SECOND
CASE OF SMALLPOX DUE TO CARE
LESSNESS OF COLORADO
AUTHORITIES.
Ranch Hand Develops the Dread Dis
ease and is Hurried off 20 the Pest
House-Two Cases There Now
This Man Ate at the Place Where
Mrs. Halves Cooked.

The second case of smallpox in Lar
of the authorities of Pueblo, Colo, was
found this morning and the victim was
taken to the pest house. The infec-
ton in this case came from the first
one, and while all the regular precau.
tons have been taken there is a pos
sibility that other cases will appear
About W weeks ago Mrs. Halves, who
lives OF First street south of the creek,
was taken ill with the disease. Inves-
.tigation showed that two children, her
sisters, had recently come from Pu.
eblo. where they were inmates of an
orphans home. In that institution
there had been an epidemic of small
pox and the children had beer allowed
to come away before the infection had
been completely stamped out.
Before this case came to the atten-
ton of County Physician Miller there
had been a good deal of communication
between this family and other fami-
lies, and it is therefore not surprising
to the physicians that the infection
was spread more or less before their
attention vas called to the case.
A Ranch Hand.
The case that was revealed this
morning was that of a ranch hand who
for several days boarded at a place
where Mrs. Halves was cooking. He
left there and wen to the Crawford
ranch. Fol the past week he has not
been feeling well and as he grew worse
determined to come to town and con-
suit a physician. He did so and it was
at once seen that he had a well-devel-
oped, though not very serious, attack
OF smallpox. He was hurried to the
pest house, where Mrs. Halves now is.
1t does not necessarily follow that
there will be other cases of the disease
in Laramie, but the fact that this case
is due directly to the first makes the
possibility of wider infection distinctly
a serious one, and the county physi-
clan and other doctors are watching
very closely for further signs.

figures. As the Chicago shorts have con- tracted to sell at least twice as much pork as they can possibly obtain, they will have to settle on a basis of a profit that will be at least SIG a barrel. The price in Chicago has already been advanced from s11 .5O in September to $l7
 New mess pork is for some reason or req. sons scarce. and this renders the Lipton corner very feasible. The entire Chicago stock is only about 3000O barrels, and the entire stock of all Western cities is esti- mated at 3S,O00 barrels. Lpton's contracts call for pork of the contract grade packed since October 1 of last year.
 The Lipton agents are proceeding very shrewdly. They sell no pork to the Chicago shorts, but are selling some to the Southern trade. They take the pork from the bar rels, cut il into pork strips pack 1t in salt loosely. and ship it to the land of cot ton. There are 200 pounds of pork in bar rel If the contents of a barrel are sold at 6ls cents pound in the form of pork strips" Sir Thomas makes d small profit, while he names a heavy profit on all pork the shorts have agreed to deliver to him and cannot.
 Unlike the Leier corner in wheat the Lip ton corner in pork cannot be broken by an avalanche of the product. The Lipton pork must be delivered this month, and hogs cannot be killed to fill the contracts, be- cause it takes forty days to cure pork. The shorts will have to settle on the best terms they can secure from the contestant for the Americas s cup. They stand to pay either for the old Shamrock or for new one.

ssooO CHRISTENING RING
From the Chicago American.

From the Chicago American.
 Asheville, N. C.-With the aid of mar velous christening ring that cost S60O0 and that once graced the hand of princess Of the blood royal on the occasion of another christening some 200 years ago, the Wander bilt baby was formally named Cornela Stuyvesant.
 The ceremony took place in All Souls Protestant Episcopal church, near the Van derU.lt country estate at Biltmore. The Rev. pr. R. R. Swope officiated. Only MT and Mrs. George w. Vanderbilt, the happy parents. and a few intimate friends, were present.
 The baby was born at Bitmore on Au- gust % Although it will be heir to great riches its fortune would have been still greater had it been boy, as there is one half million dollars ayear and marble palace in Fifth avenue left by the late William H. Vanderbilt, which will go to the son of George, and if he has no male issue will pass to young Cornelius Vanderbilt.
 The christening ring was purchased by MT. Vanderbilt in Europe. Curiously enough it bears the initials, "E. D., those of Mrs. Vanderbilt. The ring is of dull Burmese gold, set with a pure white opal It will be worn by Miss Vanderbilt on the little finger of her left hand
 In it's antique setting it is identical with the famous marriage ring given by the Emperor Napoleon to Josephine

sHAK EsPEARE AND JOHN b.

