IN vANDERBURG COUNTY.
Nine New Cases of Smallpox Have
Been Reported.

Been Reported.
The State Board of Health received word
yesterday of nine new cases OF smallpox
in Vanderburg county, which were said by
the local health officer to have appeared
since the first of the month. The board also
received word that there were many new
cases in Clay county, one or two cases of
which are said to be very serious.
The fact that the disease has broken out
again proves conclusively that the quaran-
tine regulations are not closely observed.
DR.. Hurry said that the disease was now
prevalent in fourteen counties of the State.
which includes the counties of Greene,
Washington, Jackson, Clay, Noble, Vigo.
Vanderburg Delaware, Madison, Sullivan,
Owen, Posey, Floyd and Clark.
DR.. Hurry received word yesterday from
Washington county that the quarantine
had been raised in that county, as the dis
ease had been thoroughly stamped out by
a rigid Enforcement OF the quarantine laws.
The State Board of Health is doing every
thing possible to master the epidemic and
Dr. Hurry said yesterday If the infected
districts would help themselves by observ-
ing the quarantine regulations IL would
not be long before the disease would be un-
der control.

SILVER AND AGRICULTURE.

Ex-Governor Hosrd's paper at Fit. At
kinson, tells something of the greatness
of agriculture, and by comparison the
httlen,ss of silver, which is shown by
the report of Director John R. Sage OF
the Iowa weather and crop service for
the year 1900. The figures for this state
are astounding, but nevertheless are
said to be conservative The total value
of farm products is 1929, s05. O5S. Add
to this the increment gained by con.
sumption of crops in the production Of
beef, pork, mutton. wool, dairy and
poultry products and the grand total il
brought up to s270, 900, 900, over Ave
times the production of silver in the
whole United States in any year.

A cESTuRYoF WASHINGTON.


One hundred years ago this week the
United States Congress began its first
session in Washington. A little sloop
had sailed up the Patomac with few
boxes of records and some minor officials
John Marshal Oliver Wolcott, Samuel
Dexter, and Benjimen Stoddart brave
in cooked hats, powdered wigs, and
broadcloth coats, drove into town and
set their few clerks TO work in the
State, Treasury, War and Navy Depart
ments. After getting lost in the woods
on the way from Baltimore, the Presi-
dent and his family had occupied the
unfinished White House, in whose great
east room Mrs. Adams all that winter
dried her washing Members of Con-
gress came by twos and threes, mostly
on horseback, and on the third Monday
in November quorum was present.
These first official residents Of WEI h-
ington were not pleased with the rev
capital The magnificent city that
L'Enfsnt's genius had planned existed
only on paper One small wing OF the
capital stood lonesome on its hill. Penn
sylvania avenue was an alder swamp.
The little huddle of department offices
r ar the White House looked all the
shabbier by the contrast with it's sand
stone walls. The private houses were
so small and poor that most of the mem
bers of congress had to lodge in George
town.
To most Europeans and many educat-
ed Americans the United States then
seemed as far from being a nation as its
capital from being city. The Repub-
lies western boundary was the Mississ-
ippi. 1t was cut off from the Gulf of
Mexico by the domains of Spain and
France Within four years British
troops had still held its soil at Detroit.
American merchants pale tribute to the
Barbary corsairs and American seamen
were enslaved by British press gangs.
For more than year it had actually

The congress which then gathered in
Washington gave laws to only s27, s44
square miles of territory and represent
ed little more than 600, 900 faction-rent
people.
In few days there viii assemble in
the same capital the law givers Of 3,727,-
GAS square miles, representing more than
76, 900, 900 people so firmly united that
they would regard the suggestions of
civil war and disunion so common in
1900 as the rawlings of madmen- Then /
the American flag hoated over sixteen |
states and two territories. Now it
waves from ocean to ocean, from tropic |
to frozen seas, in islands which then |
only a few adventurous seaman had
even seen. and on its glorious folds the
sun never sets.
Then L'Enfant saw a struggling vii |
lage in the woods, dreamed Of q capital
of nation of $4,000, 900 people and
was ridiculed The reality has out
run his utmost hopes The city he plan
ned is in all material aspects the most
splendid of all modern capitals. The
nation is the most prosperous and power
full on the globe.
Such are the changes of 100 years. -

Pullman Company Unable to Sup
ply Calls fo- Sleeping Cars.

The plan of handling trains by telephone
has not been looked for. and not only the
Baltimore & Ohio. but other important sys-
TENS are experimenting in tina direction
and 10 such an extent as 10 give teleg-
raphers some uneasiness. The new method
thus far has been quite successful. THE
adoption of the system says an official.
means a deal to the railroad company
and is most distinctly a step in advance.
We will be able TO equip our offices with
trained employes-men who have been in
the train service and who are familiar with
teal experience. We have. and so have
all roads. trainmen who have become in
jured while on duty, who are not able 10 do
heavy work or who have lost one or more
limbs. Their minds are as bright as ever
and their knowledge of railroading unim-
paired. 1t stands to reason that these men
can better meet the emergencies that con-
front an operator than a young and in
experienced person who holds the position
because of a knowledge of telegraphy.
Take an old negineer who has roughed IL
for years. He knows the whistle of every
locomotive on his division, how long il
takes TO go from one station to another and
a thousand and one details that eminently
ft him for a tower operator. His ex-
perience will be of benefit TO the company.
and he will have employment suited TO his
capabilities and will not have TO waste the
information gathered during years of run
ming on the road. 1t strikes me that the
telephone will come into very general use
for this purpose and give employment TO
disabled engineers, conductors, fremen.

Pullman Cars In Demand.

Mention was made last week that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company had
placed an order with the Pullman company
for thirteen new coaches and six combina-
ton cars. making the largest order that
has been given by the Pennsylvania in
many years. The new coaches are to be
built according to the latest design, and it
is said they will be used on the through
and local train service of the lines West.
At the present time all the lines out of this
city are suffering more or less from a
scarcity OF cars. owing 10 the exceptionally
heavy travel this summer. The Pennsyl-
vania Company requested that the new
cars be delivered. ready for use, at the
earliest date possible. A local passenger Of
fetal. in discussing the travel this season.
says: lit is remarkable the number of
people that are being carried on the rail-
roads. Five years ago the Pullman COM
pany had cars to spare, but to-day every
available one is being utilized. which shows
that the day coach is gradually growing In
Ill favor with the American people and
that prosperity is increasing passenger
business"
