SMALLPOX AT BATH.
Ien-Year-OId BERTHE Wall Has
a Mild Case.
Home Guaranteed and Health officers
Will Check Its Spread.
General Vaccination Will Be Made. New Pest
House Being Built.

Bath. Me-. July 29.-For the first
time in % years there is a case of
smallpox in this city. The victim is
Bertie Wall. the l0-year-old son Of
Mark Wall, and the High street tene-
ment house where they live with sew
eral other families has been quarantine
ed. The case is a mild one. The boy has
teen i'll for several days. and, yester-
day. consultation of physicians was
ordered and DR.. Young of the State
Board OF Health was called in. 1t was
suffering with smallpox and the quar-
antine was ordered.
1t is the intention of the health Off
GERS here to do everything possible 10
prevent a spread of the disease but in
this they are somewhat handicapped
by the fac. that the city has no pest
house for use in such cases. A building
Is being prepared. however. and will
soon be ready for use. The old pest
house was destroyed by fire about 20
years ago. and as there never has been
use for one since that time it was never
rebuilt. Work had just been begun on
a new structure when the present case
came to the attention Of the authori-
ties
All the occupants of the house where
youns Wall lives have been quaran-
tined and will be held until all danger
of the spread of the contagious disease
has passed. Arrangements are being
made to vaccinate all school children
before the opening Of the fan term of
hool and all others who desire to take
such precaution.
1t was stated. this afternoon, that
young Wall had been away from home
only once this summer and as he had
been in contact with very few persons
there seems little danger that the dis
ease will spread.

past "a hours very heavy rain storms
have covered all of central and south
ern Arizona and extended down into

nary proportions and in the western
part very large amount of water fell
At Glendale the wind storm was the
worst ever known in that part of the

roofs from buildings.
In the extreme southern portions rain

The damage will be offset by the
great good which the rains will do to
the stock and to forests in the noun
tains where fires have been creating
havoc.

THesaRGe vs.. T0wNe.
interesting Liquor Case Argued Before the Az
Court al Portland.

Pol tland, Me. July a9.-One of tho
must interesting of the Cumberland
county cases growing out of the On
forcement of the prohibitorv law v,s
argued IN the law court. today. 1t was
'he action of Louis Thebarge of
bruhswitk. against Deputy Sheriff
John ). Towne. the plaintiff seekin..
TO recover $1,000 damages for his al
legged false arrest at the Time al y
seizure OF non-intoXicating beer on mis-
premises. The case was tried at the
last civil term of the superior court
ana Judge Bnnney rendered a decision
Tor the defendant. The case went to
the full bench on exceptions to .he
judges rulings.
James l.. Doolittlc OF Brunswick 70.
the plaintiff. based his argument ON
the claim that il is no justification to
the officer for making the arrest that
ne found on the premises liquors which
he mistakely supposed To be intoxicat-
ing; that in search and seizure process
neither law nor precept directs or au-
thoriZes the arrest of any person I'M
less intoxicating liquors are found
that it is not the officers belief or good
faith that juStifies an arrest: that an
officer is Il treSpasSer who makes an
arrest on a search and seizure warrant
without having found intoxicating
liquors: that the officers return as To
the fact in the search and seizure is
not evidence in his favor in an action
of trcspass against himself.
County Attorney Whitehouse argued
that the two questions involved We're
whether the officer was liable for the
conversion of the liquors in question,
whether he is liable for false arrest
since the liquors found were not in
fact intoxicating although he mad
reasonable ground to believe them in
toXicating. AS to the first question
the liquors were returned to the plain
tiff and accepted by him before this
suit was begun and this disposes of all
claims for their conversion.
Considering the question of whether
the officer was justified in arrcsting
the plaintiff the county attorney
argued that the law does not place
upon its officers any such due burden
as to require him to act as judge and
determine at his peril upon hasty
examination the intoxicating quality
of liquors he finds.

INVESTIGATING WATER WORKS.
Probable Cost of Pumping Water for This City
SchnabIs and UtIey Visit DeKaIb, ILL.

MeSSrS. John Schnabel and P. L.
Utley, president and manager of the
Electric Light and Water Co., Of
this city, returned Sunday morning
from DeKalb, Ill.,, where they visited
and inspected an electric plant that
furnishes the power for the water
works Of that city. They report that
the city of Dekalb, which owns and
operates the water works and rent
the power from the electric company,
is very well satisfied with the service,
and that the cost is about half as
much as when the city depended
upon steam for it's power, being now
about four cents per thousand gallons
for pumping the water The plant
has been operated in this way for
about six years. The pumping station
is located about mile from the
electric light plant and the power is
transmitted to the motors and pumps
at the station, no operator being
required there to care for the machin-
cry, one large item of. saving in
expense. Several large fires have
occurred in the city during these six
years and the electric power has
handled the work as we'll or even
better than steam power could. 1t is
estimated that this city will use
about 200, 900 gallons of water per day
when the new system of water works
is completed, which on the basis of
cost to the city of DeKalb. would
amount to about IS per day for
pumping water for this city, not a
large sum for whole city to pay for
water.

