PATENT HEROISM OF
LEXINGTON CITIZEN

One is accustomed to look to
fields of battle for examples of
herosism and nobility of charac-
ter, but in our very midst day
after day a person may behold
specimens of herosism equal to
any that was ever fought on the
battle field. The writer has the
pleasure of knowing such an ex-
ample in the person of +. S. Nc
Clelland, who has for years been
a patient in our local hospitals
and also in Chicago, and who has
suffered the loss of both hands
and both feet under the surgeons
knife.
twenty years ago, as bright
eyed handsome youth, budding
into manhood, he occupied the
position as clerk and bookkeeper
for one of LeXington's leading
groceries, but looking for broad
or fields went West where he en-
joyed unusual prosperity. With
out warning he was stricken
down with one of the rarest
nerve diseases known to the med
ical world, which puzzled the
most emin ent surgeons.
Five years of agony on hospi
tai beds and twenty-three opera
tons have left him in his present
state, but with his many handi-
caps he is not idle. Without
hands he has learned to write
perfectly, and with his indomit-
able pluck and energy has pre-
pared to again take up life's bat
tie for a livelihood with a smile.
He has gotten out an up-to-date,
attractive magazine catalogue,
which gives the lowest prices
obtainable on single magazines
or club offers and with great
faith in the native goodness of
mankind, he is confident of yet
occupying a place in the busy
world.
His numerous friends in Lex
ington and throughout the state,
wish him great success in his
work. His own Affections do
not prevent him taking an inter
est in the affairs of others, and

BOARD ISSUES WARN
ING AGAINST SMALLPOX

The State Board of Health
has issued the following warning
against smallpox to the Health
and Fiscal Officials of Kentucky {:
Smallpox has been stamped
out over and over again in every
county in the state in recent
years, but official information is
coming in to the Board almost
daily that the disease has again
appeared in many widely sepa-
rated sections, as it has in adj
joining states, and that, because
of the lack of vaccination, and
of its mildness, the disease
seems so inclined to break over
official control so early in the
cold season as to threaten a
widespread and costly epidemic,
unless the officials, physicians
and people are organized to re-
cognize and meet the danger.
Since January 1893, smallpox
has prevailed more or less ex-
tensively in every county in
Kentucky, with a total of over
$4,000 cases, and 335 deaths,
costing in cash from county and
city treasures, as shown by
official reports, the immense total
sum of $625 $3.50, and an estimat-
ed loss from interferences with
business of $I,5oo,ooo. Judicious-
ly expended, this would be more
than enough to keep every one
of our people vaccinated for a
generation, and as shown by the
experience of Germany and other
perfectly protected countries,
make anything but an imported
case of this disease an impossi-
bility.
In the face of these facts, and
of the conclusion of the scientific
world after full investigation,
that vaccination properly done
on a clean arm with reliable
virus, is a certain preventative
and is free from danger, it is es-
timated that over 40 per cent. of
the people, and in the country
districts of many counties, over
90 per cent. are unprotected from
this loathsome disease. In such
communities, an imported case,

tiles and counties by repetition
of these conditions.
Under existing conditions,
when all have reason to be on
the lookout for first cases or
suspicious symptoms, there is no
longer any excuse for physicians
who fail to recognize and
promptly report the disease. EX-
cept chickenpox, which almost
never occurs in adults, it does
not look like and the symptoms
do not point in anything else.
When unvaccinated grown peo-
pie have an eruption in any COM
munity at this time, they should
be rigid'y isolated until some
competent authority decides that
it is not smallpox. 1t should be
constantly borne in mind, too,
that there are no such diseases

vaccine farms may be relied on
as pure but unless it is kept cool
in transit and in storing, it rap
idly loses its protective value

but inert. For this reason, and

It is unlawful to remain un-
vaccinated at any time, but in
the face of existing conditions
intelligent people should not
wait for the law to force them
to an evident duty. There is
little sentiment against doing
this here, and if the people could
be persuaded of its great impor-

would be free from this disease,

Local business men are already

Local business men are already discussing ways and means of pro- viding funds for keeping the govern ment road open over the summit from the first fall of snow. They realize that if the road is permitted to go for weeks without traffic, at the beginning of the winter, the task of getting it into shape for travel later will be more expensive and difficult. It is probable that the question will be brought to the at- tention of the city council at next meeting in order to bring the matter before the people of Valdez at the earliest possible date.-Valdez Pros pector.

