The revised covenant of the league

These amendments cover the Mon

French amendment for este blishment

essary for any nation to give two
years notice.
The form of covenant was changed
somewhat in that provisions for spe-

SLEEPING FLU IN STATE
There Arc Cases at Kisnrct-Victims
Are Recovering Health.

Kismet, March 2S.-"Sleeping flu"
has broken out here. Francis. the s.
year-old daughter of Miller Brown, a
ranchman, living south of Kismet, was
the first to become affected by this
unusual disease. At first her case did
not seem any more serious than those
of her sisters and brother. who were
taken sick about the same time, and
the attending physician, Doctor
Broadly, of Plains, did not expect any
complications After she had been
sick for several days. her parents
realized that they were not able to
arouse her to give medicine. When
the doctor arrived he found her in a
comatoSe condition. She lay there for
four days and medicine was given by
hypodermic injection. Gradually con-
seriousness began to return and she is
almost well again.
The other case. a boy 5 years old
developed the trouble more gradually
but is now convalescent.
