Both are milkmen.
The revival meetings at the nj. T..
church still continue and although the

attractions yet they hope for good results
Does it not seem little risky to take
the smallpox patients up Main street, the
middle of the day, passing people on the
street with the wind blowing as hard as it
did to-day? We should think it was.
The funeral of Christopher Altz occurred
at O'Clock this afternoon from the resi-
dence of his son, the Rev. III. d Clark
officiating. A large number of friends of
the family followed the remains to the city
of the dead, their last resting place. Mr.
Altz. who died of paralysis of the heart,
was born in Germany, coming to this city
in 1852, and had reached the ripe old age
of 6S at the time of .his death.
Treasurer Grantz reports $205. II in his
possession for the Rhine sufferers, from
the following sources: Turner society,
$50; First ward committee, $31.25; Third
ward committee, $S7 SO, and the Fifth
ward $50 80. As these are only partial
reports, with two wards and South Moliue
to hear from, we may expect the amount
largely increased. 1t is thought that $500
can be raised
VIM. Frazier and family were the vic
TINS of a very pleasant surprise last even
ing. A sleigh load of friends dropped in
upon them, and music having been pro-
vided, dancing was participated in until
the wee sma' hours 1t was intended more
as a surprise upon couple of lady friends
who were visiting with them, and was
decided success.
Poormaster Stevens thought that DR..
McKinnie had better go in and see the
young lady patient now that the other
doctor has gone He did not propose to
go unless well compensated therefor DO
you, as poormaster, send meT' says the
doctor No. Mr.. stevens replied. "All
right, don't CO." says the doctor, and
drives off. He did not propose to 60 in
aad examine lady who was supposed to
have varioloid, even if he was president of
the board of health, when another M. d.
was paid for doing that work.
No occupants of the cooler" for some
time, and no wonder. A person compelled
to tarry there over night should have his
fine remitted the next day, and be given
prize. The question is asked continually
why not have decent sort of a place
in which to keep man when under arrest.
The fact is it's disgrace to the city, and
while it probably answers for tramps, yet
for decent person, it is horrible medi-
cine to take"
SMALLPOX PATIENTS REMOVED.
