The Gazette. Thursday, July 20, 1899. RIGHT WRONGS NO ONE. The family of Tom Driscoll is afflicted with what is pronounced by the doctors who have visited them as a very mild form of small pox. The origin of the disease, so far, has not been traced, and the community mast await the proof of the doctors' diagnosis through contagion. Heppnerites are in no way alarmed, as measles and chicken pox have been preva lent for some time. The city officials are watching its develop ment, and have taken the pre caution of quarantining not only, the house affected, but those who have visited it, and should it prove a contagion, the mayor assures the Gazette that the town will be quar antined against incomers and out goers, in justice not only to the farmers, upon whom we are de pendent, but to the country at large. Selfish consideration of a few business men is not to be con sidered for an instant in this case. The towns heretofore afflicted have shown a disposition to deny the existence of this loathsome disease for business policy, and are in a measure responsible for its spread. Ueppner will pot follow their ex umple, and, should it prove a con tagion, it will be announced, and no individual affected, regardless of their stringent circumstances, or the fact that they are strangers without friends, will be neglected, but carefully nursed and taken care of. If it proves we are not affected with smallpox, the assurance will go out from our town offloials, who can bo depended upon. In the meantime everybody will be vacci nated and every precaution taken. The disease is no stranger to this town, and the fact that thorough vaccination reduces the serious consequences has been thoroughly demonstrated here. We will stand together on this isdue, as every en lightened community should. PROTECTION TO LADIES. In defense of our home women a blow was struck Tuesday night by a gallant young Heppnerite, that should have a salutary effect with a cIhbs of "fresh" traveling knights, who have so far forgotten themselves and their sisters and mothers as to carelessly address or approach the weaker sex, re gardless of their character or sur roundings. A crowded buss de prived a couple of ladies of a seat when the train came in, and a young traveling man unwisely ex tended them an invitation to get iu "We'll make room for you." The huBbaud of one of the ladies was in attendance upon them, and felt it li in responsibility to dictate to them, ami taking exception to the unsolicited invitation of the joung man, addressed him iu a manner more forcible than elegant. Realizing that he perhaps had overstepped the laws of propiiety iu the presence of the ladies, he miule amends by postponeing his interview with the traveling man until he readied town. Finding him at the hotel, he encountered him with a pummcling process, resulting in a pair of black eyes nud a generally battered condition of his features. Those who wit nessed the fracus from start to finish were unanimous iu their ap proval of the result. The unfor tunate young man was logical in his explanation of Ins gentlemanly intent, but admitted that to his knowledge there were a Bmall mi nority of traveling men who de serve just whut ho got. To our personal knowledge, from past association with thetu as a traveling representative, we cau vouch for the majority of thorn be ing gotitlemeu iu every souse of the word, and disposed to despise the uncouth element, void of the descency attributed to mankiud, who cast more or lesB reflection upon their profession, and the merited punishmeut which they encounter meets with their earuost approval. Those knowing this young man to be a geutlemau, will deplore the unfortunate circumstances that led to his falling a victim to cir cumstances that inflicted punish ment intended for those who de serve it. Th manhood of the one who oauio to th rescue of our women is commendable. Delinquent subscribers are re quested to come forw ard and settle, as it costs money to publish he Gazette. There is neither surprise nor alarm in official circles on account of yellow fever among our troops in Cuba. Surgeon-General Stern berg, of the army, said: "We have anticipated yellow fever among the troops and prepared for it, and uever expected to get through the occupation of the island without some cases of the disease. Major General Brooke understands the situation. He has as his chief surgeon a compe tent officer, and anything called for by him will be immediately sent. That there may be plenty of surgeons available, additional immune surgeons have been order ed to report to Dr. O'Reilly." The latest gossip concerning the candidacy of John R. McLearj, of Washington and Cincinnati, for the Ohio democratic gubernator ial nomination, which is now be ing openly pushed by Mr. McLean himself, says that McLean has no idea of being elected governor of Ohio, but wishes to use the state democratic machine and the prom inence that may be acquired as a candidate to help him ic his fight to prevent Bryan getting the presi dential nomination again. It was first said that Mr. McLean was after second place on the Bryan ticket, but it now seems that his principle desire is that there shall be no Bryan ticket. Incidentally he will let it be known to all the democratic strikers that he is will ing to put several of his millions to boost a McLean ticket. It is said that he has never forgiven Mr. Bryan for objecting to bis being given second place on the ticket in 'ill!, and that he is de termined to get even if possible. FOH TIMBER 1'ROTECTION.