She denied that she had maintained unlawful relations with MT. Cox 'in the territory of Alaska" After the case closed the court ruled that there had been sufficient evidence to hold the defendant and she was ac- cordingly bound over to the grand jury, and bail fixed at $500. Paul Range, of Mccarthy, furnished the required sum in cash and Eva was given her temporary liberty.

The matter was referred to United Upon the advice of friends Mrs. Cox took the next steamer to Cordova. She was met by the deputy marshal and taken before the United States commissioner, where warrants were sworn out for the arrest of the gold seekers. MT. Cox, it seems was
 simply charged with a misdemeanor
 while his companion was charged
 with a felony. A deputy marshal
 was sent from Chitina to Mccarthy
 and found that the couple were
 moving their goods over the trail.
 They were placed under arrest and
 brought to Cordova
 Yesterday afternoon the trial of
 MT. Cox was before jury. He was
 represented by Attorney E. F. Med
 ley. The state did not have an at
 torney and Deputy Marshal Wood
 handled the case as best he knew
 how. Three witnesses testified that
 Mir. Cox represented the woman to
 be his wife, and it was shown that they occupied a room together at
 the hotel for two nights. When Mrs Cox was placed on the stand, Attorney Medley objected to her testifying and cited Section 2259 of the compiled laws of Alaska to sus- Adams ruled that wife could not testify against her husband, and later ruled that letters received by her from him and a letter written by Eva Blake to Mrs. Mcdonald from Ketchikan were not admis- sible. The defendant did not go on the stand, neither did he have any witnesses. The case was rested and Attorney Medley in addressing the jury stated that no one had seen the act charged committed, and that consequently the crime had not been proven. The jury evidently thought this version of the affair was the law and soon after retiring returned a verdict of not guilty.
 Last evening Eva Blake was given a preliminary hearing before the United States commissioner. Prac- tically the same evidence Was brought out, with the additional testimony of Mrs. Cox, who recited her marital relations since last January. MT. Cox was called to the stand and when asked whether he was a married man, refused to answer without consulting his attor- ney, who was not present at the hearing. The judge excused him from answering the question. Eva Blake took the stand and admitted that she roomed with MT. Cox in Cordova, but added that she was his nurse. She then made a statement | that she had formed a partnership | come to Alaska to go to the Chisana to open a road house or restaurant.

In the heart of Alaska lie buried
 many romances and fatalities. With every new rush to gold fields is re- corded heart breakings and trage-
 dies. One of the first in connection with the Chisana strike, involving
 domestic affairs, has just had an
 airing in Cordova, before the United
 States commissioner. The parties
 involved came from Seattle, and from the evidence brought out there is every appearance of a husband
 determined to seek fortune and fame with female companion other than his wife.
 appears that MT. and Mrs. Gilbert
 M. Cox lived together for several years without any more than the
 ordinary disagreements of marital
 existence. Last January Mrs. Cox
 went to the hospital at Seattle and
 there met Eva Blake, who was temporarily employed as a nurse.
 After leaving the institution Mrs. Cox again met the young nurse of but 21 years of age, who was with out position or money. She in- vited her to stay at her home until she could improve her resources, and short time after, having to go again to the hospital Mrs. Cox re- quested her presumed friend to stay and perform the duties of house. keeper for her husband, which she did during the three weeks Mrs. Cox was at the hospital. After she re- turned home MT. Cox and the physi- elan both thought that a visit to Mrs. Cox's mother in Wisconsin would improve the wife's health. She went and during six months stay received Iovng letters from MT. Cox who was employed in the county auditors office. He suggested that the climate of Seattle did not agree with her and that she might better remain away, as he was thinking of going to the gold fields.
 And then she began to receive other letters which suddenly in- duced her to return to Seattle. Mrs. Cox found that her furniture had been sold as we'll as their equity in the house located at A1ki Point. She further learned that but few days earlier her husband and Eva had gone to Alaska, the latter sailing under the name of Mrs. E. B. Dowl- ing, while Cox evaded publicity by securing a second-class ticket. An investigation showed that the two had been living as man and wife with a Mrs. Mcdonald nearly the entire time the real wife was absent. States Marshal Jacoby and he wired north inquiring about MT. Cox, re- ceiving cable from Cordova that G. M. Cox and wife registered at the Windsor hotel on October 4 and departed for Mccarthy on the 6th
