TYPHOID SCARE At PRESTON
EPIDEMIC HAS CAUSED LARGE
NUMBER OF DEATHS.
Public Meeting Held to Devise Ways
and Means For Checking the Dis
ease-Prcbable Cause.
(saecie1 to The Herald.

Logan, Oct 22-The epidemic of ty-
phoid fever in Preston, Ida, which was
mentioned in The Herald some time
ago, has assumed large proportions and
appears TO be of the most fatal kind.
A large number OF deaths have oc-
Cured of late, and residents of the
town have become thoroughly alarmed.
President Parkinson of Oneida stake,
who resides in Preston, called public
meeting to consider the matter, and, II
possible, devise means of checking the
fatal malady. 1t was decided to call in
a commission of doctors TO make an
investigation and suggest a remedy.
Drs. o. S. Ormsby, W. B. Parkinson
and E. G. Gowans of this city have
been engaged to act with DR.. Adamson
of Richmond and Drs. Montrose and
Garfield of Preston. in trying to ascer-
tain the cause of the fever.
The physicians here believe the COM
plant originated in the water, as of
late years a depth of from eight to ten
feet has been sufficient to obtain wa
ter. whereas before general irrigation
was practiced in that locality, from 40
TO 80 feet was the usual depth necessary
to dig before securing water. Samples
of this surface water have been sent
for and will be analyzed here. The
doctors go to Preston on their visit of
inspection on Tuesday.

VIEWS OF SPECIALISTS.
DO Not Think the Plague Will Spread
at Vienna.

London, Oct 22-The Observers Ber-
lin correspondent says that leading
specialists there are of the opinion that
there is no danger of an outbreak OF
the bubonic plague in Vienna. Pro-
fessor Rudolph Virchow, the CORE
srondent says, points out that the
germs OF the disease are contagious,
but not infectious. This favorable fac
tor. however, should not be permitted
to hind the authorities TO the danger.
The sole means of protection, Professor
Virchow says, is cleanliness, careful
ness and watchfulness.
DR. Oehler. director of the board of
health, believes there is no danger OF
the spread of the disease.
Professor Leyden explains that arti-
fioially raised bacilli do not possess the
strength Of natural bacill, and says
that hitherto laboratory cases have not
proved contagious.
The Clinical Review asserts that the
outbreak of the plague must not be eX-
plotted against the scientific investiga-
ticn of bacilli.

Roads-Fish and Game Increasing.
(srecial to The Herald)
washington, Oct. 22.-Captain James
B. Erwins report on the care and pro-
lection of the Yellowstone National
park from Nov. 10, 1897, to Sept. 80, 1898,
was given out at the interior depart
ment today It points out the neces-
sity for increased appropriations for
opening new roads through the park
and for the maintenance of roads al
ready constructed. He says the $4,000
annual appropriation hardly suffices to
keep the roads in proper condition for
the heavy travel over them. Captain
Erwin recommends the construction of
a road from the canyon to Yancey's by
the lower or easterly trail. at cost
of $45, ,000. He also recommends a Spe-
cific appropriation of $60.000 for the
construction of road from Yancey's S
to the Mammoth Hot Springs. The
distance is 20 miles.
Captain Erwin renews the recon-
mendation of his predecessor for the
inclusion of the forest reserve on the
east and south in the park proper.
The report says that game, fish and
fUr-bearing animals are plentiful and
most of them are increasing in num-
bers. The number of visitors from
June l to Sept. 80 was 1854. as COM
pared with 1850 in the summer of
1897.

MINER ORDERED TO LEAVE
COEUR DALENE SHIFT-BOSS
GIVEN THREE DAYS.
Was Visited By Masked Men, Armed
With Revolvers, Who Threatened
to Dispose of Him If He I'D Not.

Wallace. Ida. Oct 22-When Dan
Connor, shift boss at the Big Standard
mine, came out last night to the dry
room to eat his midnight supper, he was
met by four masked men armed with
revolvers, who ordered him to get out
of the country within a hours. He
pleaded that he was d married man
with wife and children at Gem and
could not get them away iii so short
time without immense secrihces and
asked for a week in which to comply
with the demands. After some parley-
ing he was granted three days, with the
threat that if he was not out in that
time they would dispose of him, his
wife and children, cleaning the family
out root and branch. Mr.. COnnor in
mediately came to Wallace to arrange
to leave the country, OF which he has
been resident for many years and
where he has always been known as =
law-abiding citizen. II is said that he
was ordered TO leave because he had
discharged some men who were not do
ing their work in a satisfactory man
ner. He says that in the light of pre-
vious events in that section there
seemed no other course for him to pur-
sue except TO gather his family and
flee. The country has dwelt in peace
so long that this affair comes with
more than the usual shock.

