SMALLPOX MlCROBE.
Discovered by DR.. Councilman
Of Harvard.

Boston, April 29-The announcement
of the discovery of the cause of small
pox was made today by DIT. Councilman
of the Harvard Medical school, at a
meeting of the Boston society of medi-
cal science. The announcement is the
outcome of the Investigations conducted
by Dr. Councilman, DR.. George Burgess
Mograth and DR.. Walter Remsen
Brinckerhoff with the cooperation of
the Boston board of health during the
recent epidemic of the disease in this
city. It has been determined that small
pox IS caused by a micro rganism
representative of the lowest form of an
imal life. This fact serves to show a
relation between smallpox and such
diseases as malaria. and to distinguish
it from many other infectious disease
caused by bacteria.

Short Time Limit on Agricultural
College Appropriations.


r J. Brock. one of the regents of the
State Agricultural college, is down from
Manhattan today looking up the status
Of some of the appropriations for the
Fort Hays experiment station, which is
under the control of the State Agricul-
tural college. A number of the appro-
priations are for the current fiscal year.
and viii expire June 30, only two
months hence, and to be available they
must be used within that time. One
appropria ton of $1,000 is for dwellings.
and another of $500 is for water
plant and skimming station.
Mr.. Brock consulted the attorney gen.
erals department today as to whether
the appropriation. being for a specific
purpose. would expire with the close of
the fiscal year in which it was made
available. 1t IS held that it must be
used before June so or it win revert to
the state treasury. and that gives only
two months in which to do this work.
There is also an appropriation of $500
for teams and equipment for this fiscal
year, and $1,000 to be used in co-opera-
ton with the United States bureau of
irrigation. but the teams and equipment
can be purchased and whatever Is neces-
sary of the other appropriation can be
used within the time required.

From Morrison's Mother.

We are in receipt of the follow ing pathetic letter from the mother of Gay Morrison:
 EDITOR PRo~PH'ToR.
 A few weeks ago the Odd Fel- lows elu3s of y"ur city snt us copies of the ALASKA PRo<IECpR contain ing an account of the murder and funeral of our belu~ed son Guy. The thanks of his heart-broken old father grief-stricken mother, broth- CTS and sisters are extended to the kind and noble-hearted people of Valdez who SO tentlcrly cared for him in that last sad hour. A mothers heart is torn and bleeding for her first-born; taken without a word of farewell to his loved ones so many miles away not even tlse sad consolation is hers to look on his dead face or even to look upon his grave in that far off northern land, but Etry to think as Loag as motherly hearts and brotherly hands exist in Valdez, my darling's grave will be taken care of even as they took care of him, a stranger in a strange land"
 It is a great consolation to know that nag child had such kind friends, and may God shower his blessings on each and all, and to my brother Oddfellsws may the golden thrall of the triple links bind us still closer in the Great Brotherhood until we meet above.
 With the wish that grief like mine will never be the lot of any one. ] am, Guys heart-broken mother,

 'The prospector toiling over the mountains in search for hidden treasure cannot but feel the near presence of God, when he leholtls their nmmensity, their rugged grandeur, undisturbed by the storm and sunbeam of ages; these most sublime features of the handiwork of his Maker; this wonderful region where all the seasons are at the same time represented. The flow CTS bloom in the valleys and foot hills; further up the mountains the sturdy evergrecns. spruce, hemlock and cedar mingle their dark foliage with the tender green of the tama- rack; higher still, in the very heart of the forest Is a lake with its linn pid waters sparkling like diamonds wherever q lucent sunbeam finds its way. Here, cradled in the mighty arms of the mountains, it's waters are lulled to sleep bv the soughing of the winds through the great overhanging pines, murmur- ing lullaby; higher yet, above this picture, more beautiful than ancient masters ever portrayed up on cathedral walls, are the bleak crags where the eagle rests her young; while higher still, enfolded in a shroud of perpetual winter, is the peak silhouetted against the clouds like a monument above the grave of some illustrious dead"
