SCARE AT CAMBRIDGE
Parents of Studenrs Fear Diphtheria
 Epidemic

Cambridge, Mass. The diphtheria scare at Harvard has resulted in a war of unprecedented fierceness be- tween Dean Hurlburt and the under graduates. Fearing a repetition of the epidemic which proved so fatal at Cornell last year, parents all over the United States have been telegraphing urgent orders for their s.sons to come home immediately.
 The dean asserts there is no such epidemic among undergraduates and refuses to let the students go. In many case, he has directly opposed his authority as disciplinarian to parental authority, and has provoked thereby feeling of great hostility.
 One mother in Chicago has been sending telegram after telegram to her son since the "scare" first began, the messages varying from fifty to one hundred words. The last one was ad- dressed to the dean, and used forcible language, "I insist"
 Managers of the telegraph officers say they never in their history handled so many "scare telegrams as have flooded the wires for the last few days.

Plot Matched in Jail

Helena, Mont. In the trial of Isaac Gravelle, charged with dynamiting property of the Northern Pacific Rail way company, it developed that the plot against the railroad was matched in the Deer Lodge penitentiary years ago. An ex-convict named Murphy testified that Gravelle, who was then in the penitentiary, told him that he and others had scheme of getting money from the railroad. Most of the day was spent in expert testimony, by which it was sought to prove that six of the threatening letters had been written in the penitentiary and snug gled out of the prison by Gravelle when he was discharged last July. A tablet was introduced in evidence and counsel for the state said he would prove that Gravelle had borrowed the tablet from school girl for the pur- pose of writing the letters. The tab let paper was the same as that on which four threatening letters were written.

TREATY HAS BECOME LAW
European Powers Now Ask for Equal
 FavorS

Washington-When the house con- vened Friday the speaker signed the bill carrying into effect the Cuban re- ciprocity treaty, using gold pen provided by the Cuban minister.
 The bill was taken to the White House by the chairman of the house committee on enrolled bills. With the same gold pen with which the measure had been signed by Speaker Cannon and Senator Frye, president pro tenn of the senate, the president affixed his signature to the bill, thus making it law. The pen belongs to Minister Quesada.
 |. Now that the bill has become law, question of great interest has arisen, namely, the effect of the reduction of the duty on sugar from other coun- tries. The British government has served formal notice upon the state department that under the favored nation" clause, it expects that British sugar from the British West Indies shall be admitted into the United States on equal terms with Cuban sugar, and it is not doubted that Ger many, France, Austria and the other great beet sugar producing countries will do likewise. An old holding of Attorney General Olney under Presi- dent Cleveland administration was adverse to such demand, but the question promises to be reopened with vigor.

AIRSHIP IS A SUCCESS
Wright Machine Made a Three Mile
 Flight

Norfolk, Va.-Near Kittyhawk, N. O., successful trial of flying machine has been made by Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, 0. The machine flew for three miles in the face Of wind blowing at the velocity of twenty-one miles an hour and then gracefully descended to earth at the spot selected by the navigator. The machine has no balloon attachment, but gets its force from propellers working by small, engine.
 Preparatory to its flight the ma chine was placed upon platform near Kitty Hawk. This platform was built on high sand hill, and when all was in readiness the fastenings of the machine were released and it was started down an incline. The navigator, Wilbur Wright, then started small gasoline engine, which worked the propellers. When the end of the incline was reached the machine gradually arose until it attained an altitude of sixty feet. In the face of the strong wind blowing it maintained an even speed of eight miles an hour In the basic formation of the flying machine the idea of the box kite was adopted. A huge framework of light timbers thirty three feet wide, five feet deep and five feet across the top forms the machine proper. This is covered with a tough but light canvas
 In the center is the navigator's car. and suspended just below the bottom is small gasoline engine, which fur nished che motive power for the pro polling and elevating wheels.
 There are two six blade propellers. one arranged just below the frame so as to exert an upward force when in motion and the other extending hori- zontally to the rear from the center of the car. furnishing the forward i'm puetus. ProtIuding from the center of the car is huge fan shaped rudder of canvas stretched on a frame of wood. This rudder is controlled by the navigator, and may be moved to each side, raised or lowered.

WANTS GOOD ROADS
The National Grange Demands the
 Aid of Uncle Sam

The farmers are classsconservative in their views, and slow to move. They do their thinking first and their talking afterwards. For some reason the farmers of this country have been reading and thinking about road im7 provement and the best way to sec Ire that much desired result. They have considered local taxation and labor as the means of building good roads, and have found this long tried plan to be a failure except in limited localities

Yellow Fever Epidemics.

Fenrs for the future have been al- layed. It may safely be predicted that never again in the history of the Uni ted States will an epidemic of yellow fever occur. And all of this has been brought about by the discovery that once more mosquito must be blamed for one of the greatest of human ills.-- Century.
Holbrook argus., 1903-12-26

They have studied the State-aid plan and observed the great advance made under it. Finally they have been studying the question of National aid and they appear to have concluded that "it is the way they long have sought and mourned because they found it not" At any rate that fine, conservative old farmers organization, the Patrons of Husbandry, commonly spoken of as "the Grange" in its national meeting at Buffalo few days ago came out with the following strong and unequivocal declaration.
 Whereas, The United States Govern ment has expended vast amounts of money in the improvement of trans portation facilities by river and har- Dor appropriations and had donated vast tracts of valuable land in aid of the construction of railroads.
 Therefore, be it resolved, That the National Grange favors the inaugura- tion of National policy for the i'm provement of highways, and the ap- propriation by Congress of liberal amount to establish comprehensive system of road improvement through the corporation of the Federal and State governments, suggesting that the general features of what is termed the Brownlow Rill embody, with some notifications, the essential features of such policy.
 Resolved, That we call upon all State, Pomona, and Subordinate Oranges to take prompt and vigorous } action upon this important matter. Also that our legislative committee be au horized to gather all the infor- nation possible regarding the road laws and systems of road building in the several states, and that such in formation be published in such form as the Committee deems best
 These resolutions will set in motion Vast force that moves slowly but ir- resistibly; for it must be remembered that the National Grange usually gets what it goes after whether it is a State freight rate law, the creation of National Depar tment of Agriculture, or the passage of au oleomargarlne bill. This is by far the most import ant endorsement the Brownlow Bill has yet received
