High School Commercial Course.

AT a meeting of the school
board Monday evening of last week
it was decided to add a commerce.
al and normal course to the Brok.
en- Bow schools. Sincelthe discon
tinuance of the Business and
Normal college it has been quite
freely suggested that something
to take its place ought to be es-
tablished in our city, and after
considerable Investigation aud
study the school board has decid
ed to supply the want by adding
a commercial and normal course
to the public school.
The commercial course will be
opened November g, under the in
struction of Mr.. Chester f. Huff
of Central City, very competent
teacher and the course will be
open to all pupils of the Broken
Bow district who have passed the
9Th grade, but no pupils who are
at present attending school in
any grade above the 9Th, will be
allowed to enter the commercial
course until the beginning of the
next school year.
The normal course will not be
put in, it is thought, until the
beginning of the next school
year.
Being part of the public
school system and under the jur-
isdiction of the school board,
these new departments will be as
permanent as any Of the other
grades in the public school, and
1t will place within the reach of
every boy and girl the opportu, :
ity to take an up to-date business
or normal course right at home.
There will be no tuition for pu-
piles of the Broken Bow district,
but a reasonable tuition fee will
be charged for those outside of
the district. 1t is the intention
OF the board to make the course
in both commercial and normal
departments as complete and
thorough as possible, so that
graduates from either will have
something to show for their time
and money expended.
For young men and young la
dies in the country who desire to
prepare for business or teaching,
this will afford splendid oppor
tunity to take an up to date bust
ness or normal course of study al
a very moderate cost, and a spe
cial effort will he made to &C
commodate and take care of al
outside students who wish t.
avail themselves of this oppor-
tunity.
All inquiries relating to these
courses should be addressed to l.

board,

In a day, week or a month from
now if you die without insurance
it may mean penury for your

Richard I. when IN the Holy Land
amused himself with hawking on the
plain of Sharon and is said to have
presented some of these birds to the

he saw In one of the villages, and he re-
fused to give it up. He was attacked
so furlousiy by the justly incensed VII

ficulty that he managed to make his
escape.
King John used to send both to Ire
land and to. Norway for his hawks We
are told bt Froissart that when Ed
ward III. invaded France he had thir-
~ falcons and every day either hunted
or went to the river for the purpose OF
hawking. Henry VII. imported Cos

ADVERTISERS OF FACTS
Small Pox Spread by Bedbugs
San Antonio Physician Startles the Medical Pro-
fession with Results of Researches in Texas
Eruptive Hospital

A special dispatch to the Houston
Post from San Antonio, Texas, says.
What promises 10 prove one Of The
most valuable discoveries OF modern
times has just been announced by Or.
Charles A. r. Campbell, city bacteriol
ogist 81 San Antonio, who has had
charge Of the city's eruptiye hospital
for over two years. He has finally dis
covered how small pox is communicat.
ed from one person 10 another; how 1t
may be eradicated and how smallpox
patients may be saved from becoming
disflgured by the pi,ting OF this dis
case.
DR.. Campbell. who for the past six
years has been making a special study
Of yellow fever and smallpox, now for
the first time makes public the re-
suits of his researches regarding the
variola vera, that much dreaded dis
ease--true smallpox. According to DIR.
Campbell, smallpox Is not contagious
nor infectious in the original sense of
these terms, for he says that 1t can
only be communicated from the small
pox victim to another person by
means OF incubation with the blood Of
the smallpox patient, by artificial
means, such as the h%ypodermic syr-
inge. or by the incubation caused by
the healthy subject being bitten by
the cimexletnlarius. the common bed
bug, which has previously bitten the
smallpox patient. This insect, n Of
the most common known, has until
now been considered merely as an an
noying pest but not In the least dan
gerous TO human life; thus while the
dreaded smallpox was ravaging cities
no one thought Of looking to this pest
for the cause Of the spread Of the dis
ease.
In the most emphatic terms DR..
Campbell states that the bedbug Oc-
cupies the same position with ref
erence TO smallpox as does the ste
gonna fasclata mesquite to yellow few
er or the anophele mosquito to mala-
ria. In yellow fever, AS has now been
conclusively demonstrated. the disease
lis communicated by means Of the Ste
gonna fasciata mosquitoes biting the
yellow fever victim, and then biting
the healthy subject, and in SO doing
the healthy subject Is %inoculated with
the germs OF yellow fever; while the
bedbug, in nearly the same manner,
inoculates the subject with the infec-
ton, believed to be a protocol or haze
mamebae. Having engorged itself with
the infected blood of a smallpox vic
tim. the bedbug has only TO bite the
healthy subject to communicate TO

him the dreaded disease, and thus the
smallpox is spread in a mysterious but
rapid manner.
DR.. Campbell has also demonstrat.
Cd that the horrible disfiguring OF the
patient BY pitting In smallpox cases Is
not due directly to the action OF the
smallpox protocol or haemamebae it,
self but TO the scorbutic cachexia,
this being the reason why some vic
tins are horribly pitted while others
who have contracted smallpox at the
same time and from the blood of the
same person are scarcely pitted.
DR.. Campbell asserts that if this
cachexia be eliminated by the prompt
administration Of proper remedies a
cure will inevitably follow and the
pitting either entirely prevented or 1t
Will be reduced to q minimum; bur In
nearly all cases 1t can be entirely pre-.
vented. as many persons living in this
city can attest.
DR.. Campbell is preparing a full re-
port OF his researches on smallpox
and. this will contain the remedies and
treatment which have been used by
him with such marvellous success, and
as soon as he completes this he will
give It freely to the public In hopes
that the cause and cure Of smallpox
may be published all over the world,
so that by concerted action In exter.
minating the bedbug. and by the use
OF these remedies, which are inexpen.
sive, the ravages Of this disease may
be eliminated and within a few years
smallpox itself finally eradicated.
