"The Roosevelt expedition has been In more than a score of zones of the sleeping sickness," said Duqucsne, "and it is highly probably every mem ber of the party now has the virus in 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 tne party aftei orr v ng n th s country, 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 capes it will be the only example on 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."

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.
