning who the quiet young
man was, he sent for him next day
and offered him an underseeretaryship
saying by way of explanation that a
politician who had such a wise tongue
was deserving of advancement.
There are two John Smiths in the
little town of Prella, Kan, one very
stout and the other very thin, and
they were good friends until one day
