DOGS DO NOT KNOW
PARALYSIS CAUSE
PRACTICALLY ADMIT THAT THEY
ARE sTuMPED AT MEETING
LAST NIGHT-DIscuss vARi.
Gus THEoRIEs-NoTED PHYsi.
CLAN WILL LECTURE.

Cass county physicians, at their
regular monthly meeting held at the
Commercial club rooms last evening
practically admitted that they are
stumped to the cause of infantile pa
ralysis. Almost every physician in at
tendance reported one or more cases
and the greater part Of the evening
was taken up in an informal discus
sion back and forth as to various
symptoms. etc.
Almost all of the. physicians have a
theory as to the cause of the disease
which has amounted to an epidemic
but none of them would advance a
cause and give it more STABILITY than
their theory.
That germs and the weather play
an important part in the disease and
that there is little if any direct con-
tagion was the opinion Of the most of
the doctors present.
Noted Phys.eian Lecturer.
1t was announced that the meet
ing last night that DR.. McCormamck,
a noted physician lecturer would be in
Fargo to deliver a free public address
on Nov. 4. This lecturer is sent here
under the auspices of the American
Medical association. He will speak
on matters pertaining to public health,
sanitation, etc.
DR.. Mccormack will be in North
Dakota two weeks. He has gained a
national reputation and his coming to
Fargo should be Of great educational
value. Full arrangements for his
lecture are not made but will be an
nounced later.
The meeting was largely attended
and most successful. Those from out
of town present were: DR. Fl. Fish
of Hope, DIR. A. j. Jameson of Wheat
land and DIR. e. e. Wande of Lisbon.

Boy Drowned Near Dalkena

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. q.
Fewel, who reside near Dalkena, was
sadly bereaved last Thursday afternoon,
when their only child was drowned in
the Pend Oreille river: The little fellow
was playing on the river bank near
where his father and some assistants
were at work building fence. and
was engaged in the pastime of throwing
sticks into the water. Not hearing him
for moment his father turned to look
for him, and was Mortified to see his
body floating in the river close to the
bank. He was speedily gotten out, but
attempts to revive him failed. although
he could have been in the water but a
very few minutes.
The body was brought to the Boyer
undertaking parlors in this city FRIDAY
morning and prepared for shipment to
Spokane. Interment was in Fairmont
cemetery, Spokane, on Sept. 4.
Marvin H. Fewel was 3years, months
and 4 days old. The heartfelt sympathy
of the community goes out to the be-
reaved parents. .s

The Name of Our Mountains

The United States geographical board
has lust issued new set OF decisions
which it has just reached regarding the
proper names of various disputed geo.
graphical points. The boards work In
cludes attempts to bring about harmony
in the conflicting spelling or naming OF
rivers, mountains and other geographical
structures CT the United States and its
possessions.
Among the names and spellings given
out as the proper designation of points
in Washington is the following, OF spe-
cial interest in this section:
"Selkirk, mountains in northeastern
Washington and northern Idaho, linn
tied on the west and southwest by Co.
lumbia river from the international
boundary to the mouth of the Spokane
river, thence southwark by edge of Co.
lumbia basalt plateau to vicinity of
southern end of Lake Occur d'Alenes,
and on east to Purcell trench"
1t was on the authority OF this board
that the spelling of the name of our river
was changed from Pend d 'Oreille to Pend
Oreille.

Final Appeal for Exhibits

Stevens county, after spending several
thousand dollars in the effort to make
creditable showing at the Seattle expo
sition, has only partially succeeded In
doing so. That good showing could
have been made of the varied resources
of this vast county there can he no
doubt. That the results have not been
satisfactory is not so much the fault OF
the people in charge of the work as it is
that of the people of the county and the
various commercial bodies that seek to
represent the communities. But little
interest in the exhibit has been shown
by the people of the county.
The fair will close on October Is.
There still remains the best month OF
the fair and some effort should be made
to get before fair visitors creditable
showing.
The east side of the county, in partic-
ular, has been lamentably weak in its
exhibit. Visitors from the east who
have stopped off here have commented
on the fact that there is but little shown
from the Newport district and the east
side. We have passed up an excellent
opportunity to place before the public a
showing of our resources.
An urgent request is made that ranch
ers on the east side send to the fair
samples of their fruit and grain products.
They can be sent direct to G. B. 1de,
Stevens county's representative at the
exposition, who will pay express charges
on them. Or if drought to Lee Berry,
secretary of the Newport Commercial
Club, he will see that they reach the

In Mem0riam

Our home is now SO lonely,
Since Marvin has gone away
To that place so bright and beautiful;
May we meet him there some day.
Though the circle now be broken,
And God the tie did sever,
There comes thought of comfort,
It will not be forever.
His merry noise and laughter
Never more will greet our hearts, 49,
But the echo lives on forever
AS from us he now departs. :
Weep not, dear father, mother,
For the one that's gone above: -
No one can ever measure
The depth of parents love.
We will live to meet dear Marvin
In the happy home above;
Father, mother, sister, brother,
All will clasp their hands in love.
He will meet you at the gateway,
Where no tears are ever she'd;
And extend the hands of welcome
There no farewells will be said =;
