they always do when a contagious
diseas makes its appearance in the
city. While it does not alter the
situation now, we wish to say that
there would be no smallpox IN the
city today had it not been brought
here from outside points. We are
'eliably informed that member of
family which ls now quarantined,
contracted the disease while visiting
in q certain section of the county
where smallpox had existed and
where proper attention had not
been given to fumigation. Another
case which developed was that of Il
lady, who was travelling about the
country and came here from Idaho
Falls.
Upon the statement of the health
officers, the Examiner wishes to as-
sure the people of the county that
they need have no fear about COM
ing to Montpelier to do their usual
trading as there isn't the least sem-
blance of an epidemic of the disease
and but very little likelihood of any
more cases breaking out. All the
homes where cases now exist will be
thoroughly fumigated before the
quarantine ia raised.

NEW BATH HOUSE
NEARLY COMPLETED

Work on the new bath house at
the springs is being rushed with all
possible speed and IL is expected
that it will be thrown open to the
public by the 18th Of August. The
house Is constructed of concrete and
Nhe interior walls are plastered over
metallic laths.
The plunge will be sox5l feet and
vary in depth from to feet. On
he west side of the plunge there
will be Il dressing rooms. There
will also be four private bath rooms
Sxl0 feet, shower bath and a
drinking fountain. Bathing suits
will be kept for hire and the accom-
modations will be strictly first class
in every respect.
We understand that work on the
new hotel will be started as soon az
the bath house is completed, and it
will be ready for occupancy early
next season.
With these improvements com
pleted, the springs should become a
popular resort. In addition TO the
splendid bathing facilities, guests
can enjoy boating on the lake, while
there ls good fishing, for those who
enjoy that sport, within short dis
tance from the springs. In fact, no
where else in the west is there such
varied attractions offered to pleasure

BARNEY'S BANK
BADLY BATTERED
Report Of Temporary Receiver Shows That Big
Bulk of Overdrafts were Unsecured Barney
Owes the Bank About $4,000,

In special dispatch from Wal
lace to the Spokesman Review OF
Spokane, under the date of July 20
information is given concerning the
State Bank of Commerce that will
be of interest to the citizens of the
entire stase. According to the dis
patch, Judge w. w. Woods of the
district court permitted the full and
detailed report af the temporary re-
ceiver, w. 0. plerae, to be placed
on file, in this way throwing it open
to the public and giving the first &C.
curate information concerning the
affairs of the bank. One of the
vitality interesting features of the
report Is that the combined lndebt-
edness of b. f. O'Neil and the Lane
Lumber company to the bank Is
1906, 74o, much Of it unsecured.
Another remarkable feature of
the report is the statement of loans,
discounts and overdrafts, which
shows that of the total of $44s, 200
but 1856, 4S5 was secured. Two Of
the small secured notes were pro-
tected by the presidents name.
Twelve thousand, three hundred and
fifty dollars of the total $50, 4s5 is
classed by the receiver as losses.
This leaves practically 1915, 600 of
unsecured paper.

consists of an overdraft of $l8,SI6
and three notes for a total Of $51,-

NO OCCASION
FOR ALARM

Whenever contagious disease
breaks out in town, especially i'll
one about the size of Montpelier,
the news quickly circulates through
out the county and as it travels the
number OF cases reputed to be in the
town increases until by the time the
report reaches the outlaying SETTLE
ments the cases number about ten
times more than really exist. Such,
we understand, is the situation in
the county regarding the number of
cases of smallpox in Montpelier.
Last week the Examiner did not
mention that there was smallpox in
the city for the reason that we did
not wish to aid in spreading the
news, and would not mention 1t this
week were it not for the fact, az
stated above. that the number OF
cases are being greatly exaggerated.
The facts are there are just four
homes in the city quarantined be-
cause of this disease and the health
officers are taking every precaution
pOssible TO PFsvs6t its spread. 81

Among the others who are listed
among the debtors are George II.

BIG CROWD CELEBRATED
AT PARIS LAST MONDAY
First Passenger Train into the County Seat Car
ried Nearly 1000 People Speeches, Banquet
and Sports Enjoyed by All.

Bulge, Ben Rich, Russell Shep-
herd and others.
The closing number on the pro-
gram was a very pleasing organ
sd 10 by Miss Tillie Price.
The exercises over at the taber-
nhcle, the pioneers of ls63-64, to-
gether with the railroad officials and
other invited guests, assembled at
the First ward meeting house,
where they partook of sumptuous
feast. About $50 people enjoyed
this feature of the day. The menu
included all Of the delicacies of the
season, which were served in ex-
cellent style. At the close of the
feast, DIR. Hayward acting as toast
master, called upon half dozen or
more for toasts and each one re-
sponded in happy vein.
The banquet over, every body
repaired TO the fair grounds to wit
ness the ball game and other sport
ing events. Phe contest on the
diamond was between the Paris and
Fairview teams, which resulted in
a victory for Paris by score of 8
to l.
The celebration closed with
ball at the academy in the evening,
which was attended by several hui .
dred couples.
1t is estimated that there were
fully 5000 people in Paris during
the day and everybody seemed to
enjoy themselves. Some of the
pioneers who were there had not
met each other before for several
years and they spent some happy
moments in talking over old times.
The train made three round trips
from Montpelier aud something
over 5000 people were carried back
and forth during the day, without
the slightest accident happening to
any one. It is said that quite a
number of people from Paris and
vicinity had the pleasure of taking
their first ride on train that day.
While on the whole the celebra-
tion was success, the citizens of
Paris should have made some effort
to have provided accommodations
for the hundreds who did not take
lunches with them. A barbecue,
for instance, would not have added
a great deal to the expense, and it
would have given many an oppor-
tunity to appease their appetites in
a measure, at least.
Then inasmuch as q number of
outsiders were invited to the ban.
quet, it would have been highly ap-
propriate we believe for the CON-
mittee to have invited those busi-
ness men of Montpelier, who fnan-
cially aided in securing the right of
way for the road to Paris. 1t was
no doubt an oversight upon the
part of the committee that an invi
tation was not extended TO these
men.

and Fireman "Bob" Hack in charge

ductor, and was assisted by "Blll"

The train was met at Ovid with
hearty cheers from crowd of 100
or more who we're anxious to ride
into Paris on the first passenger
train.
Arriving at Paris the train, with
its nearly 1000 passengers, was
greeted with music from the Paris
band and cheers from the multitude.
Each side of the street leading from
the depot to the court house was
lined with several hundred boys
and girls, who Joined in the greet

Glacial Relic. Uncovered.

Fort Dodge. March Z. Two mem
bers OF the Mems Club Of Fort Dodge.
Went into the mine OF the Plymouth
Gypsum Company recently for the
purpose OF investigating further the
curious pieces Of wood embedded in
one Of the entries Of the mine.
The wood is not petrified but looks
very much like the wood one sees
floating in the pools Of water in a
forest The wood was discovered
about ninety feet below the surface OF
the earth and beyond doubt it was part
of a glacial drift which passed over
this section OF the country about 100
centuries ago.
The two members of the Mems Club
who investigated the wood are fully
decided that the specimens they found
are the remains of the ancient pine
tree that aourished in Iowa 10000
years ago.
