STORRS IS EXCITED.
Afraid State Board of Health
May Find Out.

There are signs of unusual agitation
about the office of City Physician
Storrs- For the first time within the
memory of some of the oldest inhabit-
ants, Storrs paid a flying visit to his
official office Saturday. He rushed past
a State Journal reporter, and almost
broke the reporters heart by refusing
to. speak to him. He nudged Sanitary
Sergeant Vanderpool. and hustled him
into the private office, slamming the
door behind him. For a long time the
rise and fall of rasping voice in ex-
cited and declamatory accents came
through the door, and then Vanderpool
came back. Storrs slipped away
through the side entrance to avoid the
hated reporter.
What were you talking about %
asked the reporter of Vanderpool-
Vanderpool, for answer, shut his lips
together. locked them up, and made
deprecatory gestures with his hands.
Storrs is Sid to be greatly agitated
about the exposure of his failure to
make the reports required by law. He
is trying to explain it, and something
official is likely to come out of his
present state of mind. Storrs' chief
contention is that typhoid fever is not
a contagious disease, and that he does
not have to pay any attention to it or
make any reports about it to anybody.
This is his probable excuse for ignor-
ance of prevailing conditions.
Typhoid, however, is classed as
contagious disease. 1t is included in
the list of diseases covered by Topeka
ordinance 2190. the contagious disease
ordinance. The American Encyclo-
pedia says:
Typhoid fever is undoubtedly COM
municabIe 1t is a disease
which although produced in a certain
proportion of cases irrespective of either
virus or an infectious miasm, may yet
generate from either one or both of
these forms of contagious material"
MAD AT DIR. LOWRY.
Dr. Charles E. Lowry, of the state
board of health. who says he is unable
to find out anything about the prevail
ence of typhoid from DR.. Storrs, and
will therefore try to make an indie
pendent investigation, is now the OBJ
ject of particular disfavor at the office
will perhaps make an effort to render
DR.. Lowry's efforts in vain by calling
on the physicians of Topeka to pay no
attention to DIR. Lowry's request for
information. and render his statistics
as Incomplete as possible
DR.. Lowry has made himself the OBJ
ject of Storrs' dislike by condemning
the "secret session" system. DR.. Lowry
believes thar the truth is not likely to
hurt anybody. and thinks that Storrs
is making mistake.
The people connected with the health
department. who are paid $50 a month
to obey Storrs' orders. make a great
pretense of ridiculing DR.. Lowry's plan.
They say that he can not find out any
thing of Importance. They intimate
that Storrs has ''sewed up" the mouth
of every doctor in town.
Lowry can't Gnd more than ten cases

= Sorrow and Shadow.

The death of Mrs. Edith Sher.
man Thompson, which occurred al
jackson a week ago today, threw
the pail of sorrow over many
hearts and homes in this city,
where the bright and beautiful
young woman had been known
from early infancy. She was one
of the most popular and attractive
young ladies this town has ever
known. There seemed to be every
human reason why she should have
lived on: She blest and brighten
ed lives that without her are in
darkness and gloom; her talents
and culture and natural graces
seemed calculated to adorn years
yet unborn; her ambition and de-
votion were inspiration and
stl ength to her young husband;
she was the beloved eldest daugh-
ter of fond mother-and yet with
all this there was added another
tie in the infant son, that called
for long life and health, and COM
panionship with her, upon whom
death fell like an untimely FROST"
The inanimate form that had
palsed with life and all that
makes life sweet, was borne to this
place last Thursday and inferred
in Rosehill cemetery, after the
funeral ceremonies at the home of
her mother, Mrs. III. Sherman, in
the presence of unnumbered
friends from this and other places.
The services were conducted by
Rev. b. +. Jones, who, a little
more than a score of months ago,
had taken her VOWS at the mar
riage altar.
On this..sorrowful day, the myrtle
and the cypress supplanted the
orange blossom, and the bride of
Death she lay, in robes that had
become her shroud. Broken
hearts turned helplessly away,
while the mortal dust was COM
mitted to kindred dust; but the ex-
quisite flowers that covered the
mound, the budding foliage of the
spring-time and the deathless love
of bleeding hearts told of the res
direction morn-of the immortal
ity of the soul. "Say not good
night; but in some brighter cline
bid me good morning."

The College Recital.

An entertainment that merited a
full house was given at Whitworth
College on last Friday evening.
Owing to the contest at the public
school and the wet weather, there
was only a small audience present.
Miss Ford, the able teacher of
elocution, was the graceful and
gracious herald of the occasion and
the last of the excellent numbers
given, came all too soon for the
interested listeners. Miss Vivi-
on's stringed instrument pupils,
who on this occasion formed a
band of eight, never played as
well, and by their readiness and
aptness "illed out" all possible
periods of silence and waiting, and
blended the numbers into sym
phony of beauty and pleasing
sounds. There was not a halt or
discord to mar either reading or
music and the pupils reflected
great credit upon their splendid
instructors, Miss Ford, Mrs. Will
loughby and Miss Vivion. Miss
Virginia Marshall gave delight
full vocal solo, the musical signifi-
canoe of which was enhanced by
her charm of manner and personal
magnetism.
We regret that the audience was
not larger and that there were not
more witnesses" to add to our
testimony pertaining to the ex-
cellence of the pleasant evening.

just wait till the weather clears

will hear some sure enough

doctor predicts that in two hun

people. JEEMS.
