There are no less than five members in

to their beds with the disease. There
are. in the district referred to on
the West side thirty families

are confied to their homes in a condition

Hill the progress of the epidemic has
been less marked, though some
fifty cases, Of more or less Sc

locality. South st. Paul, Newport and
the other small outlying towns are all
paying tribute TO the Unsuitable mlerobe,
the latter place reporting several vio-

than usual severity. The partiality
displayed by the disease for wearers of

the central force, 20 per cent of
which has either had the affection
or is at present struggling in the throes.
1t is particularly noticeable that the

the greater the severity of the attack.
Very few cases are diScOverable of chill

and the percentage of women who have
had the complaint is much less than
that OF men. In the Connemara dis

There are thirty-five known cases. and
doubtless many more in which the vic

the opinion that the disease will not
have run its course until warm weather
comes. The type of la grippe prevail

DENNIS HoFFMAN's STORY.
An Omaha Official Defends Ne

MeIche f. Cain, of Omaha, an ex-
official of the Cook county, Nebraska,
Jail, was in the city Yesterday, and had
his attention called by GLOBE reporter
to the recently made statements of the
man Chris Hoffman, now in this city, as
to the treatment he had received at the
hands of several of the jaiiers in the
above mentioned institution. Mr.. Cain
stated that he had not been connected
directly with the Jail for year past, but
added that he knew every member of
the Jail force more or less intimately,
and was in position to denounce the
story told by Hoffman as utterly false.
The system by which the jail is COLI
Quoted, he said, was such as to
preclude the possibility of any such
outrages being committed. Mr.. Cain
thought the papers of the Twin cities
were too prone to magnify anything oc-
curing in Nebraska, however trivial,
into an outrage. He remarked that
Omaha was not frontier town, that the
methods of city government i'll vogue
there were, if anything, an improve
ment of those of the metropolis of the
gopher state, and added that an inquiry
into the condition and management of

James n. Flkins, of SO Central ave-

temple with revolver of 50 calibre.
He retired to his room about O'Clock,

fatal shot. Hurrying 10 the room she
found her husband lying across the bed,
his brains OoZing from frightful wound
inflicted by the deadly weapon. DR..
Dorion, the family physician. was I'M
mediately summoned, but the victim
was past all assistance and died within
an hour. Coroner Quinn was called,
and decided that no inquest was neces-

Vanced i'll years, has been employed for
many years as cashier and bookkeeper
for the Northwestern Express, Stage
and Transportation company, entered
the company's service long before its
business was driven beyond the Mis-

years ago. His family was composed of
himself and wife, two children and his
wife's mother. Capt. Blakeley, presi-
dent of the stage company, states that
Elkin's relations with the company
were most cordial, that his books are in
the best of order and that he was in no
way embarrassed by his affairs with the
company. 1t is stated that the suicidal
act can be attributed only to domestic
troubles.

MEN WE MEET.

'Gil" NJ. Woodward, of La Crosse,
was a prominent visitor in the SANITY
City yesterday. Mr.. Woodward is
well known lawyer of La Crosse, and
SO popular that he was elected to con-
greSS several years ago from Republi-
can district. Three years ago he was
the Democratic candidate for governor
of Wisconsin and made splendid run
for the Office, giving jerry Rusk a
first-elass scare, at least.
Gen. T. FL. Barrett, the Farmers
alliance leader of the Fifth district,
dropped into the city yesterday
''iust to see how things were
rHnning,'' he said. Gen. Barrett was
the leader of the low-tariff wing of the
Republicans in the state convention of
1888, and. as a member Ct the platform
committee brought in very radi cal
minority report, advocating low tariff
and kindred reforms. The Republican
bosses have read him out of the party,
but the general declares that he will be
on deck next year. Gen. Barrett
served with distinguished honor during
the war, and is now running 1000
acre farm in Grant and Stevens coun-
ties. Enemies call Gen., Barrett a
crank; his frieuds consider him a man
of the highest principle and of just,
though radical views.

Printed His Tickets Wrong,


COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 9.-Congress-
man Thomas E. Miller, colored, Re-
publican from the Seventh District,
who was seated in place of Elliott,
Democrat, just before the adjourn
ment of Congress, and who received a
majority OF the votes cast at the recent
election, will be counted out by the
canvassing board. The cause of Mil
ler's loss Of his seat in Congress is that
he failed to have his ticket printed on
the paper and in the form and size
prescribed by the State law regulating
elections. The Law prescribes that the
ticket shall be of plain white paper,
five inches long and two and half
inches wide and containing nothing
superfluous, or they will not be legal,
Miller's tickets were printed on a
brownish paper smaller than the pre-
scribed size and contained "For Rep
resentatives" instead OF "Representa-
tive" the "for" in this case being con-
sidered as improper, as are the tickets
for Governor in Connecticut, Ellery
NJ. Bryant, who also ran on the Re-
publican ticket, but who fell far be-
hind Elliott, made the same error in
having his tickets printed. Elliotts
tickets were correct, but he fell far be-
hind Miller.
