Luther Manship.

Luther Manship lectured at the Opera
House last night, to an intelligent and
appreciative, though small audience.
The fact is that the people have received
some disappOintments in the non arrival
of the expected lecturers, and they were
discouraged from coming out. Mr.. Man
ship deserved larger audience, which
he would have had under other circum-
stances. AS mimic he is hard to excel,
and he gets off the old time slavery negro
to perfection, you can almost imagine
you see ''Marse john" all Mr.. Manship
needs is Il black face. OF course we
don't mean that backing his face would
make him negrO-but then you couldn't
tell the difference for the time being
He got off the Irishman about as well as
the negro. He has wonderful control
over his face and can instantly change it
from the happy rollicing youth to the
withered, drawn and wrinkled face of
extreme old age. 1t is no effort for him
to suddenly change from the sublime to
the ridiculous, from the most touching
and pathetic to the most mirth provok-
ing. The universal telephone, the old
lady going to the pest house, my Marse
John and several other stories were told in
mastery manner. The Heely cure for
intemperance is novel cure and is pos
sibly about the only remedy that would
be effective with some men.

Authentic reports, mostly official,
show total Of 37S Filipinos killed,
IL officers and 244 men captured and
many more wounded, the number
being hardly guessable. AS tho Fill.
ipinos are without hospital facilities,
large percentage Of the wounded
will die, The casualty list OF the in
surSents for the week will probably
reach LOCO. The Americans total
loss was nine killed and sixteen
wounded.
1t seems that the conquering OF
the Filipinos will mean their sIter-
mination. 1t is like killing gnats, as
soon as one is killed there are dozen
others to spring up. The Pittsburg
Post propounds pertinent question
when it asks "If 100000 British have
not been able to whip 40, 900 Beers in
six months, how long will it take Co.,
600 Americans to subdue 100000
Filipinos?" Echo answers how long?

The Small POX Situation.

Mr.. Workman. the man at the Whit
lock house, who has been suffering from
the disease some two weeks, is GONZALES
cent, and is so far ON the road to re-
covery, that he his been removed back
to the railroad camps, and the quarantine
has been raised from the Whitlock house.
The parties in the house were vaccinated,
the vaccination is taking all light and
there aIe no symptoms of them taking
the small pox. The Doctor says that
Mr.. Workman had very bad case
and lie was very uneasy at one time.
MIR. CLIFTON.
Mr.. Clifton, the small poX patient on
Church street, who broke out last week,
is also developing bad case, but the
Doctor does not anticipate as bad a case
as that of Mr.. Workman, as the symp-
toms Of the trouble in the throat are not
Dad. There is not a soul on the premises
except Mr.. Clifton and his faithful wife.
No one is allowed to go or come except
the attending physician. The near
ntlghborS are very uneasy, but we do
not think they need apprehend any
danger, as there never was possibly Il
more isolated or better quarantined case
than this. The family even keep the
windows of the house closed, and are
using every means known TO keep it in-
side the house. This beats all the quar-
antine we have seen so far. The house
looks desOlate indeed. 1t is IA pity for
the desolate wife to have all the reSpon-
sibility and care upon her shoulders with
out any help Isn't there any immune
female in town who will volunteer her
services to go to Mrs. Clifton's assistance,
and remain in the house. A frieEd in
need is friend indeed. This would be
friendly act indeed. 1t will be teri IDLY
tying upon the devoted wife when during
the worst period, she is compelled 10 keep
her vigils alone with no one TO lerd a
helping hand, or give her an hours rest.
1t is reported that there are several
other cases on the factory hill, knitting
mill bill, also section known as "Chinch
Row." but we understand the number
has been exaggerated, and that the cases
are being looked after.
We understand that number of
women on the factory hill positively re-
fused to be vaccinated, as result lady
was arrested by the Sheriff before she
would consent to the vaccination. The
compulsory vaccination is being vigor-
onsly pushed from house to house in
every ward of the town, and when it is
over small pox will find very little foot

DANGEROUS Practice.

Some miscreants placed an iron coup
ling pin on the railroad track near Church
street crossing last Monday in such u
manner that an engine coming north
would not have knocked it off but would
more probably have been thrown in the
ditch A railroad man walking up the track
discovered it. lie also stated that some
one had driven an old brake shoe in
between the points of frog on the new
road to Buffalo few days ago and
he fortunately discovered it while walk
ing in front of the engine in time TO
avoid trouble. The obstruction would
surely have thrown the engine from the
track. This may seem to be great fun
for some mischievous boys but it is a
very dangerous practice, and il any one
is caught at this malicious mischief a
lasting example should be made of him.

At Work I'm Earnest Now.

1t is with pleasure that we announce
that The Board Of Health officers of the
town have gone to work with will and
any timidity or prOcrastinatiOn that may
have existed have N EN- thrown aside and
they are going to work in 4 minner that
will surely purge the town of the dread
malady, small pOx. They ale making
personal canvass of the town, ward by
ward, and enforcing the compulsory
vaccination law. In addition to this a
guard has been placed on every road
leading from the town, aiid no ono is ai-
lowed to leave the town without a Gel
tiiicate of vaccination, q physician and
guard are also stationed at the depot,
and no one allowed TO board an outgoing
train without a certificate or submit ny
to vaccination. THIS is II laudablc ac-
ton of the Board OF Health, and removes
the danger Of the disease being carried to
some other town from Union. They
have secured lot Of 4 acres of land
from Mrs. John Eison, 2 miles from
town where quarantine station or pest
house will be built. There have been Il
cases quarantined at the Putt house in
the country so far, some of whom lravc
recovered and BEN allowed TO leave.
While some new cases have been reported
in the last few days, we believe that by
prompt action in establishing al effective
quarantine of the premises, the diseas o
Can easily be kept under control. The
citizens Of the town should stand ready
TO lend the Board of Health every az
sistance, and promptly report any sus-
pected case, so that an Investigation can
be made without delay. The Board OF
Health now deserve the commendation
OF the ciliZens of the town for their
earnest efforts to suppress the disease
and prevent its further spreading.
