A warning Issued by the city health
officer. DR.. Jepson, concerning taking
every possible precaution against an at
tack of smallpox, which is so prevalent
on all sides of US. should not be treated
lightly. It Is too serious a question to
be ignored. Vaccination is strongly
urged by the doctor and he is Justified
by the statement that more thpn
seventy towns in our neIghborlng state
OF Ohio are infected, the number Of
cases being 1000, and several hundred
cases are reported from Pennsylvania
on the other side of US. DR.. Jcpson
thinks every unprotected person should
be vaccinated, and told how II should be
done In yesterdays Inteligencer.
There is no need of anxiety, nor should
any one grow excited over the matter.
The purpose of the health officer is to
give n timely warning pending the pass
ing away OF the situation elsewhere.
In all other respects Wheeling is snfe.
1t Is a pleasure to note In DR.. Jepson's
quarterly health report the statement
TINT the condition OF the city, as re-
CARDS general health and sanitation. is
very gratifying.

The Tolenhone Ordinance.

In view of the approach of the time
when the city council is expected to act
on the ordinance committees report
recommending favorably the applica-
tion Of the National Telephone Company
for a franchise. the public interest In
creases as to the probable outcome. The
opposition sentiment to the miserably
loose provisions of the ordinance is
growing daily and It's adoption would
be about the most unpopular thing that
could be devised.
There are two main features OF the
opposition, aside from the lack Of a
guarantee as to the ability of foreign
company, with a paid capital Of $500, to
carry out its contract in good faith. The
first is the one so often referred to, that
the ordinance does not require under
ground wires. Property holders
throughout the city, and they are the
tax-payers, most decidedly oppose the
granting of franchise which contem-
plates the erection Of additional poles
and wires upon the thoroughfareS. Not
only is this true Of the residents, but
Of the=buslness men In the business CEN
tres Of the city. which are already
network Of wires and a forest Of un-
slightly poles.
Another ground of opposition comes
from the merchants. manufacturers, pro-
fesslonal and other men in about every
line Of business. and is based on the
ground that competing services which
would gain a great Roadway would not
be a matter Of economy with them, as
It would require their renting of tele-
phone from each company, and would
result. In great confusion in their busl-
ness. This objection is based upon the
experience Of business men in other
cities. In Connection with this point 1t is
noted that Harrisburg, Pa, refused
franchise recently to an opposition tele-
phone company on account Of these OBJ
jections.
Even though this might be admissible
in the eyes Of our Lawmakers, the pub
lie will hold accountable a body that
Will grant franchise to any competing
applicant. without compelling a COM
pliance with the requirements and facil-
tiles and lack Of Objectionable features
that are fulfilled by the present COM
pany, with Its great and wide-reaching
long distance and local service, and
splendid underground wire system.

The authorities over in Ohio, and par
tIcularly of Bridgeport, owe 1t to them
selves to prosecute every individual who
engaged in the unprovoked outrage up
on the six men, who, having been re-
leased from their employment by the
street railway company, were waiting
at the C. L. & w. railway station, Mon
day afternoon, for train to take them
to their homes in Cleveland. No more
disgracefuI conduct was ever perpe-
trated anywhere than that by the
Bridgeport mob.
1t is a pleasure to know that the peo-
pie OF Bridgeport composing the better
clauses smphatically condemn the as
sault. 1t is credltabIe to the six VIC
tins Of the attack that they paid no at
tentlon to the insults that preceded the
assault. They were doing no harm, and
were waiting for the train which was
to remove them from the scene where
their presence had caused 30 much dis
order. They were In an Ohio commun-
lty, where during the entire strike there
had been no lawlessness of any conse-
quence. One of the men was accom-
panied by his wife. and even this poor
woman did not escape the violent mani
festations. Her husband was knocked
down, and she was thrown against the
side of the passenger car.
The brave thirty or forty young men
who engaged in this piece of business
deserve the application Of law. Not
only was it violation Of the municipal
laws Of Bridgeport, but of the Interstate
commerce law, which Is a federal stat
ute. The men who were assaulted were
not In the employment Of the railway
company. They had severed their con-
nectlon with 1t at their own volition,
and were peaceably en- route to a dis
tnnt point.
