TO SUPPRESS SCARLET FEVER
Suggestion for SuppressiDg Its Spread
Offered by a Mother.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The column article about scarlet fever
which appeared in Saturdays Eagle,
sent a thrill Of apprehension to every
mothers heart. Several carle.s readers
got the impression that there were twen-
ty-six cases at the present time.
Now, the mental condition induced by
fear is bad enough, but carelessness and
ignorance in regard to the contagious
diseases is worse. The average mother
knows but little Of the precautions that
should be taken to prevent the spread Of
the disea.e. The unseen germs Of scar
let fever, which even the microscope
fails to detect, are Of the most insidious
character. They Turk in all kinds OF
places, and hide in everything. They
cling ten9ciously to the clothing of the
attendants, to the walls, to the furniture,
and the undisturbed germs have been
known to communicate the disease af-
ter an interval Of one or two years.
In view Of these facts-and any repu-
table physician will admit them-it will
be also admitted that the way to sup
press the disease, lies in the proper
fumigating of the house where cases ex-
ist, and in exercising the greatest care
in communicating with people outside
the house.
Visiting intimate friends, grand par
ents. who go pityingly back and forth
from their own house. to those Of the
patients, may run no risk for themselves,
but they scatter in their wake a trail of
Infection more to be AIDED than that
Of smallpox.
1 do not know what sanitary measures
the doctors advise. nor whose business
it to see that they are properly carried
out. Any ordinary methods is not
enough. The most rigorous methods OF
disinfection during the progress of the
disease and afterwards, enforced under
the supervision Of competent physi-
clan or officer, is necessary. l do not
say this is not done; but I knew of a
case three years ago, where it was not,
and that il good reason to suspect that
there will be more. Let each physician
advise his own practice as to the best
means of prevention. How many cases
of the fever are nursed in carpetless,
curtanless rooms? How many of the at
tendants are az careful a. they should be
in their intercourse with the rest OF the
family?
A nigh authority in Homeopathy ad-
vises as a preventive, Belladonna, the
first OF second dilUtion, given night and
morning to the unaffected in doses Of
one drop. Let some disinterested ply
stefan advise a better-if ne knows one.

Blades of 219 Ellis avenue, was very
pleasantly surprised by her teacher and

neat invitations had been sent out, ac-
cording to which the party assembled at
the home of Mabel Petty, al 123 Fannie
avenue. At 100 the young folks pro-
ceeded to Miss Grace'S nome, and, headed
by her teacher walked quietly up to the
front door and knocked for admission.
The door was opened by Mrs. Blades,
who received the party pleasantly and
soon all were seated in the coZy parlor,
awaiting the appearance Of Grace, who
soon came in from the dining ROOM The
surprise was complete. The enjoyment
OF the evening consisted of social games.
singing and instrumental music. Mrs.
Blades and Grace know how TO entertain
and they spared no effort to make 1t a
pleasant evening for all present. AT
about 1880 excellent refreshments were
served, consisting of variety OF choice
fruits and cake and coffee Some splen-
did in strumental music was rendered by
Mrs. Friedman and Mr.. Walker. Grace

PLANS OF PACKE Frs
PROPOSITION TO REOPEN WHIT
TAKER PLANT.

Dir. Il. Rope Brown, of London. Represent
ings Company of English Capitalists, is
Here on a Tour of Investigation Anent
the Proposition to Reinvest and Open
the Francis Whitaker Packing House
In This City-Probabie That the Plant
VIII be Ready for Operation by
February 1st
Some months ago the Eagle published
upon reliable authority, the statement
that the Whitaker packing plant would
soon be put into operation again. The
rumor became current that Mr. Whit
taker would transfer the major part Of
his packing interests here from Omaha
and Cincinnati. Others had il that he
had leased the plant, while still later re-
ports were that the plant had been sold
and was entirely out OF Mr.. Wnittaker's
hands, and would be opened by new
management. Just now company %
London capitalists, of which Mr.. K.
Hope Brown, Jr., is member and repre-
sentative, is considering the proposition
10 take hold Of the plant. Mr.. Brown is
here and has been considering the mat
ter since Sunday. Yesterday ne went
out 10 the Whitaker plant in company
with Mr.. Oak Davidson of the Kansas
National bank The company Mr..
Brown represents is ready 10 furnish the
capital 10 re-invest the plant and start
IL up ar full blast as soon as informed
IN Iva 4 hat hp
ed from the yards company, the rail-
roads for shipping facilities and from
the city.
Nothing Of detail has been determined
upon as yet that viii De given out, but
men Who are in a position to know con-
fidently assert that there is no doubt
that the plant Will Zoe in shape by Feb
Tuary first 10 double the number of hogs
and cattle that Wichita has heretofore
been able 10 take care of for shippers.
Hereto shippers have gone 10y Wich-
ita t" Kansas City or Chteago for fear
of fin3ing the market supplied here.
Notwithstanding the fact that the Doli
plant Is very large concern and en-
ploys a big force of men, it mas been inn
possible always to take care Of the
large shipments Of hogs and cattle that
come through Wichita from all over
southern Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
and the very fear that the market would
be supplied here mas sent men on through
or has caused shippers 10 bill through
or go around the town.
1t is said that not less than $1,000
will be put into the Whitaker concern
If the London gentlemen ultimately de-
eide 60 take hold of it, which is at this
time reasonably assured.
Mr.. Brown seems quite well pleased
with the city, and as far as the source
OF supply liz the country round there is
To need TO suggest its consideration in
the matter Of carrying out packers
proposition.
The re-opening of the Whitaker plant
signifies even more than the Eagles
claim on Sunday morning that Wichita
was entering substantially upon an en-
larged field Of progress.

