This year marking tho 100thanni
versary of tho acquisition of Louisiana
by tho United States has revived in
terest in tho history of that vast region
of which our state lorms a part To
know tho chronicles of Nebraska so far
as the doeds of civilized men are con
cerned we must also know the story of
Louisiana Aside from tho negotiations
that resulted in the purchase tho early
history will bo found in the narratives
of the adventurers and explorers who
crossed the plains before the days even
of stage lines
Probably none of these accounts is
better written than Astoria by Wash
ington Irving an author who by the
way seems somehow most unfortunately
to have gone out of fashion Ho was
one of tho first American authors to be
read and appreciated in England yet he
is in this day too little known in the
land of his nativity nis works possess
u charm peculiar to themselves and it
is difficult to understand why ho is not
more widely read
Irvings Astoria is the history of the
founding of that first American colony
on the Pacific slope It contains an ac
count cf tho party that made the long
overland trip through a country that
had up to that time probably been un
trodden by white men Tho valleyof
the Platte was the great highway to the
west and the little band that went by
land pursued tho usual course Irving
does not recount his own adventures
but takes his material from the diaries
and records of the expedition
Another and perhaps better book for
our purposes is the Oregon Trail by
Parkman This is the story of a trip
across the plains made by the author in
the summer of 1845 It has the advant
age of being a personal narrative Park
in in went by the Platte valley route and
while he spent most of the season across
the border in Wyoming the line is an
arbitrary one one moreover that had
no existence then and his account will
apply with equal fidelity to Nebraska
Irving was not unfamiliar with this
western world for he himself made a
long expedition into the
country in the early days and de
scribed his trip in Tour of thePrairies
It may be doubted whether he came as
far north as this Ho was on a hunting
excursion and probably confined him
self to the territory now known as Okla
homa
Parkman has written other books
which while not touching Nebraska
treat of subjects with which all who de
sire to know the history of their own
country should be familiar One of the
most interesting of these is LaSalle and
the Discovery of the Great West This
author covers periods and countries not
embraced within the scope of any other
writers works and for this reason Iiis
books are not only entertaining but ex
tremely valuable To almost every man
however much or little of the student
may be included amoDghis qualitiesthe
story of the occurrences of the past is of
absorbing interest
Our own state is not without a history
but the stray ends of the record must be
gathered from many sources Some
authorities assert that Coronado crossed
what is now our southern boundary
Whether he did or not cannot be estab
lished but if he came within Nebraska
at all his path must have led not very
far from where we live Many other ex
plorers did cross the state however and
while we would like to claim the distinc
tion of having been discovered by the
adventurous Spaniard we should be
content to restrict ourselves to accounts
that are not only authentic but that
leave us in no doubt

