winch L had MYSELF and although
some doctors and other persons
were very much exposed to it the
disease did not affect single citi-
zen, / know the majority Of physi-
clans think yellow fever is always
imported where it breaks out in
our latitude, but although a voice
in the desert, / can not concur in
that opinion. The yellow fever in
this zone has broken out in the
whole coast line from Florida to
Galveston and about Instantaneous
ly without that any importation
could be discovered. The disease
is certainly not contagious in the
common sense OF the word like
smallpox or scarlet fever, but is
confined to places below a certain
altitude above the sea and with de-
fined atmosphere conditions. We
are certainly above the altitude
in which Exceptionally however)
yellow fever has occurred, but we
have proved by the crucial test
that imported cases have not COM
municated the disease to any of
the citizens. . | have not
only seen yellow fever in those i'm
ported cases we had here, but in
lS47 in Houston where DR.. Segis-
mund "a druggist, but well read in
medicine and practicing physi-
cian) took me to his cases and we
examined together the black vomit

result. / sent DR.. Plaeger, who
was then himself reconvalescent
of the disease to his relatives near
Roeders mill in my returning
team and nowhere was there any
fever or contagion or suggestion of
quarantine. Again, / saw the
disease in New Orleans, and in
San Antonio | saw and treated Is

To this may add, (authentical
ly), that many years ago a genu-
Inc yollow fever case occurred in
this Menger hotel, DR.. Herff I'M
doubleday recollects same; the
patient died; was buried during
night time; his room fumigated,
whitewashed, and a new bed was
put In the room-and nobody in
the entire house ever knew word
about it, nor did any other person
get infected! And mind, those
days San Antonio was rather a
"swampy" place, the plazas and
streets were mere mudholes and
full of weeds with buzZards pray
ing on some dead animal, and
sanitary regulations OF the city
were in their in 'ancy. Look at
our city today! Fine paved streets
and plaZas with solid mesquite
blocks and elegant parks with
tropical plants and gardens with
graveled walks; the grandest
sanitary sewer and waterworks OF
the state with the best of artesian
drinking water, good hospitals
with experienced physicians, old
historic buildings in the rear OF
the most elegant modern improved
public institutions, etc. Tourists
need never be afraid OF our city as
a health resort; the very best re-
gulated city anywhere, has an &C.
casional epidemic OF measles, etc.,
but our fine climate surpasses all

Both men were drunk and went into

fined the heaviest.

A BLAZE AT ELMENDORF.
Residence of c. NJ. Rounds Destroyed
by Fire Yesterday

heSlueICe Oh y. NJ. hOunuS destroyed
by Fire Yesterday.
Mr.. c. NJ. Rounds, of Elmendorf, is
in the city. He reports that his two
story frame residence near Elmendorf
was destroyed by fire yesterday morn
ing about o'clock. He was awaken
ed by a cracking of boards caused by
the flames, although they did not es-
aroused the other occupants of the
house when the entire building was a
mass of flames. They were occupants
in the house, but none were caught in
the flames, although they did not es-
cape with much more than they had
on. The loss will amount to $1,000,
but is covered by insurance with San
Antonio agencies. The fire started on
the second floor, but how it originated
is not known. A barn which is not far
from the house, was saved by hard
work of Mr.. Rounds and friends, who
formed bucket brigade and kept the
barn constantly wet to prevent the
flames from spreading.

In The Penitentiary, Caught in The
Act of Making Money.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 1S.-Warden e.
S. Wright, of Riverside penitentiary.
has discovered that a number of con-
victs confined in that institution have
been manufacturing counterfeit 50
cent pieces He unearthed the metal
from which the queer" money was
made, moulds in which it was cast
and the names of several convicts con-
nected with the matter, but has been
unable to find the men who originated
and carried out the scheme. The
counterfeits were magnificent speci-
mems of the coiners' art. The dies from
which they were made were also per-
feet. and the milling of the coins, which
is the governments chief protection,
of metal money from those who would
immitate it, is near perfect as possible
for human ingenuity to make it, and
that such coins could be made within
the walls of a penitentiary with crude
implements to be obtained by the
prisoners is a startling feature of the
case. The counterfeiters had al
ready secured connection with outside
parties, and some of the bad money is
now in circulation. Warden Wright
has a list of nearly a score of convicts
and persons supposed to be connected
in the counterfeiting, and when the
full story of the crimes comes out it
is said there will be some sensational
developments.

SHORT STOPS.


The sanitary requirement made
by the city authorities are all
right but the failure OF the city to
shut off the sewerage emptying
into the river and bitches is seri-
ously commented upon.
Our citizens are urged to clean
up their premises in order to pre-
sent q neat appearance to strang-
ers. The stranger who leans over
one of our recently painted bridges
and looks at the river is likely to
stampede without taking a glance
at our back yards.
The stranger who happens to
tread any of our principal streets
outside ithe block pavements, for
instance, North Flores, will need a
cIothes-pin on his nose to protect
him from the stencil of stagnant
pools in the street.
1t is doubtful IL our residence
streets were ever in such horrid
condition. Of course a good deal
OF the trouble comes from the sew
er construction.
About sewer connections a great
many of. our people are anxiously
concerned. An ordinance passed
May 9th, '95, requires connections
to be made within sixty days from
com pletion of sewers, or be subject
to a fine of from $40 to $50. And
Tor every day the penalty is due.
This ordinance should be re-
pealed. 1t would require the SER
vices OF a thousand plumbers.
This ordinance if enforced would
send up plumbing work to an ex-
travagant figure.
What is needed is to close Off the
use of the river and streams for
private sewers. The cityA itself
must lead the way.
Now that we have got over the
suspicious case" the putting our
river and streams in a decent con-
dition should command attention.
Our streets will dry up, and our
vehicles bump along as usual.

The Florence tribune., 1897-10-16

THE following argument in favor of government ownership of natural monopolies has been furnished by no less an authority than Ex-President Harrison, in an interview in the New York World; "0f special importance are the safeguards to be thrown about the granting of franchises to promoters of great schemes for the public service. In this respect, there are valued lessons to be learned from later foreign experi- ments. Some of the principal cities of Scotland have assumed each the con- trol of its street railway systems and it's lighting plants as we'll as it's water works. The result of this public own ership of grea. enterprises has been ex. ceedingly satisfactory and instructive, I am inclined to consider municipal ownership as the best means to secure to the people the cheapest and best service. Of course, the effects of com. petition between private enterprises are not to be lost sight of as far as they increase quality and lower prices. But the usual methods of selling franchise. outright or in receiving for them g royalty seldom give to the people more than tithe of what the people them selves later return. The bigger tn, price, the larger the royalty and the greater the cost of ride or gas jet It is a species of tax"

THE Republicans attempt to convict the Prescott Courier of inconsistency beeanse the foreman of the lstter's printing office advocated the election of Buckey o'Neill is. to say the least, Imaginable. Any one acquainted w;sh that foreman, Honest Tom Shultz, knows that no man can "vote h.an.'' And, by the way, that is the one great grievance the common people have against such newspapers as the Repub- lican and the cause it represents. They would eliminate manhood and make the employe subservient in every respect to the will of his employer. That such condition existed il the last election is now generally admisted, or at least there were sufficient num-
 Der of purchasable or cowerdly scala
 wags amoug the working men O; the
 country to decide the election. It is from
 that melancholy fact that thoughtful
 men predict the downfall of the republic
 and it's free institutions.
