EXPENSES OF SMALLPOX
COUNCILS SPECIAL MEETING TO RE-
CEIyE AN ORDINANCE.
Controller johnson Explains Cost
Street-Car Men File n
Protest.

A special meeting of the Council was held
last night to take action on the request Of
Health Officer Clark for an additional ap-
preparation of 5000 to cover the expense of
caring for smallpox patients and persons
kept in quarantine.
City Controller johnson was present and
stated reasons why the appropriation should
be made. DR.. Clark's letter covering all the
facts in the case was accompanied by an
ordinance. and both were read together.
The letter stated that fourteen patients have
been confined in the pesthouse and 40 in
quarantine requiring the employment Of
forty special sanitary officers at 81 % a day
The letter stated that the city not only had
to care for the patients, but also for the
people In quarantine, and thus had to pay
for all the furniture, clothing and bedding
taken from the quarantined houses and de-
stroyed
In addition to this special physicians,
nurses and an expert physician had TO be
employed at the pesthouse. all of which cost
materially less in this city than in other
cities which had been touched by the
disease. The $1,000 appropriation is now ex-
hausted and for the last fourteen days no
special officers have been employed, all
cases being given over TO the care of the
regular sanitary officers. After the reading
of the letter and the accompanying ordi-
nance Controller Johnson recommended the
appropriation asked for. The ordinance was
referred to the committee on finance.

If you have had La Grippe, you can
realize something of the suffering endured
by its thousands of victims every year
You know, perhaps, how ii tears and
strains at your spinal column; how it
twists your neck and fairly seems to split
your head wide open. You know how it
seizes you with a vise-like grasp, whirls
you up into the black cloud of a nervous
cyclone then suddenly let's you go and
you fall back bruised and wounded when
the storm is over. Perhaps you also know
that DR.. Miles Nervine will kill La Grippe
that it is a wonderful healer, and will
close up the lacerated wounds ard revive
the vanquished spirits. Thousands of uu-
fortunate victims have found in that great
nerve food and tonic just the medicine
needed to repair the injuries inflicted by
the modern scourge. La Grippe. IF You
don't need it tell your friends about it. 1t
will help them.

THAT TEXAS RANGER FLAG.
Testimony Showing 1t Was Legiti-
mately Captured in Action.

To the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal
An Indianapolis paper of recent date pub
lished an article from J. Il. Patten late of
the Seventeenth Indiana who says that be-
fore the Legislatures appropriates $3.50 for
the return OF flag to the Texas Rangers it
ought TO make some inquiry into the cir
cumstances under which 1t was captured
and then goes on to say:
THE flag was found by the Seventeenth
Indiana. about ten miles from Rome, Ga.
just before the s6irmish at Beech Creek
Our men were moving towards the enemy
and some of the boys found the flag hanging
on a fence post. Ii had been the flag at
brigade headquarters Of the Confederatss
and had evidently heen hung up there to
dry Ii was not found near the battle line
the enemy was not in sight when 1t was
found"
Now, Patten was good soldier, was
wounded in Tennessee and promoted first
lieutenant in September. 1884, but his state
ments are all wrong and he is getting mixed
up evidently in his old sge. The facts are
these: Garrard's cavalry division, fellow
ing up Hoods army and constantly skirm-
ishing with his cavalry. after passing to the

STREET-CAR MEMS PROTEST..
They Want No Three-Cent Fare in the
Franchise.


Two important matters came before the
Board of Works at its meeting yesterday.
One was a petition from IA employees of
the Citizens Street-railroad Company ask
ing the board to Pay no attention to the
agitators of Scent fares. 1t reads
''As employees of the Citizens Street-rail-
road Company whose interests are vital in
the scale of fares TO be determined upon
We humbly ask your honorable body to ig-
rore any and all petitions advocating the
adoption Of a scent fare, as we feel that
We would be the sufferers thereby in having
to submit to a cut in wages in order to
enable the company TO properly conduct
view this matter from our standpoint and
have our interests at heart when considering
this important question"
The petition was filed by G.. Hazen, II.
Redmond, w. L. Ayres and Henry Huester,
all employees of the road. The board took
no action.
The other matter presented was an appli-
cation by Albert Sahm, Charles E. Thorn
ton, Charles y. Bookwalter, Herman c.
Tuttle and Charles n. Thompson for a fran
chise for the. Citiztls' Light and Power
Company, TO furnish light, heat and power
In the district situated north of ST. Clair
street and extending TO Thirty-fourth street
and from Senate avenue and the Big Four
tracks to the Monon tracks. The company
has not as yet been incorporated. The APP
plication was referred to the city engineer
to ascertain what poles and lines were al
ready up in the district covered by the ap-
plication. City Engineer Jeup Is of the
opinion that a large part of the tract named
in the paper is situated outside the city
limits and cannot therefore be included in
any grant made by the city.

showed a balance of $40l in the hands of the
administrator. Mr.. Obergfell died in 1897

money into court If the heirs Of Mrs Sims
could be found. They have at last been To-
Gated in Hanover province, Germany, and
the money will be forwarded to them.
