sidewalk and place himself outside
Of a water melon the pleasures Of
feasting and the joys OF gormadizing
are but ~unmeaning tearms. Even a
fat, steaming dog, cooked according
to the most approved methods OF the
aborigine cuisine is as a dish of cpl
cac seasoned with assafoedita to the
mind Of the Grow who is ripping a
water melon to pieces and transfer
ring the chunks to the cash in his
face. The darkey may like water
melons, but the Grow likes them
more and will trade almost every
thingy he has for one. And he is not
overly particular as to it's ripeness,
either.
Somehow, the ''show" printer seems
to be unable to keep peace with the
circus man. The latter is constantly
surprising and dazzling the world
with his annual Browning events"
and array Of paralyzing and astound-
ing wonders, but the man who fur
nishes the gayly colored literature ad-
vertising the fact appears to have
reached the limit, OF his imagination
and the extent Of his creative ability.
Notwithstanding the great progress
made by his patron he is, still turn
ing out the same pictures he did years
ago, when the circus was yet in it's
infancy. The same lady with woeful
smile stands on the green horse
bounding over an impossible fence,
representing a hurdle, and the same
clown stands by her side with the
ringmaster holding a whip about mid
way up the stock. Then the animals
are the same and the man on the trap
eze looks as familiar as he did in the
boyhood days of the men who are
now old and gray-headed and only
60 to circuses because "the children
wanted to- see the animals" Either
the circus will have to cease expand
ing or the printer will have to wake
up. The shadow is no longer repre-
sentative of the substance. Probably
the poor fellow is trying to atone for
his past mendacity and guilty con-
nivance with the man whom he has
served>so long.

to the spring months. Persons Of all
ages and of each sex are alike i
ceptible. The earliest recorded Ease
began March II, the latest July 20.
Ticks also appear in the same re-
gion at the beginning Of spring, be-
come most numerous about the mid
die of June, and disappear about the
middle of July.
THE occurrence OF spotted fever
in isolated cases in a district sharply
limited on n side by a river would
indicate the conveyance Of the germ
to mar by a temporarily parasitic an
imal that travels slowly and that is
not carried far by the wind"
Moreover, the blood Of all the pa
tients who died contained a parasite
as yet unidentified. This parasite
resembles most the bacillus OF Texas
fever, which is conveyed to cattle
through the bite of ticks.
Finally, all of the patients examined
had been bitten by ticks, as already
mentioned.
D.. .r-- NE ..ELea
The symptoms Of spotted fever re-
semble in some particulars those OF.
typhoid. The distinguishing mark Of
the Montana scourge is the purple
spots which appear within two to five
days after a premonitory chill. These
spots, of a dark blue or purplish color,
increase in size and run together un
til patients are covered with alternate
lines of purple and white, SO that the
corpse Of a spotted fever victim ap-
pears to have been turned to notified
marble. Death usually ecu be-
tween the sixth and fourteenth day.
An autopsy reveals evidence Of
acute infection. The only popularity,
besides the marbling of the skin, is
the presence in the blood of a strange
parasite, q hematozoon resembling
the micro-organism of Texas fever.
Quinine and calomel is the usual
treatment. 1t does little to delay the
fatal end.
Next season Drs. Wilson and
Chowning will resume their tnvesti-
cation with the particular object Of
discovering an adequate remedy.

MINNEAPOLIS DOCTORS DIscov.
Err SPOTTED FEvER's ORIGIN.
DUE TO TICK BITES
Every infected Person They Examin-
ed Had Been Bitten by
Poisonous Insect.

IL LnelT are correct,
Drs. Wilson and Chowning of Min
neapolis have discovered the cause
Of the annual outbreak of the dread
spotted fever, which makes its appear
ance in the western valleys Of the
state every summer. At the request
of the state board of health those
two distinguished medicos visited the
infected localities and conducted am
investigation. AS will be seer from
the following, taken from the Min
neapolis Journal, they have arrived
at a decision and have made it pub
lie:
That the spotted fever of the Rocky
mountains, one of the most deadly
diseases known, is due to the bite of
a tick which has previously bitten
some small animal is the conclusion
just announced by two Minneapolis
physicians who returned from Mon
tana last week. They were investi-
eating the cause of this little known
disease at the request of the Mon
tana state board of health.
The Investigators were DR.. Louis
B. Wilson assistant bacteriologist, of
the Minnesota board of health and
demonstrator in pathology at the
state university, and DIR. William M.
Chowning, also a demonstration in the
same department at the university.
Observations were made in the Bit
ter Root Valley "a Missoula, Mont,
Of Is cases of the mysterious dis
ease. Twelve of the 13 patients died.
On the body of each victim were
found the marks Of recent tick bites
and Drs. Wilson and Chowning were
convinced that it was through the
ticks that a virulent germ had been
conveyed from some small mammal.
What that mammal is the doctors are
not yet prepared to say. But ticks
were discovered upon the bodies of
we'll nigh every wild or domestic ami
trict.
This prevalence CT the tick is proof
of that, in itself, the creature is not
dangerous. If it's bite were fatal,
many regions about the Rocky oun
tains would be uninhabitable.
Hence the observers concluded that
the ticks are merely carriers of spot
ted fever. They must transfer a
fearsome malady from some obscure
animal and presumably an animal
that is not domesticated.
A West Slope Maiady.
Spotted fever has appeared, sc far,
almost exclusively west Of the Rocky
mountains in the states of Idaho,
Montana and Wyoming.
7s''The cases in Montana" say Drs.
Wilson and Chowning in their pre-
liminary report, ARE confined to- the
eastern foot hills Of the Bitter Root
mountains" Even here the disease
is rare. Although the mortality rises
to 80 per cent, the total number of
deaths recorded within 10 years has
been only $50.
1.-THE first case observed in the Bit
ter Root valley occurred in 1873, when
few white men were living there. Ap-
parently the fever was unknown to
the Indians.

The deputy sheriffs returned to
W~ilkesbarre early this evening, re-
porting all quiet at the washery when
they left. They had hardly reached
sWilkesbarre, however, when the depu-
ties on guard were attacked. Several
men in the mol also attempted to
climb over the barricade. The depu-
ties warned them to go back, and
when they did not a volley was fired,
but most of the bullets went high into
the air.

PADEREWsKI,s OPERA.
What Dr.. Robert Hirschfield, of
Vienna, Saws of It.

DR.. Robert Hirschtield in the "Alte
Freie Presse'' of Vienna, is very EN-
phatic in his opinions of Paderewski's
success as a composer Of operas. IA
brilliant coterie. including Joachim
himself attended the scene of the oc-
currence," he says. HE executed q
few gorgeous evolutions but did not
move from the place he has hereto
fore occupied. He remained what he
had been. virtuoso. but in addition
4 dazzling virtuoso in the Wagnerian
style, of moods. of the orchestra. His
virtuosity showed itself at the outset
by his treatment OF the libretto-pedal.
He clings to details: the dramatic
line is broken: he is master of de-
tails in the technique of ornamental
ton; he storms up and down the whole
keyboard of human feelings always
observant of correct polyphony OF
moods and voices. He moves, shocks,
fires and inflames."
This looks on the face of it as if
we were in possession OF an original
musical work. If there is anything
that is wanted nowadays it is a work
that storms up and down the whole
keyboard OF human feelings. There
is even a suggestion of electricity in
the phrasing "he moves, shocks, fires
and intlames."
