The Facts About Small Pox Scare.
The E. A.:
Hugh Kirkpatrick, who has been sick
with pneumonia for ovr a week, is
now rapidly recovering.
On accoont of tho bad weather of
late work on the extension of the
Southern Pacific railroad between Leb
anon and Crabtrep has been greatly
retarded.
J. W. Stewart, banker and attorney
of Lincoln, Neb , arrived in Lebanon
Sunday to spend a couple of weeks. He
is one of the principal stockholders of
the new Lebanon State Bank, and Mr.
Day, manager of the bank, is his son
in law.
The scarlet fever and smallpox situ
ation is improving. No new cases out
side of the house quarantined prior to
last Friday are reported, which goes to
show these diseases are on the decrease.
The smallpox cases have been of the
mildest kind: in fact an mild that in
some cases the patients w,ere not ill
enough to be confined to their beds.
Pennies and R. Ft D. Men.
The little one cent piece has become
a decided nuisance among R. F. D.
carriers. A statement just received
by Postmaster Van Winkle from the P.
O. department at Washington is that
on an average all over the country 115
pennies are left for each carrier in the
country to take out of the boxes, with
his cold fingers, instead of placing
stamps and letters nnd papers, as
should be none, making the little things
cause a good deal of trouble. In the
whole U. R. it figures up the enormous
amount of 300,000,000 pennies. It will
therefore be a favor if people alrng R
F. D. routes will use stamps instead of
pennies.

FROM ACTUAL
SKETCHES.
In Wyoming fairly pulses with fresh,
vigorous, active life of the young' West.
It has a love story as tender as that of
'Romeo an Juliet," and is rich with
humor and quaint philosophy. That
"In Wyoming" will be richly staged,
and excellently weil acted is guaranteed
by the name of the artist ho painted
the scenes from actual sketches mads
in the state of Wyoming, and the names
of the clever acton chosen rortheprin
cipal rales of the play. The scenes of
Dalby Ranch near Casper, Wyo., in
the Big Horn Valley, were painted by
W. O. Wegner, from sketches especial
ly made for him in Wyoming. The
decorations, costumes, accoutrements,
were all chosen and arranged by M r.
Willard Mack, who was born and raised
in Wyoming, and who is considered an
authority.
