ODD FACTS ABOUT CHOLERA
Superstition Has Added to Rava9es of
Dread Disease-How Rocks
Were Affected.

/ Cholera has usually found a use
full ally in superstition In the old days
the disease was believed to lie bottled
| up in volcanoes and to be released by
eruptions. The most effectual way to
avoid it was to sleep in bed with your
head due south. In Russia during the
terrible epidemics six years ago the
peasants would not trust the doctors.
whom they actually accused of caus-
ing the disease, but drank a fearful
mixture of tar, resin and petroleum as
preventives, and fired guns from the
doors and windows to scare the chol-
era away. What spreads the disease
along the caravan routes of Asia is
the habit of washing dirty clothes in
the drinking wells.
Rocks were the birds whose conduct
in connection with the cholera was OBJ
served in Ireland in 1882. According
to the contemporary Dublin Morning
Register, Immediately the cholera
came all the birds vanished from the
rookery in the Marquis of Sligo's de-
mesne, one of the largest in Ireland
For three weeks, during which the
disease ragged violently, these noisy
tenants OF the trees completely desert
ed their lofty habitations. In the mean
time the revenue police found immense
numbers of them lying dead upon the
shore near Erris, about ten miles dis
amt. Upon the decline of the malady,
within the last few days, several OF
he old birds have again appeared in
he neighborhood of the rookery, but
ome Of them seemed unable, through
to reach their nests"

DIARY WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN
DOROTHY ARNOLD'S FOUND

Los Angeles, CAL, Jan. 2.-Rumors
that Dorothy Arnold, the New York
heiress who disappeared in 1910, is
in this city were revived today by the
finding of a diary which may have
belonged to her. It is a chronicle of

on the coast of China and contains
comments upon the life there of I'M

The diary also makes reference to

that family. Several letters were

School Election.

Editor Caldwell Tribune:
| note in the Central Cove items last
week that the writer refers to the
school election as if he, she, or il.
were exulting over the achievements
of that election and this writer deems
1t exDedient that your readers know
something of those achievements and
the methods used to bring them about.
In the first place they turned down
the men who had done more for the
diStr ct than ANYBODY in it, in the wav
of giving and building roads, giving
of their money. time and labor to
build and beautify the schoolhouse
and grounds, and in every other good
work that has been done in district
And they elevated men who have done
practically nothing for the good of
the district; one Of whom was an
hen who seems to have little regard
for the laws of either man or God
stavi1g at home working every dav
and Sunday too, rarely ever having
time to help in anything for the public
good. Talk about public spirited menl
AS to the means they used to ac-
complish these ends; well, thev voted
minors and aliens, and by clandestine
electioneerlng thev got ort all the
voters that never take any interest IN
public matters. But this scribe does
not know the influence that was used
to get them out; whether it was the
promise OF early peaches. or some of
the cash thev would bring on the
market; or whether it was bv the
power and influence of hypnotism
But the fact remains that thew were
there and voted. If am not mistaken
there are men in some Of the eastern
states serving terms in the pententiarv
for similar election frauds. And the
good" church people were the ring
leaders in this tragedy. If this IS
something to gloat over, S. R. p is
welcome to it. To us who are on
the outside, it seems that the church
reople are responsible for this

sanctifed people tell us that where
