Chinese LeprOsv in Oregon


1t has been three years now since the
first complaint was made relative to
the unsafe manner in which the Chinese
lepers are imprisoned at the county
poor farm, and Tuesday the grand jury
for the first time, called attention to
the matter. 1t is burning shame. the
frail manner in which the lepers are in
closed and the only wonder is that
many people are not affected with the
disease. Any person who will take the
trouble to call at the county poor farm
will see Mt once the necessity of most
rigidly guarding these pests. There
are Chinese lepers there in all stages
of decomposition, from those who are
first afflicted with the great yellow
spots on their faces and bodies to those
whose toes and fingers are dropping
off. There are lepers in that Enclosure
from whose bodies chunks of flesh are
almost virtually hanging. and they are
the most horrible looking objects ever
seen. Occasionally getting tired of their
confinement, they crawl over the fence
and walk into the city, leaving behind
them in their trail the slime of their
disease, which COWS are liable to take
into their sytems. aud thus through
their milk transmit the disease to those
who unfortunately purchase the fluid

ATCHIsON, KAN, Jan. 6.-Fire started this
afternoon in the woodwork in the kitchen of
the AtchisOn union depot and crept up the
lathwOrk to the mansard floor where the hotel
apartments were located. Here it burned
furiously, and although the entire fire Je-
partment was called out the flames spread
steadily aud soon the entire roof of the build
ing was roaring blaze. Hundreds of men
joined in the work of salvation and managed
10 save the depot fixtures, tickets, baggage
and express and mail matter and a great
part OF the hotel furniture but the entire
building was ruined except one corner where
the express offices were located. The walls
are standing but so badly injured that they
Will have to he taken down.
The fire began at 2l5 in the center of the
house, spreading each way. Had the alarm
been given probably the result might have
been different but the kitchen employees tried
to eXtinguish the blaze with buckets until it
was too late, when they telephoned the fire
department.
The depot company has $50, 900 insurance
IN local agencies. The house was opened for
business in September, 1880, and was erected
at cost of about 500, 900. 1t occupied q
iull halI block OF ground and was 30 feet
long by 100 wide, being the largest and hand
soonest passenger depot in Kansas and the
pride OF the community. Mr.. Merrill presi-
dent OF the depot company arrived from ST
