One of the biggest sensations over a
case of smallpox that has occurred in
Chicago for years developed at the
health office on the 18th, when fieshy
young man with PIN pied face entered
and announced that he had the small
pox. Health Commissioner Wicker
sham was recently vaccinated, but the
announcement sent the other occu-
pants of the Office flying outside
helter-skelter. The young man was
at once taken into the vault by DR..
Wickersham and DR.. Montgomery, and
examined. Their decision was that it
was q genuine case of smallpox. and
the patient was kept in the vault. The
ambulance was ordered to convey the
man to the smallpox hospital. DIR.
WiSkersham issued an order that every
member OF the health department
should at once be vaccinated.
The patient is Oscar Beck, a bartend-
er. who has been working regularly in
William Hessemer's saloon, POT Clark
Street, in the very heart of the city.
Last Wednesday he felt i'll, and Thurs
day fever appeared. He continued
work, however, until Thursday night.
Then the rash on his face appeared and
began to develop rapidly. He went
into the Office OF DR.. n. s. Davis, Jr.,
and as there were q great many other
patients ahead OF him, he was COM
PEELED to sit there two hours be-
fore seeing the doctor, thus ex-
posing all the patients. Young
DIR. Davis suspected that it was
smallpox and called in DR.. Davis, ST.,
who confirmed his opinion. The Drs.
Davis, SO Mr.. Beck says, told HIM to GO
to the health Office for a further di.
agnosis and did not take the precau.
ton of OBTAINING the man in the Office
and sending for one of the city's med.
ical inspectors. When Beck left he
was puzzled whether to go to the
health Office and be conveyed to the
pest house, or run the risk of escaping
that unpleasant prospect. For nearly
two hours he roamed around the streets
and then concluded that he had better
do as ne had been told.

with having made fraudulent use of the
files of hat office, has been referred to

ton as may be deemed necessary. 1t is
impossible to learn the precise character
of the evidence against Hussey, but it is
understood that the recent investigation
of his office disclosed the fact hat official
information concerning pension cases
pending had been improperly furnished
outside parties. Solicitor Hepburn re-
fused point blank to discuss the matter
and will rot even admit hat he knows
anything whatever of the case. Hussey

The Atkins Assault.


DENVER, July 30.-The brutal and
cowardly assault made On Col. John Ar
kins, manager of the Rocky Mountain
Netos ON Monday evening by JEFF, alias
"Soapy," Smith, a notorious confidence
man, has its original cause in the warfare
which the Netcs has for months been
making on the dives aud criminal classes
and corrupt municipal machine which has
SO long dominated Denver politics. Early
last fall the Nelos exposed and denounced
the corruptions in the police department.
showing that it was in league with thieves
and gamblers and confidence men and
courtesaus for the purpose of personal
gain and political power.
Last January the Neios assumed strong
ground in favor of the Sunday closing of
saloons and also announced hat hence
forth in all local elections it would ignore
partisan politics. In maintaining these
positions the Neics has succeeded in com
polling the late Legislature to pass a high
license law and to so amend the city char
ter that the saloons became punishable
under the laws of the state for keeping
open on Sunday. The vigorous and sue
cessful demands for the enforcement of
the law has drawn upon the Neios and
Monager Arkips the intense hatred of the
entire dive element of the city. Follow
ing up this policy the paper has been ex-
posing the manner in which confidence
men have been allowed to ply their voca-
ton 10 and about the city. and on Mon
day morning in a column article it
showed up "Soapy" Smith in an espe-
cially graphic manner.
This article is the alleged immediate
cause of the assault on the manager of the
NelrS, but that it was urged on and insti-
gated by the saloon and dive element
there is every reason to believe and much
evidence on which the assertion can be
made. About 7 o'clock last evening
Smith and one of his friends known as
Banjo Parker went to the NeioS build
ing and took up their position in the
shadow near the main entrance to the
elevator. In a few minutes Col. Atkins
came down and started to step into a car
rage in waiting in which was the assistant
secretary of state. Just as he stepped out
OF the door Smith spoke to him. and, as
Atkins turned to see who it was, Smith
struck him over tie left temple with a
loaded cane. knocking him to the pave
ment senseless.
He then belabored him over the head
and kicked him in the side several times.
Parker stood over Smith to protect him
while engaged in his brutal work, which
occupied but a momen or two, when
both men fed. The Colonel was carried
to a drug store near by and upon ex
animation by physicians it was found his
skull was quite badly fractured The
injured mans wounds were dressed, and
after regaining consciousness he was taken
to his home, where he rested easily during
the night and to day. No one is per
mitted to see him. His physicians to-
night report him doing well and in a fair
way to be out OF danger in a few days.
Smith was arrested late last night and at
a preliminary trial to day he waived ex-
animation and was bound over in the sum
of 50. 500.

