SENT TO PEST HOUSE
GEORGE BENTON'S DISEASE DE-
VELOPS INTO A CASE OF
SMALLPOX
MYSTERY WHERE HE GOT 1T
the Present Source of the Disease
DIR. Miller Thinks 1t Would BE
Wise for the People to Get Vac
cfnated-Doesn't Anticipate Any
Outbreak of the Disease.

The suspected case of smallpox at
) 1877 West Seventh street, not 1877 West
Third street, as originally reported
where George Benton, a colored barber
has been ill for several days, developed
yesterday to be genuine smallpox and
Benton was removed to the pest house
Mrs. Benton and her sister-in-law, who
were taking care of the sick man, are
under strict quarantine at the house
A policeman is constantly on guard at
the door and no one is allowed to enter
the place.
According to Acting Health Com
missioner Miller there is no mistake
about Benton having smallpox, but
the case is not regarded dangerous as
yet, as DR.. Miller says Benton seems
to have but a slight attack. At the
same time so virulent is the disease,
In any form, that it is readily con-
tagious and it was concluded that the
only safe measure was to isolate Ben
ton at the pest house. Benton was re-
moved in a conveyance which is under
the care Of the health department and
used for no other purpose
Mrs. Benton and her siSter-in-law
are 1mmunes from smallpox as DR.
Miller says both of them say they have
had the disease, but nevertheless they
will be kept in strict quarantine the
specified length Of time and every pre-
caution will be observed to fully stamp
out the disease
There seems to be no explanation as
to how Benton contracted the disease
DR.. Miller has endeavored to trace its
origin in the Benton case. but cannot
ascertain how or where the colored
man may have been exposed to small
pox. The only other case in the city
is that of the Italian, Antoine Vaeca,
who was removed from the Upper fats
to the pest house several days ago. 1t
is said that Benton has been nowhere
near the flats. Vacca is improving.
With a lack of all knowledge as to
the origin of these two cases, it would
not be surprising if more cases should
make their appearance before the dis
ease has been stamped out Benton,
up to the time he was taken sick, was
doing business in his barber shop and
came in contact with a good many
customers daily. Still the health au-
thorities think that is possible without
his having communicated the disease
to any of them.
1t is equally possible that the same
source which communicated the dis
ease to Benton himself may have COM
municated it to others.
= DR.. Miller said yesterday that he
would advise vaccination In all cases

The Mystery of the Magnetic Needle
In Russia.

One of Russia's innumerable mysteries Is
the erratic behavior Of the magnetic needle
in many parts OF the great empire The
compass is freaky enough anywhere, but IL
seems to take particular delight in refusing
to point north for the subjects of the car.
French ard Russian scientists have recently
been investigating this subject in the vast
central plain between Moscow ard Barakov.
The greatest alterations were found in the
province of kursk. the capital town OF which
is some eco miles almost due south of Mes
COW. In the northern Fat OF the province.
near Tim. the needle defects 90 degrees;
farther south. in he province of Starao-Oskoi.
up to 80 degrees, while In tine southeast of
the province about 80 miles south OF Tim,
the DETECTION is over SO degrees the needle
standing almost perpendicular and pointing
nearer east and west than north and south.
This reversal of the magnetic forces may
have some curious effects. A number OF new
railways are building in that region and
engineers are interested IN finding out
whether the durability of their lines will
tain the long accepted theory that these rails
last best which are parallel with the magnetic
mertdians. AS these run east and west over
a considerable part of Russia, 1t will be the
north and south lines that first show signs
of wear. whereas such lines in other coun-
tries are the more easily maintained in repair.

A Gathering Attended by Nearly
Thirty Thousand People, and
Continuing for Four Days-st,
Paul Always Has the Indorse-
ment of the Head Consul of the
Order-Work VIII Secure Plum.
/ The city development committee of
the Commercial club has made a report
regarding the national convention of
the Modern Woodmen to be held in the
month of June, 1901. The convention
is composed of from 400 to 500 delegates
from the various state camps of the
Modern Woodmen. This organization
has an aggregate OF not less than $780,
900 and this number will probably be
increased to $1,000 by the time of the
convention in 1901.
This convention will be attended by
large attendance of general members
of the order and their families. 1t Is,
in fact, the biennial outing of the or
der and basing their calculations upon
former attendance to the national con-
vention the committee figures that the
convention of 1901 will probably be at
tended by at least $4,000 to $4,000 dele
gates and visitors who will come from
the Northern states, remaining in the
city from four to six days.
The central committee of all the st.
Paul camps of this order are agitating
this matter of securing the convention
for ST. Paul in 1901 and are very ac-
tive in their efforts in that behalf, and
have already secured the Endorsement
of civil organizations for this end, and
the head counsel of the order who
visited ST. Paul last year and was
rendered reception by the Commercial
club, has given his Endorsement to the
movement.
The ST. Paul Modern Woodmen COM
mittee desires the cooperation of the
Commercial club along the following
lines for the securing OF the conyen-
ton:
First-The appointment OF a delegation from
the club to attend the national convention,
which will be held in Kansas City during the
month of June this year
Second@The securing of reduced rates for
railway transportation for the various dele
cations which are to go from st. Paul to
Third-For securing from the Western
Passenger Agents association the lowest pos
sible rates of transportation to the conven-
ton of 1901. if held in st, Paul.
Fourth-A suitable souvenir of st. Paul to
be presented to the members of the conven,
ton at Kansas City and to be distributed
among the members of the order for the pur-
pose of setting forth the advantages of St
Paul as a convention city.
In addition to the proposed delega-
tioii from the Commercial club. the
state camp of the National Woodrnen
viii send thirty delegates and the st.
Paul camps about fifty, and they desire
a delegation from the Commercial club
to be as large and aclive as possible.
The city development committee most
heartily commends the efforts to secure
this national convention and it recon-
mends that committee of five be ap-
pointed by the board Of directors to
confer and to cooperate with the local
committee of the Modern Woodmen for
the purpose of carrying the above rec
concentrations into effect.
In accordance with the last recon-
mendation the following committee has
been appointed: John Caulfield. chair

JEWS DAY OF ATONEMENT.
Solemn Fast to Be Observed By
All Good Hebrews.
is OF ANCIENT ORIGIN
No Food to Pass the Lips of Those Who
Truly Desire to Atone for Their
Sins To-Day Stores
to Close

To-day in the Hebrew calendar is
Yom Kippur. At o'clock last evening
all the stores in Anaconda, with few
exceptions which are managed by
Jewish people, were closed and will re-
main closed until o'clock this even
ing, when the Yom Kippur fast will
come to an end
The Yom Kippur, or day of atone
ment fast, is of most ancient origin 1t
is time when the Jews put away ma
terial things and exercise the spiritual
side of their nature, praying and fast
ing and asking Gods pardon for their
sins.
The period of repentance is "a hours
and during this time those who observe
the day do not eat, drink nor smoke
At o'clock this evening, when Yom
kippur will come to an end. the mem
bers of the family that has faithfully
observed the day will all sit down to
feast, when hymns will be sung
thanking God for having forgiven them
their sins.
Yom Kippur is generally observed in
the East, but of late the interest in
the day among the Jews of the West
has not been very great. Some claim
as a reason for this that business is
not good and that they cannot afford
to close their stores
w. Copinus, in discussing the mat
ter yesterday, said: Il believe that
all of the stores will be closed, but we
will have no services, as we have no
special place of worship. We could
have found a hall where we could have
held services, but the Jews of Ana
conda are too poor to bring any one
down from Butte to address us. The
only thing left for us to do is to stay
home and pray, and think that nearly
all of us will do that"
