Diagnosis of the swift striking dis

naro by Dr. Elmer r. Pascoe, acting
city health officer.
= We have definitely established
= hat the ailment is the pneumonia
plague. a very terrible disease DR..
Pascoe said.
The plague is form Of double
pneumonia. Both lungs become in
fected and The temperature goes to
a high mark. Death follows swiftly,
generally within four days after the
disease hrst appears.
The mortality is very high. In
the case of the seventeen Mexicans
who have contracted it. we feel the
death toll VIII be 100 per cent.
Armed guards have been placed
around the districts where the vic
tins resided Those now dead are
in the isolation ward of the general
hospital" DR.. PascOe said.
The pneumonia plague is the
same disease which struck London
in the fifteenth century.
We do not know how it origi-
mated. As far as we can determine
Mrs. Samanaro was the first victim.

of his father, James J. Kincade was
still out at noon today, aftec
baIloting on Kincade's fate since ,

Court attaches held little hope for
a verdict. reports from the jury
room, it is said, being that the men
were hopelessly deadlocked.
The State in the trial contended
the elder Kincade was beaten to
death by his son with an iron gas
pipe, and its case was largely built
on the testimony of brothers and
other close relatives of the defend
ant. The accused man, on the
stand. insisted that his father was
killed in a fall down a stairway in
the barn.

We are now living in democracy.
Centuries of struggle and rivers Of
blood secured for us the privilege Of
representative government.
The bitter battle against imperial Op-
preston and royal intolerance threads
it's way back through the ages, and
Runnymede should be more than
name to us who live today.
D UT NOW in new guise the ambition
- of empire comes again-thls time
an invisible Empire.
And under the pretense Of Ameri-
canism it would plant itself once more
in the citadel Of power.
That in final analysis is what the Ku-
Klux Klan means.
And that is what we, as voters, should
consider when we go to the polls Tues
day next.
A vote for jackson is a vote for the
Invisible Empire.
A vote for McCulloch is a vote
