The statements of the Colorado game

Another case of genuine smallpox, the
second TO make its appearance in Salt
Lake. came to light yesterday afternoon
The victim is F. NJ. Samuelson. a painter,
who resides with his family at 1853 South
Second East street As in the case of
DIR. c. n. Ray. the origin of the disease is
traceable to Sanpete county.
AS soon as the reporc reached the health
department. Quarantine Inspector Stacey
proceeded to the house and hoisted the
yellow flag Health Commissioner keosn
called at the house little later and made
thorough examination of the stricken
patient.
At o'clock, when DIR. Keogh returned
TO the health office, he unnesitatingly
pronounced the disease smallpox. He
found Samuelson's face broken out in
pustules and left word that within an
hour the patient would be conveyed 10 the
pest house TO keep DR.. Ray company.
Taken to the Pest House.
In the meantime arrangements were
perfected for transporting Samueison 10

back of the penitentiary. After dark the
lated house which will be his abiding
place until he is permitted 10 return
home.
Samuelson's home was thoroughly dis.
infected by the health authorities last
night with formaldehyde gas and a bar
ricade was erected across the sidewalk.
Besides Mrs. SamuelSOn and her baby, an
elderly couple a Mr.. and Mrs Reynolds,
occupy the infected house. By vaccinat-
ing them and using other precautions, IL is
hoped to prevent any of them or their
neighbors from contracting the dreaded
disease.
DR.. Keogh elected from Samuelson the
fact that he has been at Gunnison. one
of the Sanpese smallpox towns. executing
contracts for painting and decorating
houses. Feeling an approaching illness.
he escaped the quarantine about two
weeks ago and came northward by train,
stopping at Pleasant Grove en- route and
arriving homo in this city about ten
days ago.
Profane Use of Public Building.
When DIR. Keogh returned to the health
office from his inspection of Samue,son :

nervous chill on seeing the health COM

from his buggy and walk into

GENTRY'S Dog AND PONY SHOW.

H. B. Gentry. the famous professor
of animal learning, assisted by his large
and well-trained company of dogs,
ponies and monkeys, are advertised to
appear under large waterproof tent
at Fourth South, between Main and
State streets, this week. Performances
will be given each night at sis, and
matinees daily, except today.
The professor has always been a
great favorite in Salt Lake, not only
with the little ones, who especially de-
light in performances of this character,
but with adults of mature years, who
can visit the Gentry exhibit with both
pleasure and profit. Aside from it's
highly amusing features, the student
of animal history can find much to
marvel at in the strange and seemingly
impossible acts of these remarkably
well-trained animals.
Since last seen here the show has
been greatly enlarged. and now the
company consists of seventy-eight
dogs, forty-five ponies. twelve mon
keys and also two small elephants.
1t has also been improved in every
particular; the acts are all new and
up-to-date; the old feats have been
carefully eliminated. and the pro-
gramme this season is all bright and
fresh.
The handsome and novel street pro-
cession will parade over the principal
thoroughfares. starting from the tents
this morning at 10:30 O'Clock

MANY QUESTIONS ARE ASKED
INFORMATION DESIRED OF COM
BINATIONS AND TRUSTS.
General Committee of Chicago's Civic
Federation Mails Letters to Cor
porations and Labor Unions.

Chicago, July 16.-The general COM
mittee on arrangements for the confer
ence on combinations and trusts, called
by the civic federation of Chicago, has
mailed circular letters to $50 trusts and
combinations throughout the country
asking twenty-six questions such as the
number of organizations Included in the
consolidation; the number yet outside;
the original capital of the various con-
Germs now merged and the present cap
ital employed by the combination, and
the effect on prices of products; the
effect on labor as to displacement ana
rate of wages.
OF the labor unions in the various
crafts employed in these combinations,
questions are asked to the effect on
wages. on hours of work, and the num-
Der thrown out of employment by the
organization of trusts.
The questions addressed to the 500
national and local travelingmens or
ganizations throughout the country are
as follows:
l. How many commercial travellers in
your immediate vicinity have lost their
positions owing to the trust consolida-
tons?
g How many of those discharged be-
long to your local organization?
s. What effect have these combina-
lions had regarding the salary of COM
mercial travellers retained in their en-
ploy?
T. Estimate the number of CONNER
cial travellers residing in your local
ity?
5. What is your opinion of trusts and
industrial combinations and what is the
general sentiment expressed regarding
them?

of this system will be that each set of
replies may operate as a check upon
the others, so that the final result will
be an unquestionably accurate lot of
data on the essential points at issue
in the trust problem material which
win provide basis for argument in the
conference. The six questions addressed
to the wholesale dealers are as fol-
lows:
l. Are any or all of the articles in
which you deal. manufactured by
trust or combination?
. If any, please state what?
3. To what extent are you able TO buy
these goods, from sources outside of the
combination?
t. What has been the course of prices
since the combination on the goods you
sell? Please give as full statistics of
prices before and after combination as
you can, TO support your statement.
5. To what extent do you ascribe the
changes which have occurred to the
fact of combination and to what ex-
tent are they due to other causes? Give
any figures that you can of increase and
decrease in supply and demand, in sup
port of your views.
s. What is your opinion of the gen.
eral effect of the combinations in your
line on (a) the trade-the distributor
and OBJ the public-the consumer.

feared an immediate assessment for

to give their stock to anyone who

A half million dollars is a very large

any banks reserve cash. The officers
of the Third National bank ran here

the odium of their distress. The First
National bank, fearing a general
financial disaster, agreed to lend a
helping hand if the Union National
bank would do the same. The Union
National bank, after questioning and
delaying and questioning again, agreed
by its president, w. F. Coolbaugh, to
advance 100000 in cash of emergency.
Confidence came back again. With this
money and other promised assistance,
