BUBONIC PLAGUE
MAKES ITS APPEARANCE
IN new ORLEANS IN THiCKLY
Settled French Market District.

Two cases Of Ruhonic Plague have
been discovered in New Orleans. and
one death has resulted. Every possible
precaulion is being taken to prevent
the spread of this most dreaded of all
diseases. The cases were discovered in
the headquarters OF the Volunteers of
America, and for six blocks in every
direction from this point armed guards
are maintaining a quarantine. New
York has quaramtined against all vessels
sailing from New Orleans and also
from Santiago Cuba. where the disease
is also said to exist. Hat fleas are said
20 be the carriers for this disease and a
war of determination has started in
New Orleans against the rodents. The
State Government Of Louisiana has APP
propriated $3.50. 900 to aid IN stamping
out the plague, and the state authorities
will be reinforced in their efforts by all
the aid that the Federal government
can give. Surgeon General Rupert
Blue is in New Orleans assisting in the
efforts to rid the city of the disease.

Political writers. especially around
the nationa! capitol, in the absence of
straight goods" often resort to specu-
latI0n, and under the caption of they
say, often say some very interesting
things, oftentimes predicting what at
the time seems prepOsterOus, but never
the-less eventually comes to pass.
Their latest dope is that President
Wilson is tired of his job and will not
be a candidate to succeed himself, and
the wiser Of them are saying that in
the event this prediction should prove
true that Senator Ollie james is gong
to be the strongest contender for the
democratic nomin2tion to succeed 20
the presidency.
All of which is speculation pure and
simple, save the latter part, and that
''our Ollie" would be strong contender
is indeed no speculation. The senior
Senator from Kentucky IS just about
the biggest man in the United States
just now. politically speaking. and in
the event matters should so shape them
selves that the President should con-
clude not to stand for a second term,
he most assuredly woa]d be 1.-THE man"
to have frs call to succeed President
Wilson.

The opening ball which was on the

through the entire season is one of the
finest Orchestras Crab Orchard has ever
been able to furnish, led by Miss Nell
and her assistant Miss Andrews of
Millersburg and Mr.. Bagtage and Mr..
Gribben Mr. and Mrs. Willis have
given their guests this season two new
boats which have beeu christened Ma

The fishing is fine, the swimming pool
is clean and filed every few days with
fresh water.
Those persons wishing season rates
had better write at once as each mail
brings many letters for the next
months accommodations.
Lancaster people certainly appreciate
this new and beautiful summer home
as they come to us in dSoves. Old
Grab Orchard is certainly in the lead
as one of the most desirable summer

Carranza an opportunity to consult
with his subordinates over the matter

tie upon manner and means, of estab-
fishing a Provisional Government in
Mexico.
1t is not known how long it will take
Carranza to hold these consultations.
but the mediators considered his re-
quest a reasonable one, and will adjourn
temporarily in Difference to his wishes.
Rumors continue to gain ground of
fast widening breach between Villa and
Carranza, and if this be true, it is ar
gued that it will materially simplify
matters for the mediators.

BLACK, STICKY,
OBNOXIOUS, ugh!
But The Oiled Streets Do Away With Dust.

The public square as we go to press
is black sticky mass, owing to several
coats of oil having just been applied,
this condition will prevail for several
days, or until it dries, and then it is
good bye to the dust nuisance for the
remainder of the season.
1t is very disagreeable state of af-
fairs. but when we consider the great
good which is to result from the oiling
of the streets, we can well afford to
put up with the discomfort for short
time, so let US be patient.

DECLINE OF GOOD READING

Convention Would Seem to Be

The central importance of reading
was the theme OF much Of the discus

National Educational association at
Salt Lake City. Mr.. Rice, state IL
brary clerk of Wisconsin, told how
that state prepares lists OF suitable
books for rural libraries. and offers
the books at 31.7 per cent. discount.
1t also requires teachers to pass an
examination in library training, which
Mr.. Rice considers more important
that algebra. though the comparison
seems odd. Mr.. Caxton, United States
commissioner of education, who fol-
lowed, declared literature the most
important of all school subjects, and
observed that any man who Will read
