NO LONGER SERIOUS
Meningitis Epidemic Under Con
troll at Platteville

1t would appear now as though
tseee had been some little errors II
The reports from Platteville on. thu
spinal or cerebral meningitis cases.
There were only three deaths from
the disease in the little city, the
other three cases mentioned having
died some distance from the city,
and might as we'll have been credited
to some other town in the county.
The funeral services of Hiram Ste
wart, the first case of the kind to at
tract serious attention, were not held
in Platteville, but at Hillsboro and
the interment was at Windsor. Ste
wart died at Platteville, but only
the pail bearers and undertaken went
10 the house. James Underwood,
nephew of Stewart, and who nursed
the older man during his short sick
ness at Platteville and himself con-
tracted the disease and died few
DAYS after, died IN the west end OF
this county and not in the town OF
Platteville.
Since last Wednesday, when the
two young daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Moffat, of the Plattev1lle
house, died there have been no new
cases developed, and it looks now as
though all of the exposed cases had
been accounted for and the danger
practically over.
The town itself was not put uiloer
quarantine, although the state ooaro
of health was considering such d
step. The hotel at PlatteV1lle'
where the cases in the town ap-
peared, was under quarantine.

SO SAY We ALL
Let Him Rest in Peace Forever
and a Day

Last week the LaSalle Review
fatally dislocated Its reviewing ap-
paratus, and has ceased to review.
Never very robust infant, the cold
winds Of a long winter and the still
more chilly unconcern of an unappre-
ciative advertising clientele proved
too much for its frail constitution
and caused it to close up shop, write
tinis at the end of its uneventful
career and cross over into the bleak
unknown to take up its future abode
in the great realm Of innocuous des-
uetude, while its editor, J. K. NAL
lonee, who so self-sacrificinglv acted
as midwife and wet nurse to the
infantile production of premature
delivery in journalism decamped for
Denver, where he hopes to engage in
a business of which the patrons will
not so insistently demand to be
shown.
''Yes, The Review is gone, and no
doubt in time, like all things mortal.
will be forgotten, but the little
poetic effusion, which stood 50
valiently at the head of the sheet,
has ingrafted itself so indelibly upon
the minds Of those upon whom The
Review inflicted itself that it will
live in memory for some time to
come. The Review Is truly gone,
and If those circulation reports were
true about 1,75O paid up subscribers
are mourning the goneness of their
money. Requiescat in pace"
The above from the Evans Courier,
of which Mr.. Mallonee was once the
so-called editor. is touching, elo-
quent and to the point, and the
writer deserves great credit for the
eulogy. There is just one word mors
that we would like to add. The
man was certainly an artist when 1t
came to feeding prospective adver-
tisers a circulation story. In less
than month he built up circula-
tion larger than that Of the Tribune,
that it has taken thirty-six years Of
hard work to secure. He had no
trouble in convincing merchants OF
his circulation and to draw more lib
really upon them for advertising
than the Greeley papers of legiti-
mate standing, who could prove
every word of theirs in regard to
circulation. But they would rather
accept the word Of a CRATER for 1t.

LUMBER Mill TO
! LOCATE elsewhere
BIG PLANT AT LAST DECIDES TO
SEEK ANOTHER SITE.
Promoters Like HattIesburo, but say
II Would Cost Too Much to Build
a Railroad to Their Timber Hold
inss Capt. jones' OFFER.

The Wausau Southern Lumber Com
pany, which has for several months
been contemplating locating large
mill in Hattiesburg, will not come
here. The officers of the company
preferred Hattiesburg. but because of
the. physical obstacles to overcome in
the way of building railroad to their
timber. they had to abandon the plan.
This matter was finally disposed OF
yesterday, when Mr.. w. H. Bissell,
president of the company, accom-
panied by his son. Mr. Frank Bissell,
and Mr.. Rimer. general manager, Wis
tied the city and had a conference
with officers and members of the Com
mercial Club and other gentlemen who
had acted in the capacity of special
committee to negotiate with the com
pany with view of having them To-
cate their mill here.
The matter has been pending for
several months, and Hattiesburg has
left no stone unturned to secure the
prize, representative citizens having
made special trips to Wausau, Wis,
where Mr.. Bissell lives, to Virginia,
and several trips to LAUREL In their
efforts they had the hearty cooper
alton of Capt. J. T. Jones, of Gulfport,
who generously offered to subscribe
one-half the bonus that was thought to
be necessary to secure the plant, and
a very fiattering sum was pledged
| by the citizens here for the purpose
of bringing this large industry to Hat.
tiesburg. Hence it was through no
fault of the city or its entcrprising
citizens that the plant was not locat-
ed here, but because of insurmounta-
BILE barriers in the way of obstacles
in the building of the railroad from
the city to the pine forests of the COM
Ipany.
Preliminary surveys were made by
the company to test the feasibility of
building the road and Mr.. Bissell sub
mitted to the committee yesterday
protiles showing the result of their
surveys in which it was brought out
that for at least two and " half miles
of the route the grade was as high
as to 2 per cent, and this upgrade
was on the route coming into Hatties
burg, and over this all the logs would
have to be hauled. These and other
obstacles of similar nature, deter
mined the company, after careful con
sideration, to abandon the idea o.
coming here. Mr.. Bissell, however
was loud in his praise of Hattiesbure
and of the splendid spirit of generos
ity and enterprise shown by the people
here, and especially the representa-
tives of the business interests who
had extended him and other officers
of his company every courtesy in as
sisting them in arriving at decision
No decision has yet been reached
as to where the plant will be located
1t will be one of the largest in the
state, and it is a scource of much re
greet that Hattiesburg was unable t.
secure 1t.

