; NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
Vaccination a Humbug.

There seems to be an impression with
a great many people that there is but one
side to this question. If they would take
time to consult the Britannica Encyclo-
pedia, late edition, coming down to ian.
1900, they will find some authority to
prove that the anti-vaccinationists have
considerable proof that vaccination is not
a protection against smallpox, or that it
does not tighten the disease.
| noticed an article in the Pink Paper
of Feb. 26, and the Herald of about
March last, which said: ''In this pow
erful sanitary agent we have the means of
controlling, and, not only controlling,
but effectually stamping out that scourge
Of mankind, smallpox If the writer
will refresh his memory a little, he will
recall that the smallpox was carried to
Europe from ASIA more than one thou
sand years ago. The people were accus-
seen, and overcome them by courage and
physical force; but an unseen foe, whose
onward march legions could not stop,
struck terror to the hearts of nations.
After time some one conceived the idea

had taken the smallpox with the pus ex-

the disease, and the violence of the in
oculated disease would be greatly modi-
fed And it was also claimed that it was
perfectly harmless. The same thing is
claimed for vaccination today with the
protection part added. This inocula-
ton, or engrafting, as it was called at
first, was practiced for about one hum
dred and fifty years. In the year 1721,
Lady Mary WORTHY Montague, wife of the
English ambassador to the Ottoman
court, believing the promises of the advo-
Gates of the engraftlng theories, had her
children inoculated, and when she re-
turned to England she became actively
engaged in the introduction of the Gus
tom there. For over one hundred years
the people followed the advice of those
who were infatuated with the idea oi
stamping out small pox by inoculation.
Soon the evil of the practice became ap.
parent to the government and investigat-
ions were made which showed that some
districts were nearly depopulated BY the
dreadful disease. England in 1910 passed
d law making it a penal offence for inoc-
culalion. II died hard death, but be-

DR.. Jenner called public attention to his
theories regarding vaccination. He
called them facts and asserted that the

Owing to train being late the forenoon
session of the convention was omitted

w. A. Murphy, chairman of county
committee, called the convention to or
der.
Hon. J. D. Wallace was chosen tenn
porary chairman and D. J. Laxdal, secre-
tary, and later the temporary organiza-
ton was by vote made permanent.
On motion, no contests appearing, the
delegates present were accepted without
the formality Of credentials.
On motion, chair appointed H. G..
Wick, H. H. Lampman and F. A. Ward

On motion chair appointed ]. LaMoure,
A. H. Johnson. c. R. Wing, J. F. Mager,
J. P. Skiold, R. A. Thacker and ]. P.
Hicks as committee to select names oil
35 delegates to Fargo, and present same
to convention.
After a short recess, the committee on
resolutions presented the following reso.
luton, which was received with applause
and adopted by rising vote.
Where as, there has been a genra
expression by the press and people o
this State, in appreciation Of the publi
services Of our honored fellow citizen
Hon. Judson LaMoure, and that sucl
services and ability fitted him for tn,
higher honor as representative to Con
gress or other State Office.
And Whereas, the republican party Q
this county has for many years recognize,
in Mr.. LaMoure, an able leader 'and al
unselfish worker for the party, count,
and state.
Whereas, in the interest of harmon,
and the general good of the republican
party of the state, and in recognition O
the able and successful services Hon. T
F. Marshall during the present congress
and OF Hon. B. F. Spalding in the previou:
congress-, Mr.. LaMoure has declined te
allow his name to be used in opposition
to either of these gentlemen as
candidate before the state convention.
THEREFORE, REsoLvED:-That while
this convention would have been pleasee
to have instructed its delegates to the
state convention to present the name O
Hon. Judson LaMoure as candidate fol
congressional representative, yet we see
in his declinatlon an act of self abne
CATION characteristic of one who has al.
ways made the preferment of friend, OF
harmony within the party superior to his
personal advantage; and while we regre,
that thus as yet the higher position does
not at this time seem to be available, we
congratulate the people of the county on
the fact that Mr.. LaMoure will thereby be
able to retain his seat in the state senate
where his services to the state and county
are equally valuably to his constituents,
though in more local and limited
sphere.

Lunched With the President.
FIELD GUNS FOR THE ARMY.
Orders for $50 of the New Type Will
Be Placed

The Secretary of War has approved a
plan for the manufacture of one hundred
and eighty of the latest type of 3-inch
rapd-fire field guns developed by the ord
nance department and approved by the
board of ordnance and fortifcations, of
which General Miles is president.
General CroZer. chief of ordnance, will
place orders for the manufacture of the
new guns at once in order to be prepared
to replace the present obsolete field guns as
soon as possible.
1t will require $50 of the new guns to sup
ply the regular field artillery as now or
ganiZed and sufficient appropriations are
available to manufacture that number 1t
Is proposed, however, to make an additional
number if possible to supply emergencies.
About fifty of the guns will be made 1t
the government arsenal at Watervliet, N
V. but ii is the intention of the depart
ment to invite bids for the construction OF
the remainder at private works. If the bids
are reasonab BILE the guns will be made at the
outside manufactures as well as at the
government plants.
Drawings for the new gun have been COM
pleted and forwarded to Watervliet The
design is almost wholly that known as the
ordnance gun, q portion of the breech
mechanism being taken from the Ehrhardt
German gun. The carriage is according to
the design of the ordnance bureau. 1t is
the intention of the department TO rush
work on the new gun in order that the field
artillery may soon become familiar with it.

HEAD HAS BLOOD POISONING.
Man Shot by DR.. Duncan at Pittsburg
TUESDAY,

PITTSBURG, Pa, October ot.-The con-
dition of Bruce Head bookkeeper for Ken
efeck & Co., at the Wabash Green Tree
tunnel, who was shot by DR.. Ellis Duncan
Tuesday night, took a serious turn last
night, and it is now more than likely that
he will succumb to the effects of his inju-
ries
Since the shooting the greatest efforts of
the attending physicians have been directed
toward the prevention of blood poison. On
Wednesday and Thursday there was en-
tire absence of such indications, and the
physicians were more than hopeful that
their patient might recover. This morning
however, all is changed, and those most
closely interested cannot conceal their anx-
iety.
All admit that this condition shows a de-
cided relapse from the hopeful outlook of
yesterday, that his temperature Is abnor-
mally high, that blood poisoning has set in
and that the dreaded inflammation has
made its appearance and is spreading with
its usually rapid and fatal rate.

MURDERER OF sTAMBULoFF.
Michael Stavreff Sentenced to Be
Hanged at Sofia.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, October A.-Michael
Stavreff alias Halju, was today found
guilty of the murder Of ex-Premier Stam-
buloff in 1895 and sentenced to be hanged.
The accused pleaded not guilty. Compan-
ions of M. Stambuloff testified that Stav-
ref fired the first shot.
Stephan N Stambuloff, who has been
called the Bismarck of Bulgaria, was as
sassinated at Sofia on the evening of July
10, 1895, three months after his dismissal
from the premiership. The crime was COM
mitted while NJ. Stambuloff and a friend
were returning from club in carriage.
They were stopped by three or four men,,
armed with knives and pistols, and the ex-
premier, leaping to the ground to defend
himself, was overcome, receiving over twen-
ty wounds in the head, in addition to other
injuries. The number and severity of his
wounds, together with the amputation of
both his hands, resulted in his death three
days later.

not come up to the physical standard In ev-
