J. p. SMELKER, Attorney at Law
and p s, master at Highland, came
into our city on Monday, i'll utter
disregard Of ordinances and regula-
tions 10y the Common Council and
City Board of Heclth, forb ddng
residents of Highland Village, where
the SIN ii Pox is prevailing to an
alarming extent, from coming here.
Calling ut the u. S. Hotel, where he
usually stops, he was requested by
landlord Philips to drive on. At Shil-
len'sHotel he was refused admittance,
but was allowed to put his team in
the barn. His presence being re-
ported to the city officials, q warrant
for his arrest was issued to the Chief
OF Police. and soon poor Jesse was
placed III "duress 5" The city ordi-
nance, on which his arrest was
based not having been published in
the official paper (THE TRIBuNE,) he
had to be released, and before another
warrant on the basis of the ordi-
nance Of the Board of Heath, could
be served, the offender had left the
city and escaped the pest house.
OF course, Mr. Smoker and every
body else will understand that the
proceedings were demanded for the
public health, and not prompted by
any auip4oa.ty toward him or any
citizen Of Highland. He had no right
to presume our officials would fail
to Ell force their DEGREES. The coarse
pursued toward Mr.. S. may seem
harsh, but its propriety is manifest,
and the piomptness Of action by our
officers is to he commented. Had
no notice of Mr.. Smokers coming
been taken, q hundred others from
Highland might have followed him,
aud Small. Pox in our city would
almost certainly have been speedy
result.

ments shat but little care is taken
by the people here To prevent the
spread of the small pox," and that

The people are very careful, and
neither nurses, or any one else from

fact, it is the opinion of a good
many, that the doctor carried the
disease to his sister, aud to five
others in the village, and one out

it from these seven. There are uine
families in the village that have it,

Ave families in the country in the

cases in the village and seven in the
country. OF these three have died,

little necessity for the present ses~

letter posted or .ake higher rank.

Is expe cted to be presented, with a

Downs and Assemhlyman Gray are
under-tOod to favor the idea, in
which, we feel conlident, they fairly
represent their constituents.
