YawI of the Old kearsarse Comes to
Clear Lake.

Clear Lake.
TGlobe Gazette.]
Captain Smith in his search Tor
novel army relics to decorate his den'
at his home unearthed the old yawl or
life boat of the historic old civil war
battleship Kearsarge. which had been
sold by the government, with lot OF
old navy junk to a relic dealer, who
has cataloged it for sale. The captain
wrote to DR.. Charlton of Clear Lake
about it, expressing his regret that
such historic old relic Should be
doomed to such a fate, and the doctor,
with his usual public spirit, AT once got
busy and is at the head of a movement
to purchase it and give it peaceful
home, BETTING it's record on the placid
waters of Clear Lake. where 1t will be
the nucleus of naval relics for the navy
annex at the National Military Univer-
sity here. The boat is twenty-nine feet
long, is said to be in serviceable condi-
ton and the junk dealer has the certi-
ficate of the naval officer who COM
manded the Kearsarge, when she was
wrecked, that it is the old yawl of that
ship, and was used to save the crew
when she went on the reef.

Charlton.
The smallpox situation in the north

very unpleasant. Saturday, Feb. %,
there was a public sale at the farm of
Clarence Hamilton. about four miles
north of Jay. There was sickness in
the house at the time, that the family
pronounced chickenpox. The following
Tuesday Harvey Porterfield also had a
sale, and Mr.. Hamilton was there,
broken out with his supposed chicken
poN. The trustees became alarmed and
called DR.. Walker, of WOODBURY., who
pronounced the disease smallpox. Now
there are a number of families quaran-
tined, and great many people exposed.
Red Oak.
A party of railroad surveyors have

of here. They are said to be party
sent out by President Hill. Of the Great
Northern railroad. to take the levels
and ascertain If the grades are easy
enough to suit his desires. 1t is said
that the maximum grade may be
changed to twenty-fiv feet to the mile.
instead of thirty-five feet, the latter be-
ing the basis on which the survey of
the new line was made. There have
been all sorts of rumors af1oat the past
week, most improbable one being that
President Fill was dissatisfied to such
an extent that the line would be
changed to run directly west from some
point east of Villisca to Emerson, thus
bringing it into Red Oak on the north.
