ing the outbreak of an infectious
disease in his community, smallpox,
as was done by DIR. Bracken, Score
tary of the State Board of Health.
DIR. LaRue gives his reasons for
diagnosing the cases, which nearly
all came under his care--or he was
cognizant of the symptoms of each
as chicken pox, pure and simple.
After going minutely into all the
symptoms of each case the Doctor
says:
.;Dr. Bracken's application Of the
term "mild type" to this outbreak
Is very misleading, The public
might infer that more than one type
or kind of smallpox existed, when
there is bat one type of the disease.
One specific germ or poison is the
source Of all the grades or degrees of
this disease. Two grades are gene
rally considered, the discrete and
coufluent, which has reference only
to the number of pustules. The dis
crete indicates distinct or separated
pustules, and the continent, running
together OF the p ustules. Other terms
as semi-conhuent are used. The
terms malignant and benign refer
to the constitutional condition or
complication with other diseases.
Other symptoms being equal, the
more pustules the more severe the
grade. A case of either grade might
be called typical case, because the
disease smallpox has so many well
marked characterics peculiar only
to that disease. But there is positive
ly no "mild type and as positively
no mild grade Of ll-pox, except
that caused by the modification of
the number OF pustules by vaccina-
ton called varioloid.
Therefore, every case Of smallpox
nnmodified by vaccine is typical
case" without comparison, the most
infectious and contagious disease in
the calendar of diseases! No lex

the earth should have several years
hard study at school for not reeug-

most doctors are too prone to recog

toms ushering in the disease, such
as q chill, fever; nausea, and that

porter of the Journal yesterday in refer
ence to his candidacy for the nomination

fident Of receiving it. He stated that he had
the Endorsement of a great many news
papers In various parts of the State in adj
ditiOn to the personal assurances of support
from many OF the leading Republicans of
Indiana He said he was especially graft
fed that the support which he was receiving
and which in most instances had been I'M
solicited. came from all sections OF the
State. he referred to the fact that he had
already received assurances far In excess of
those he had received in 1896 and in many
Instances from men who for good reasons
were opposed 10 him at that time.
Mr.. Griffitbs bases his candidacy largely
upon the fact that for the past twenty years
he hos taken a very active part in cam
paigns In this State and has always been
willing TO go wherever the committee de-
sired to send him and has never considered
the location or Size of the town where he
was asked to speak

advantage to him i'm his present canvass

Says indianapolis May Find Itself
without Gas.

President Hastings. OF the indianapolis
Gas Company. in a conversation, last night,
said regarding the suit filed yesterday
against the gas company, that he had no
fear of the outcome of the suit, as the best
legal counsel in the country had united in
the opinion that the city had no authority
10 regulate the pressure, but could only
regulate the price TO be charged for gas He
said the old contract, which is the basis for
the suit, was so impracticable, even IL the
gas company had all the yas 1t needed, that
the company would be prohibited from liv-
ing up TO 1t, inasmuch as a pressure of four
ounces to the square inch al the point OF
consumption would be dangerous, and, in
fact, could not be handled. In his opinion,
there would be many fires resulting from
the gas shooting up fiues that insurance
underwriters would speedily raise the rates
In this city.
There never was a time" said he, "even
when gas was plentiful, when that much
pressure was in the pipes. and the contract
was never lived up to at any time. 1 don't
