The science of osteopathy was discovered
by DR.. A. T. Still of Kirksville, Mo- DR..
Still reasoned that a natural flow of blood
is health; and disease is the effect of local OF
general disturbance of the BLOOD that to
excite nerves causes muscles to contract and
compress venous flow of blood to The heart
and the bones could be used as levers to
relieve pressure on nerves, veins and ar
teTies.
slight strain or sudden joltng may
easily cause a displacement of bone. muscle.

on the nerves. thus breaking the nerve wave
between the brain and the part injured,

the numerous ailments caused from lack
OF nerve supply to parts. Seldom is there

smallpox Cases.
At meeting of the Board of Health yes
terday morning arrangements were made
with DR.. A. V. Stephenson, the county ply
sician, to take charge Of the case Of George
Youngs, the smallpox patient at 2T50 West
broadway. The board contracted with the
county physician to pay 5000 for the medical
care Of Youngs, provided no other case de-
veloped in the next six months. If more
cases arise the doctor is to receive 500 for
each case for the first six and $50 for each
additional patient. J. d. Anderson Of 1882
Avenue I was engaged by the board as nurse
for Youngs at a compensation OF So per day.
He will be in quarantine for forty daye.
Every rrecaution possible to maintain
strict quarantine on the premises occupied
by the Beckwith family has been taken by
the Board OF Health. During the day until
other arrangements are made the house is
being watched by one of the police force
and at night by Lewis James, a special
officer. Chief of Police BiXby and Deputy
city Marshal Guannella yesterday built a
shelter house for the officer on watch. The
little house is made of strong weather
boarding and Is SKA feet. 1t is provided
with a small stove and a window through
which the officer on guard can keep his eye
on Ille nTeSCTlDeu PROMISES uS Buul
house was placed on the opposite side of the
street facing the Beckwith home. In order
to prevent any OF the family leaving by the
back door 1t was fastened from the outside.
Mr.. Beckwith and his family realize the
necessity for the quarantine and are cheer
fully abiding by the rules OF the Board OF
Health. During the quarantine all the
needs Of the family will be supplied at the
expense of the county and yesterday large
consignment of food Of all kinds was de-
livered at the house. Mr.. Beckwith himself
making out the order for what they re-
quired.
The city pest house is all ready in case
it is needed and the parties occupying it,
a man named Katsenstein and his wife, are
both immunes and will care for any patient
the city may have to send there.
Some excitement was caused at the city
hall yesterday by a report that another
case of smallpox had been discovered on
Frank street. On investigation the report
was found to be false. 1t is estimated that
| the cost to the county in caring for the
Youngs case will amount to in the neigh
borhood of S1,500.
| The quarantine on the house OF Mrs. Har
| ris at Avenue H and Twenty-ffth street
was raised yesterday. Mrs. Harris and her
husband had been quarantined for nearly
three weeks. The woman had not been in
fected, but had been exposed to the disease

Mrs. Hughes Asserts Her Innocence
of ANY Attachment for Goude.


MASON CITY, Ia, Feb, s.-(Special Tele-
gram0-A climax was reached today In the
testimony of Mrs. Huguhes, accused OF her
husbands murder, and a good deal OF feei-
ing was displayed, In narTating the events
of the night previous 10 her husbands death
the defendant said that Hughes sat on the
side OF the bed and made several attempts
to count his money. Finally he asked her TO
get up and count it, which she did, There
was sl55 in the pocketbook. Her husband
took the book and tossed 1t under the Pill
low with the remark "Lottie, here Is 1885,
II you should ever need 1t, use it,"
In the testimony following Mrs Hughes
squarely contradicted five of the strongest
of the states witnesses. She said she never
went TO the bed of Mr.. Hughes, ST., after
her husband had died or told anyone that
he kept appearing to her; she had Oeyeh
walked home with Jesse Goude but twice and
then in the daytime; she had never kissed
Goude or been familiar with Dim.

Sioux city, south
SIOUX CITY. Ia, Feb. S-(Special)-
Considerable interest attaches to the propo-
sition to run an air line from Sioux City
to Omaha on the Nebraska side Of the river.
That there is something of the kind in the
wind cannot be denied, for already the
promoters have expended fully $4,000 in
making the surveys. Engineers have been
in the field for the last two or three months,
but everything they have done has been
conducted with the greatest secrecy poss-
BILE. The general impression prevails that
]. J. Hill of the Great Northern Is behind
the scheme; that he is anxious to secure
a southern connection with the Port Arthur
route by the most direct way possible, The
route chosen seems to be entirely irrespec-
tive of towns, as it skips Homer by two or
three miles, thence through Decatur and the
northeastern corner of Tekamah 1t passes
east of the town of Herman by about two
miles and runs one mile east Of Blair thence
east of Calhoun and east of Florence. 1t
is understood that some of the roads run
ming in the same direction will fight against
II securing an entrance into Omaha.
