NOT SUCH A PAD PLACE
- -
A Good We :. ssr the Silver Bow
CounC " Fest House.
ACCORDING TO J. E. LEE
1t Is in Reality Hospital-Never Re-
ceived Better Treatment-It Is Thor
oughly Observation-Disclosures
ance OF Everything.

According to j. E. Lee, who has oc-
pest house is not such bad place to go
to. In almost every epidemic of small
poX. half the dread of it that exists in
the community, arises from the fear of
being taken to the pest house, but from
Mr.. Lees statement Of his experiences
people who happen to be so unfortu-
nate as to become afflicted need have
no fears Of going to the institution pre-
sided over by Dr. Sullivan.
Mr.. Lee had the misfortune to be one
of the victims of the present smallpox
contagion. He had varioloid and went
to the pest house. He has recovered
and has just returned to the city. In
giving an account yesterday OF the
treatment he received while at the pest
house, Mr. Lee said:
81 want to say for the benefit of per-
sons who happen to get smallpox that
they need not fear going to the pest
house. On the contrary, they are fool
ish if they do not go there unless they
have a home and can be cared for
there without endangering too many
other people. AS a matter of fact, this
pest house ought not to be so termed,
their dread Of going there, and this one
is not at all like what I always mag
ined the average pest house to be. 1t
is more like a hospital, and ought to be
SO termed. / never received better
treatment and care in my life in a hos
pital than I did out there.
The place is thoroughly comfortable,
the nurses are efficient, DR.. Sullivan is
slave to his duty, and the person who
goes there gets the very best of care.
l cannot say too much in praise of DR..
Sullivan. Without regard to who they
are, every patient is given the same
treatment by him. He plays no favor
ties, and every one gets the very best
of attention
There is but one thing that the pa
TENTS at the pest house can complain
of, and under the present circumstances
no one can be blamed for that, though
l do think it should be remedied for
the future. 1t is the matter Of the way
in which the meals are provided. There
is an abundance of everything, and it
is all of the best, but as it all has to be
brought from the poor farm it is all cold
before it reaches those who have to eat
it. The food is brought from
the poor farm over to what
is called the dead line There
the guard requires it to be placed
on the ground. and it is removed to
other trays and carried to the pest
house by the attendants. Coming such
long distance and having to go
through all this necessary procedure
for the safety of the inma ties of the poor
house. it is, of course, cold by the time
it gets to the patients, and if one hap
pens to have his stomach a bit out of
order, it is pretty hard to eat cold food
If provision were made for cooking the
food at the pest house this would be
7 s1nnOSe If W0ulG
to make any change now. but such pro-
vision ought to be made for future
emergencies"

DELINQUENT Tx LIST.
Smallest sum of Any Year in the History
of the County.

The delinquent tax list for Silver Bow
county has just been published and fills
20 columns of the county'S official news
paper. though the total amount of tax
delinquent is but little over $4,000, the
smallest sum of any year in the history
of the county. The property upon
which the taxes are delinquent consists
mostly of outlying additions :" - =ity.
Which has been sold for rs re-
peatedly, the owners not considering
the lots worth the amount of the tax.
Among the property on the list are a
number of lots in the Big Butte addi-
ton assessed to Eva e. Blodgett, lots
in the Pleasant View addition assessed
to Frcderica Boyce, and the usual big
list in the Northern Pacific addition
assessed to Thomas Cooper and others.
r. M. Cobban and the Cobban Realty
company are delinquent on the Carte
Blanche addition. A large number of
owners are also delinquent on lots in
the Park City addition. Kings addition,
Mayfiower, Noyes e Upton. Blackfoot,

and Hastings in the discharge of their du-
ties, so it is recorded on the police blot

ployed drastic measures to carry their
scheme into effect and that the officers
met them half way and overpowered
them. Later Merry gave cash bond for

gagged in a fight in an Upper Main street

Jack Fogarty and ]. Lewis, two alleged
prize fighters, were arrested by Officer
Laughrin for disturbance. They and a
Miss Lezette. a charmer from the slums,
it is asserted. mixed up in a fistic exhi-
bition and the woman, it would appear
from superficial glance, came out third
best in the encounter. All were taken
to the Jail, where they ate Christmas din
ner, whose menu was stewed meat and
coffee with cold trimmings and a loaf of
bread each. The woman exhibited some
ugly bruises on her body, which looked
as if they might have been inflicted with
the blunt end of a falling six-story brick
house.
Lofty Maloney called at the police sta
ton in the afternoon and asked Jailer
Boyle not to allow any officer to run him
in. He said that he would like very much
to have it said that at least one Christ
mas went by without his being thrown in
for drunkenness. WELL" said the kind
hearted jailer. you'd better make tracks
out of here before Jim Leyden comes
around, for If you are here when he comes
you won't get out of here no more than
a rabbit"
Taken altogether, good weather, good
times, free eggnogg and general good will,
it was a quiet day in police circles.

THE WAR IN AFRICA.

The most important development in
such of the war news from Natal as the
British censors permit to become pub
lie is that the British, who we're driven
from Colenso, have probably retreated
to Estcourt, about fifteen miles farther
south. Estcourt is naturally well suit
ed to defense, and better stand can
probably be made there than at Colenso.
The latest news from Ladysmith re-.
ceived yesterday refers to fridays
| events. General White had made two
brave dashes against the Beers, in both
of which he is reported to have been
successful. The garrison was holding
| out well.
There are fears of Boer attack on
Petermaritzburg. A volunteer corps
will be organized for the defense OF that
| town.
Trains have stopped running on the
Natal Railway north of Pletermaritz'
burg.

effected a Judgment at Melthorpe,
railway station six miles south of Lady
smith. The Tugela bridge guard at
Colenso has been strengthened. 1t is
probable that the troops at Colenso
will retire on Estcourt, where the Brit
ish garrison has been reinforced. The
British War Office officials at last ed.
NIT that the town of Ladysmith. where
the British headquarters in Natal are
located, is completely surrounded by
Beers.
Renewed fears are expressed that
the Basuto natives will rise and take
part in the war. The English allege
that the Basutos can scarcely be re-
strained from helping them, and that
should General White have another re
verse, they would almost surely rise.

PROF. J. b. PEYToN, who has Just re-
turned from the Philippines, delivered
s lecture before the Churchmen's
League, in Washington, last night, in
which he said the Filipinos "are re-
markably devout and almost childlike
in their adherence to the church; tenn
perate, industrious and clearly, and
certainly sufficiently intelligent for self
government" But Mr.. Hanna and
President Mckinley say they are hall
savage and treacherous heather rebels
though they never were subjects OF
the Uoited States; that they can't gov
ern themselves, and that they must be
taught humanity, civilization, Christi
anity and home rule by American loot
ers. But Northern republicans always
have presumed to know what is better
for other people than such people them
selves do.
