SMALLPOX IN STATE.
SECRETARY BRACKEN TAKES
PHYSICIANS SEVERELY TO TASK.

In the current number of the St Paul
Medical Journal is q caustic letter from
DR. H NJ. Bracken, secretary of the
state board of health, relative to recent
outbreaks of smallpox in various parts
of the state:
1t may be an opportune moment to say
something about the present widespread
epidemic of smallpox. warning note
was sounded by the state board Of
health at its July meeting In 1899 but
this warning was unheeded and even rid
iculed by many.
But have We smallpox in our midst?
Most certainly. There are four classes
of physicians who still dispute the fact.
First, the physician who has no conf
dence in any ones diagnosis but his own,
and who contends that there is no small
pox in his place until he himself has
seen a case and announced the fact
Second the physician who cannot dag
nose a mild case of smallpox when he
sees it. Third, the physician who has
failed to diagnose the disease on its first
appearance and who has not the gSod
sense to acknowledge his error when rec
ogniZed Fourth, the physician who tries
to make out that we have a new disease
The physician of the first and second
classes IS often combined. 1t is not I'M
common to find physician who enbodies
the weaknesses of the first three Of these
divisions. The physicians of the fourth
class are such men land women) as we
expect to find making a distinction be
calling one scarlet rash and the other
scarlet fever.
The controversy as to whether smallpox
is or is not present has arisen largely
! because of the mldneSs of the disease.
The man who can only recognize what
1t to be a fatal case of smallpox deserves
no credit. Any one can do that. We all
know that there are mild epidemics of
scarlatina, of diphtheria, of measles and
why should there not be Of smallpox?
Were this mild form of smallpox now
making It's first appearance at the present
time, there might be some excuse for
F! failing to recognize it, But what are the
facts? The disease has been prevailing
in this mild form in some part of the
United States for at least three years.
The medical journals, State and National
Medical societies have discussed the
facts fully State after state has had
its epidemic and its fight
Kentucky quarantined more than one
county in 1897 to prevent the further
! spread of smallpox. Ohio has been con-
tending with this disease and unbelevers
since 1898, and last November reported
about 2, 400 cases ''in the past year" In
diana is now in the tolls of suppressing
the disease. Nebraska, Iowa, Montana
and the two Dakotas have had their
troubles. and have added to ours Many
experience of the states named.
How are we to know that it is not
chickenpox? By the history of the case.
and II this is not enough, by the people
afflicted An epidemic that involves
more adults than children should be
chickenpox. An epidemic that begins
with a very mild case and goes on prog
reSsively from bad to worse until cases
arise that are unquestionably smallpox
must be recognized as one and the same
disease from the beginning. Such Is the

though there are 1000 900 Swcdes in this

Swedes. while maintaining affection for
their mother country rec egn:ze that III air

They do not allow themselves to be led
away by foreign issues, as other natiON-

Let us see what the Swedes have hal

are 400, 900 Swedes In the state, but not one
Of them has been honored by big office.
Once MatsOn was elected sheriff in Chi

crumbs have been distributed among tile
Swedes Of Illinois, because they do not

Look at The career Of the Swedes. You
find them living sober, honest and indus
tTiOus lives. They do not sQuander their
earnings in riotous living. They acquire
property and are content to take care Of
it and to observe the laws. They have
no time to seek Office. They want to be
part of the country that enables them to
put aside provision for a rainy day,
NO NEW SWEDEN
The Swedes would never dream of
making a new Sweden. They know the
blessings of a republic and the beauties
of the American constitution. Take Mr..
Hamilton's statement about John Ltnd's
possible victory over United States S ma
tor Davis. John Lind was practically
raised in this country. and he is an Amer
lean from top to toe. Mr.. Hamilton says
only a Swede can be elected governor In
Minnesota or North Dakota, and cites
John Lind as an example. The Swedes do
not consider John Lind as a Swaie. When
he was elected governor he could Lot
thank the Swedes for their support. lie
was free silver man, and nearly all the
Swedes are opposed to free silver.
Mr.. Hamilton bases his arguments On
false premises, and just shoots off at
tangent in order to take u slap at the
Swedes. The very fact that lie prefers
Chinese immigrants to Swedish iTlni
grants, because the former DO not seek
office. and go home without seeking to
be governors OF states, shows his puerile
mind. If he cared to find out the true
status of affairs he would soon know that
the Swedes are behind all other nat onali-
when they do get office they out-Ame-icaa
the Americans
IAN American political party, as sue
gested by Mr.. Hamilton, would be hsiIeI
with delight by the Swedes, because they
are the quickest to become real AmeTi
cans and assimilate the principles of The
constitution more rapidly than any other
nationality"

This Is what c. F. Peterson, mana ging
editor of the Svenska Tribunen, OF Chi
cage, says in the Times-Ierald of that
city, yesterday, about the structures Of
Mr. Hamilton regarding the Swedish
American of the Northwest. Mr. Hamil-
ton came to this city Monday on his way
to Washington, and proceeded 10 prophecy
that the territory Of North Dakota, as
well as the state of Minnesota, would

AS a matter of fact, the Swedes, instead
of being clannish, are being absorbed Into

other nationality. They learn English
quicker, they seek Office less, and they
conform to the constitution earlier than
any other race that has sought a home
in the United States.

MAY SOLVE A PROBLEM.
Experiment .. p,anl,nton of 1nt.r...

Experiment 1t Planklnton of Intarsst e
other Dakota Towns
Sioux Falls, S. D., Feb. 2O.-The
question of whether artesian wells,
which during the last few years have
decreased In flow by reason OF the
rusting of the casing and the result
Ing escape Of water, can be preserved
and the original dow recovered, is
about to be solved At Plankinton.
Many South Dakota towns receive
their water supplies wholly from arte-
sian wells, which are utilized for OPP
Grating roller mills, electric light
plants, etc. The work of attempting
to clear out an old artesian well at
Plankinton has been suspended, and
preparations are being made to put
new casing in another artesian we'll,
which must, for the present at least,
be depended upon to furnish the town
with water for fire protection pur-
poses. 1t was found that the old we'll
was partially INSTRUCTED at depth of
400 feet, and efforts to remove the OBJ
struction were unsuccessful. The
flow of the second we'll has also de-
creased during the last few years,
thought to be due to the rusting of the
piping, to such an extent as to permit
water to escape before reaching the
surface Of the ground, but it Is conf
IDENTIFY believed the sinking of the new
casing will cause the we'll to resume
nearly it's original flow and furnish
ample water, especially for fire pro-
lection. Plankinton's experience with
Its artesian wells is believed to be but
the forerunner of similar trouble at
other places which depend for their
water supplies upon artesian wells,
sunk twelve or fifteen years ago, when
contractors were not so careful as dur
ing the last few years. Therefore tho
result of putting in new casing in the
Plankinton we'll will be of value to
other South Dakota towns, proving, as
1t will, whether the decrease in flow
can be remedied by such a course.
