23rd, 1899, 1923 cases and twenty
seven deaths were reported, while
for the same period OF the present
year 5,077 cases and 81 deaths have

the unusual difficulty in restricting
the disease under the present con-
dition OF mildness there is good
reason to believe that the small pox
will continue to increase until it is
widespread throughout the state.
Under these circumstances the
recommendations of the state board
of health are exceedingly important
and should be given attention by all

responsible for the young, as, for
instance. parents, teachers and all
school officers, Every person who

Holds That The Plaintiff Was Not Guilty Of

THE juRrs FINDING IS SUSTAINED.

The big verdict OF $4,000 obtained by
Swan Swanson against the Union Rail-
road Company will stand, as in an
opinion handed down today the appel
late refuses the defendants petition for
a new trial. Swanson was run over by
an electric car and one leg was SO in
jured that amputation was necessary.
The opinion in the case is as follows:
Per curiam. The issue argued on
the petition for new trial was the
question OF contributory negligence.
There is testimony that the plaintiff
after getting off the car before starting
to cross the track on which the north
bound car was approaching, looked to
see whether a car was coming. This
claim on the part of the plaintiff is
that as the car from which he alighted
moved away. the angle OF vision was
sufficiently great to enable him to see
far enough along the track in the di-
rection of the approaching car TO have
seen II in time TO have saved himself
from injury but for the negligence OF
the motorman in running the car at an
excessive rate OF speed. We think that
on the testimony the question OF con-
tributory negligence was for the jury.
and that their finding is sustained by
the evidence.
"The defendant contends that the
damages awarded were excessive.
Though we should have been better
satisfied II the amount awarded had
been less, II is not so clearly excess
that ground.

pleas division with direction 10 enter

London. May 81, 2:22 p. m.-The AS
sociated Press is able to say that no
message from President Kruger. direct
or indirect. has recently been received
by Lord Salisbury or by a department
OF the British government nor, II may
be added, is any communication from
him dealing with the question of the
cessation OF hostilites expected by
them in the immediate future. The pro-
posals of peace. according TO the gov
ernment's view will remain a matter
OF military progress. How soon the
latter may bring about the former is
still too suppositional question for
serious forecast on the part OF any high
governmental official.
The concensus of opinion as CLEANED
by the Associated Press at the gov
ernment offices is that the Boer dele
gates Will exhaust every effort IN the
United States before President Kruger
sues directly, though Lord Salisbury
himself does not believe the delegates
will accomplish much in America. q
