CLASS ANT WITH FLY

Pests Are Equally Active In Carrying
Disease Germs Experiments In
Panama Canal Zone Have Sub
stantiated Theories.

No suspicion until lately has arisen
that the industrious ant might upon
occasion act as the transmitting agent
OF infection to man. says the London
Lancet. 1t was known that some spe-
cies, such as the white ant, has very
destructive tendencies in certain parts
OF the tropics and that the bites OF
some large tropical ants caused
good deal of general disturbance, be-
ing attended with faintness and shiv-
ering and sometimes with temporary
paralysis. 1t was also known that
some savage races used the dried
bodies OF ants, beaten into a paste, as
an arrow poison. but 1t Is only OF late
that suggestion has been made that
this Insect might convey pathogenic
bacteria to man. The ant is COM
monty found in and around the dwell
ings OF people residing in the tropics.
1t is indeed, a matter OF difficulty to
keep this Insect away from foodstuffs
In such houses. and 1t is equally diff
cult to keep the ant away from hu-
man dejecta when these are not prop
erly disposed of. So that It cannot be
doubted that the ant has the opportu-
nifty OF carrying from infected excreta
the specific organisms OF disease to
the food stored in human dwellings.

IN MEMoRIAM.

Stephen Carr, the subject of this
sketch, passed to the great beyond
on last Friday, the oath, after a few
days illness. Uncle Steve. as he
was familiarly called, came to what
was then Pamela county, Chickasaw
Nation. in 1873, just forty-one years
ago. He was born in Illinois, in
1852, came west in early life, has
spent most of his time in what is
now the southern portion of Bryan
county near Yuba. Perhaps no one
in this part Of the county was better
known, had more friends and fewer
enemies, than Unce Steve. Liberal
to fault, his heart and purse were
always open to every worthy enter
prise in his community. This writ
er knew him since 1877, and was
always proud to be his friend. He
leaves one daughter, Mrs. Ben Bar
ker of Yuba, to mourn his loss. He
was never church worker, yet he
had all the essentials that it takes
to make a good man, rugged hon.
esty and sterling integrity. We do
not bid an eternal farewell to our
friend, nor can we so long as the
rainbow of hope spans the grave. We
desire to extend our heartfelt sympa-
thies to his bereaved relatives In
this, thier dark hour of trouble.

II shall favor an amendment to

IL is desired by the people, to COM
bine the jurisdiction of the county
court with that of the district court.
By this means in portions of the
state where litigation and court
business is of little magnitude all
the court jurisdiction may be lodged
in one court. Thus the court ex-
penses may be greatly reduced"
In many counties of the state this
can be effected and thousands of
dollars saved. Judge Williams has
given all such matters careful con-

statehood has brought to his mind
such matters. and his naturally in
itiative mind has constructed plans,

as the train was stopped about three
miles out of Kenefick, he allowed
himself to be lead to the platform
and forced off of the train, whence
he hoofed it back to Kenefick and
returned to Durant next day.
The roads are in the habit of
charging an excess rate for cash
fares paid on the train, with the
idea of forcing all patrons to buy
tickets, and at many places and on
many roads the brakeman will not
allow travellers to board the train
without tickets.
County Attorney filed a charge of
assault and battery against the con-
ductor, and Mr.. Gates will soon file
a suit for damages in the district
court against the company.
