1 city meeting, was widened Saturday i night when the two had words on ! Main street. Mir. Simons had been 1 making announcements from an auto mobile at the curb concerning the
 meeting scheduled for the next day. Since hc had taken no permit from the police. Chief Rawlings accosted
 him and ordered that the breach of
 the peace be stopped at once. Simons
 car was driven to the opposite side of Main street. where he again opened his tirade against city officials. He was warned by the chief against further disturbance so he discontinued his address and moved along.
 Couldn't Hang Banners.
 Later in the day Chief Rawlings notified the Taxpayers association head that banners such as were ported to be in the process of ma king would not be permitted to be hung in the theater during the meeting yesterday. The banners drew con- parisons between Abraham Lincoln and Mayor Curtis and portrayed simi larities between Lawyer NJ. 4. Sex ton and Bismarck. The printed mat ter and the comparisons were said to he of too dcfamatory nature to permit of their hanging, the chief explained. Simons insisted that he had right to place the strips in the thcater and announced that he would do so in spite of the chiefs orders. However. the signs were not in evil dence when the meeting opened.
 Mir. Simons further objected to a decision of the chief that police pro- lection at the theater was advisable. He informed the chief that he would personally police the theater and would see that undesirables. includ- 1 ing members of the police department | were kept out. Chief Rawlings ap- 1 was not assured that order 1 eral squads of patrolmen to the | theater where they remained ! the meeting.

SCIENCE TO WAGE
 WAR ON DISEASES
Particular Attention Paid to
 Sleeping Sickness

New York. March 14.-Health au- thoritiea in New York and other cities along the Atlantic coast. are making strong efforts to cope with the disease Of sleeping sickness or en- cephaIitis iethargica which is report cd as unusually prevalent this year. While stating that the malady should not cause public alarm. tho medical heads have warned that 1t should not bo under estimated.
 As an evidence of the renewed sweep of tho peculiar epidemic. re- ports for the first seven weeks of 1921 indicate moro than 21s cases in New York city of which 25 per cent were fatal. During 1920. a total of 500 cases wero reported in this city with the death toll comparatively small.
 The most important step taken in tho war on the disease was the move in several states in making sleeping sickness rcportablc. This has been done in Massachusetts and New York. In New York several health officials admit they arc up against a bafrling
 Various versions as to tho source and ravaEcs of the disease have been offered. Health Commissioner Cope land. of New York. believes tho dis ease is not contagious in the ordinary sense.
 This Is proved" he adds. "by the fact that out of the total number of cases reported last year in New York city, only in two instances was n sec- ond case reported where one pre- viously had been found" The com missioner pointed out. however. that Inc majority of cases were reported on tho lower East Side. indicating sleeping sickness might have resulted from congcsted living quarters.
 pr. Simon Flexner. in clinical paper recently traced tho origin of Inc disease in this country to 191S- ls. He continued:
 'Tt is possible to trace cases of othargic or epidemic encephalitis now arising in this country to an out break which occurred in Vienna and neighboring parts of Austria in the winter of 1916. Cases occurred fin England and France in the early months of 1918 and in America in he following year. In Austria the ,nrly cases we're ascrfbed to sausage poisoning. in England to botuIism 'rising from various foods. This cr- Tor is not remarkable. Both coun- ries were laboring under an un- orecedented condition Of food short tEe.
 ultimately in both countries tho ! notion of food origin became unten- Ible. and the disease was recogniz- d as arising independently of dict md other usual conditions of life. | md camo to he viewed as probably of | nicrohic origin and of communica ble | nature | The outstanding feature is the Ieth- 'rgy. which Is progressing in char 'cter and present in the majority of | 'ases tsO per cent?).

 We Need a Bridge
The McCarthy weekly news., 1921-08-06
FROM WASHINGTON to
 MCCARTHY DIRECT

Business, first, last and all the time, is the chief character istic of the newly appointed Gov. ernor of Alaska, who paid us high compliment last Wednesday by sparing three hours of his valuable time for a visit to this little town while touring this Division.
 This is the first time that such an honor has been shown us, and it is difficult to realize that here is a man.. who has come direct from the President, leav- ing him less than two months ago, and is making personal tour of Alaska, his object being to come in close touch with the people, and no hamlet is too small to visit.
 Surely we have reason to feel that brighter day has dawned now that the high executives are taking an interest, and perhaps some of our dreams of the open ing upo of our wonderful country will materialize.
 The News will con tinue to en- deavOr to assist in that material. ization and it may be, that, as in the fable of the Lion and the Mouse "small means often help to accomplish great things.
