SMALLPOX HIDDEN.
Severe Case in Barrett & Jackey Block
Causes Commotion.

One thing transpired yesterday in the
smallpox situation which has provoked
indignation and aroused alarm. It ex-
hibits the cunning of keepers of lodging
houses and furnished rooms to escape in
spection and avoid quarantine, the public
ity of which naturally rebounds to their
disadvantage by reason of the desertion
of odgers.
George C~avanaugh was discovered in
one of the furnished rooms of the Barrett
& Jackey block late yesterday afternoon
suffering from an acute form of the dis
ease and broken out. He had been laid
up with smallpox for over a week and
was attended by his wife. The physician
called in was a faith cure doctor named
Jones, who did nothing but rub him with
his bare hand. The faith doctor pro-
nounced the disease mountain fever. ac-
cording to the story of the land lady.
Whether the landlady had any faith
in the quack who attended Cavanaugh.
but on the other hand suspected the real
cause of Cavanaugh's sickness, is a mat
ter for conjecture only. At any rate,
when the patients employer called to as
certain the reason of Cavanaugh's ab-
sence from his work. he was refused ad-
mittance to the patients room. He COM
municated his suspicious to the health Of
ton of affairs in the Barrett & Jackey
1cer and in this name the real condi-
block was made known. Cavanaugh was
removed to the pest house.
Last night guards We're placed about
the building to prevent egress or ingress.
In some manner the dodgers working on
day shift got wind of the affair and did
not show up. and those employed at night
had made their escape before quarantine
was established. All that remained,
which embraced women and children.
were v~accinated. Health Inspector Cron-
in. therefore removed the guards this
morning. The building at this writing is
undergoing fumigation.
DIR. Alexander SAID this morning that
no new cases had been discovered. He
was considering whether it would not be
the proper thing to make an example Of
the landlady and the faith doctor. in or
der to deter others from pursuing the
sama methods of concealing cases Of
smallpox in their lodgings and furnish
ed rooms. 1t is expected that DR.. A1exan-
der will make some recommendation to
the council tonight.
This morning the lumber was ordered
for the small box detention hospital to
20 IN o the vacant lot at the corner
of Arizona and Galena streets. Before
night considerable progress will have
been made on the structure.

Twice a year, in spring and fall, Hen

but see what the other ''fellers," who
ak so much, are doing. When men and

made to please and satisfy every person.

1t was no easy thing to do, either, as he
had to go through the company's daily
record from the day the Gardens opened
up to the present.
The total number of passengers car
ried, it was found, was 1852, $50, which in
cludes both the paid fares and those who
had passage free. These figures cover a
period of about four months, as very
little business was lone at the Gardens
up to the latter part Of May; thus max
ing a monthly average of 1864, or a lit
tie over 1000 per day.
Mr.. Wharton is we'll pleased with the
first years record at Columbia Gardens.
