SMALLPOX.
More Cases Reported, and Two Fatal
Examinations Expected.

to fear that death will ensue in at least two of
the cases. The yellow flag has been hoisted at
the pest house and at house on the Rock
quarey road where a colored boy lies infected
with the disease. The places wherein the dis
eased persons were found were thoroughly
disinfected with sulphur, clothing and every
known effort was taken to prevent the extern
sion of the out break.
The physicians of the city do not appear to be
alarmed at the outbreak but they admit that
the cold weather will render the disease severe
and will conduce TO its extension.

known, but Clue Obtained

intoxicatiOn, was at the house of the father of

over the difficulties of his position. Officer
Wagenfuhr was Immediately sent there and, as
Il pretcXt, arrested Delsite for being drunk.
He was conveyed to the city Jail, bur was too
drunk to give any lucid explanation of his con-
duct, though he declared that if he were paid
for il he would tell where she was charge
OF kidnapping was subsequently preferred
against him, and he was transferred to the
county Jail. IL convicted of the charge he will
be liable to imprisonment for any term not less
than TWO and not more than ten years.

truth
It would DO q curious thing to
hear the answers that some Of our
rich mems souls will make when
they tap for admittance up above
and st. Peter, with his ear at the
wicket, propounds his questions.
We fancy that it will be something
like the following:
st. Peter to Vanderbilt-What
did you do below?
A.-Followed railroading and
dealt IN stocks.
Odd yoa do pretty well
A.-Made clear S1OO. O00, 900.
Q.-What did You do with the
money?
ADULT honses, bought pic.
tures, bought more railroads and
stocks.
Odd You educate your work
ingmen and furnish them Libraries ?
A -Never.
Q.-What did you do for the
poor?
A.-Nothing.
Odd you pay your honest
taxes?
A.-No.
Q.-Whas was yonr greatest
achievement on the earth
Al drove Maud S. and Aldine
to wagon in 1:l2Hs.
st. Peter to Gould-How much
money did you have down below ?
Al hate to expose my business
but vii! tell you in confidence, 1
made 500, 600. 600.
Q.-How did you use it
Al kept it rolling SO that it
would increase in size Had l but
been spared ten years LANCER l
would have owned the world.
Q-What were your charities
Al gave all my money to my
children.
What was your greatest
work?
Al built steam yacht that beat
every other zach. ever built.
Otto c. P. Huntingdon Yor
did pretty well below, did you not?
A.-To!erably we'll considering
my opportunities.
Q.-Railroading?
A-Yes.
Q.-Tell me all about it.
Al reduced rairoading to 3
perfect system. When q State Oh
iected to my ways, I insisted that |
was only responsible to the Gen
e-al Government when the Gov
eminent interfered, showed that
it was cowardly thing for the
Government to interfere with my
vested rights, and established that
in railroading I could carry goods
5000 miles cheaper than ! could
800. When subsidy was given
me I showed by Gear figures that !
made a sacrifice in accepting, and
when I charged the farmer as much
to carry his crop to market as he
received for raising the crop, ]
made him feel grateful that I left
him anything.
Q.-To Sydney Dillon: How
did you get along below?
Al picked up few dollars.
Odd you manage road, too:
A.-Lots Of them.
Q-Judging by your rates. how
much father was it from Chicago to
Butte. or HALEY than it was from
Salt Lake to Butte or HALEY?
Alt was about the same dis.
tance.
1OAuo j UA tnAOu60 q
mountainous and sparsely settled
country, do they not?
Ayes.
Odd you make them pay?
A.-Thirty millions per annum.
Q.-What did You do for that
region :?
Adult q monument to the
pure Oases Ames.
Q.-(To Col. Dodge Were your
roads common carriers?
A Entirely SO, Peter.
Q.-How much was coal meas.
ure worth close to your track, il
you had no interest in it?
A.-Not cent.
