The Nippon Meru euarantined.

The Board OF Health wisely decid-
ed on Saturday afternoon to place
the Nippon Maru in quarantine, in
asmuch as an autopsy disclosed that
the death OF Chinaman, who died
three days prior to the arrival OF
the vessel, was caused by the black
plague. The ships physician, it is
claimed, had given more innocent
cause of death. The community at
large should most strenuously sup
port the Government in making he
quarantine from Asiatic ports as
elficacious aud stringent as possible
Enquiry at the Board OF Health
this morning elected the following
facts: The Nippon Maru is not de-
tanned by the Government but the
ship is in practical pratique. She
cannot come into port nor land her
passengers bat may proceed on her
journey. A compromise PROPOSE
tion, however, is under consideration
and tha at is for the ship to take on
the necessary three or four hundred
tons OF coal to enable her to pro-
ceed, and for her to trauship her
passengers, including some 244 Asi-
atics to the S. S. City of Columbia
for quarantine, the Nippon guarau
teeing all expenses to the Govern
ment. The Govern ment declines to
allow the passengers to be landed
on Quarantine Island, but the Co,
lumbia is willing to go and remain
outside during quarantine. The
following from the Argonaut Of
June 9th is very pertinent:
"The disease is extremely con-
tasions, as is shown by the estab
lished fact that when it breaks out
in a house the plague does not cease
until all, or nearly all, 10 the house
hold have been affected People
having relations with an infected
house will take the disease and
carry it to others. The general be-
lief among medical men is that it
may also be carried by clothing and
even by merchandise.
"Such being its nature is there
not grave danger in the increas-
ing intercourse between this city
and the Orient, where the disease,
il not endemic, is at least frequently
epidemic? Soldiers, with their. be-
longings, in health and in sickness,
are being carried back and forth
the dead bodies of those killed in
war or dying from disease ara being
shipped here in numbers. The in

Says man on the spot where the
plague is raging, the editor of the
Bombay Gazette: "We believe we
are right in stating that perhaps
none of the special students who
have left Bombay omitted to carry
away with him a tube of microbes
to enable him to study the plague.
There is a bylaw which forbids the
carrying of matches or explosives
on board steamers, and yet the carry
ing of tons of gunpowder or dyna-
mite is not 80 dangerous as the tiny
tube OF cultures carried by an ire
sponsible medico The
possibilities of little phial of mi
crobes are incalculable. They might
decimate the population OF great
city"

The writer in Harper's Weekly
says: "There is phase of the stu

port of plague germs to every cor
ner of Christendom by the doctors
and the medical students who have
gone to India, first from Japan and
since from every part OF Europe
and America to study the epidemic" )"
Our medicine men gathered fluid
from the cadaver on board the ship
at our door and sent it on shore to
be examined and possibly to have
cultures made from the germs.

Jury mt Kansas City Finds Him Not
Guilty OF the Charge Of
Train Robbery.

Kansas City, No., March 1.-Young
dit whose name he bears, has been adj
judged not guilty OF completely in the
robbery of a Missouri Pacific express
train at Leeds. in the outskirts of Kan
sas City. The robbery which the police
accused young James OF leading, was
committed on September 20, last, and
was the last of the numerous train rob
berries in the outskirts OF Kansas City.
The jury was out less than an hour,
and the verdict OF acquittal was reached
on the first ballot. The courtroom was
packed with friends Of young James,
among them being his uncle, Frank
James, of St. Louis, and the announce
ment OF the verdict was the signal for
applause and cheering that neither
the judge nor bailiffs could suppress.
In returning their verdict of acquit-
tai the jurors were compelled 10 dis
credit entirely the confession of Witness
w. w. Lowe, who admitted being a
member OF the band, and who described
the robbery in every detail, duplicating
as his accomplices young James and
Ryan Evans" alias Bill Ryan, and
several others. After returning the
verdict members Of the jury stated that
they could not accept the Lowe confess
sion or the theory Of the police, adding
that the police located James in too
many places in a very brief time, and
that they could not believe that a youth
OF his years could take such a part in
a train robbery as the police charged,
and appear in so many places in less
than an hour. The police were unable
10 show that James was away from his
home in Kansas City a full hour on the
night Of the robbery, and witnesses for
the defense made this time much brief
er, Mrs. Ssmuels, the defendants
grandmother, even testifying that
Jesse was sitting on the porch with her
when the robbers exploded the dyna-
mite hat wrecked the safes, and that
they heard the explosion.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic

the merits OF Pe-ru-na as a catarrh rem

hundreds of such letters daily. All
classes write these letters, from the

The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti-

the catarrh remedy of the age. The
stage and rostrum, recognizing catarrh
as their greatest enemy, are especially
enthusiastic in their praise and testi-

Any man who wishes perfect health
must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca
tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost
omnipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only abb
solute safeguard known. A cold is the
beginning Of catarrh. To prevent colds,
TO cure colds, is TO cheat catarrh out OF
its victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca
