The remarks made by DR., Stephens
colored. at the meeting of the Boar'
of Mayor and Aldermen Thursda!
night, have been misconstrued b!
some of the very people DIR. Stephens
is generously trying to help, and ar
effort is being made in some quarters
to use the incident against DIR. Steph
ems in his practice. The argument
made at the Board meeting was sound
and sensible, and the theory advanced
that the germs of consumption can
be communicated and spread from one
person to another by contact or as
ISOLATION, is the theory held by the
most advanced physicians everywhere.
A person living in a house where
there has been case of consumption
or a death from consumption and the
house has not afterwards been thor
oughly fumigated, Is not only in danger
of contracting the disease personally.
but is also menace to every other
person he or she comes in contact
with. This is especially true of
nurses, who having accumulated the
disease germs in their clothing, have
the handling of little children and are
likely to cause the children to con-
tract this most fearful of all diseases.
DIR. Stephens is doing good work, of
benefit to both white and colored, and |
he deserves to be given every assis-
lance. His efforts in behalf OF his
own race, and his offer OF his
service gratis. in this particular work,
should win the gratitude Of his peo-
pie rather than excite their criti.
,ism or prejudice, However, this is
he common fate OF the philanthropist
ind the reformer; the very ones they
wish to help are the very ones who
efuse to be helped. "

An expert, writing in the Indianap.

An expert, writing in the Indianap
oils News, says that except in cases
of accident every lame horse may
charge his lameness to the man who
fits his shoe" He says that the ma.
jority of farriers and horse-shoers are
both ignorant and reckless in their
treatment of horses feet and the fit
ting of their shoes, and that horses
suffer from such treatment just as
human beings would. This is a sug-
gestion that will be appreciated by
humane people who are eager to re-
lieve the all too hard 1t of our most
useful domestic animal and by those
who, if they are without such senti-
ment, are doubtless to be appealed to
on the ground of the greater useful
ness of these servants. A law re-
quiring certain proficiency in horse
shoers and providing for supervision
of their work might well have place
among our enforced statutes.

With the passing of Senator Nor
gan, of Alabama, there passes from
the public service of his country, q
grand old man; a typical son of the
Old South; honest, courageous, incor.
ruptible, undefiled whose courtesy
and culture, marked him as one apart
from the gross-grained adventures
who sat in purchased seats by his
side; whose modest fortune, compared
with the questionable wealth of some,
was badge of honor; whose unsullied
reputation, whose spotless character,
whose fear of wrong, whose fealty to
truth, shine upon the records of his
country and the pages of his life's
luminous and bright. He
sprang from the loins of the old
South, the mother OF great men, and
worthily wore the honors she con-
ferred upon him.

COLUMBIA POST
OFFICE BUILDING
rs NEAR THE FIRST OF THE LIST
AND WORK WILL PROBABLY
BEGIN IN THE EARLY
FALL.
Congressman Padgett Does Good
Work In Washington And Ar
ranges a Number Of Things
Of Benefit To His
District.

| Congressman Padgett, who reached
home this morning from Washington,
brings an encouraging report regard
ing the Columbia post office build
ing. Mr.. Padgett saw the supervis-
ing architect in the Treasury Depart
ment and was told that the Columbia
building is twenty-ninth on the list of
public buildings provided for in the
| last Omnibus Bill. There were over
$50 buildings provided for in this bill,
either for construction outright or for
additions and Improvements, and the
fact that Columbia is only twenty
ninth shows that work here cannot
be delayed very long. The supervis-
ing architect informed Mr. Padgett
that plans were drawn and contracts
let for these public buildings in the
order in which they appear on the |
list and that plans were already being |
prepared for number of those COM
ing near the first of the list He /
thought that work would begin on the
local building in the early fall
Mr.. Padgett looked after number
of public matters while on this trip
and also after some private matters
for his constituents. He looked
further into the survey of Duck river
from the mouth up as far as Centre
Vile with view of securing an appro-
Driation and having it cleared of deb
lis and made navigable that far up
An appropriation has already been
made for the preliminary investiga-
ion and survey, and while these mat
ers are brought about slowly, Mr.
oadgett Isl confident that the little
liver will be eventually made naviga-
lie to Centreville and will afford wa
er transportation and cheap outlet
or large and constantly increasing
olume of freight. The river is al
eady navigated by small steam boats 8
p as far as Only in Hickman county. y
Mr.. Padgett saw Secretary Of The
griculture Wilson and arranged for c
he sending of a number of Govern
lent Experts into the Seventh Conf
ressional district to lecture to the
lrmers on scientific agriculture and II
'ad building. These experts will ex- q
nine and analyze the soils of the X
irious counties and tell what prop-
ties they need for increased crops.
hey will tell something of the prop-I
ties of the various fertilizers, will til
plain the proper preparation of the pt
il for different crops and will prove va
great benefit, if the farmers will ar
ly turn out and hear them. Mr..

Before the run" a terrible crush
clsued. The advance registry was
over 10000, but more than 100000
men were in the Cherokee outlet by
afternoon of the opening day, Sun
day. September H. 1898.
Ten thousand men camped that
night on a single tOwnsite. Sucn
armies were massed along the borders
as might have caused tho ghost of
Oklahoma Payne to rise. Twenty
thousand camp fires on Saturday
night glowed along the edge of the
old Indian hunting trail to the "buffa-
10 plains OF forgotten memory. More
than $4,000 men were massed along
the southern line OF the strip alone,
and all the land office towns in Kan
sas were packed with seething crowds
for days An endless line of men
waited in procession back of the reg
istry windows. A man paid s5 five
different times for advances in his
place IN the registry line, and at last
got within few PAGES of the window,
after days of waiting. Worn out by
exhaustion he dropped dead in the
line The suffering Of all these thous-
ands was extreme. The thermometer
stood 100 degrees in the shade.
Water was 10c a glass and bread SOC
q loaf. Force was the real
law.
"Sooners" were at their work for
days in advance, although now the
guard was strict. At the start
"sooner ran across the line before the
gun. 4 soldier ordered him to halt,
but he went on, and the soldier killed
him. The mans partner killed the
soldier. Then came the starting gun,
and wild mobs swept over both
corpses and the matter was forgotten.
In quarrels along the line before the
start three men were shot. Nineteen
men fell in the line, prostrated by the
heat. and three died. One young wom-
an went StdIh Hldu, an dNNluth'dl oio'
killed one man in the waiting line and
many were 50 accidentally wounded,
for most were armed.
At one locality, on the north line,
the crowd was more than 800 yards
deep In packed, struggling, cursing
humanity, and II reached east and
west as far as the ey' could see. A
horse was worth 800 II It could
stand up. Some ran the race with
two horses tied together, shifting
from time to time.
An army OF over 100000 started in
the vast. panic-stricken. motley herd
that Sunday afternoon in September,
and roared away, scattering vaguely
in the dis tance. 1t left behind II many
dead bodies OF horses, and some OF
men and women.
