New Fatal Disease Attacks Children.

The attention of the Medical De.
partment of the University of Mis-
souri, has just been called to new
fatal disease which somewhat re-
sembles tropical dysentery that has
been raging for six weeks near the
little town of Wien in Charlton
county. Fifty per cent of those
attacked have died within few
days. Children are the chief suf.
ferers, those from eighteen months
to four years of age rarely ever re.
covering when once stricken.
Grown persons have been attacked
in few instances but have recov-
cred. DR.. a. W. McAlester,
Dean of the Medical Department of
the University, who was called to
the scene of the epidemic as rep
resentatiye of the State Board of
Health, says:
Smallpox is luxury compared
with this disease. Within radius
of three miles from Wien fifteen
children have died in six weeks
and dozens Of others are now at
the point of death. | visited one
home where five children lay sick
of the disease. Fifty per cent of
those attacked die and young
child has scarcely one chance in Il
thousand of surviving it. We
have as yet found nothing to indi'
cate where the disease came from
nor what it is, though it closely re.
sembles tropical dysentery. DR..
A. }. Detweiler. Psychologist to
the State Board of Health, is on
the ground making a thorough in L.
vestigation and the Board will
soon be able to make a complete
report to the medical profession of
the State"

Anxious to Fight

The President, in his now ia
nous speech TO the cadets at West
Point, laid down Il doctrine which
cannot with safety he endorsed by
the American people. TO say that
Il good soldier must not only be
willing to fight but anxious to
fight, is TO say that a desire to
kill is n necessary part of the sol.
dler's equipment If that be true
it is necessary that the army be re-
duced 10 the smallest limit consis
tent with public security, and it is
not certain that any foreign dan
ger can equal the danger that arises
from the training of men to desire
to take human life. That man
can sincerely accept the Christian
religion, as the president does, and
still manifest the delight that he
does in bloodShed and slaughter,
shows how difficult il is to bring
the physical man into subsection to
the spiritual man. Mr.. Roosevelt
seems to enjoy more than his pred
ecessors the exercise of power. He
has no natural aptitude for the cx-
ercise of authority, for self control
is the first essential in the rules,
but he loves to give commands.
1t is this passion for power that
makes him dangerous man in the
white house. Judge Parker is the
very antithesis of President Roose
welt. He is judicial in tempera.
ment and deliberate in action; his
inclinations are toward peace rath.
er than toward war. He would
stimulate the youth of the land to
follow business pursuits rather
than to prepare for carnage. Four
more years of the physical siren.
uOusness and political uncertainty
OF RoOseveltism and the country
would be on the verge of prostra- =
ton; four years of Parkerism will
not bring the economic reforms
which the people need, but they
will give the people rest and pre-
pare them to renew the struggle in
earnest in 1905. The Commoner.

FIRE AT FAIR GROUNDS
HeO-HOO Building Completely Destroyed
by Fire-L0SS $4,000.

Special to the Light:
| st. Louis, June 4.-The Hoo
building, one of the finest finished
buildings on the fair grounds, was
! completely destroyed by fire early
this morning. The Texas building,
about two hundred feet away, was
saved only by reason of the wind
being in the opposite direction. The
Texas women in charge of the build
ing worked heroically to save the
precious relics on display therein.
These were all removed until danger
had passed. No damage was done
the Texas building.
1t is not known how the fire orig
mated. Although the fire depart
ment on the grounds was assisted
by engines from the city no head
way could be made against the
flames. The building seemed to go
up in flash.
All the contents of the building
were destroyed. Loss, $50, 900, part
ly insured.
{Note-The Hoo-Hoo building was
built by the lumbermen's organiza-
tion, and was their rendezvous at
the Fair. 1t was used as restau-
rant for members of the order, and
had large reception rooms and
dancing pavilion. The interior fin
ishings were in the finest of pine
and cypress.
Broad verandas around the build
ing made it exceptionally cool and
inviting. Ed

should tell you what a wonderful
effect Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has produced. The day before Easter
l was 80 distressed with a cold and
cough that l did not think to be
able to take any duties the next
day as my voice was almost choked
by the cough. The same day | re-
ceived an order from you for bottle
of your Cough Remedy. l at once
procured sample bottle and took
about three doses of the medicine.
To my great relief the cough and
cold had completely disappeared and
was able to preach three times on
Easter Day. 1 know that this rapid
and effective cure was due to your
Cough Remedy. I make this testi-
monial without solicitation, being
thankful for having found such a God
sent remedy. Respectfully yours,
