OscroLA, ASH. Dec. 18th, 1882.

Dear Sir; In your editorial Of last
Saturdays edition Of the Times; upor
the small pox scare" one would
infer from the tone of Your article
that 7 had been guilty of heniou.
crime by having small pox in thi,
town be- that as it may; ! hardly
think y-u ~aaliy intended such, ant
shaala take no notice OF il, only you
made some misstatcmcnts that wisl
TO correct:
Now sir! you say that the Mayor
issued an order prohibiting any com
munication with any one except a
Physician and nurse had that been
the order | would have said al right,
and submitted; but sir, the infamous
order handed my wife; when she was
already overwhelmed with grief, with
baby at the hreaHt and other little
children looking to Der for protection;
with not a rag of light or hope and
no sleep for her weary Said
what? "That any communication
with any citizen Of this town would
be punished with heavy fine"
Yes sir that is what his honor's
order said, that was sent my wife by
men, il | should honor them by call.
ing them men, Sir, was | to be
blamed for all the furor over the
school? or was it the idiotic predic-
ton of the active member Of the
Board of Health who said "Snall
pox would be all over town in ten
days. Now Mr.. Editor, / will stake
my life that you might take the most
malignant case of small pox and put
it in public highway and march
every inhabitant of this town within
ten feet of it and not one would take
it; protected as they are by Vaccina-
tion.
Do your town authorities think
that they have prevented the spread
of small pox by barricading the
streets and mailing up boards in front
of my house with Small pox scratched
upon them; or did my good wife by
digging holes and burying, and burn
ing everything that went from my
room? For the enlightenment of
your Osccola Officials, | will state
that the Yellow flag, which | had put
up the first day | was made confident
that had the disease, is signal all
over the world forsmall pox in winter,
You speak Of the town council
meeting 70 take action &c. What
more could YOU have done? Unless
You had sent down a wagon with a
few poe marked individuals to haul
me of to the woods.
Had o thief or IA murderer fallen
sick amongst you, could you have
treated him any worse than that or
der specifodg
In conclusion ! will say ! feel
most thankful that it is no worse, and
can say, | bear no malice toward any
one IN the town, and believe the
Council was directed by ignorance
on the the part of the active members
of the Board of Health, for whom
have no sympathy, and now as the
storm is about abated ! think YOU
will say that Esquire Liston, who
kicked down the barbados and pass
ed on his accustomed way to his
place of business, acted with more
discretion than those who walked
half mile around through the mud.
To the citizens of Osceola and vi.
cinity, | will say, that will soon don
new suit of clothes and be ready
for business.
Very Respectfully,
II. c. DUNAvANr.

RAILROAD NOTES.

The second steamer of the Benton
line will leave Bismarck for Benton to-day.
j. NJ. Hannaford, the general freight agent
of the Northern Pacific railroad, has gone to
Fargo.
Tomorrow the Northern Pacific road will
put the sleeping car on the trains between
Fargo and Duluth.
The NJ. d st. L. train yesterday came in in
two sections, one of which consisted of ten
coaches of emigrants.
1t was intended to change the time-card to-
morrow on several of the roads, but it was
finally concluded to wait one week.
The troubles on the Northern Pacific road
are chiefly at Jamestown. This side OF that
point the road is in good condition.
Five trains of emigrants are on the way
from Canada on the Albert Sea route. All of
these trains are from the Grand Trunk line
Canada.
The news received by the people of the
Northern Pacific road from the artesian well
is to the effect that the volume Of water is in
creasing.
Fred French, general northwestern agent of
| the Chicago, Rock Island 81 Pacific road,
passed through ST. Paul yesterday on his way
| to Winnipeg, where he is to have his head
quarters.
The Chicago Office of the Cunard line of
steamers write to Mr.. johnson of the st. Paul
s. Manitoba road, that the steamer Palmyra
will arrive at Boston tomorrow with 600 en-
| igrants on board, and that the Batavia with
| 500 more Will arrive at New York the Sunday
after, all bound for the Northwest.
The Sioux City Journal of the 18th says:
.'The Transfer is now running. The APP
proaches are completed on both sides of the
river. She takes on six cars and sails out
| like a duck on a mill-race. Capt. Frank
Voolfolk is the presiding genius over this
craft and he keeps her as neat as a country
schoolmarm's shoestring."
Two locomotives were mashed in pieces
yesterday on the road near the Seventh street
bridge. 1t is reported that both engines were
trying to make the same switch at the same
time. The consequence was that neither of
them got there and both got into each other
| in such way that both were broken all to
pieces and laid out across the track.
A train of ten coaches of emigrants from
Canada, accompanied with five freight cars,
arrived on the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
road yesterday. Besides these large number
of emigrants arrived on the regular trains,
SO that the union depot was all alive with
people, and it became necessary to make extra
provision for moving them. In order to do
| this special train was made up on the ST.
Paul and Manitoba road, and sent off at
o'clock, heavily loaded.

