NOT SERIOUS
Armstrong Smith is
Slightly Ill.
DR., Hoffman, Makes an Official State.
ment of His Condition --Sensi-
tive FemoraI Gland.

Armstrong Smith, the faithful vol
unteer at the most important post of
duty in the present epidemic, is Ill of
bronchitis at the pest hospital, where
he has been manager since its estab-
lishment on January 10th. For two or
three days Mr.. Smith has been ailing.
By reason Of his having been exposed
to infection, news of his sickness soon
became noised abroad, and it was gen
orally believed about town yesterday
that he had caught the plague.
In the afternoon, at Mr.. Smiths re-
quest, DR.. Hoffman, placed him under
special treatment, in order that safe
measures and timely medical attend
ance, might prevent the possibility of
plague infection passing into his sys-
TEN and thus getting beyond control.
A sensitiveness is apparent in the fem
oral region and his temperature is
slightly above the normal.
In order that no further false re-
ports might go abroad about his con-
dition, DR.. Hoffman, made the follow
ing statement last night in regard to
Mr.. Smiths condition, the latter as
senting to its publication:
Armstrong Smith, who has been
suffering from bronchitis for the last
two days, has tonight a temperature of
100 3-5, and a pulse OF 7S. He also
has a slight swelling of the glands in
the right femoral and inguinal re-
gions. The glands themselves are
slightly sensitive. Inasmuch as he has
been exposed to the infection, l consid-
cred it safer to inject the anti-plague
serum"
Two doses of the serum were inject
ed last evening as a precautionary
measure. Mr.. Smith said he felt no
alarm over the sensitiveness in the
femoral gland, and further states his
extreme confidence in DR.. Hoffmann's
ability to bring him back to his usual
Nphysical strength within very short
| time.
Mr.. Smith said to an Advertiser rep
tesentative last night: Il don't want
ymy friends to feel the slightest alarm
or anxiety about me. l don't think
have the plague at all and feel sure
will be able to go on duty again in 9
few days"

TRAMP'S BOLD CRIME
Negro Breaks Into House on
West Side.
STRIKES MRS. BIRDSELL
She Is Unconscious at Late
Hour This Morning.

About 10 o'clock last night q negro
tramp broke into the house Of Mr.. Bird
eel at III North Ook street, West Side,
probably with intent to burgIarize the
place. Mrs. BirdseiI was il the house
alone. She attempted to interfere and
the negro struck her PatroIman Smith
heard the womaRs screams and rushed
70 her assistance, but too late to catch
the negro, who. frightened by the cries
Of Mrs Birdsell, left the house and hast
ened away. The officer found Mrs. Bind
sell In Mysteries when he arrived, and
Ter terrible state OF nervousness needed
sttention and prevented him from fol-
aowing IN pursuit OF the negro. Mrs.
BirdseII was unconscious and could not
explain. and nothing could be learned
until Dr. Jordan, city physician arrived.
At late hour she was not conscious
enough 10 explain the particulars Of the
affair though, aside from the fright and
nervous shock, DR.. Jordan said Mrs.
Birdsel had not been injured.
The affair was reported at the police
station as soon as possible and the de-
tecuves are at work On the case, though
with what success Is not known. II IS
known that the assailant was a negro,
for Mrs. BirdseII recovered conscious
hess sufficiently to state this much, and It
was found where he had broken into the
house at the rear L IS said that a negro
tramp has been seen in the vicinity OF
Mr. and Mrs. Birdseu's home for three
CT four days, and it is thought he is the
man who did the work.
Mrs. BirdseI was alone last night. Her
husband IS employed at the ice house
near by and the negro had learned this
fact from having been IN the vicinity
begging. He would doubtless have &C
compIished his robbery had he not awa1-
ened Mrs. Birdseu while breaking into
the house, and her terrific screams fright
ened him away.
Great indignation spread over the Vi
cinity after the news got out. and there
is said to have been some threats OF a
serious character.

in Ten Days.
ARE MODERNLY EQUIPPED

Six Of the winter cars that ara TO be
used in the new street railway arrived
yesterday overthe Frisco from Cincin-
natl, and VIII De unloaded and taken TO
the car barn this morning. They viii not
De used on the old track. and probably
before they are needed the rev summer
cars viii have arrived But track laying
is going On rapidly on the North Topeka
avenue line and it may be that these
cars VIII be used as emergency cars on
the new track until the new cars arrive.
The cars that arrived yesterday are re-
built cars, but are as good as new in
every respect. They are about the same
size and style OF the old ones, but have
the modern improvements. They are
fitted with double motors and the Peck
ham flexible gear, which is said TO be the
latest and most serviceable trucks in use
at the present tine. The motors are en-
closed in sheetfron covers, which protect
the motors from water. slush and mud
The trucks ara also fitted with track
scrapers, so there will be put little need
hereafter OF the man with the broom.
The cars have very nicely arranged vesti-
bules, one side being closed, so that per-
sons may get on and off al the right
side Of the car. They are also furnished
with iron gates. There IS an electric
paraooltc headlight OF strong reflective
power The cars are painted a bright
yellow and trimmed IN red and white
with gold and silver lines about the
edges. The interior Of the cars are very
pretty and convenient. They are finish
ed with FURNISHED birds eye maple and
naahoEany. There is an electric button
instead OF the old style bell cord, so that
when one wants to stop the car all one
has to do is to push the button. Each
car Is furnished with ar electric heater.
Manager Church said yesterday that he
thought the Topeka avenue line would be
finished in a week or ten days, when
these cars would be put on and run to
Thirteenth street and back TO Douglas.
The ten new summer cars will arrive in
time for the summer business, and then
all the old cars Will be dumped into the
scrap iron pile.

WANTS A RECEIVER APPOINTED
Dave Leahy Claims That Collins Is
Irving 20 COnfiseate the Register.

David D. Leahy fled a petition in the
district court yesterday asking for re-
ceiver for the Register Publishing COM
pany, with which he associated himself
last November as editor. Owing 20 q
disagreement with Mr. Collins, his part
ner Mr.. Leahy withdrew from editorial
charge Of the paper a few days ago. and
ne claims in his petition fled yesterday
that Mr.. Collins Is attempting TO c0nfs-
cate the entire plant for his own benefit.
The petition states that when the COM
pany began the publication ofthe Regis
ter last November that the concern was
chartered under the laws Of the state,
but that no meeting or the corporation
was ever held. no capital stock was ever
subscribed. and that the corporation was
never duly or legally organized, and
therefore nothing more than mere
partnership existed al any time. Il IS
stated that at the beginning Mr.. Collins
put into the business 500. Mr.. Leahy
800 and Mr.. George Locke 500. on jan
uary s Mr.. Locke withdrew, selling his
interest 10 Collins and Leahy. The IN
derscanding Is said TO have been that
Mr.. Leahy was to receive $50 per week
for his services, and that there IS due at
this time on back salary and interest
which he has in the plant, about S611. It
IS alleged that the concern IS consider
ably IN debt and that If Mr. Collins IS
not prevented by an order Of court he
viii sell or mortgage the entire concern
70 his own benefit, leaving Mr.. Leahy out
in the cold. Mr.. Leahy therefore asks the
court to appoint a receiver to take charge
Of the affairs of the paper.
Mr.. Collins appeared in court with his
attorneys, Adams & Adams, and pro
tested against the appointment Of a re-