From the Chicago News
 Prof Triggs of the University of Chicago is entitled to vote of thanks for having redeemed the United States from absurd stigma which stupid tradition has fastened upon it. With one stroke the professor over- throws the ridiculous superstition that this country has produced no supreme exponent of human genius. He shows that if Italy has her Dante France her Moliere, Ger many her Goethe, England her Shake speake, we have our John D. Rockefeller. John D., says the professor, is fully the peer of Shakespeare - sentiment which will presumably arouse John D.'s scornful repudidtion. For who was Shakespeare and what did he do? He imagined certain plays and characters-a fat, foolish Hamlet; a swarthy and dsreputable Othello; a wicked Macbeth. But did he ever bull St Paul? Did he ever find misguided person trying to refine petroleum and grind the life out of him? Did he ever make $50 000, GOO in a year? Did he ever endow a university and provide ample funds to pay the salaries of learned professors? Never once. John D. Rockefeller could buy Shakespeare a thou sand times over so what could be plainer than that John D. is infinitely the greater man? The comparison might be extended great distance. What did Homer ever do that he should be mentioned in the same breath with John w. Gates? What sane person could think of comparing Michael Angelo with Sam Allerton? Where were Michaers street railroads and dividends? Away with these muSty and silly supersti- tions Why wantonly insult the Messrs. Moore by insinuating that Moses and Eze ke were some pumpkins? Did they possess the creative faculty to make $10000,0O0 in three years?
 Dryden and Goldsmith were mere tramps What do the miserable fellows mean by posthumously obtrudiug themselves in the company of the Rockefellers and Gonlds and laying commands upon mems minds which will be obeyed to the end of time?

Steel Rail Contracts.

The Pennsylvania and other Eastern railroads that have tracks in the yards of the six rail mills of the country, have placed orders for 265,- 600 tons of rails at $26 a ton. The Carnegie interests did not cut the price, because they could secure the largest slice al the higher rate, and the railroads could afford to pay the higher rate because they will regain in freight all that they lose in price.
 There wil it is now claimed by the rail mills, be no s22 rails this year up to the fafl season at least. The difference of S4 a ton is a tax upon wheat consumers and cotton consumers and all other consumers, and the consumers will face about and endeavor 10 take some of it out of the pro- ducers.
 There is no help for it under the present Dhgley- Nc Kinley tariff Any sort of a combination is possible. and the six rail mills, and the six railroads that carry the rails from the six mills can always be de- pended upon to form a combination that will tax severely the people. To all intents and purposes this country is an oligarchy and the chief oligarchs are the tariff-made and tarlff- protected monopolies every one of which desires Republican success, and } is paying heavily to secure it.

Tar.ff Made Trusts.

There are trusts in England, but they are harmless, because they cannot put up or down prices. They cannot therefore, squeeze consumers, or crush riva.s. Under the Dingley- Mckinley robber tariff the American trusts can do both. The tariff made their existence possible, and they are paying millions into the Hanna campaign fund to maintain it in order that they may fatten on consumers aftsr crushing out all rivals. The New York World has prepared a table which shows what they are doing in this country, as compared with prices in England. We give portion of it, as fol- lows:

GIRL, ARRIVING CANES

N. Y Letter in the Pittsburg Dispatch
 The girl with the cane is the latest novel, ty that New York has produced. She was seen in Fifth avenue today yielding a dain- ty stick in harmony with the movements made by the heavier one of her escort. She seemed quite familiar with the use of this mannish article. There was no hesltancy in the way it touched the pavement with every step taken giving forth a musical click. The cane was slender and slightly longer than that usually carried by man, and had straight handle.

ELEPHANTS BECOMING SCARCE

From the London Globe.
 It is no secret to those concerned in Ori- ental trade that elephants are becoming scarce; but not many people in England know what has been the increase in price. According to our consul at Chiengmai, the price in Northern Siam has gone up three fold In that country the elephant is es- sential to drag timber from the forests. and while the cost of animal power has in. creased to such an extent, manual labor has also become more expensive, and, like elephantine labor, is becoming exceedingly difficult to obtain.

 This is the most quiet Presidential cam paign since the war. One may sit about the hotel Hobbies by the hour and never hear the slightest mention of the approach ing election. Four years ago from sunset till fnidnight there nightly gathered crowds on the avenue from the National Hotel to Willard's bosterously, dogmatically and lg- norantly discussing politics. It was the same at the Riggs, the Arlington, at Chamber lin's, at the Shoreham and at the Norman die. Now politics is tabood at all those nlaces.

American English

Every cent above the English price at least is d tax levied by the robber tariff upon the people for the benefit of the trusts that make up the Hanna Mckinley campaign fund, The scheme is complete, and every dollar of the heavy tax is taken from the pockets of the people. This is what McKinleyism stands for. This is what Hannaism is. The tariffmade trusts own and conduct the government, and until William Mckinley is turned out of office they will own and conduct it.

PROTECTION AND STRIKERS

From the Kansas City Times.
 More than any state in the Union, not even excepting Massachusetts, Pennsyl- vania has been more largely the beneficiary of the protective tariff which robs the mass of our citizens to put money in the pockets of a favored class, and yet Pennsylvania has been oftener the scene of great labor strikes than any state in the Union.
