The last weeks copy of the Mandan,

The deceased came here a week ago
Monday with her husband to visit
with relatives while Mr.. Arnoldy car
ed for interests on a farm he owns
ten miles north of Mandan. She be-
came ill soon after arriving and her
condition required moving her to a
hospital to receive treatment but all
that medical aid could do was with
out effect.
Deceased was so years of age and
lived in the Mandan country for twen-
ty years, and moved with her husband
to Montana three years ago. She re-

GLASGOW IN BATTLE
AGAINST SPANISH FLU
HEALTH DEPARTMENT THERE ARE ONLY
FEW CASES HERE AND NO DEATHS
HAVE RESULTED.

Glasgow is cleaning house of all
Spanish influenza germs this week,
and as the result of the early meas
ures adopted by the local board of
health there are only about eight cases
in the city, and none of them show
any indications of becoming serious.
Schools were closed early in the
week and parents have been instructed
to keep the children at home. The
Orpheum was closed and the pool
halls and bars are observing the same
rules. No church services are to be
held next Sunday and no social events
of any kind are to take place until
further orders are issued by the To-
cal health officer, DR.. J. C. Simp-
kins.
Influenza is a crowd disease and
if we keep out of crowds as much as
possible there is no special danger if
proper care is taken in regard to the
general health.
The disease resembles very con-
tagious kind of "cold" accompanied
by fever, pains in the head, eyes, ears,
back or other parts of the body, and
feeling of severe sickness. In most
of the cases the symptoms disappear
after three or four days, the patient
then rapidly recovering; some of the
patients, however, develop pneumon-
ia, or inflammation of the ear, or
meningitis, and many of these COM
plicated cases die. Whether this So
called Spanish" influenza is identi-
cal with the epidemics of influenza

VALLEY AHEAD
ON LOAN QUOTA
Loyal Citizens Put the County
Over the Top in Fine
Style.
S102,35O REPORTED UP TO DATE
This Is One of Few Sections Where
the Required Amount Was SUBJ
scribed in Record Time.

Valley county again has made
bowling success of raising her requir-
ed amount of funds to help win the
war. Although word comes from
Washington saying "the Fourth Lib
erty loan may NOT reach the de-
sired goal within the allotted time,"
the people of this part of the country
have more than made good in SUBJ
scribing their allotment as $1O2,35O
had been reported at Chairman
Moore's office by noon yesterday, $27,-
$50 over the quota assigned to the
county.
Prompted by unfavorable reports
of the last few days many Liberty
loan organizations throughout the
country have adopted the slogan,
"Double the third" as campaign
cry. All newspapers have been urged
to tell their readers that the basis
for subscriptions to the fourth loan
should be the third loan subscription
multiplied by two.
Officials are puzzled over the sit
uation, shown by their reports. In
spite of the most favorable accounts
of local achievements coming from
all parts of the country to Washing
ton, discouraging totals are shown in
the subscriptions cleared through the
federal reserve banks. Compared
with the third loan at the same per-
iod, the fourth is behind in actual
money returns.
In this county most of the larger
towns have sent in their reports. Word
has not come yet from Baylor, Avon
dale, Grain and other North Country
postoffices. Most of the districts have
oversubscribed their quotas but some
are yet tagging behind. The reports
that are in Mr.. Moore's office up to
date are as follows:

of earlier years is not yet known.
Epidemics of influenza have visited
this country since 1647. 1t is interest
ing to know that this first epidemic
was brought here from Valencia,
Since that time there have been nu-
merous epidemics of the disease. In
1889 and 1890 an epidemic of influ-
enza, starting somewhere in the Or
lent, spread first to Russia, and thence
over practically the entire civilized
world. Three years later there was
another flare-up of the disease. Both
times the epidemic spread widely over
the United States.
Although the present epidemic is
called Spanish Influenza" there is
no reason to believe that it originated
in Spain. Some writer's who have
studied the question Believe that the
epidemic came from the Orient and
they call attention to the fact that
the Germans mention the disease as
occurring along the eastern front in
the summer and fall of 1917.
DR.. Simpkins gives the following
rules to follow in guarding against
the disease:
/. All colds, however slight, should
be treated as a possible attack of
influenza. Patients affected by colds
should stay at home and sterilize dis
charges from the nose and throat.
2. Avoid feeling fear or spreading
fear of the disease.
8. Avoid crowds.

R. E. O'KEEFE
IS DISBARRED
Supreme Court Holds CHARGES
of Perjury Against Chi
nook Man Sustained.
EKYL-HYDE POLICY INCONSISTENT
Chief Justice Observes That q Man
Cannot BE Dishonest as an In
dividual and Honest as
Lawyer.

The disbarment case against r. E.
O'Keefe of Chinook which has arous-
ed considerable interest in this coun-
ty came to an end Monday. The Mon
tana Record-Herald gives the follow
ing account of the disbarment pro-
ceedings:
"A man cannot be dishonest as an
individual and at the same time hon.
est as lawyer" commented the su-
preme court in a decision Monday
written by Chief Justice Theodore
Brantly, disbarring R. E. O'Keefe of
Chinook, and ordering that his name
be stricken from the roll of attorneys
in Montana. Several years ago dis
barment proceedings were instituted
against O'Keefe on other grounds than
those on which he has been disbarred,
but were dismissed. O'Keefe was a
candidate for the nomination Of Judge
in his district at the recent primary,
but was defeated.
Qualifications Necessary.
The court continues: "A character
for honest and integrity is as neces-
sary to justify his retention of the
privilege Ito practice law as it was
to acquire it in the first place; and
when his conduct is such that he has
forfeited his right to the confidence
of the public, he has forfeited his
right to the privilege also.
ut is not possible to distinguish be-
tween the man as an individual and a
man as lawyer; and when he
reaches the point where he is ready,
as witness, knowingly and wilfully
to aid litigant to establish baseless
claim, he is no longer worthy to be a
member of the honorable profession
to which he belongs"
The proceedings for O'Keefe's dis
barment were instituted by Attorney
General Ford in December of last year,
and referred by the court to Chad
Spaulding of this city for the purpose
of taking the testimony and making
findings of fact and conclusions of
law. To bring the matter to a point
where it was finally submitted to the
court for its decision, two hearings
were necessary at Chinook. The ref
cree found that the charge was SUBJ
stantiated and recommended disbar-
ment.
Guilty of Perjury.
The charge made against O'Keefe
had it's origin in the trial of the d.
