Pauls Valley, I. T., Sept. C.—A case
of the old fashioned yellow jaundice
accompanied by symptoms of aggra-
vated cirhossis caused a flurry of ex-
citement at Maysville, a small town
twenty miles west of this place last
week. A farm hand named English,
becoming sick, attending local physi-
cians called council and the rumor ori-
I ginating in a Jest became current that
, it was yellow fever. The spread of the
I rumor caused Gainsville physicians to
' investigate and a quarantine wa9 bul-
1 letined by Gainsville against Maysville.
The physicians who are familiar with
the patient do not pronounce the case
yellow fever and In a public meeting
here by a mass body of citizens de-
clared a quarantine by this place
against Maysville was uncalled for.
At the mass meeting or indignation
meeting here the Gainsville physicians
Indignantly denied that they had de-
clared the Maysville man's case yel-
low fever and publicly requested that
newspaper correspondents here re-
frain from quoting them as saying the
case was yellow fever, as they positive
ly had not stated this. What some
senseless Jester started as a fool's
joke has gained no little circulation
and until the farts of the case became
known some alarm was felt. There
is not a case of yellow fever in Texas,
Arkansas or Indian Territory and no
likelihood of any. No quarantine will
be established here as was reported.
It In thought that the Texas quaran-
tine announced last night is a retalia
tory measure instigated to offset the
Oklahoma quarantine established
against Texas last week.

• BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.
Plump cheeks, flushed with the soft
glow of health and a pure complexion,
make all women beautiful. Take a small
dose of Herbine after each meal; it will
prevent constipation and help digest
what you have eaten. 50c. Mrs. Wm.
M. Stroud, Midlothian, Tex., write9,
May 31,1901: "We have used Herbine
in our family for eight years, and found
it the best medicine we ever used for
constipation, bilious fever and malaria.'

Denver Paper Says Frank Stone Has
Adopted Fine Daughter.
Under the heading "Sings way to a
rich home, poor and pretty Denver girl
adopted by a mlllionair, from $S a
week to life of luxury, Miss Carrie Mc-
Manus departs from humble home in
the private car of Prank Stone," a
Denver paper of recent date has the
following:
"Pretty Carrie McManus of Denver,
will leave her humble home and an $8
a week position in this city for a life
of luxurious ease as the adopted
daughter of a millionaire real estate
man of Oklahoma. She has sung her
way into the heart and home of Frank
Stone, of Shawnee, and he had promis-
ed her opportunity of a brilliant ca-
reer, attainable through a complete
musical education. Miss McManus is
well known as the leader of the Denver
Pajama Girls, a sextet of charming
young women who have thrilled the
hearts of many by their singing.
Miss McManus lived at 2329 Curtis
street. Tuesday she entered the mu-
sic department of the Lewis & Son's
dry g:>ods store, where she earned JS
a week singing. Thursday she left
denver for Shawnee in the Stone pri-
vate car, and today she is practically
mistress of one of the finest homes of
that town. Mr. and Mrs. Stone came
to Denver sightseeing, and by chance
visited the music department when
Miss McManus was Employed. Mrs.
Stone at once recognized the posslbi
lities of the girl's voice, and hastene 1
•to compliment her upon her singing.
She selected a number of songs and
requested that they be sung, to which
the girl responded graciously.
Then and there the offer of adop-
tion was made, and Miss McManus
and her newly found friends left th<
store to consult the girl's mother. .

Exhibitions of skill in the use of
firearms possess no little interest to
the average person, more especially bo
when contributed by a member of the
sex feminine, who are generally sup-
posed to be as timid and retiring where
firearms are concerned as at the sight
of a mouse. Exceptions prove the
rule, however, and visitors to Pawnee
Bill's Wild West exhibition, which will
soon appear here, may see -this fact
capably demonstrated by "Winona,"
tie dusky princess of the Sious tribe,
whose splendid facility with rifle and
shotgun does not suffer by comparison
with the work along similar lines of-
fered by masculine experts. Both
afield and upon horse she displays
equla aptitude anS-skill and she claims
especial distinction as the only one of
her sex performing shooting "stunts"
from the back of a galloping horse.
Shooting at pennies and objects, both
stationary and moving, while afoot,
is the merest pastime for this wonder-
ful maiden, and she concludes her work
with the destruction of flying targets
thrown in the air, while she circles
the arena upon a swiftly galloping
horse. Certainty of vision and stead-
iness of nerve are splendidly exempli-
fied in her remarkable feats of skill
with implements which tradition cred-
its man only as being equipped with
the nerve and ability to skillfully em-
ploy. ' 'lift

DRUMMERS DODGE
One noticeable result of the yellow
fever troubles in the South is the pres
once in this territory of a large num-
ber of traveling men, who would ord!
nariiy be in the states farther south at
this time of the year. This year, how
ever, they are eith?r "cutting out" that
territory altogether, or postponin
their visits until after frost.
"There is not a traveling man In
Mississippi, except the local men who
live there and go from town to town,"
said a salesman for a Kansas City
packing house who had been making
the Southern states for years. "I
know I was very glad to get out of
there till cooler weather, and everyone
else is the same way. It works a hard-
ship both ways, to the merchants and
to our houses, but business is so thor-
oughly prostrated in most of the
Southern towns anyway that we could
not do any business if we were there."

Pauls Valley, I. T., Sept. 5.—A. B.
Chapman, a brakeman on the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Fe, fell in front of
a detached section of a freight on
which he was working and was in-
stantly killed. The accident occurred
at the junction in the south part of the
town and was caused by the train
becoming uncoupled, thus setting the
brakes and throwing the unfortunate
man in front of the car on which he
was sitting. The top of his head was
cut oft and one leg and one arm
broken.
Graves Roberts, formerly of Cock-
rell & Roberts, has purchased an Inter-
est in the Crescent Drug Store, and
will be pleased to m«et his friends at
his new place of business. 2-Gt
No matter if you do your own washing or have hired help there a a
roason why you should have the latest and best improved machine
that will do away with the heaviest and hardest part of the housework
—the drudgery part.
No matter if you do the washing yourself or pay to have it done, the
oost is regulated by the time it takes and the woar and tear of the
clothes. This is where the GEE WHIZZ WASHING MACHlNh pays
tor itself. It will wash olothes thoroughly clean in from three to six
minutes. It will not tear or injure the daintiest 01 fabrios, suoh as
laces, lace ourtains, dainty silk work, eto. There are no wooden pegs
or heavy rollers to catch and tear or grind them.
When a washing is through the maohine is easily rinsad and ready for
the next wash day. You don't have to keep standing water in it to
preserve it—it can't fall to pieces—oan't leak, can t rust it s a gal-
vanized tank. It will outlast any other maohine made. It is the
only maohine that wash a handkerohisf as well as a tub full—will
positively wash olothes clean. We guarantee that when the GLL
WHIZ is operated according to instruct,nns it will do everything we
claim for it.
