on an original and unique excuse. The
colonel keeps a ground hog and is
testing its reliability as a weather
prophet and coming to court in Elk

This story concerning a young
Senator hailing from the Southwest
serves to illustrate the knowingness
of the small son of the house.
The Senator's wife had as her
guest young woman known to the
boy as Miss Anna. When the time
came for the departure of her guest
the Senator's wife, being unable to ac-
company her to the station, asked her
husband and the small boy to go in
her stead. Upon their return to the
hotel the Senator remained In the
lobby talking politics, while the small
boy went at once to his mother. In
due course the Senator entered her
room to find his wife in tears. After
repeated Questionings as to what the
trouble was he was informed that his
small son had told her that his father
had kissed Miss Anna goodby.
why, my son, did you say such a
thing as that?" demanded the stern
parent.

Next to the problem of municipal

tain interests-railroad and other-so
that the lobby is really made up in
part Of members Of the legislature.
Here is a field where reform is greatly
needed. OF course, there is no patent
device by which the needed change
can be wrought. The Gully remedy
that can be applied is in the hands of
the people themselves. 1t is to be
hoped that they will use it before
long. The business Of legislating for
such a state as Indiana is a serious

On the last day of the session after
the apportionment bill seemed des-
tined to fail, it was amended and pass
ed and the legislative districts are
again apportioned for six years.
1t was by close vote that the bill
got through the house. Twelve re-
publicans cast their votes against the
bill on its final, passage, and among
them was Stookey of Kosciusko. OF
course all the democrats voted no, as
it is considered necessary for the
minority to oppose all political bills
presented by the majority whether
they are good or bad.
There is no change in this district,
Marshall county gets one representa-
tive and Marshall and Kosciusko con-
stitute senatorial district.
st. Joseph gets one state senator
and ST. Joseph and Laporte have a
JoiuO oCu0tOls 'VQooou ouO uitou
constitute a senatorial district and
Elkhart county gets a senator alone.
Mr.. Stookey kicked because Kosciusko
county was put In district with
Whitley and Huntington to elect a
joint representative, but it also has
one representative for Kosciusko
alone.
The apportionmept seems pretty
badly mixed but it is the best the
legislature knew how To make, for the
committee worked on it necessarily
from the opening of the legislature
until the last dav that bill could be
passed. Senator Wood, who was
chairman of the committee, declares
he will never take such a position
again. He was almost worried to
death and then failed to please a
majority of the members.

Those Smallpox Cases.

have been requested to inform the
public of the real status OF smallpox
in Marshall county at the present
time. / would say that every case
that came to light during the past
winter is now practically recovered.
L have visited the homes, of NJ. j.
Stanbaugh, of German township, the
Heminger families of West township
and the families of George Zechiel and
Samuel Frye. of Union township,
where cases have existed, and their
persons. rooms and effects have been
thoroughly disinfected and placed be-
yond the power of contagion.
The sequel has shown these cases to
have been veritable small pox, and
very contagious. Members of all
these families, who were obliged to
stay in the same house, and who had
never been vaccinated. Invariably were
taken with the disease, while those
who were vaccinated, had no Symp-
toms of it at all. This is practical
proof of the value of vaccination as an
immunity against smallpox, thing
which the board of health of Marshall
county so earnestly enjoins upon all
unnvacinated persons OF the county,
as the only means of thoroughly
stamping out the disease among our
people.
There have been 13 cases in the
county during the winter, existing in
five families. the original ones being
brought in the county, from exposure
without.
am glad to say, that the danger,
which Threatened the county, through
infection from these cases has passed
By the faithful observance Of all
exposed persons, to quarantine
regulations, and the ceaseless vigil
ance Of the attending physicians, what
might have been a public calamity has
been happily averted.

Ninety Nine Years Of Upper Louisiana.

Not all of the province OF Louisiana
which Bonaparte sold to Jefferson was
transferred by Laussat, the French re-
public's representative at New Or
leans, to Gen. Wilkinson and Gov. w.
G. @. Claiborne, when, in that city,
on December 20, 1903, they received
the territory on behalf of the United
States. That part Of the province
called Upper Louisiana was still to be
dealt with. Broadly stated, this COM
prised all the OLD French territory
west Of the Mississippi outside Of the
present state of Louisiana. Though
far larger in area than the part Of the
territory which Wilkinson and Clai
borne received, 1t had fewer inhabit-
ants, numbering somewhat over TO-
900, all but small portion of whom
were in the limits OF the present state
of Missouri, the remainder being in
Arkansas. A little less than 1900 OF
these 10000 people in Upper louisa
ma were negroes. all except few Of
these being slaves. On March Q, 1904,
Don Carlos Default Delassus, the
Spanish comfnandant In St. Louis,
handed over the territory to Maj.
Amos Stoddard. representing the
French republic in this ceremony, and
on the following day, March 10, Stod-
dard transferred it to the United
States.
The ninety-nine years which have
passed since the old French territory
of Upper Louisiana first greeted the
stars and stripes have seen physical
and social Transformation In this re-
gion scarcely paralleled. IN any other
large portion Of the United States.
The wilderness of those days has been
divided into eleven states and two
territories. Missouri was the first Of.
these to become organized, Arkansas
was the second. and then, in this or.
der, followed Iowa, Minnesota, Kan.
sas, Nebraska, Colorado; the two Da-
kotas, Montana and Wyoming. Two
territories, Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory, remain outside of the state
hood circle. The 10000 inhabitants
of Upper Louisiana on the dav that
Stoddard passed the territory over to
the United States ninety mine years
ago had expanded into Is, 400, 900 in
