May Infect This Country.

The general apprehension that
unknown and dreaded disease,
parasites, may be brought to the
United States by soldiers who
serve in the Philippines has sug.
gested a careful examination of
the army patients sent to st.
Elizabeth's insane asylum, near
Washington, d. G. For several
months there has been in prog
ress an inquiry into the subject
of pa! asltic intestinal symptoms,
and 500 separate microscopical
examinations have been made at
the hyglenic laboratory of the
public health service.
The results illustrate the fact
that caution must be taken TO
avert a spread of diseases hereto
fore unknown to this country
The conclusions of the inquiry
show that army life in the Philip
pines is conducive to Infection by
parasites wholly unknown IN the
United States. The various forms
of parasites found embrace hook
worms, Cochin China worms. tri-
chura, whip worms, seat worms
and eel worms.
OF the 500 patients examined,
sixty-six showed parasite infec-
ton, ten had double infection,
and in one case three different

RICHEST OF LIVING MEN.
The Income OF John D. Rockefeller Reaches
S7s00O,0O0 Year

S7s00O,0O0 a Year
1t is probable that the wealth
of John D. Rockefeller has been
estimated at too high q figure. --
Still, the fact remains that by
calculating from the size of the
dividends he receives from the
corporations i'm which he Is inter
ested it is possible TO arrive at an
approximately correct estimate
of his fortune. A business man
closely associated with Mr..
Rockefeller, and said to be in
position to know, is quoted as
asserting that Mr.. Rockefeller is
now by far the richest man in the
world, worth more than twice as
much as any other American
citizen. His Standard Oil stock,
at the market rates, is worth
100000, 900, from which alone
for several years he has received
dividends of S4O0, 100000 per an
mum, or a little less than 81 600.
600 d week. Besides this he has
other sources of income that
brings HIM about S35, 100000 a
year, so that his total income
from all sources is not less than
S75, 100000, year, as it has been
for several years, and there is no
suggestion of a check in theenorm
Gus inflow.
That is to say, Mr.. Rockeleller's
income for single year is more
than the enormous fortune left
by VIM. II. Vanderbilt to his sons.
In ten years Mr.. Rockefeller's
wealth will be nearly $1,000, ,000,-
900 from his annual income alone.
At the moment 1t is said he can
lay his hand on more ready cash
than any ten men in New York,
including Russell Sage, the Van
derbilts and Goulds.
There are. Of course, dozen
sermons in the flood of gold pour
ing into Rockefeller Golfers. -
How long will it be before he will
have a corner on the wealth of the
United States ? Is such enOrm-
Gus power concentrated in the
hands Of one man a good thing
for the public interests? Do not
such aggregation of capital cause
discomfort in the masses? Should
there be a legal limit to private
fortunes These are but few
of the questions that suggest
themselves. There are others
equally serious that will occur to
those who read of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's riches-which riches he can
never see and never ENJOY IN the
sense that an average man in well
to-do circumstances enjoys his
property. What can the man
possibly want of so much money?

1t was thought she was only jok-

her over her death. Finally some one
became apprehensive that the woman
was in earnest and suggp stcd that a
doctor bo call d. While no one
thought such a thing as her commit
ting suicide was probable, in view OF
her actions it was decided to call
doctor anyway. Considerable time was
spent in getting a physician, but
finally one was summoned and
reached the saloon about half past
thre q in the morning. He saw at
once that the woman was in the last
stage of strychnlne poisoning, al
though she claimed it was arsenic
that she had taken. She only laughed
when asked if she had tried to com
NIT suicide, and would not talk about
it, but continued to pass remarks
with the people around her. Too
much valuable time had been lost in
securing medical aid, and the woman
died in about ten minutes after the
physician arrived. When her death
was announced, it was a shock to her
companions. as they had no idea that
she would die, and had viewed the
whole affair as a joke, until the last.
Her body was removed to Willough-

SUE THE COUNTY.
Northren Pacific Railway Claims IIle-
gal Assessment.

The Northern Pacific railway has
commenced suit against Flathead
county, asking that the portion of the
delinquent tax sale Of 1902, affecting
certain lands, be set aside, and the
property in question be returned to
them. The company claims that in
1901, taxes We're levied by the county
upon lands that Were not then in
their possession. and when they re
fused to pay The same, the lands
sold at the delinquent tax sale,
h | Dec. lG, 1902, and We're pur-
.ased by .athead county. The com
Eany had selected the lands in ques-
ton in return for other lands traded
to the government, and had filed on
the same in the local land office. The
filings were forwarded to the com
missioner Of the general land office
at Washington, but no action had
been taken by that official, and they
claim that at the time the taxes were
levied, they were not the real own
ers of the land.
The company claims that the taxes
levied were illegal and were without
the authority Of the law, and they
ask that all entries showing the same
be Cancelled on the assessment books
Of the county. They also asks for
costs of suit.

tiles to Their Juniors With a Kind
But Very Patronizing Manner.

Commencement is the day when
the school boys and girls are born
into new life. They have in a way
been living a life of subsection, either
to parents or guardians or the school
faculty, but at this time they emerge
from this condition to an independ-
ence OF action to condition, which
is, SO far as possible, free and indie
pendent. Hereafter they are to act
upon their own judgment, they sue
ceed or fail, according to the way
they exercise their courage, self con-
tiedence and persistency of pur-
pose. In a scholarly sense, Friday
last was their birthday of manhood
and womanhood. The school days
now past have been the prenatal con-
ditions that are TO mean vigor and
stability Of character or weakness
and viscillation of purpose to those
who now step forth to assume new
duties and responsibilities. One thing
these applicants for an active parti-
cipation in the worlds work have
learned is that a progressive life is a
constant daily schooling.
They seemed to be fully impressed
with the idea that a man or woman
who wants to perform part in the
life of today. can never stop the pro
cess of educational prolonged course
of study of which the school days
were only the preparatory course.
Long before the exercises commenc-
ed the house was crowded. parents,

The class history which Mabel
Weightman gave was interesting
from beginning to end. She told of
the time several of the class COM
menced their arduous duties in the
little log school house at Demersville,
and followed each one up to the pres
ent, not forgetting the school
mates who had dropped out.
The next, an oration, "The United
States in the Philippines" by Oscar
E. Peterson, showed that the subject
had been given great study and was
handled in a smooth, easy and pleas
ing manner.
The class poem was read by Grace
L. Brandenburg, and was pretty,

LEWIS AND CLARK RESERVE.
Flathead Forest Reserve Ceases to
Exist

With the publishing of the order
consolidating the two reserves, the
Flathead forest reserve ceased to ex-
list, and will be known instead as the
northern division of the Lewis and
Clarke reserve. The line OF the
Great Northern railway will be the
division point, all north being in
charge Of Supervisor Haines and all
south In charge of Gus Moser. Each
man will have the same authority as
before, and there will be no change
in their compensation. Information
to that effect was received in kalis-

includes all lands formerly embraced
in the old reserve, as we'll as the
open lands along the Great Northern
railway between these two, and two
townships west Of the Saltwater