A Case Where Executive CIemency is to be
Invoked.

Sheriff DuToit of Carver county was in the
city yesterday on his return from Saltwater,
where he had been to place in confinement
Mr.. Henry Fabel, an old and well known resi-.
dent of the county, under a sentence of two
years, for assault with intent to do great bod.
lily injury. 1t appears that Mr.. Fabel has
been drinking to excess, il the delirium
caused by which he conceived the idea his
family physician had insulted his wife, very
estimable lady, acting under which impress.
sion Fabel drew the physician from his horse
at the point, of loaded revolver. For
this, as the reporter is informed, he was prose.
cuted, with the expectation he could be sent
to the county Jail for short period, during
which he could be restored to his proper mind
The severe sentence of two years in the peni
tertiary has therefore had the effect of creating
a warm sympathy for him, and an effort has
already been commenced to secure executive
clemency after few months.

A Dreadful Death.

Yesterday afternoon little son of William
Morgan, 90 months old, met with terrible
accident which resulted in its death. The
children were playing in the yard, and in some
way this little one got separated from the
others and wandered away by himself and fell
into the privy vault, and he was sufocated
to death. The children first noticed
the little fellows disappearance and some of
them ran into the house and told his mother.
A general search followed and his body was
found in the vault. The vault is about eight
feet in diameter at the surface and twelve or
fifteen feet deep. 1t was only partially cover
ed by frame building, and was SO dangerous
that it is surprising that it should have be en-
left in that condition SO long,

Issue of Bonds

Hitch IN the Plan for Voting for the
Issue of Bonds
The following correspondence between
County Auditor McCardy and County Attor-
ney Egan, with referance to the vote upon the
question of the issue of bonds for a court
house and city hall, will be of interest to the
electors of the county, in view of the reading
OF the legislative act authorizing such act.
Mr.. McCardy writes Mr.. Egan as follows
COUNTY AUDITORS OFFICE,
RAMSEY COUNTY, MIMI,
ST. PAUL, April 10, 1889.
Col. ). j. Egan, County Attorney, Ramsey
County:
DEAR sIR-Chapter 376, Special Laws of
1881, page 22S, provides that the proposition
to issue bonds therein named, "shall be sub.
mltted to vote, ETC., etc, at the spring elec
ton in the month of May. 1882" This evil
IDENTIFY refers to the city election held in Nav
Now, there is no ''spring election in the
month of May, 1892 to be held in the county
outside of the city limits. Section says
notice of the proposition aforesaid to be voted
on shall be given by the city clerk and county
auditor.
Query: What kind of notice can be given
when there is no election and none provided
fore Will it be taarful for the various towns
to hold special election to vote on the
proposition?
IIease INFORM NE as TO my duty in the
premises, and if l should notify the town
officers to hold special election on the date
specified in the act. Very truly yours, etc.
j. j. MoCARDY, County Auditor.
RESPONSE OF MIR. EGAN.
To this County Attorney Egan replied "a
follows:
DEAR SIR The act of 1881 is defective in
regard to designating the time for voting on
the proposition specified, by reason of there
being no election to be held in the towns of
the county in the month of Nav. No bonds
can be issued under the act until valid cleo
ton is held, and an election under existing
law would be of no account. However. for
the purpose OF testing public opinion relative
10 the subject, and to lay basis for possible
legislative enactment authorizing the county
commissioners to act directly in the matter. 7
would advise the giving of notice in .nch
form as your judgment may suggest: and
cooperation with the authorities IN the nrem
Uses. l make this recommendation for tha
reason, among others, that the Judges of our
district court have seen fit to recognize the
act by making appointment of commissioners
themselves. Yours, ETC., j. J. EGAN,
County ATTORNEY.
To j. J. MCCARDY, County Auditor.
Actin upon the suggestion of Mr.. Egan An
ditor McCardy will issue notices for special
elections in the several towns of the county,
Undue time to give the ten nays notice re.
quired in the act.