Business Men Reflect,

The Stevens Point Journal gives us
the following information, which If it
is fact, should be remedied for the
good of the city as whole:
Stevens Point is saiG to be the only
trading center in the Wisconsin valley
where farmers can get spot cash for
produce. In all other towns they are
paid in store checks. The effect of
these cash transactions may be seen in
the constantly increasing trade from
farmers in Wood and Marathon coun-
ties, who formerly traded at Grand
Rapids aud Wausau. The farmers
appreciate the cash. As rule a
farmers, no matter where he comes
from, never leaves town without
buying something.
Business men should pay cash, favor
good roads, and free telephone SER
vice to all neighboring farmers.

An Explanation.

The Stevens Point Journal in
commenting on our item about the
visit Of President WhitcOmb, Of the
Wisconsin Central road, to NekooSa
last week, admits that Whitcomb's
visit in connection with the rumor
that the Central line is to purchase the
Marshtield road, is ''Signiticant," but
adds, what the public wants to
know is what it is significant OFF,"
We don't imagine the public is SO
obtuSe as the Journal would have us
believe, but to avoid any possible
misunderstanding on the subject. we
will explain that in the opinion of the
REPORTER it means that the Central
will eventually buy the NJ, & s. E;
road. That signifies that Grand
Rapids will have four good lines of
railroad competing for its freight and
passenger traffic and helping to make

A Good Deal in City Property,

H. Wipperman has purchased the
Wagner and WoOdwOrth properties at
the intersection of Center and Front
streets on the east side, being the
building and grounds now occupied as
the Twentieth Century Place and the
vacant ground between it and Ted
and Jim'S saloon. Mr. Wipperman
will eventually erect on this property
a modern brick block for store and
office purposes. 1t is without doubt
the best located trading point in the
city. and nice brick block there will
not only help the appearance of the
street, but prove q profitable invest
ment to the owner. We hope to see
the building up and occupied by a
good, live mercantile firm at an early
date. The consideration in the trans
action was $1,000.

A Youthful TranSuressor.

County Attorney Wipperman was
called to Marshield last Thursday to
investigate the charges against Gusta
Taube, a 12-year-old girl, who was
said to be doing wholesale line of
theiving in that city. The case was
brought before Municipal Judge
Hirth and the youngster was found
guilty as charged, and was sent to
the Reform School for girls at Mil
waukee. 1t seems that the girl had
been engaged in shoplifting for over
year and had developed into a very
ShreWd and persistent thief. Her
last act was the stealing of a S15
collarette, which she attempted to
sell for $3.50. The character of the
goods and the low price asked for it
aroused suspicion, which resulted in
her apprehension and sentence to the
refOrmatOry at Milwaukee.

LETTER FROM THE CAPITAL.

A. l.. FONTAINE, DEAR SIR: The
following is in part the dOingS of the
legislature for the past week-that
which in our Judgment would mostly
interest the readers of the REPORTER:
bills introduced passed, etc.
A bill was introduced in the assem-
bly, at Tuesdays session of last week
by Mr.. Spratt of Sheboygan Falls, pro-
viding for the repeal of the corrupt
practice act, which is the law requir-
ing candidates to file statements of
their campaign expenses. Mr.. Spratt
says the law is largely a farce and
would be better off the statute books.
His bill merely repealS the law and
provides nothing to take it's place.
The gubernatOrial reception at the
executive mansion for the members of
the Legislature and the legislative en-
ployes on Tuesday evening met with
response from nearly the entire capi-
tai force.
Senator ON'eil introduced a bill in
the senate at Wednesdays session to
increase the salaries Of members
of the legislature from $500
to 81 GOO. and providing for constitu-
tional amendment.
Much amusement was caused in the
assembly last Wednesday by the read
ing OF petition to ASSemblyman
Frost. asking for bill to require all
persons who drink spirituous liquors
to secure a license from the county in
which they reside, and providing for
the publication of the names of all
persons so licensed in county papers.
At thursdays session, A. r. Hall
of Dunn county fought to a passage in
the assembly the Miner joint reSolu-
tiOn, asking congress to defeat the
Hanna Ship Subsidy Bill He was op-
posed, step by step, by David Evans,
Jr., who appealed to his Republican
colleagues not to take what he termed
SO un-Republican step; but in the
wind-up, the vote stood IS to Is in
favor of it's passage.
Bill 100 A, introduced by Frank A.
Cady, prescribing duties of notaries
public, was passed in the assembly at
Fridays session
Geo. f. Cooper of Black River Falls
has been appointed state oil inspector
by Governor LdFollette to succeed Dr.
FL. B. Tanner Mr.. Cooper takes the
appointment on the understanding
that if the legislature carries out the
governors recommendations for a re-
duction of the fees, he will not con-
tinue to serve.
Floods of petitions are being re.
ceived in the legislature from drug
gists in different parts of the state in
opposition to the three-cornered-po
on-bottle-5ill, introduced by A. r.
Hall of Dunn county. Mr.. Hall is un-
tiring and will make a vigorous fight
for its passage.
Very Respectfully,
HENRY FORBES.
