Most assuredly we have not. Our neighbors, however, have been quite solicitous after our health and the wel fare of the community, and as a precau tion they have used an over-supply of discretion in the matter of secluding themselves from the possible society of the pale horse of contagion which they were led to believe was galloping up and down the streets of McMinnville snort ing loathsome disease right and left. The story has been circulated and taken up on the wings of the morning and painted upon the hilltops that McMinn ville was dying, and that the well people were not to be found in sufficient num bers to bury the dead victims of small pox. This led the Christian spirit that characterizes good citizenship to become manifest. A neighbor came up from Carlton one day last week to pay the last respects to C. F. Daniels, whom he had learned was dead. Mr. Daniels was buesy in his garden at the time for the funeral, and was very indignant that he should be thought dead. He advised the kind friend to give no credence to the story of his sad and untimely death, as he declared it was consider ably exaggerated. Similar reports have damaged the reputation of this city, the equal of any municipality in Oregon for good health. The truth from which the smallpox scare originated is this: Some two months since, a family burned Johnson, consisting of thirteen members, Came from Tennessee and settled on the Ben Spanks place two miles west of town, In" about two weeks after their arrival the oldest daughter, who is a married lady, developed some eruptive disease. Other members of the family contracted the same malady, but as their symptoms were not alarming no physician was called until two weeks ago yesterday, when Dr. Cook was called in to see the old gentleman. He at once pronounced it smallpox, and cautioned the family and attending neighbors to isolate themselves. Twelve of the thir teen have gone through the ordeal. More than three weeks ago C. F. Dan iels had gone to the house and brought one gf the girls to town as a domestic in hi» family. About the time the doctor had called» to see Mr. Johnson this girl had become ill and returned home, later breaking out with smallpox, Mr. Dan- iels’ family of course were frightened, He closed his produce and feed store and the entire family placed themselves under voluntary quarantine, Miss Dan- iels gave up her place in the public school and endured the isolation with the others. All this gave rise to rumors of smallpox in McMinnville. The period necessary for the development of the disease after exposure is eight to twenty- one days, and it cannot be communi cated before the "breaking out” occnrs, except from infected clothing. But as there have been no new cases outside of the Johnson family, and in view of the fact that neighbors were with them from the first development of the disease, the danger of an epidemic of smallpox is very remote, and the danger of the dis ease breaking out in McMihnvillc is said by the physicians to hinge upon a bare possibility, as every necessary pre- caution has been taken Earl Tidd was a McMinnville visitor on Monday. Mrs. Rex. Lamson of Willamina was in the city Monday. Lewis L. Shortridge of Dolph was in town the first of the week. Miss. Mary Brown is assistingin the dining room at the Mack House. Oscar Faulconerand wife, and son Guy of Dolph are visiting friends in town. R. L. Bewley went to Portland last Saturday with two horses which he sold down there. Mrs. J. W. Cowles and Miss Mayme Graves of McMinnville spent the day in Sheridan last Tuesday. Geo. W. Grayson the Tillamook livery man was shaking hands with old aC’ quaintances here one day last week. Mrs. Claud Lamson, also Mrs. J. H. Lamson arrived from Culver, Crook co., one day last week for an extended visit with relatives. Sheridan i? somewhat excited ever the smallpox scare and for the next few days our physicians will be kept busy vaccina ting our citizens. The Mack House lias again been open ed to the public. It has beeu thourough- ly overhauled and would be hardly re cognized as the old hotel. Stephen Clark, the gentlemanly clerk in Buster’s drug store, left on Monday for a two week's visit with his parents who live out on the coast. Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Campbell, of Mc Minnville, came up on Tuesday in re sponse to a telephone message announc ing the death of Mrs. C's. mother, Mrs. P. M. Churchman. Our citizens were shocked on Tuesday to hear that Mrs. P. M. Churchman had suddenly died of Apoplexy. Her son Joe. going home about noon found her lying on the floor. A physician was summoned, but she expired in a few moments, Mrs. Churchman was highly respected by all who knew her, and all extend their heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved familv. % J Tilt CITI’’!

To the Editor: Will you kindly pub lish the ordinance relating to stock run ning at large and keeping swine within thje city limits, and oblige Your» Truly, T axpayer . Ordinance No. So lelates to stock run ning at large. Section I is as follows: No horses, mules, sheep, goats, hogs, bulls, oxen, cows or calves shall be al lowed to run at large or be herded in any of the streets, alley», parks or pub lic places within the corporate limits of the city of McMinnville, Oregon, or up on any private premise» therein except those of the owners of such animals, ex cept when being driven through for shipment or other purposes. utlleM the owner or owner» of such animal or ani mals shall first obtain permission of the owtiir of said private premises or his agent or the occupant thereof. The remaining sections prescribe the duties of the marshal when complaint has beer, made to him, and the punish ment provided for those who allow their animals to run at large contrary to law. There is popularly supposed to be an ordinance in existence which prohibits the keeping of swine within a certain distance of a dwelling. But if there is such an ordinance it will have to be brought to light by some poor council man who is willing to devote a great deal of time to research of musty litera WIHHIE». ture, for the recorder’» index doe» not By Justice of the Peace J.

The school in the Stultz district West of town is closed on account of the small pox scare. Mr Hawkins is having his property on Nursery street improved by adding a neat porch. Robt. Keys lias gone to Eastern Ore gon where he will spend the summer workiug ip the mines. Rev. Kershaw, a former pastor of the M. E. Church at this place, visited at the home of Rev. Lee last Tuesday. Why is it if a teacher dont keep perfect order the people complain, and when he licks an unruly kid they howl ? Mr. Harden is converting a portion of the building recently purchased into rooms for housekeeping purposes. J. J. Putman has taken up a homestead on land recently opened to settlement in Washington, and will close out his hard ware business and move to that state. The remains of Edwin Hamilton who was killed while doing duty as a soldier in the Philippine Islands, It is believed, will arrive here this month. The time has come when a good cow is looked upon as a good investment. Cows are now selling hereabouts at from $15 00 to f 60.00, and hard to get at those prices. Some of the members of Rev. Arthur Cane's class in painting are showing some very creditable work, and it may lie that some one of the lot will make a reputa tion as an artist. What does your cows milk test, is a question frequently heard. There hive been no scraps as yet over the matter, but a person can't stand quietly by and hear some other fellow say that he has the best cow in town, without calling him down.
