In private conversation with Governor
Ferguson, Dr. Richardson stated the en-
ployes of the institution were receiving
practically the same salary received by
government employees in similar positions.
He had many nice things TO say relative
TO DR.. Griffin, who has charge of the
institution. and considers the mana cement
of the sanitarium fortunate in having
such a man az the head of the santa
rum medical force.
Dr. Richardson had all the papers in
the matter, including the subcommittee
report of the legislative investigating
committee. which report was never
adopted, ard affidavits filed by J. J. Mer-
rick and others. He carefully consid-
OF 10 frc
relative TO Merrick's alleged demand for
a place in the Institution II seems that
Merrick's persistent knocking had lit
tie effect upon the report relative TO the
institution.
Governor Ferguson is much pleased
over the report submitted to him and
believes that the persons who have been
persistently talking of sanitarium troI-
BILE will be forced TO take a rear seat from
this time on. He has been satisfied in
his own mind that the sanitarium is
an right, and is more assured of this
fact now than ever before.
For some time it was believed that
there would be no investigation of the
institution. The request was made many
weeks ago and nothing definite could be
heard from the department at Washing
ton. However, Secretary Hitchcock re-
quested Dr. Richardson to make the re
port and copy of it will be placed on
file in the department. Of the interior for
future reference.
1t is believed that the submitting Of
the report will end the sanitarium trou-
Bile sfor some time to come. as il is ab-
solutely impossible TO go behind the re-
rort Of the government inspector.

Appealed Case

Guthrie. o. T.. May 6.-The case OF
John Neverman and George Plain versus
the Bank of Cass County of Plattsmouth
Neb., involving the sum of 500 with in
'terest, has been appealed TO the Okla
hona supreme court from the district
court OF Grant county. The case was
first tried in the probate court and at
that time it was brought out in the evi-
dence that notes had been given TO Lizzie
McClain which were afterwards sold in
payment of lease on certain land in
Nebraska. The plaintiffs in error claim
that there was a verbal understanding
by which if 1901 proved TO be a failure as
far as crops were concerned payment Of
the note would not be demanded. II Is
asserted that 1901 was a poor year for
crops and consequently payment of the
note was refused. The case was appeal
ed to the district court and then to the
supreme court.

THE WORLDS LEPERS
Dread Disease Has Invaded Practi-

Strict Regulations Against 1t Are

Hts Grasp-Rages Through
out the Orient.

Recent investigations in Norway show
that leprosy in that country is loosening
Its grasp, and that the government has
been justified in enforcing its strict iso-
lation regulations.
Though dark races have been more
subject to the scourge of leprosy than the
white. in every country and race thers
have been many victims of the dread
disease.
Leprosy has existed since the records
OF history. and perhaps in prehistoric
days it worked its ravages in both Asis
and Africa Until the Crusades, 1t was
practically unknown in Europe, but be
ginning with that period 1t spread at .
dangerous rate. During the Middle Ages
almost every village in Great Britain ant
France had its leper hospital. Men pres

nous natural resources. The love of
the dollar is strong in all peoples, and
it may be that some day what is now
but an undercurrent so weak as to be
almost imperceptible save by magma
ton may become a raging torrent
moving with such force as to sweep
Canada into the union despite her re-
gard for the mother land
I'VE have the best government in
the world, we do not want toll be an
nexed," said Alex Macdonald, an old
Scotch merchant of Winnipeg, to me,
"but we do want this nonsensical tariff
barrier removed between the two coun-
tries; we want a place to sell our grain
and our lumber. 1t is that tariff which
keeps us poor"
That is it. I have heard the same
sentiments expressed in Canada prac-
tlcally from the Atlantic to the Paci-
fic, and If annexation ever comes it
will be because love of the dollar has
outgrown the love for England. 1t will
not be because they love England less,
but because they love the dollar more.
Will the American immigrant to
Canada influence a sentiment for an
neXation? Will he grow homesick?
Will he wish for the old flag to fly
over his school house and his home ?
The chances are that he will not unless
the desire be born of love for the dollar.
Canada will give him as good govern
ment as he has ever known; 1t will give
