We are considering the nature and

The question or rejoinder that

"Well. then, II there's no such

For all the speed the earth
makes in at least three directions,
it is surprising how many people
ON it never move a bit.
At least two of every three cases
of peptic (stomach, gastric or duo

formation that Mr.. Tyson is the unan-
imous choice of the board of directors
for the position of field secretary of
the western division which comprises
the states of Montana, Idaho, Wash
ington and Oregon.
Mr.. Hauke's letter states that if
agreeable Mr.. Tyson is to take charge
of the work at once. Mr.. Tyson states
that he has decided to accept the Of
fer and will assume the duties as soon
as he can arrange with the directors
OF the club to accept his resignation.
The position is one of Importance and
carries with it cast amount of work
as none of the states west of Montana
have been organized

gret to lose Mr. Tyson as secretary
but realize that he is fully justified
in accepting the new offer as it takes

TWO RANCHERS
FACING DEATH
Frank E. Morris and Roy Smart at
DeacOness Hospital With Virulent
Spotted Fever.

Roy Smart and Frank E. Morris,
two ranchers in the prime of life and
full vigor of manhood, lie in the Dea
coness hospital facing almost certain
death, from the bite of the Spotted
Fever tick The men are patients of
DR.. Simpkins and were brought in the
latter part of the week. Their home
is about forty-five miles south of
Glasgow.
Thursday DR.. Simpkins reported
their condition as fairly satisfactory.
The progress of the disease is slow and
definite report can not be made for
some days.
DIR. M. A. Hoyt, county health Off
Ger, when asked regarding the devel-
opment of this affliction so near Glas-
gov, talked interestingly on the SUBJ
ject and showed perfect familiarity
with the history and progress of the
disease and it's treatment, some of
which is of value to the public. This
is the first case ever known so near
to Valley county. The fever is caused
by the bite of wood tick, and as the
two men named slept together, it is
possible that there was but one in
fected tick. These vermin are of two
varieties, the "Bitterroot" strain, the
bite of which is fatal, and the Idaho"
strain, infection from which only
causes from so to 30 per cent of
deaths.
DR.. Hoyt was unable to determine
the variety of the bug that inflicted
the bites in question, and called in DR..
Hitchcock, state bacterologist, who
was here Sunday and took blood sam
pies, which will be analyzed and from
which it is hoped by comparison, at
the state laboratories, to tell which
strain caused the infection, when the
chances for the recovery of the pa
tlents can be estimated. The infected
ticks are found only in certain timber
ed sections of the northwest, and the
government has done its utmost to
define its character, and devise
specific with which to combat it. The
man who discovered the tick died from
its bite as have other government men
since, though some bitten by the Idaho
tick have recovered. There is now a
man operating for the government in
the Bitterroot, and another in gather
ing specimens of ticks in the locality
where the men in question were in
fected.

LADY MINISTER
DULY ORDAINED
Impressive Ceremony Installs Miss
Dickinson and Council Transacts
Other Business.

Miss Rhoda Jane Dickinson was duly
ordained Tuesday evening at the Con-
gergational church. The Ecclesiastical
Council composed of DR.. G. j. Powell
State Superintendent of Congrega-
tional Missions, Rev. E. w. Savage of
Plentywood, Rev. Franklin Estabrook
Denver, Colorado, Rev. Frank Henry
of Great Falls, Rev. E. H. johnson of
Billings and Rev. We're Loper, minister
of the First Congregational church of
Great Falls, had met in the afternoon
and after an examination preparatory
to ordination, had declared the candi-
date ready for ordination.
The service was very impressive and
inspiring. DR.. Powell presided, and
after the singing of an anthem, Men
delssohn's 20 For the Wings of a
Dove" by the chorus choir, the Eccles-
iastical Council took their places upon
the platform. Rev. Loper preached
the ordination sermon, having as his
subject, "The Contagion of Religion"
Mr.. Loper is a young man of great
ability and it was privilege to hear
him speak. After the sermon, Rev.
Estabrook gave the ordination prayer
while Miss Dickinson knelt and the
members of the Council placing their
hands upon her head, declared her or
dained to the Christian ministry. DR..
Powell gave the charge to the candi-
date, and Rev. Henry the Right Hand
of Fellowship. They both showed by
their words in what high esteem Miss
Dickinson is held by the ministers of
the state, both for her ability and for
her earnest purpose. Rev Johnson gave
the charge to the people. During the
session, two musical numbers were
given, a solo by Miss Brand and a
solo by Mr.. A. B. Friedlund. At the
close of the service Miss Dickinson
pronounced the benediction. 1t is a
sincere pleasure to the members of
the Congregational church and to all
Miss Dickinson's friends in Glasgow
that this great honor and privilege for
high service should have been conferred
upon her.
