WASHINGTON, Ma'eh 3-Fricnds
of cx-pres dent Roosevelt in Wash
ington arc somewhat worried over a
statement made by Captain Fritz Du

"Bwana Tumbo" and the other mem
bers of his party arc l'kely to be
streken with the dread sleeping sick
ness, or the Afiican fever, when they
get back to civilization.
The news cabled from Africa yes
terday thac Dr. Roderick Prosch,
a missionary, had been stricken with
fever and died within a few hours
after lunching with Colonel Roosc

In more than a score of zones of the
sleeping sickness," said Duqucsne,
"and it is highly probably every mem

his veins. It may not develop until
they reach Europe or even America.
It is positively dangerous to allow
Mr. Roosevelt and his party to return
to this country without having a bac
teriological examination of their blood.
"If either the African fever or the
sleeping sickness should attack one of

it wou'd spread everywhere. I am
forced ti believe that the Roosevelt
party must be infected with one
of these deadly maladies'. If it es

record of an African party getting off
scot free. Mark my word before the
party gets to Europe either African
fever or the sleeping sickness will
break out, among them."

COMMERCIAL CLUB
IN EXTRA SESSION.
Discuss Many Methods for the
Betterment of the Club and
City. .
' The adjourned meeting of the com
mercial club at the usual place last
night was an important one from
many standpoints. While there was
not very much business transacted
which would show up big in the line
of bringing business to the city, many
other matters were discussed which
will tend to help immensely in the
future.
A motion was passed instructing
the secretary to make application
to join the state association and to
pay such fees as was necessary to
attain membership in that, organi
zation. A motion was also passed inviting
the Cass County Editorial associa
tion to be the guest of the dub at
some meeting in the future which
will be called by the president of the
association. The matter of enter
tainment was left to the executive
committee.
The matter of another banquet
was also left to the old banquet
committee.
The matter of the ferry road was
again before the club and the report
of the county surveyor in favor of
the location along the river.
Mr. Wurl turned over to the trea
surer five dollars which he had been
holding for three years waiting for
a" committee to report and finally
concluded to get rid of the respon
sibility without further waiting.
Other matters were discussed which
were of considerable importance to
the club, and a resolution was passed
verbally that in the future if members
of the club desire to know what is
Wing done in the meetings of the
club that they should uttend and
fir.d cut.
Home from Colorado.
Hon. C. A. Rawls, formerly county
attorney here and for the past year
seperintendent of a ranch in the
Arkansas valley of Colorado, owned
by the Cass Land Company, came
in from the west today, and reports
everything in that country in a fioursh
ing condition. Mr. Rawls says the
weather there has been ideal and pro
spects never better for a splendid
year. The occasion of Mr. RawLs
visit at this time is the annual meeting
of the board of Directors of the Com
pany to be held here this evening for
the purpose of formulating plans
for the improvement of the property.
Mr. Rawls will probably remain in
the city for several days.

'TWAS EVER THUS
BUT WHY IS IT.
The Same Old Game Which Al
ways Works So Successfully
Everywhere.
A man and woman, who have been
running an auction of jewelry and
other cheap junk in the' Thompson
building, closed their place of business
last week, after a successful business
in cur city. It is estimated that they
disposed of over 75 cheap watches
at fancy prices besides a various
assortment of other cheap jewelry.
One man it is said purchased three
watches. Another found that his
had stopped before ho reached home.
Why it is that people will patronize
these people instead of the home
merchants, who keep reiablc goods
and are always here to make good
anything that is wrong will always
be a mystery but such is the case in
every town. What the village board
should do is to impose such a heavy
tax upon this class of fakers that
they will fiht shy of the town.
This is being done in many Nebraska
town and in all rases ha3 the desmd
effect. Our merchants ore entitled
to all the prcteetina hc village au
thorities can by law allow them.
