Smallpox at Clinton.

Clinton, Feb. s-Clinton is all stirred
up over the discovery of a we'll devel-
oped case of smallpox which came to
light here Monday, and considerable
alarm is felt. Charles Barber is the pa
tient, and is at the Columbia hotel,
which is now under strict quarantine
and is being guarded day and night by
police officers. A special meeting of the
council was held Monday afternoon and
it was decided to take strict measures to
prevent the spread of the contagion. All
the inmates of the hotel were vaccin-
ated and temporary pest house is
being fitted up on .he river front,
where Barber will be cared for. 1t is
feared large number of people have
been exposed, as Barber is distributor
of samples of shoe polish and
made house to house canvass of the
city, visiting many places last week.
DR.. Kellogg, who was physician in the
civil war, and who treated hundreds of
cases of smallpox, says the rash is near
ly week old and that the case is fully
developed.

HEAD END COLLISION.
Disastrous Wreck on the milwaukee
Line at DOnan Junction

Oelwein, Feb. S.-A disastrous wreck
one OF the worst that has happened for
some time on the c., M. & ST. p, oc-
Cured near Donan Junction, during
the heavy fog yesterday morning. 1t
was head end collision between q
west bound passenger train and an
east bound freight. The two trains
had orders to meet at the junction,
but as the freight trains time was
ahead of that of the passenger train,
the engineer of the latter supposed
that the freight was already on the
sidetrack and pulled out with full
speed to make the heavy grade west
OF the station with the result that
both trains came together about forty
rods west of the village. While the
freight was running slow so as to head
in at the west end of the switch, the
heavy down grade and slippery condi-
ton of the track made the momentum
so great that both trains were badly
wrecked. The engineer on the passen-
ger train was buried under the coal in
the tender and was not found for an
hour or more, and when rescued it
was found that he was mosr fearfully
scalded m his feet up to his waist.
His injuries are so severe that he can
not live. The baggageman and postal
clerk were both seriously injured. A
number of the passengers were badly
scratched and bruised, but no lives
were lost and none of the injured pas
sengers are considered in dangerous
condition.
The property~damage will be con-
siderable, as both engines are totally
wrecked and some of the cars and
coaches stove in and badly wrecked.
Donan junction is located about
twenty miles north of here. 1t is the
crossing of the B., c. R. & N. and Mil
waukee lines and is in this (Fayette)
county.

IOWA AT WASHINGTON.
Doings of Hawkeye Residents at the
Nations Capital.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Senator Gear
continues to improve. His staunch
friend, Dick Root, yesterday said: 'I've
known Gear for many years. He's
giant and will never break down. He
may die of an accident, but he will not
die OF any disease short OF his nine-
tieth birthday. He comes of a long
lived family" The senator had very
bad attack of dyspepsia, and his heart
was thereby slightly affected. But he
has rallied naturally and will soon be
about the capitol as formerly. He at
tends to his daily correspondence, and
any one who could hear him debating
letters would conclude that he is as
capable OF transacting business today
as he ever was. He is wonder
full man physically, as well as intel
lectually.
Ed r. Mason has concluded that he
cannot find out who will get that fed
eral judgeship, and that he might as
we'll be at home in Iowa as here on
that case. Judge Towner has gone
home and was in Corning last night.
He regards his chances as excellent,
and on the surface it would seem that
his appointment will be forthcoming.
But there are lots of things to be consid-
cred in a matter of such Importance.
The appointment may not be made un-
til after the next republican state con-
vention. And yet, it may be made
much sooner.
Major Lacey's committee on public
lands is wrestling with legal problems
concerning the rights of settlers at
Cape l,ome, Alaska. Delegations are
here from that cold and golden region,
all of them setting forth different
claims. Some of them assert that they
can find bucketfuls of gold in the sands
of the seashore, for fully mile from
the land. They say that the gold has
been for centuries seeking lower levels,
and that the waters of the ocean COW
ers millions of the precious metal.
They want congressional enactment to
enable them to lay out claims beyond
the tide water borders of Cape Nome.
Major Lacey and the members of his
committee say that there is no prece-
dent for the kind of legislation pro-
posed, and they do not yet know what
to do about it. Will Reece, clerk Of
Major Lacey's committee, has the gold
fever to an aggravated form, and he
may go to Alaska in the near future.

State Association Meets to Con-
slider One Already Presented.
SOME CHANGES WILL BE SUGGESTED
Payment of Poll Taxes In Cash Will be
Recommended = Also a Higher
Limit to the Road Levy
Other Iowa News.

Des Moines, Feb. S.-A meeting of the
executive committee and officers of the
State Good Roads and Public Improve
ment Association of Iowa was held
Tuesday evening in the club rooms of
the Slavery. The special object of the
meeting was the consideration of the
good roads bill which has been offered
before the senate. As stated by Vice
President c. +. Curtiss, who acted as
chairman of the meeting, the session
is not to draft bill, but simply to con-
slider the one presented by Senator
Lewis. In his opening remarks he
stated that they did not want it un-
derstood that they were assuming the
role of dictators, but rather as sup
plicants. The first three sections OF
the bill We're considered most excel
lent, and the same were favorably act
ed upon. 1t was decided that the COM
mittee will ask that the township levy
be made mot more than mills rath-
er than as it is now, mot more than 2
mills While this latter amount
would be sufficient in most counties,
yet there are others in which the levy
would prove too small for the neces-
sary improvements. The committee
would especially recommend to the IA
Vor OF the houses that section calling
for the payment of all poll taxes in
cash. the general sentiment of the
meeting being that it costs more to
collect poll taxes where the payer is
allowed to work it out than the same
is worth. They also recommend that
section which transfers the control OF
the expenditures of the levy to the
hands of the supervisors, which cur
tails the power of the city boards OF
public works. The other sections, 9TH
er than the first four, were passed
without comment, they leaving the
same to the wisdom of the legislators.
The bill met with the general approv-
al of the committee and the members
will meet the committee of the house
and senate this afternoon. Those
present at the meeting last evening
were:
Vice President Professor C. F. Cur
tiss. Ames; Secretary j. III. Jayne, Mar
shalltown; Treasurer p, II. Cragan,
ColfaN; Col. Joseph Gafford, Burling-
ton; Judge E. II. Thayer, Clinton;
Charles Z. Boyack, Independence;
John Grear, Decorate; G. w. Swan,
