Untruthful Report Spread of
Health Conditions.

For some reason or other, along
about this time of the year, a report
is annually sent abroad of some
kind of an epidemic prevailing III
Emmett. The same thing has hap
pened this year. and the news has
even gone out that the town is quar-
antined. There is absolutely no
foundation for the story The In
dex has carefully investigated and
the nearest approach to an epidem-
is it has been able to locate are two
mild cases of scarlatina, one in the
family Of c. d. Tillinghast, and
the other child of Mr. Allen.
Both cases have been rigidly quar-
antined.
TIL, Index also interviewed DR.,
REYNOLDS, who is deputy county
health officer, with the result that
lie has issued the following state
ment:
"The report that there is an
epidemic of scarlet fever in Emmett
Is not true, and the county
health officers have not declared a
quarantine. There are two very
mild cases of what appears to be
scarlet fever in town and the fam
lilies to which the patients belong |
are under rigid quarantine. ! do
not consider there is the slightest |
danger of the disease. -
"Dr. J. l.. Reynolds"
The usual Christmas gatherings |
and festivities will take place, and
no ban will be placed on any enter
tainments. Now for goodness
sakes, let up on this contagious
disease nightmare. We have
trouble enough with the motor car,
which has failed to show up for
two days, and it is feared the ma
chine has bad case of nervous
prostration or a severe attack of Jim
jams. so don't add to our ANXIETY
by sprinigng another quarantine
story.

TILLMAN, THE BLACKBOARD.
COmrade l.. u. Raymond Gives Him /:
Deserved ScOrching.
Editorial in the Hampton, Iowa, Ban
ner.)


Senator Tillman gave his TRADE on
the negro question at the Des Moines
Chautauqua a week ago Sunday after
noon. 1t was as outrageous a perform
ance as ever occurred in the State of
Iowa. Tillman's statement that the
negro is not and never can be equal to
the white man may be his honest opin-
ion. AS long as he discusses the ques-
ton temperately and confines himself
to facts he is entitled to respectful
hearing. But when he transgresses all
the bounds of decency. advises law
breaking and justifies murder and mob
rule. he forfeits all right to be heard
by decent people. Among other things
he said in his Des Moines TRADE was
that the citizens of the North amalga-
mated with the negro to the full extent
Of their opportunities, and that the
track of the route of Sherman's march
to the sea could be traced on after
years by the mulattoes born after the
soldiers passed that way.
Who is this man Tillman who talks
about ''amalgamating" with negros !:
Who is he who blackguards Union SOL
dierS for alleged association with col
ored women? If of the slaveholding
family of South Carolina. the probabili-
ty is that he has, or has had. if his
father did not sell them off before the
war, half-brothers and sisters of part
negro blood. If slave owner before
the war, it is safe to say that he co.
habited with dirty, greasy thick-lipped
negro women. If he had any property
left to him upon arriving at his major
ity it is more than probable that it was
largely the proceeds of the labor and
sweat of these people whose chief mis-
fortune was their color and who to:!ed
that Tillman and his forbears might
accumulate. The chances are dollars
to doughnuts that in the vicinity of
Tillman's home there are persons of
mixed blood who owe their paternity
to him. Talk about the "amalgamat-
ing of Northern people with the negro
race! Why, in Tillman's section it is
the fashion: here In the North 1t brings
disgrace. And Tillman and his kind
evidently feel deprived of their rights,
because they can no longer sell their
half-brothers, or their illegitimate chill
dren or force them to labor for them
without recompense.
Who is Tillman that he comes here
and assumes to teach law-abiding citf-
zens their duty? Less than five years
ago he countenanced and upheld cold :.
blooded murder Of white man, by all
accounts better thar himself, the muir
der being committed by his brother.

seasons has made him known to thou
sands of notables-more than he could
have otherwise met in the ordinary
career of young officer-was born in
1881, reared in New York and vicinity
and then went abroad with his parents
and lived in Vienna while his father