Dissatisfied Indians.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The commits
sioner of Indian affairs received a report
to day from Special Agent Krebs an
.nouncing the refusal of the Indians on
Devils lake reservation in Northern Da-
kota to receive the allotments in severalty
as. contemplated in the general allotment
act of 1887. The matter of paying taxes
was their greatest objection. They were
told they would have no tax to pay on the
land before the expiration of twenty five
years, and this was fully explained to
them but they could not be ~reconcilcd to
paving tax even on personal property.
Other questions we're brought up by
the Indians. They alleged that by error
in the interior lines OF the survey on the
western boundary of the reservation o.
600 acres of land were taken from them
for which they should receive pay. The
error in the survey of the reservation
boundary lines in 1873 complained of was
referred to in the annual report of the
commissioner of Indian affairs for 1887
and the claim for compensation for the
loss of the GA. 900 acres was in the iudg
ment of the commissioner a Just one. No
action in the matter, however, has yet
been taken by congress.

SAN Francisco, July 30.-The steam
err Dora, arrived from Behring sea last
night, brings the first detailed news of
the capture of the British sealer Black
Diamond by the United States revenue
cutter Richard Rush. On July IL the
Rush overlook the Black Diamond and
ordered her to heave to. Capt. Shep-
hard and Lieut.. futile boarded the Eng
fish craft and asked for her papers. The
officers of the Black Diamond offered no
armed resistance, but refused to deliver
the ships papers. Capt. Sheppard broke
open the cabin, forced the hinges off the
strong box and the captains chest, there
by securing the papers. A search of the
vessel disclosed lO3 sealskins taken in the
Behring sea. Capt. Sheppard placed "A
non commissioned officer from the Rush
in charge of the Black Diamond and or
dered the vessel taken to Sitka.
The captain of the Black Diamond
made a statement that when in Victoria
he had been ordered to pay no atten-
ton in case he was overtaken and re-
uuested to heave to. He said he would
not have surrendered if the Rush had
had an inferior force to that of his own.
A passenger who arrived here last night
on the steamer Dora said: "On our way
down from st. Paul's island we saw six
~sealcrs and the Rush closely in pursuit.
We left s. Paul's island July IA, and on
the following day saw the Rush in pur-
suit of prey. Undoubtedly by this time
the Rush has made additional captures.

Heavy Failure in Boston.

BosToN, July 30.-E. and A. Il.
Batchelder & Co.. among the largest boot
and shoe houses IN Boston, assigned to-
day. Assets and liabilities unknown.
Batchelder states the liabilities are ST.
$50. 900 with nominal assets about the
same. Four-ffths of the Indebtedness is
to banks and individuals. The firm is some
of long standing and the failure creates
great surprise.
Boston, July 30.-The failure of the
boot and shoe firm of A. Bachelor & Co.,
OF Boston and North Brookfeld was an
nounced this morning, liabilities 81, O00,-
900 and nominal assets probably about
the same amount. The assignment has
been made for the benefit of creditors,
Thomas K Proctor and Robert Bachelor
of North Brook6eld and a meeting of
creditors will be called as o as a defiD-
lite statement from the firm can be pre-
pared. The firm is one of the Oldest in
Its line in the country, the business hav-
ing been established in North Brookfield
in 1919. The factory at North Brook
field is n of the largest and best
equipped in the country and gives en-
ployment to LOO hands. calling for a
weekly pay roll of over $4,000. This is
the only industry of the town and the
failure will be a heavy blow.
This was one Of the ten firms in Wor-
cester county hat had a long contest with
the Knights of Labor in 1887 lasting some
five months, and this struggle, which re-
suited in favor of the manufacturers, was
very expensive and undoubtedly contrib
uted directly or indirectly to the present
embarrassment. The immediate cause of
the failure is the large loss made by A.
II. Bachelors outside business and the
fact OF recent large failures in the leather
trade followed by Lewis Bros failure,
added to the i'll health of the senior mem
Der of the firm having rendered 1t difficult
to obtain money on the firm commercial
paper. 1t is undoubtedly true that the
manufacturing business of the firm has
been profitable and this makes it likely
hat the business will be resumed under
arrangement between the firm and
its creditors.
