HE HAD NO FOOD.
Why Edward Price Threatened t
Break Smallpox Quarantine.

The county officers have been so
peculiar in their method Of taking care
Of the poor that it seems useless to call
the attention Of the public to a case
which occurred recently.
Friday the home of Edward Price at
Fifteenth and Chandler wass quaran-
tined on account Of smallpox. Sanitary
Sergeant Pattison telephoned to the
county authorities concerning the case
and they said they would see that the
family had food Today the father in
formed the sanitary department that he
had no food for his family and that if
they did not send something to eat he
would get out of quarantine and rustic
for them. He said that he did not pro-
pose to have his family starve to death
The county officers were notified and
said they would attend to it at once. 1t
Is to be hoped that they did.
The county commissioners have always
been stingy with the money they receive
from the city for poor purposes and they
would allow the city the use Of none Of
it until the last legislature met and
passed q law making them give $500 per
year to the city to be used in emergency
cases. 1t would have been better for the
poor II the legislature had made the
commissioners turn the entire manage
ment Of the funds over to the city

British Army Has Resumed It's Ad-

New York, April 3.-The news from
Lord Kitchener that General Plumer has
occupied Mushroom is taken to mean. the
London correspondent OF the Tribune
says, that the British army in South
Africa. has at last resumed the northern
advance toward Petersburg. MUSHROOM
is situated little way off the railway
about 80 miles north of Pretoria. 1t was
held for a few days by General Baden
Powell in August last year, but had to
be evacuated because the force then at
Lord Roberts disposal was insufficient
at once to provide a permanent garrison
and to secure the railway line northWard
from Pretoria. There can be little doubt
that Lord Kitchener's latest report in
dicates the execution OF q comprehensive

1t will be recalled that nobody was
