An Enthusiastic Meeting

An enthusiastic meeting of the
town board, other city officials and
citizens was held at the city hall
this afternoon. The mayor intro
duced Doctor Sewell, secretary OF
the state board of health, who
talked somewhat at length upon
the existing conditions at this
place and made many timely sug-
gestions in the matter of precan-
tlonary measures to prevent the
spread of smallpox.
DIR. Sewell said he was very
much gratified to find entire har-
mony among the city officials in
their desire to best serve the town
and people in preventing an cpl
demic.
The doctor emphasized the val
ne of vaccination, and said it is
the belief of the best minds of the
world that vaccination is u preven-
tative of smallpox.
Time and space will not permit
a full account of tue meeting tn
today's issue, but the important
features will appear tomorrow.

A TIMELY TOPIC
Smallpox and Vaccination by
Benjamin Roseberry, n. d.

Was assured THAT these peo-
pie We're immune to the grea,
scourge, smallpox Escaped it
did not contract it. Could associ.
ate with those sick of it, nurse
them and yet escape contagion
Satisfying himself by investigation
that this was universally true he
began to speculate and reason
deeply regarding this wonderful
fact with the result long since
known to the world of the discov-
cry of the great truth, that the
sores on the cows constitute dis
ease known as cowpox; that COW
pox was human smallpox, changed
and modified by passing through
the system of the COW and that
those humans who contracted this
cowpox were thencefort immune
to smallpox Why? Because you
can't have smallpox but once
that's the nature of the disease
and having had the modified dis
ease in the shape of cowpox or
vaccinia, a disease not dangerous
to life-you were done with the
whole thing thereafter. What
more simple then than to pur-
posely contract vaccinia in order
to- escape smallpox. From that
starting point the same process
has been perpetuated to the pres
ent day, and one who gets vacci-
mated today, thereby accepts the
mild and harmless cowpox in
preference to tho deadly smallpox
So much in answer to the first
question. will vaccination prevent
smallpox. Did space permit, the
most incontrovertible statistics
could be quoted in substantiation,
but these can be seen in any stand
ard cyclopedia.
Second lis vaccination moi
more dangerous than smallpox
This question has been asked me
many times in all seriousness, and
although the answer to the above
question would seem sufficiently to
cover this point ! will devote a
few words especially to it.
No! Emphatically, no! Vacci-
nation with pure virus, containing
no element other than vaccine
lymph is not only not more dam
gerods than smallpox, but is prac-
tically and to all intents and pur-
poses free of danger at all. So far
as life is concerned, vaccination
properly performed in all respects,
is absolutely safe. There may be
considerable distress and discom-
fort during the course of the dis
ease-for vaccination is disease
or rather vaccination is the means
by which we voluntarily produce
the disease known as vaccinia OF
cowpox, but in the vast majority
of cases this distress is not suffi-
cient and the course Of tie disease
is not sufficiently severe to even
confine the individual indoors
But, doctor, | have known case
where the arm had to be ampu
tated because of vaccination
Suppose | lose my arm?" My gooc
friend, just get me the facts abou
that case, if you please. Find out
all about it, and when you do fine
out everything, if you do, you viii
find that something else and no
vaccination was responsible fol
the loss OF limb. Properly per
formed vaccination in every sensc
of the word-neycr caused tho los!
of an arm or leg unless something
else paved the way for it. I def,
any one to disprove this PROPOSE
ton, either from experience or th'
history of vaccination for the las
one hundred years.

My Dear Sir:-I 'phoned Mr..
Prior the result of my assays, and
asked him to tell you the results
which | presumed he did. l was
greatly disappointed myself, fully
expecting better results than I got.
The samples are showed well in
copper, and some very rich, but 1
did not get in gold anything, only
trace from any of them.
The News of Denver and the
Chieftain of Pueblo innocently
misquoted me in their interview.
The question was asked of me, s'If
the mine or vein is no better than
the samples assayed, will it pay?"
| answered, "No, not in a hundred
years. How could it?"
/ fully believe that at an ex-
pense of few thousand dollars
the Copper King would make a
mine. | should like the chance
of spending it on bond and lease
if terms could be made salts
faotorily. I am going to do some
work if there is plenty to justify
it.
If you will do me the favor to
see your local papers and set me
right in this matter / will GER

YELLOW SIGN TORN DOWN
eVan" Doesn't Like the House OF
Detention

CYAN" the well known black
smith made a grievous error yes
terday for which today he is truly
penitent.
1t seems that Vans residence is
near the house prepared by the
officers as detention hospital,
and when he saw,the yellow sign
on the door of the latter house it
made him nervous. He therefore
called upon the police force at
noon yesterday and in decidedly
emphatic manner informed them
that he would protect his family
against smallpox signs.
yesterday evening the officers
found that Mr.. Vandeveer had eff
fected his purpose. The sign was
missing from the detention house,
the door was open, and the men
supposed to be detained were mis-
sing.
The officers then made visit to
Vans residence and invited the
gentleman to accompany them.
He told the officers where they
might go, but locking the door
said he thought he would stay
where he was. He also mentioned
that he would bring his artillery
into action if the officers insisted
on entering his domicile.
The officer however forced. an
entrance, and today Van is in the
coop. He will probably be tried
for the serious charge of resisting
an officer.