Still More About Vaccination
Edjtok Tribune In replj to my
article on tho subject vaccination Dr
Beach says ho read with surprise tho
position taken by mo
His object seems to be to create tho
impression that my opposition to vacci
nation is unprecedented and should be
iguored and frowned upon by the people
Iu keeping with tho spirit of tho
century to which he appeals for his in
spiration ho fears tho education of tho
people The advocates of vaccination
know as did the Jesuits of old that edu
cation is the death of superstition Hear
him fI am deeply grieved that such
views as those given in aforesaid article
exist in this present day Now ob
serve why he is so distressed for they
influenco the people who are not versed
n vaccination How in the name of
common sense does he expect us to be
come versed on the subject
He tells us further on vaccinate and
get your own results You see his
idea of an education is that of tho rain
maker let us experiment on you at so
much per head and then you take your
chances
The fact is tho followers of the 18th
century fad are becoming demoralized
all along the line at its waning popu
larity among the people
Dr Beach says this question was set
tled in 1798
It seems that tho English people are
notas well satisfied that it was settled
right as Dr Beach is as Queen Victoria
appointed a commission to investigate
the subject as late as 1889 composed of
8 of the most distinguished medical men
of England and quite a number of emi
nent men in other professions This
commission we are told spent more than
7 years in its investigation held 136
meetings examined more than 200 wit
nessess and investigated six epidemics
which had occurred in recent years It
is from the evidence presented in the
majority report of this commission that
I base many of my indisputable facts
I want to ask how it was possible for
Aviso men to have settled this question
in 1778 when it was in that very year
that Dr Jenner vaccinated his first sub
ject The doctor says As far as
statistics go to prove the point etc
intimating that he does not depend
to any great extent on statistics
to bolster up his side of tho ques
tion Let me ask on what he does base
his argument if not on statistics As
there is no sense in it he certainly can
not reason it out by any principles of
logic As I understand it the advocates
of the simple precaution are confined
to statistics and statistics alone He
says Sweden lost 2050 per 1000000 be
fore they commenced to vaccinate and
after vaccination 15S Admitting this
to be true how does it look by the side
of the further fact That after almost
xnree quarters or a century or vaccina
tion she lost 0290 in one year 1874
The fallaciousness of the argument will
become apparent when we observe that
this average loss of 15S per year was
practically all in the one year of 1874
The last small pox epidemic that has
struck Sweden we find that 65x158 equals
10270 Sixty five years was about the
length of time that Sweden had been
vaccinating when the great epidemic of
1872 4 struck her It seems plain that
Dr Beach aims to pull the wool over
our eyes by his sophistical methods
His German statistics are subject t the
same criticism and just as readily dis
posed of why does he confine himself to
18S3andlS88 This is in keeping with
the usual methods of a bad cause sup
pression of real important facts and ex
altation of those which do not bear on
the subject That they had little or no
small pox in Berlin or London in those
years mentioned is not at issue He
should be able to show if his position is
correct that vaccinated people do not
have small pox at any time My posi
tion is that vaccination does not protect
from small pox which I proceed to prove
The German army is one of the best
examples of perfect vaccination and is
often referred to by the vaccinationists
for its immunity from small pox The
London Advertiser of November 24
1870 reports small pox is making still
greater havoc in the ranks of the Prus
sian army which is said to have 30000
small pox patients in itshospitalsthese
were all vaccinated and revaccinated
The New York Medical Journal July 15
1899 contains an article by Charles
Ruata M D professor of Hygiene and
Materia Medica of Perugia Italy en
titled Vaccination in Italy He says
Italy is one of the best vaccinated
countries in the world if not the best of
all Our young men with few excep
tions must enter the army at the age of
20 years where they are by a regulation
compelled to be vaccinated For 20
years before 18S5 our nation was vacci
nated in the proportion of 985 per cent
Notwithstanding the epidemics of small
pox we have had have been so frightful
that nothing before the invention of
vaccination could equal them As Dr
Beach says So far as statistics go to
prove the point I think I have quoted
sufficient Vaccination is the direct de
scendent of inoculation Inoculation
was believed in and practiced by the
same scientific gentlemen who settled
the vaccination question soon after

ner had vaccinated one boy Could
there be anything more absurd Yes
here it is that educated doctors in this
day and generation of sanitary science
and aseptic surgery should deliberately
infect the organism of a healthy child
with the poisonous matter taken from a
running sore on a diseased calf under
pretense of protecting the victim against
the contagion of another disease In
the process of introducing this colony
of microbes in the blood the modern
doctor uses great caution He washes
and scrubs his hands Instruments if
used are carefully disinfected the vic
tims arm is thoroughly cleansed Why
all this scrubbing The answer is easy
He fears infection as he fears death and
yet under the blinding influence of an
ancient and venerated superstition he
will intentionally introduce into the cir
culation of a healthy human being a
virulent animal poison vaccine virus
infection itself under strictly aseptic
conditions Can inconsistency go farther
than this Had Dr Beach when he
scented a small pox epidemic in thb air

advised us to clean up Called the at
tention of our city fathers to the un
wholesome condition of our streets and
alleys to the decomposing refuse at the
back doors of many of our groceries
and the festering cesspools accumulat
ing in our town It would have been
more in keeping with the spirit of the
19th century than to have remained
silent on this important subject of
cleanliness and advised us to have more
poison introduced into our systems
Now in conclusion let me say there
is but one simple precaution against
small pox and that is obedience to law
The language of nature as well as of
scripture is The soul that sinneth
shall not be vaccinated but shall
die If wrong is done evil must
come The Creator has not been so in
consistent as to ordain penalties to se
cure obedience to his laws and then
provide remedies to do away with the
penalties
I further believe that the only salva
tion from small pox as from all other
filth diseases lies in the direction of
sanitary regulations and hvgienic habits
