Where We're At.

The supposed case of smallpox yes
terday at the G. b. shops has develop
ed a very interesting controversy. City
Physician Race examined the man and
the symptoms indicated the approach of
smallpox. While the symptoms indi
Gated this, there was still q doubt in
the physicians mind and he we'll knew
that if he sent the sick man to the pest
house he would certainly contract the
disease and possibly die. This
portion of the question hsv-
ing been thoroughly consider
ed by the city physician, and the prop
er disposition being made oft, another
and even more difficult question arose.
Now, what shall I do?'' said
the doctor, 81 cannot send this
man to the pest house, because
cannot pronounce the case smallpox;
and cannot send him to the hospital
because they will not receive uncer-
tain cases of this kind. The question
is. "what shall do?'' At the time the
present pest house was built DR.. Race
asked that q certain portion of 1t be
set at the required distance away from
the present structure for uncertain
cases, such as developed yesterday,
but his request was not granted, and
the public can now see the necessity of
such q structure.
There was this man stretched out on
the ground yesterday, burning up
with fever and no place to send him
for treatment. simply because the case
was doubtful. Is it not high time for
this matter to receive the proper At
teptiOn?

Troops will Keep Down Trouble

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Two troops OF
the first Illinois cavalay left for Virden
this morning. At Springfield they
were joined by the remaining troops of
squadron B of Bloomington and D OF
Springfield.

VIRDEN, ILL.,, Oct. 13.-The intense
excitement which was occassioned by
the bloody battle of yester-
day afternoon between the
striking miners on one side and
Thiel's and PinkertOn's detectives and
guards employed by the Chicago-Vir-
den Coal Co. on the other is still at fever
heat and the presence of the state militia
does not cool it in the least. Adju-
tant General Reece who is in command
OF the soldiers, says he is here un-
der unmistakeable orders from
Governor Tanner to prevent
further trouble, to protect lives
and property, and to prevent
operators from bringing imported
sbor into the town.
The situation this afternoon looks as
if uore trouble was brewing. None
doubt that the miners will avenge the
death of their comrades. 1t is
learned that none of the sheriff's men
had been sworn in as deputies and they
are liable to be arrested charged with
murder. The miners are secretipg
their weapons to prevent confscation.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, Oct. 13 The
Alabama negroes who were brought
here yesterday were kept at Aliens
hall guarded by Springfield miners.
Two OF them got out of the room this
morning and started down the street.
They were recognized. quickly overta-
ken and set upon by the crowd. Both
were knocked down and beaten almost
into insensibility. They were then
dragged back to the hall. The troops
arrived here today. They will be held

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Oct. 13.-More
than usual interest attaches to the an
nual meeting of the stockholders of
the Great Northern which is being
held here today owing.to the numerous
matters of Importance which will
be discussed and acted upon.
First and foremost is the question of
increasing the capital stock for the
purpose of consolidating the ST. Paul,
Minneapolis and Manitoba with the
Great Northern. The general under
standing of the basis of consolidation lie
that the proposition will be made to
Mauitaba stockholders to accept

Police Court.

Nothing appeared on the police
docket this morning except two ar
rests for riding blind bikes. The days
are getting shorter at present and
those who have been in the habit Of
riding without a lamp at Z o'clock In
the evening for some time seem to
think that they have the same right
now. There has been great many
arrests made for this violation of the
city ordinance lately and the police
will see that the good work is kept
up. 1t is very dangerous for pedestrians
to have q bicycle going at q lively rate
through the darkness without light
and equally as dangerous for the rider.
1t is well for bike riders to know that .
fine in police court costs almost a.
much as a lamp.
