THEY ARE AFRAID or SMALLPOX.
Penitcntiary officials VIII No
Longer Admit Visitors.

Visitors have been excluded from the
penitentiary owing to the fear that
smallpox c~ontagion may exist within the
walls.
About ten days ago two negroes were
received frcm Norfolk, and nearly the
same day two of the prisoners in the
Hail from which they came were stricken
with smallpox. This has made the
prison officials uneasy, lest the prisoners
from Norfolk may have been exposed to
the contagion.
II was not known at the prison that
there was smallpox I'm the Norfolk jail
when the prisoners arrived, consequently
no attempt was made 10 isolate them.
There has not yet been time for the
disease 10 develop. and until a sufficient
period has elapsed visitors will not be
admitted. There is little or no danger or
an epidemic Of smallpox IN the peni-
Tertiary should a case be developed, as
every convict Is vaccinated Immediately
upon being received.
Measles is also prevalent in the prison,
which is a further reason Tor the eXcIu-
sion OF visitors. There nave as yet peeH
no serious cases.

Union Brewers Win.

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 29.-After a fight
of over five years between the Eng
lish syndicate and the five %independ-
ent breweries in st. Louis on one side
and the National Union Of United
Brewery Workmen on the other, the
latter has at last made an impression
and secured recognition by one Of the
independent concerns.
August Priesterbach, member Of the
national executive board of the Ma
tional Union Of United Brewery Work
men, says the concern that has signi-
fled its willingness to recognize the
union will take back all the union men
it can employ and pay them union
prices. He considers the ice broken,
and that other breweries will shortly
follow suit.

A GOOD Banker.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 29.-Thomas
w. Barlow. receiver of the Peoples
bank, has notified the depositors of
that institution that the remaining 10
per cent due them will be paid on and
after December S, 1898. This payment
will close every uncontested claim
against the bank, including the de-
posits Of the city and state.
The Peoples bank closed it's doors
on March Is, after the cashier, John
s. Hopkins, had committed suicide.
When the bank closed its doors the LA
bilities were about 81. 800. 900, while the
assets were less than 81, 0OO, 900.
At the time Of the suspension Presi-
dent Mechanics pledged himself to pay
the depositors dollar for dollar. and
the announcement of Receiver Bar
low shows that he has kept his word.

Dipping Kills Many Cattle.

Guthrie. o. T.--(special.)-Great num-
bers of cattle dipped according to the
new quarantine regulations have died
during the recent cold spell in this part
OF Oklahoma. Out Of a herd Of 500
dipped last week, fifty have died here
in two days.
Cattlemen protest against dipping,
and declare that cattle cannot endure
hard weather after being dipped. The
result will be, they say, that practically
no feeders will be brought into Okla
this winter, unless the live stock
sanitary board reinstates the open sea-
son ,se yasa
Governor Barnes has agreed to. call a
meeting of the live stock board to con-
slider the complaints against dipping.
1t is probable that the board will sus-
pend dipping regulations during part
of December.

Seymour, Ind.-(Special.)-On Sunday
night, November 6, Jos. Baird, an Of
fensive negro in this community, was

was with difficulty that the mob was
restrained from lynching him. When

Shields. who said Baird had repeated
the charges to him. Then Baird and
Mills both drew their revolvers and
opened fire, keeping it up through the
streets til Baird ran into his house.

gilist, who until recently assisted in
training Corbett, is lying critically i'll
at his home in this city as a result Of
a terrific blow on the back of the head
by Jack Root in their recent fight in
Chicago. Lansing is almost entirely
paralyzed and is barely able to speak.
He can move only a few portions Of
his body. His physician thinks from
what he car learn from Lansing that
the terrific blow he received from Root
and which felled him, causing him to
strike the floor with great violence, has
caused the formation of a blood clot on
the brain. DR.. Mcintyre, the physi-
clan. says h chances Of Lansing's
recovery are slight.

READY TO REBEL
PHILIPPINES THREATEN WAR
AGAINST ANNEXATION.
Will Fight For Their Liberty Will
Retire to the Hills and Defy
the United States.

London, Nov. 29.-The London office
of a Philippine company has received a
letter from it's Manila agent. dated Oc-
tober 1S, in which the agent says:
"The rebels are prepared already to
resist annexation. I am in the con-
fidence Of their chiefs, and I assure you
that they are quite prepared to retire
to the hills If more than a protectorate
is attempted. 1 hope it will not come
to warlike proceedings, for it would be
a very protracted affair. The Ameri-
cans would not find the rebels as easy
as h Spaniards, for they formerly
had only 1000 rifles, while the rebels
now have $1,000 rifles and eighty can
non, including several Maxims."
h Manila correspondent adds: 1.-THE
Americans are not allowed to pass the
rebel lines without passports. A party
of German officers who attempted to
do so without passports were mistaken
for Americans and were refused per-
mission. When it was discovered they
were Germans the officers were per-
mitted to proceed"
The manager Of this Philippine COM
pany, who has spent years in the Phil
ippine islands. does not attach any
Importance to the foregoing plans. He
says the Americans could quickly SUBJ
due the natives. He also says the
Americans have magnified the import

An English Carlist positively asserts
that Don Carlos army will take the
field soon after the treaty is signed.
He declares that a loan has been fully
financed and that it is equally divided
between France and England, and adds
that after the English capitalists were
shown the evidence on which Carlos

The English Carlist asserts thai much
more money could have been secured
had it not been for the fact that Don
Carlos possessed an army, organized
into battalions and batteries, Differed
and largely armed, but the Spanish
leaders counted on his failure to secure
funds.
Therefore the Spanish government is
said to be panic-stricken and to be

A VAUDEVILLE TRUST.
New Theatrical Combine Includes
Omaha In Its Circuit.

st. Louis. Mo-, Nov. est was an
nounced here by the management Of
the Columbia Theater company Of St.
Louis that an alliance had been formed
in Chicago that would practically mo-
nopolize al 1.-The highclass vaudeville at
fractions that came west. The follow
ing statement, in effect. was made by
the Columbia management:
The contracting members Of the COM
l are the Columbia theater Of this
city and the Great Northern in Chica-
go, the Orpheum circuit. with houses
IN San Francisco. Los Angeles. Denver,
Kansas City and Omaha: the Hopkins
circuit, with houses in New Orleans,
Memphis, Atlanta and Chicago, with
Affiliations in Cincinnati and Milwau-
kee, and the Kohl & Castle circuit,
with three houses in Chicago.
This combination, which is the
strongest ever effected in vaudeville, is
the direct result of the entry into vau-
deville of the Columbia theater of st.
Louis, and its sister theater, the Great
Northern of Chicago, under the same
management.
BY the terms Of the agreement, the
latter house will change policy from
vaudeville and become a stock or COM
bination house. while the former will
continue in the vaudeville line.
1t is stated that the papers consum-
mating the deal were signed in Chi
cago, but that no announcement Of
the fact would be made until after the
election of officers. AS the result of
this combine contracts with vaudeville
companies can be made for from 20
to 43 weeks. This will enable the par
ties to it to secure the finest talent
from abroad.
Colonel Hopkins, it is announced, has
withdrawn from the local theatrical
field.
