TOWN VICTIM OF =.
DOCTORS BLUNDER
Physician Didn't Understand
Vaccinating - Smallpox
Spreads at Argyle.

An alarming epidemic of smallpox
has broken out at Argyle, Mimi, and
has spread 50 rapidly IN the past two
weeks that DR.. H. NJ. Bracken of the
state board of health and DR.. P. NJ.
Hall, health commissioner of Mime
apolis, have been appealed to for help.
The first cases were noticed about
month ago, but as they were mild,
many thought it chickenpox. However,
physician vaccinated all who were
willing. but did not understand the use
of the lymph tubes. Consequently the
community was not rendered immune.
The physician, thinking the needle
furnished with the tubes was hollow,
slipped the tube over the needle and
then attempted to force the liquid thru
the solid needle and under the skin.
The patients thus treated thought they
had been vaccinated and took no more
precautions.
Later, however, persons who thought
they had been vaccinated were strick-
en- with smallpox. Some Of them
thought vaccination was no preventive
and the disease spread so rapidly that
DIR. H. M. Bracken was summoned. He
soon discovered the mistake and those
not already i'll were vaccinated again.
DR.. 2. NJ. Hall also visited the town
and helped the authorities. The disease
is in a comparatively light form and
there will probably be few deaths. 1t
is thought that the recent vaccination
will bring the epidemic under control

Denver, Co.. March 19.-Jesse F.
Mcdonald, mine owner of Leadville,
is now governor of Colorado. He took
the oath of office yesterday afternoon,
and thus Colorado had three governors
within twentyfour hours.
Faithful to his promise that if the
legislature would GUST Governor Alva
Adams and seat him, he would resign
within twenty-four hours, James H.
Peabody handed in his resignation,
written four days ago, and stepped
down and out. From the hour Of his
election, friends Of Peabody moved
heaven and earth to secure the support
of his opponents in the deal to release
him from his promise and let him keep
the office, but without avail. ..
The famous gubernatorial muddle is
probably settled, and the legislature
will try to do in the remaining four
teen days of the session what has been
neglected for seventy-six days.
After Mcdonald took the oath of of.

OF Tie pass or dispersed into the noun

For twenty-four hours there has not
come an official dispatch from General
Llnevitch or any Of his officers. Tele-
graphic communications have been cut.
There is a sickening fear that he haa
lost his guns and that his army is with
out food and ammunition and sur
rounded.
Army's Command Transferred.
The last word from the front was
contained in messages from Generals
Llnevltch and Kuropatkin announcing
the transfer of command of the army to
the former. These messages followed
an ominous message from the Associated
Press correspondent, the only cor
respondent with the retiring army. It
presaged an attack from the rear.
The telegram, altho dated Chang-tu-
flu (forty miles north of Tie pass) at
4 pm, Thursday, was sent from Fai-
yuan, thirty miles north of Tie pass,
and only reached st. Petersburg this
morning. 1t was very brief, saying
simply that the army was retiring in
good order and destroying the RAILROAD
as it went, but was constantly pressed
by the Japanese, the rear guard action
being continuous. There were significant
words in the closing sentence, as fol-

to conduct discretionary business in
cotton futures. Its operations reached
over every state and territory in the

In the petition for the receivership,
facts, furnished by Secretary Treasurer
Quinlan, were set forth showing that
the concern has more than 10000 pat
rons; assets Of not more than, 100000,
and liabilities in excess of $25O,0OO..
All Of these figures are believed to be
understatements, available information
tending to show that the scope Of the

by $50 per cent Miller.
The concern claimed to deal on both
