STAMPEDES
POLITICAL CONVENTION

Fairfield, lathe Republican con-
vention in session here the other day
broke up with a stampede when a
large elephant, weighing several tons
and trumpeting furiously. suddenly
squeezed through the wide double
doorway and began stalking down the
convention hall toward the presiding
officer
The elephant was the property of a
visiting Snowman and had been
dressed up with a large &c. o. p"
banner across its back and brought
to the convention hall by practical
Joker. But this fact did not impress
itself all at once on the delegates.
Immediately there was panic
Men rushed madly for the windows
and leaped for their lives. Several
were seriously injured and among
them James Billings. a stanch Repub-
lican OF this section. Mr.. Billings
was in the rear Of the hall when the
elephant entered and was first brought
to a realization of the monsters pres
ence by feeling the hot breath Of the
beast on the back Of his neck.
Frightened half ont OF his wits, he
made mad rush for the window
with the elephant following slowly in
the wake At the window he stopped
not a second but literally rolled him
self out. He landed ON his side on
the hard concrete walk below and

Lehigh, l. t. July IA meeting of
the Medical Society of the Twenty
Third Recording district of Indian Ter
ritory was held here yesterday in the
rooms of the Lehigh Commercial club
Many good papers were read by some
OF the leading physicians Of the dis
trict From the fac' OF the prevalence
Of mad dogs and wounds from spiders
and snakes, the society passed reso-
luton that the following letter of ad-
vice be published to the public:
In case of dog bite: 1. Don't kill
the dog until sufficient time has
elapsed for observation as to whether
he has hydrophobia or not. The dog
is the star witness.
- Take the patient to the doctor
instead of sending for the doctor to
visit the patient, as much valuable
time is lost in this way
SO Don't discuss the sWlptoms Of
hydrophobla in the presence OF the
patient. If It Is necessary to kill the
deg to prevent il biting .others, his
head shoeld be cut on and sent to a
