say the entire smallpox controversy
was n great mistake which un.
necessarily did much damage to the
city. They say that politics was lug
ged into the matter and that differ
ences Of opinion existing among doc

the controversy. Although the pro.
ceedings Of the special Council commit

mittee were convinced that the small

as some of the physicians had stated it
to be.

apprehension is felt in Washington
lest the present rain and thaw should
produce a flood. 1t is believed that
the sewers cannot possibly carry oil all

be drained away, and that the Potomac
river will be swollen to such an extent
as will cause very great damage to the
whole lower part Of the city. Water is
said to be filterng into fou--ff hs of sll
the Easements and cellars within the

powerle5s to drain it away. If this

ATCHIsON's PROSPERITY.

AS foreshadowed in this column yesterday. the
net earnings OF Atchison for June returned in
crease OF 10000. Absurd estimates had been made
in certain quarters regarding the June showing
but despite the fact that these estimates were
much above actual earnings the people who be-
eved in them have reason for disappointment
in the actual figures that were published yester-
day. In fact, an increase of $500 900 is something
more than ordinary. It is phenomenal showing,
and a clear reflection of the big business doing by
the Atchson company and of the roads splendid
physical condition that now permits reduction IN
operati ting expenses. The last named were s2Sl, 0l
less than they were in the same month year ago
The June statement shows that the company has
earned in the fiscal year 3A per cent on the pre-
ferred stock The dividend declared in January
was made from the profits OF the preceding year,
so that nc company has actually earned per cent
more than the amount so far paid for the fiscal
year II would seem from this record that Atch-
SON preferred stockholders stand an excellent
chance of receiving an increased dividend next
January. Atchison. like all the roads In the South
west is doing enormous business, and its secur-
ity owners have every reason for satisfaction in
the value of their investment.
