PREVENTS SMALLPOX.

Alabastine will not cure smallpox
and other contagious diseases, once
they have fastened their deadly grip
upon their victims. 1t will do much,
however, toward preventing their
spread.
1t is well recognized fact that GER
tain wall coatings do much to harbor
disease germs and propagate same;
that of all coverings wall paper Is
the most likely to hold the germs Of
disease for months and years.
There are well authenticated cases
where smallpox. scarlet fever and other
germs have lain dormant for years,
and have attacked persons afterward
when the paper was removed.
Kalsomines stuck on the wall with
decaying glue are not much better
than wall paper with its vegetable
paste.
Alabastine is recommended gener-
ally by sanitarians, as coating for
walls in any style Of work, as it is
perfectly sanitary, is in the nature Of
hard surface, is manufactured from
a cement base, and does not furnish a
Judgment ground for disease germs.
Years ago these matters received
but little attention. but modern scien-
lists becoming appalled, at the spread
of the dread disease, smallpox, and
the difficulty in stamping it out, have
gone to investigating causes. and I'M
hesitatingly say that improper wall
o0atiDoo bava varv much FL do with
this.
Alabastine is recommended to be
used on all infected walls, to destroy
germs and to get walls once more in
a healthy condition.

served in the island of Samar, testified
before the courtmartial, which is try
ing Major Glenn on the charge of
unlawfully killing seven prisoners of

COMPROMISE ON STATEHOOD
Hopes Of Settling Fate Of The
Bill In Ten Days.
FLYNN BREAKS HIS SILENCE,

Washington, Jan. 17.-Some sort of
proposition is under consideration
looking to a termination of the dead
lock in the senate over the statehood
question. tits impossible to determine
definitely what the character of the
understanding is ON which the opposi-
ton forces have been trying to get
together in the hope of ending the de-
bate and allowing other public bust
ness to be taken up for consideration
and disposition. II is understood, how
ever, that compromise is likely to be
reached, and it is said the statehood
matter will be settled one way or an
other within ten days. From this it is
gethered that proposition las come
from one side or the other by which
the present measure before the senate
will be modified and it is believed that
statehood in some form will be the
outgrowth. Whatever it may prove to
be, there is not the least likelihood
that the Indian Territory will be an
nexed to Oklahoma and both be adj
mitted as one state. Some important
developments are looked for within the
next few days.
Delegate Flynn, who has preserved
silence regarding statehood matters in
his talks with newspaper men, ex-
pressed himself rather emphatically
and with disfavor touching the efforts
to complicate the statehood question as
it affects Oklahoma with statehood for
the Indian territory which are being
made in certain quarters both at home
and in the Indian Territory.
81 have heretofore kept my mouth
shut on this subject" he said, 'but it
is quite evident to me that the people
are being fooled.
There are not twenty-five votes for
the Nelson amendment in the senate
and never have been. The omnibus
bill has always had majority and has
a majority of the votes now. Say for
me that there isn't ghost of a chance
of any legislation passing congress
which looks to the incorporation of
the Indian Territory in one state with
Oklahoma, at least at this time. If
any legislation passes it will be admis-
sion of Oklahoma as one state"

NO MORE TICKET scALPING IN
CHICAGO

Illinois comes into line with New
York and Pennsylvania in vigorous
action against the ticket scalping
thieves and forgers, three having
been sentenced on Saturday, IN Chi
cago, after fortnight's trial, one Of
whom, profiting by his experience,
pleaded guilty to second indictment,
while the. trial of the others will
doubtless proceed to another convic-
ton. Chicago has long been favor
lite field for ticket speculation, and a
blow against the nefarious practice
could nowhere have been landed more
effectively. The persistent and unit
ed efforts of the leading railroads Of
the country to exterminate the bust
ness, which is simply one OF petty lar
ceny, robbing the poor and the wage
earners, are bringing most satisfac-
tory results.-From the Brooklyn
