sDeadwood. d. T.. Jan 10, 18sO.-For the
past two weeks this community has been
afflicted with terrible scourge In the form
Of pneumonia, which is raging to 90 alarm.
ing extent IN Deadwood, Lead City and
Central City. Up to last Sunday nineteen
deaths had occurred at Central City, and
since that time the number has been steadi.
ly increasing, until the number of deaths
now average three each day. At Lead City
the'pestilence is rapidly taking off it's peo-
pie at the rate Of three or four day. DR..
Glenn, prominent pbysician of that place,
to-day succumbed to the dread disease
which Is desolating the community and cre-
atiDg panic generally. The old as we'll as
the young fall daily victims TO the awful
scourge. In this city the mum
Der Of deaths have been less than
in the up Rulch towns. only eight
deaths having occurred here altogether
from pneumonia, although number of
deaths from other causes have occurred.
The total number of deaths go far greatly
outnumber the deaths from yellow fever in
the south during the last summer, in pro.
portion to the number of inhabitants there
are here, and are as follows: In Central
City, SS; Lead City, 10; Deadwood, 8,
making total of 66 deaths from pneumonia
in twenty-six days.
The road supervisors to-day issued orders
restricting all persons from allowing gar.
bage or refuSe to accumulate in anv part Of
the city, and officers have been detailed tc
see that these orders are enforced. The
pestiience is attributed to decayed vegeta
tion and refuse which has accumulated 70,
the past two years, and the reason
for its milder form here ir
Deadwood is accounted for by the grea
fire which burned up all this decayed mat
ter and has had tendency 10 purify the
atmosphere.
Last evening benefit was given by th.
theatre for the relief of the sick, which net

Problem Worked Out.
To illustrate the great variety of opinions
and suggestions on railroad matters this let
ter is made public. At the suggestion of the
writer a few changes in the spelling f words
were made, otherwise the letter appears as
received:
l have just been reading your article of De.
cember 10, 1879, on railroad regulation,
which leads me to say something on the SUBJ
ject. The question arises, upon what princi-
pie can the State regulate fares and freights
l can only see one that is upon exact justice
to ALL How can the State say one man shall
road simply because he lives further away?
Does not the Government convey letter
5000 miles for the same that it conveys it
one mile Do not the street cars in the city
carry the whole length of the city for the
same as one block Does not the Govern
ment charge the same for lands in the remote
places, and for POOR land, as it does for good
land near a market? Also the State taxes all
property at the same rate, according
to value. Upon this principle the State,
if it has the right or power
to regulate fares and freights, should do it so
that every man that got on through line
should pay the same, and every ton of freight
should pay the same, making no difference at
what point it was laid off. This would equal
ize the value of property, make the poor
mans land the same value far away as the
man who was lucky enough to get land
nearer a market, for his grain would fetch the
same and his groceries would cost no more.
Under such system all the vacant land
would be improved and the country villages
would be large towns The city would not be
overrun with surplus population, the whole
country would be sending their surplus to
market all upon equality. Thei theory is
very simple and Just. Let the State regulate.
the fares and freights upon fair basis, that
would pay the company good profit
and guarantee a certain rate of inter-
est. The increase in revenue and trans.
portation in five years would pay
FIVE or ten-fold to the State, even if she
had to make up interest to the road. But
she would not. The road would make more
money, and her lands would come into mar
ket, and all be occupied, with large increase
of value. l throw this out for a hint to get
you and the public thinking on the right side
OF the question. OLD SETTLER.

ATTACHMENT. The Lower Lake Bulleti,,
advocates new system of road laws,
change in the attachment laws and a law
imposing heavy penalty for an officer to
seize under attachment or execution prop
erty that is claimed as exempt after due
notice OF such claim. The Lake Bee SAYS
We think the suggestions good, and have
heretofore expressed our views as to the
harshness and injustice of our attachment
laws. The Beltetin suggests that in cases
of attachment the debtor should be allowed
to retain possession of the property upon
giving bonds for its return, if Judgment
goes against him, thus avoiding the heavy
expense of keepers ices"