PlNeREE's PROCLAMATION.

Michigan Legislature sunamonsd to Rem.

LAHsNa, Mich, March 9.-Gover.
nor Fngree has issued proclamation
convening the Legislature in extra ses-
sion March a. The proclamation cites
provisions Of the state constitution
under which the Legislature 10 required
to provide q uniform rule Of taxation,
all assessments to be on property at its
cash value.
Continuing, the governor charges
that tho spirit If not the letter of these
constitutional provisions is being vio-
lated, laws having been passed by
which express, telephone and telegraph
companies, now owning at least
third Of the property within tho state,
are required to pay only about one
twenty.Gxth part Of the taxes. Gov
ernor Pingree urges that taxation in
many parts Of the state has become in
the nature Of confiscation and that the
situation has become unbearable.

Feeling IN Higher 0molal Circles That
the Situation Il More Favorable.
WAsH1NoToN. March 9.-In spite Of
the continuation Of the preparations
now In progress on large scale to put
tho country in . state Of defense and Of
the outbursts Of patriotic spe eches in
congress-, thore was certain feeling
apparent in tho best informed circles
that the situation as to our relations
with Spain is much moro favorable
than for several days past. Perhaps
the semi.ofhoial advices received from
Madrid, indicating peaceful purpose
on the part Of the Spanish government,
contributed in large measure to that
feeling, or it may have been the grow.
ing knowledge Of the vast extent of our
own resources tended to the belief that
they would impress others with the
futility Of attacking the United States.
However that may be tho feeling
seemed to be general.

It is the prevailing opinion that the
three tramways on the Dyea trail were
planned more for speculation than for
actual service. OF course the proud and
naughty packers hate them as his ga.
tanic majesty hates holy water.
Tho Dalton Trail.
The Dalton trail from Pyramid har.
Dor along Chilkat inlet and the Klahuna
river and thence up gradual incline Of
about 8, 900 feet around the Chilkat pass
to Dalton g house is considered by many
the best way to get into the interior. I
have just seen a man who came out over
the Dalton trail last month. He says he
found no difficulty on account of steep
grades, but in many places fallen trees
seriously interfered with his passage.
"There were three of u.s." he said,
"and, although we were packed light,
1t was no easy tramp, I assure you. We
slept out of doors and in sleeping bags
mostly and did not suffer greatly from
cold. But my paok-well, I would have
sworn it weighed 100 pounds. When I
got to Pyramid harbor, the first thing !
did was to weigh it. And what do you
think? Why, the whole thing weighed
only 18 pounds.
"Why it u.s." he continued, II am
unable to say, but there is something
about the trip-the air or the monotony,
I am unable to say whioh-that tries
ones patience awfully. I have seen a
man get into frenzy because he STUN
bled over rock or fallen tree, or
perhaps the constant tapping against the
body Of something slung on his back
would seem to drive him wild with
rage. Partnerships have been dissolved,

"Yes, just as soon as can get stock

in selling clothing to miners than there
is in mining itself, although I have q

By the way, we met Judge MCGUIRE,
who was on his way to Dawson City, as
we came out. The judges first criminal

Speaking Of crime, the lawlessness in

Nebraska MAXIMUM Freight rate Law
Kpookad Out.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The %.
preme court rendered an opinion in the
Nebraska maximum freight rate case.
The opinion was handed down BY JUS
tice Harlan. who held the Nebraska law
to be contrary to the Fourteenth amend.
ment in that it authorized the taking
Of property without due process of law,
and was therefore invalid. Hence the
railroads won.
This case was instituted to test the
validity Of . hw passed BY the Nebraska
Legislature In 1893, prescribing the
maximum rates for the transportation
Of freight BY railroads within the state.
The act applies specifically TO freight
whose transit begins and ends In the
state and there was no effort in it's en- i.
actment to control interstate freight.
Il affected sll the railroads in tho state
and tho railroad companies instituted
the proceedings which were terminated
by this opinion BY fling bill in the
Nebraska circuit court soon after the
law was enacted. The object Of the
bill was to secure an order restraining
state officials from enforcing the law.
