ed to an Inter Mountain reporter this
morning that there were no indications of
new cases. The persons who are sus-
pected of having been exposed are being
kept under medical surveillance, and when
the first symptom manifests itself will
be taken in charge by the health au-
thorittes. A rumor was current on the
streets this morning to the effect that an
other case had been reported to the
health officers, but DR.. Alexander stated
at noon that no case had been reported
to him..
1t happens that Butte is well equipped
to prevent a disease like smallpox from
becoming epidemic. 1t has a well ap-
pointed pest house, at a safe distance
from the town. and the sulphuric fumes
in the atmosphere, branded as a nuisance
at most times, on an occasion like this is
a blessing, as it thoroughly fumigates
every portion of the city.

THE RAILROADS

Charles Clifford, general agent of the
Union Pacific, returned from Omaha
early this morning. He stated to an In
ter Mountain reporter that his road was
riding on the top wave of prosperity, and
had never enjoyed as large a volume of
business as 1T is now doing.
1T sounds like a broad statement said
he, but it is an actual fact that our
east bound shipments will amount to as
much as our west bound trafic this year.
This speaks volume for the state of
trade in the west.
The road is cndeavoring to keep pace
with it's growth of business. During the
past season about Sc, 600, 900 have been ex-
pended in improvements between Omaha
and the west. in taking the kinks out of
the line. shortening it and putting it in
the best condition possible.
Effective on the 18th of this month,
the Union Pacific, Chicago & Northwest
ern and the Southern Pacific will estab-
fish a new joint passenger service which
will make the run from Chicago to San
Francisco, a distance of 2,4OO miles, in y
hours. This will shorten the time to all
intermediate points, including Butte and
all Montana points reached by the Union
Pacific system"

THE SMALLPOX A S

Walcott. the smallpox patient, the ma
ture of whose disease was discovered yes
terday, was removed to the county pest
house last night and a competent i'm
mune nurse employed to take care of
him. Immediately after his departure
the Miller block, the place where his ILL
ness developed, was thoroughly fumigat-
ed and disinfected and those who had in
any way come in contact with the sick
man placed under the official taboo.
The announcement that smallpox had
been discovered in the city caused BIZ;
little alarm. The people have every con-
fidence in the ability of the authorities to
stamp out the disease. 1t happens that
the wholesale drug stores have had some
demand for fresh vaccine points because
of the existence of smallpox in Helena
and Great Falls, and have quite a stock
on hand. AS vet there has been but little
local demand for the points, which would
indicate very little alarm on the part of.
Butte's populace.

LADIES WILL ASSIST.
IN WELCOMING THE MONTANA
HEROES TO THEIR HOMES.

At a large and enthusiastic meeting
OF the ladies of Butte, held at the audi
forum this afternoon it was decided to
take up the work allotted to them hy
the general arrangements committee, in
charge of Butte's big soldier ~dtmonstra-
ton. The enthusiasm with which the
matter was taken up made evident the
fact that the ladies of the city are Xs
patriotic as the sterner sex and are fully
as anxious to do something for the re-
turning soldiers.
The meeting was a very representative
one. 1t was called to order by ex-Sen-
ator Lee Mantle who told the ladies that
the general committee desired to interest
them in the soldier reception. He sug-
gested that they consider either fur
nishing a luncheon for the regiment, or
solicit funds for such a purpose and
that they take charge of the work OF
finishing the souvenir badges.
The meeting was then organized ~
the election of Mrs. Clinton H. Moore,
chairman, and Mrs. Judge Speer secre-
tary.
Mrs. Harper moved that the ladies of
Butte furnish the lunch and finish the
badges. The motion prevailed by unani-
nous vote n amid much enthusiasm
she also suggested that the soldiers
be the guests of the ladies at an old
fashioned barbecue to be given at the
race track. The suggestion met with
approval and Mrs. Burton was appoint
ed a committee of one to interest the
meat dealers of the city.
1t was decided, on Mrs. Reese's sug-
gestion to interest the various women's
clubs, societies and lodge organizations
in the work.
Mrs. w. j. Christie was elected treas
urer without bonds,'' and the ladies ad-
journed to meet at the auditorium next
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

MANY WANT DAMAGES.
Swift Packing Company Sued by a
Number of Employees.

Damage suits involving more than
$40 600 were filed in the United States
circuit court Monday afternoon against
the Swift Packing company, on tran
scripts from the court OF common pleas
of WyandOtte county. Corporations,
especially packing houses, have an
aversion to trying damage cases before
a Wyandotte county jury, and there
fore every case involving more than
81, 600 is removed to the federal court.
The first of these cases is brought
by Elic WhitIock, a carpenter. He was
employed to do some work half way
up a brick wall, 81 feet high, from
which projected a large number Of two
bv-fOurS On top of the wall were a
number of loose brick. As he was sit
ting on one of the scantling, 16 feet
from the ground, a brick fell and
struck him on the head, knocking him
SenseleSS. He fell, first striking a
scantling and breaking three ribs, and
then lighting on a nail keg on the
ground, which completed his physical
decentralization. He asks for $4,000
damages against the company. The Pc
tition shows that the amount at first
claimed was 1899, which would have
forced the case to remain in the state
courts, but these figures were erased
and $4,000 inserted in their stead
The second case is brought by Will
lam J. Simpson, a IabOrer, who was en-
pIoyed to wheel meat for the packing
company on a truck through long
tunnel between two buildings The
tunnel was supposed to be lighted with
an incandescent light, but it had been
allowed to burn out In going down
a grade with a truck load or 1883
pounds of meat, another man slipped
on the greasy floor and turned the en-
tire truck over onto Simpson, badly
crushing him, so he alleges, and ne
asks for 5000 damages from the pack
ing company.
The third suit is brought by William
Platte. who was employed in the hog
house of the plant. He says he was
coming down a stairway in which the
lights had been allowed to go out, and
on account of there being no light, he
slipped and fell, seriously injuring him
self. He wants s., 600.
Another transcript from Wyandotte
county was filed in the case of George
NJ. Daggett against the Peet Brothers
Manufacturing company, which makes
soap. Daggett says he was compelled
to climb on some shafting t. oil it, an6
while he was there someone started the
machinery and he was thrown to the
floor, a distance of u feet. In his in

In the application of these fertilizers
we must bear in mind that they are

rely on them to take the place Of the

processes have all been exhaustive. "
Nothing has been restored. The grCa

much a still be done, not only to re
