Morgan Mad.

The following "pittIngs" from the
Chase County Leader, would seem to
indicate that Morgan's chair 10 on end''
over the reports that are floating around
relative to the prevalence of smallpox
at Strong City:
The smallpox scare in this vicinity
would be ridiculous were it not for the
fact that it is, to some extent, provok-
ing. A physician was called last Thurs
day, on the occasion of the confinement
of n colored woman, and Immediately q
half dozen individuals began to talk of
another case of smallpox. 1t weighed
12 pounds net.
Strong City was "all torn up" with ex-
citement, last Monday, over the report
of the existence of four to six cases of
smallpox in that town. The colored
barber, who spent a few days in Empo-
ria, about two weeks ago, is one of the
reported victims. Of the several cases
reported, one proved TO be severe at
tack of dysentery. aud another, a mild
form of hemorrhoids. We presume the
balance are humps, BARRIERS itch, and a
few cases of what Swayze might term
gangrene.
A family living in this city, who were
preparing to visit relatives in Emporia,
received letter the other day, advising
them to postpone their visit until the
small pox could be gotten under con-
troll. The caution taken by the writer,
to prevent the spread of the disease, is
commendable, bnt he neglected to dis
infect the missive.
We would suggest that persons hav
ing correspondence with parties in EN-
poria, insist that letters from that city
be thoroughly disinfecied by the liberal
use of carbolic acid and asafoetida, and
thus prevent the spread of the disease
through the medium of the mails.
A blind fiddler. from Emporia, APP
peared on our streets Tuesday. The
matter was Immediately reported to the
board of health, and the prompt action
of the board in the premises is CON-
mendable. 1t is only by such care that
our city is kept free from the lothsome
disease.
The Emporia authorities should put
a stop to the men, women and children
peddling truck to passengers on the en-
igrant train. which generally stops at
Emporia for an hour or more every day,
and thus mingle with people liable 10 be
infected with small pox, after which
they go about the city distributing the
infection in every direction. We concede
that it would be a great hardship 10 = |
largo number of the inhabitants of En-
poria, who make their living in that
way, but the county can better afford to
support them than TO run such risks.

In The case which came up before

wherein Marshal Bell was charged with
the willful and malicious killing of a
domestic animal, the defendant was dis
charged, the prosecution failing to show
malice on The part of the marshal, from
the fact that Mr.. Bell was simply per
forming his duties as they arc plainly
defined in the city ordinances II
would be well for those who are dis
posed to "kick" against the enforce
ment of any of the ordinances to under
stand that so long as the ordinances
stand, whether they be sustaiped by a
higher court or not, the city officers are
DerfectIy iustified in enforcing them.