At last nights meeting Of the council,
Charles Daniels handed in mis- resigna-
ton and Mayor Ross appointed to i'll
his place as councilman from the Third
ward, W H. Heroig. Mr.. Daniels has
lately moved from the First ward 70 the
Third, having bought the Reese home

the First ward.
Councilman Reese said that last spring
Wichita had sold 10 the city Of SILVIA

had failed to receive the amount Still
water had agreed to pay. The authori-
ties had been notified and it was learned
that a warrant had been issued for the
amount of the purchase but had 6een
lost. The Saltwater people wanted an
indemnity bond to insure that city
against loss in case the warrant should
De found, and they would issue another.
Councilman j. Giles Smith thought the
city ought to be able to give hundred

one of her horses legs and started him
when he became frightened and ran
away, tearing UP the buggy and harness
and injuring Mrs. Bennett to the
amount of $500.
Some considerable general discussion
followed upon the work OF the new
street sweeper. Mr.. Reese thought that
about the most Objectionable feature
was the long streaks Of mud left along
in the cutters in front of the stores and
which was left there some times for a
day or two. Mr.. Daisy explained that
VIVA tever might be the disadvantage 1t
saved water, which was saving to the
city and of la Dor to the men.
An ordinance was passed appropriate

ceived on contract for putting in

extending formal welcome to their dis
tinguished guest, who had already been
individually welcomed by every one in
the pavilion. When Mr.. Bryan arose
there was another great demonstration,
men jumping on chairs and cheering,
women waving handkerchiefs and hon
nets, and it was five minutes before the
speaker could begin He received a
hearing so attentive that it was almost
breathless. His auditors were lavish of
applause and no point he made passed
unrewarded. Bryan's voice was not
hoarse, but was husky, and although all
could hear. his exhausted vocal chords
gave no ringing notes. Except for his
voice, he appeared to be in excellent
form and his hearers seemed too alb
sorbed to criticize. At no meeting in
San Francisco during the last campaign
was such personal enthusiasm dis
played, and Mr.. Bryan was plainly i'm
pressed by his reception. He spoke for
an hour and half, thus concluding his
fourth long address today.
Mr. Bryan began his speech by saying
that although the Democratic party
seemed to be considered as dead by it's
a pretty live one. He said he was will
ing to wipe out the old score on account
of the hearty welcome given him, which
spoke well for the future election.
He spoke in detail on bimetallism,
following in sequence the remarks of
this afternoon.
He touched upon the Gresham law
and said that many people did not know
what the Gresham law meant, but SIM
ply quoted some Gresham without
knowing whether this law was made by
the late secretary of state or some other
Gresham. He explained the absurdity
of people trying to dispose of the clipped
dollars and holding on to the full weight
dollar.
Speaking of the claims of the oppon-
ents of silver that the white metal woult.
be worthless should we have free silver,
he said that in Nebraska he owned five
acres of land, and that when the time
came he would disclose a secret which
hitherto he had kept, and tell where
these five acres We're, and give them to
the public for a dumping ground, for
they would hold all the silver of this vast
country.
Mr.. Bryan leaves via San Jose and
Sacramento en- route to the east.

An ANALYSIS of the final vote shows
that the affirmative, waa cast by 95. Re-
publicans, two Silver Republicans, Jones
of Nevada and Mantle, and one Demo-
crat, McEnery-total, 3S.
The negative vote was cast by 25 DEM
ocrats, two Populists, Harris of Kan
sas and Turner, and one Silver Republi-
can, Cannon-total, 2S.
Eight Republicans were paired for the
bill and eight Democrats against 1t.
The senators present and not voting
were: Populists, five, viz: Allen, Butler,

publicans two, viz: Teller and Petit

Following the passage of the bill q
resolution was agreed to asking the
house for a conference, and Senator
Allison, Aldrich, Platt of Connecticut
Burrows, Jones of Nevada, Vest, Jones
of Arkansas and White were named as
conferees on the part of the senate.
| The tariff debate began May 25th, on
which day Mr.. Aldrich, on behalf of the
finance committee, made the opening
statement on the bill. The actual con-

rowed to the consideration of rates and
schedules rather than general princi-
pes. Aldrich's illness took him from the
chamber after the first day, and sincs

diate charge of Allison. The opposition

The bill. as it goes to the house, re-
enacts the antitrust sections of the
Wilson act, while the reciprocity and

for those of the house.
One of the most important new pro-
visions added by the senate is that plac-
ing stamp tax on bonds, debentures
and certificates of stock. Aside from
these more important changes, the bill
as it goes back to the house has S74
amendments of various degrees of i'm
portance, which must be reconciled be-
tween the two branches of congress.
