SPOTTED FEVER
Has Claimed Two Victims In Biddeford
Both Children.

Biddeford. Me. April 2.-Whiie two
deaths in this city have resulted from
cerebro-srinal meningitis, or spotted
fever, the local physicians have no fear
that the disease will become epidemic.
One victim was a child of years and
the other babe of months.
There have been other deaths recent
ly- from meningitis, and some physi-
cIans believe that these were caused
by spotted fever. although The death
certificate filed at the office of the city
clerk gives the cause of the deataf as
meningitis. Many physicians say they
never had 4 case of the maiady.
The liquor deputies now carry little
red books in which they record The
names of those who make requests that
the liquor they have sent to Boston for
shall not be seized. Thirteen such re-
quests were received by Deputy Renolf
in an hour. Tuesday. Wednesday
morning when he reached his Office. he
found no less than 20 men waiting to
make a request that the liquor con-
signed TO them should not be seized
All such requests are granted when the
liquor officers are satisfied that the
parties making them are Tot in the Ii
Quor business.

A Wholesome Comedy at Opera House.

Lessons that even the young can I'M
derstand are taught by that clean and
wholesome comedy. THE Mummy and
the Humming Bird which comes to
the Opera House on Thursday. April
6. The anguish of mind that is Lord
Lumleys when he discovers that his
wife has become infatuated with the
gay LOthariO. the "Humming Bird"
must tell every youth who witnesses
the play that a husband should pay
some attention to his wife, else he may
have to pay attention to rival
Whilst every miss will realize that "all
that glitters is not gold as she with
Lady Lumley awakes to a realization of
the shallOwness of the character of the
brilliant but despicable D'Orelli. And
both youth and miss alike cannot help
having it brought forcibly to their I'M
derstanding that 1.-THE wages of sin is
DEATH" as they watch the remorseless
pursuit of the drumming Bird by his
Nemesis, the poor Italian organ grind
or. whose home he despoiled. And
these lessons. while pointed and un-
mistakable, are not preached like a
sermon but are gently administered
through q series of the most interest
ing and amusing incidents ever pOr-
trayed on the stage.
The seat sale opens tomorrow at 8 A.

one in Peekskill enjoyed drawing him

he would painfully duck his head from

his complaint the effect was most dis

DIR. COOK AND DRY FARMING.

Laramie county, the city Of Chey-
enne the Cheyenne board Of trade
have employed DIR. Cook of Oregon to
instruct the farmers in the vicinity of
Cheyenne in The matter of dry farm
ing, and the DOCTOR has already taken
hold OF the work. He has made an in
vestigation of the meteorological o N
ditions existing in Wyoming and has
in the country where he has been car
rying on successful operations during
the past few years. He said to the ed
itor of The Republican that we had a
great country here II did not know
it; that if the farmers would follow his
instructions in the matter of selecting
seed, planting and cultivating there
would be no question as TO the result.
He was greatly surprised that farming
had been carried on to such a limited
degree in Wyoming.
AT Cheyenne about all one hears at
the present time is dry farm talk and
the committee having charge of the
matter is making a desperate effort to
get the matter thoroughly started dur
ing the present season. They are
fully alive to the fact that If anything
Is to be done during the season of 1905
blowing must begin at once. Many
ranchmen have been urged to put in
one or more acres under the direction
of DR.. Cook, whose services will be
furnished to them without charge. A
number have signified their willing
ness to try the experiment, and a few
have objected on the narrow ground
that successful operations in this di-
rection would cause them loss and an
noyance through settlers coming in
and locating upon government land
within their enclosures. If the expert
ment are successful, and they doubt
less will be, they can rest assured that
all government land available for farm
ing will be taken in a few years.
There is much land to the west of
Laramie upon which wheat and dry
land alfalfa could doubtless be success
fully grown. All the land in the big
basin and upon its rim is of excellent
quality. 1t grows splendid grass for
grazing purposes without any cultiva-
ton whatever. Under the Campbell
system Of cultivation it would doubt
less produce excellent crops. The time
IL at hand when this land will be given
over to other uses than the mere graz
ing of stock.
