Council Meeting.
under an

A special meeting Of the city council
was held at the recorders Office last
night for the purpose of taking steps to
prevent the spread of smallpox. The
full council was present, with the excep-
ton of the mayor. Councilman Nolan
was elected chairman pro tenn. It was
ordered that the persons in the Obarr
building, where the patient is, be re-
moved with their beds and bedding to
tee on health and police was given full
power to act in all matters necessary to
prevent the spread of the disease and
protect the public health.
On motion adjourned.

Discussing the Matter.

A number of the citizens Lying on the
bluff and especially those who live with
in few blocks of the pest house, met
the committee on police and health, at
the council chambers this afternoon.
They were disposed to protest against
having the pest house used by those now
quarintined in the Obarr house. DIR.
Eshelman, chairman OF the committee,
presided and professional opinions were
given by Drs. Doane, Sutherland and
Shackelford concerning the contagious
ness of small pox. They all agree that a
distance of twenty feet is sufficient to
render one safe from contagion, that the
disease is not disseminated through the
air, but its germs may be carried il
clothing, etc. They were unanimous il
stating that the use of the pest house
which is more than 100 feet from any
building could not in any way jeopardist
the health of anyone. 1t is quite prob
able they say, that none of the quaran
tined persons have the disease.
The meeting had not adjourned at thii
writing, but It is a fair presumption tina
the citizens on the hill will make n,
further objection to the pest house being
used for the purposes for which it wa
built.

A Smallpox Scare.

There is naturally considerable excite
ment over a case of smallpox being in
the city, and with it much unreasoning
and unreasonable fear. Rumor, the
forked-tongued old jade, has been hark-
ing on her dogs, until the 1901 tales of
Scherezade are a mere bagatelle. In
some portions of the city, according to
the tales, there are six new cases of ma
lignant, continent smallpox; everybody
might one-half the town will be engaged
in burying the other half.
The simple truth is, there is one case
Of smallpox, and in the same building
pm the lower floor, the patient being up
stairs, are six other persons, who will be
removed tonight to the pest house. So
far as known, there has been no one ex-
posed since the case was known to be
smallpox, and of those exposed before
there is little or no danger of their taking
it. The six persons in quarantine have
all been vaccinated, and with proper
care there is no need of their being an
other case.

lists nearly all the time. Puget Sound
has been having it in almost continually
for the past six months. They also for
get that science has made wonderful
strides of late years, and that the small
pox is no longer disease the end Of
which is death. Scarlet fever and diph-
liberia are infinitely more deadly, and
the mild-mannered grippe more danger
GUS. We do not believe there will be
another case of it; but in the meantime
the most rigid quarantine should be en-
forced, and every precaution taken tt
not ONLY prevent its spread, but tc
stamp it out. At the same time let oul
people quit trying to scare each other tc
death, and in few days the whole mat
ter will be settled.

They Won't Have 1t.

Dufur has the smallpox scare pretty
badly. Mr.. Peabody, who was working
at the Obarr house the day the case of
smallpox was discovered, went home to
Dufur, and in consequence when the
citizens there found that he had been
exposed, they quarantined him and his
family. This was wise precautionary
measure, but there is little probability
of Mr.. Peabody being infected. The
disease is contagious, it is true, before
the eruptive stage, but only SO in very
slight degree. However, ten-days
quarantine, while inconvenient to Mr..
Peabody, will soon pass away, and then
the community will feel safe.

Details of the accident are very

and was being pushed to attain the
speed Of 30 knots. Suddenly one of
big hot water pipes burst with
the pressure. and covered them
all with the soalding water. The men
wore only thin shirt above the waist

were practically parboiled. The light

was going by and the men were placed

New YORK, July l6.-The Evening
Post prints resume Of the negotia-

stating that the laws Of Minnesota,

stand that the principal participants
in the guarantee syndicate do not like
to give up the expected large
profits, and that they are endeavoring.
though recognizing the necessity of
abandoning the London project, to &C.
complish the purpose in another way.
At their instance, lawyers are studying
the question Of forming . third com.

THE IRON MARKET.

Transactions Somewhat Lighter but
Values Keep Up.
CHICAGO, July 18.-The Industrial
World says: Iron and steel in this
market, Notwithstanding the somewhat
lighter transactions, continues to dis
play great strength as regards values,
which are fully maintained in all
branches. Orders for material, while
quite numerous, are not so large as
they were in June. Owing to oversold
condition of coke furnaces in this vicin-
ity, agents are not offering any iron
and are not disposed to accept any
large orders at present. Structural
material is active, and. as elevated
roads are rapidly pushing extensions
further, large orders will be placed
shortly