Something About Hats.
Hats are more monumental than
ever this season. while they are less
bell-shaped, the trimming is more law
ish, and the increase in size demands
quantities of false hair, or, as It is
called, in Paris. "postiche"
Some of the most shown hats are
bordered with two-inch line Of some
contrasting color at the edge of the
brim and lined with silk or satin.
On the large, expensive ants, kind
of featherIess or wiry aigrette, called
"multiflles,s are used extensively; and
myi the wings, as large as the barn
yard fowls and wave and flap in the
wind as another eccentricity Of the
present day.
And one of the prettiest and most
simple trimmings are the crushed
rosettes of different colored chiffon,
silk velvet or crepe, while the new
hat of soft colors, pale blue, pink, vel
low or white. trimmed with embroid-
cry and "couteaux,' are being extern
sively worn. Then, hats with wreaths
of white or shaded purple or mauve
velvet and taffeta convolvuli, are much
to the fore. while very prominent are
the hats draped with chiffon or paint
ed gauze scarfs.
Cream flannel hats for the little
little tots are very popular, owing to
thae popularity of.white flannel, suits
These hats are made of pressed fan
mel and come in cream only, the form
is sailor, and is bound with ribbon
similar to that put on mems hats. The
trimmings consist Of bows with a

BAPTISTS AGAINST
ANTISAL00N FIGHT
Association Adopts Resolutions
Agreeing Church Has No
Business IN CruSadeS.

Members of the st Louis Bap-
tist Association, at it's eighty
eighth annual meeting, which
convened yesterday at the Third
Baptist church in St Louis. after
hearing a sharp discussion on the
saloon question, elected Doctor
w. G. Tyzzer moderator.
A lively tilt was given to the
report on temperance presented
by Howard Coldwell, when he
said that while It was proper for
the church to give expression
against the liquor traffic, in his
opinion it was not the business
of the church to devote itself to
the antisaloon business.
The Rev. A. w. Claxon took
the stand that it was primarily
the business of the church to
take entire charge of these mat
ters, and that there was no rea-
son for the existence of anti-sa-
loon leagues and law enforce
ment bodies and w. C. T. US.
The report of Mr.. Coldwell was
adopted.

Skeleton Of Traveller to Be Noun.
ted at Washington and Lee.

The skeleton of General Robt,
E. Lees famous warhorse, Trav-
eler, has been mounted and will
be set up at Washington and Lee
University. The bones were
preserved at Washington and
Lee until a few months ago,
when they were sent to Roches-
ter, N. Y, to be mounted, the
expense to be betrayed by Mr..
Joseph Bryant of Richmond.
Traveller was one of the most
noted war horses of history. He
was a fine specimen of Gray Ea.
gle stock, and was a great fa-
vorite with his master. He came
into the possession of General
Lee early in 1862. At first he
was used as an extra horse, but
his indomitable pluck and splen-
did qualities so appealed to Gen.
Lee that he was used almost con-
stantly. He bore his owner from
Appomattox to Richmond after
the surrender.
When Gen. Lee came to Lex
ington in 1865, to accept the
presidency Of Washington Col
lege, he rode Traveller, and the
faithful animal was his riding
horse until the death of General
Lee. Many times did the old
Confederate chieftan ride over
the beautiful hills surrounding
Lexington on the back of his pa
tient old horse. Traveller died in
June following the death of his
master. Gen. Lee died in Octo-
ber, 1870. The old horse, while
grazing in the yard Of the Pres
ident's house, on the campus Of
Washington and Lee, ran a nail
in his foot, which resulted in
lockjaw, and this caused his
death.
The body was buried, and long
afterwards the bones were taken
up and preserved at the Univer-
sity, and now they have been re-
turned, and will occupy an i'm
portant place in the University
Museum.

"Rajah of Bhong."

The company presenting the
"Rajah of Bhong" contains many
we'll known funmakers and vo-
calists, and no better vehicle for
their efforts to entertain could
have been secured. The comedy
element predominates the action
of the piece from beginning to
end, and as every male member
of the cast is a comedian, fun,
fast and furious is the result.
"a laugh in every line" is not
an exageration in this instance,
but the humor is natural and en-
tirely free from coarseness which
mars productions Of the musical
comedy class. The female con-
tingent is made up of pretty
girls who know how to sing and
dance. Their costumes are gor-
geous in the extreme, and the
management claims the entire
show to be unsurpassed by any
travelling organization. At the
