NOVEMBER ELECTION.
Little Interest as Yet Manifested in
 Coming Contest.

Thus far there has been little interest in the State election to be held next November. This lack of interest is due to the fact that the new Constitution changes the date of State elections from August to November
 At the November election Congress- men lnd members of the Legislature will bo chosen. City Attorney R. E. Steiner and Hon. Gordon Macdonald are the only avowed candidates for the State Senate to represent. the rwenty-eighth District, which consists of Montgdmery County. but others may enter the con test before the election.
 Of course there will be number of candidates to represent the county in the lower House of the Legislature but the names of prospective contestants have not yet been mentioned.

NAY QUARANTINE TOWNS,
State Board Of Health Il Becoming in
Earnest,

Owing to disregard Of quarantine
regulations smallpox is again on the
increase in the state. DR.. W. B.
Swan, secretary Of the state board Of
health, has called the attention Of the
local board Of health to the quaran-
tine law passed by the last legislature
which is very stringent and is urging
them to enforce it. Under its pro.
visions physicians are required to re-
port all cases Of contagious diseases
under penalty Of punishment. A
quarantine goes into effect as soon as
notice is given that a contagious dis
ease exists. Persons who violate the
quarantine are liable to heavy fine
In addition to being sent to the pest
house.
The board Of health is given wide
authority in quarantine matters by
the provisions Of the new law, which
follows:
"Whenever cholera, smallpox,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, epidemic
cerebro.spinal meningitis or other
infectious or contagious diseases show
a tendency to become epidemic, and
the local authorities neglect to prop
erly isolate and quarantine such dis
eases, the state board Of health or its
executive officer may quarantine any
city, township or county in which any
OF these diseases may show a ten
oency to become epidemic. He may
also order the public and private
schools closed and in extreme cases,
church services suspended and pub
lie assemblages Of people at shows,
circuses, theaters, fairs or other gath.
erings prohibited. In case of small.
pox, a general and thorough vaccina.
tion should be recommended and in
sisted upon"

senator from Kansas, was in Kansas
City yesterday. He arrived in the
morning, spent the day attending to
personal business, and left at 7 o'clock
in the evening for Galena.
Mr. Burton was unaccompanied by
either a rctinue Of office seekers or
advisers. As far as the Office seekers
are concerned, the Kansas senator Is
just now playing game Of hide and
seek for their ediiication. A few
nights ago he was expected in Topeka
from the east. Political wire.pullers
from the four corners OF the state
hurried to copeland county" and
thronged that recognized Republican
stamping ground. The time Of sched.
uled arrival drew near, passed, and
finally morning came without the
Abilene statesman. Then some one
started the appalling rumor that he
had decided TO make the Kansas capi-
tai but aIwhistling station and "Cope-
land county, only name. This
rumor Senator Burton confirmed yes-
