southeast of the city, are afflicted with
a contagious eruptive disease which
is strongly suspected OF being small
pox. Relations of this family from
Charles Town, who had small pox in
their family, when il prevailed there,
have been visiting the Pendletons aud
a probability exists that in clothing
not properly disinfected the germs of
the disease may have been conveyed
here. AS small pox is at presens
prevalent IN many of the states of
the union in such multi-phase variety
as TO cause much disagreement in the
profession, therefore the local health
authorities deemed il wise TO give our
citizens the benefit of any doubts in
the matter by establishing arigid
quarantine and resorting to every
known precaution which will protect
them and secure their safety.
The above statement was secured
from nr. $. n Myers, who Is mem

There Is no cause for alarm, as the

be taken to prevent even the least

ALARMED BY WELLSyILLE U
TlMATUM.

1t was at the close of one of the
most eventful days in the history of
organized labor, and was made SO bv
the decided stand taken by President
Shaifer in the Wellsville case.
The conference today lasted for al
most two hours, but what was said or
done was not given out save through
the above statement made by president
Shaffer. 1t was evidently decided that
the best interests of both sides de-
maaded that the wage conference be
held at as early a date as possible in
spite Of the trouble at Wellsville.
1t is understood that on hearing the
statement of vice President Chapel,
regarding the Ohio situation. assur-
auce was given that it could easily
be adjusted aud would be. This be-
ing the case, the conference was
quickly arranged.
President Shaffer tonight desired to
be set right before his people regard
ing his action in passing over the usual
wage conferees and placing the
matter higher. That the matter might
be understood, he dictated the fol-
lowing statement:
1.-THE committee selected bv the
advisory board is composed of all
national officers, trustees, and vice
presidents, because. this, the general
executive board, has greatest power
in the Amalagmated Association, and
as the matter at issue is general one,
not affecting wages or mill condi-
tions, and the last convention having
abolished the general conference, this
board can best take up a question
affecting the general interests.

and other American officers of high
rank and were taking them into the
camp of the insurgent chief to be de.
livered as prisoners of war.
Then was to come the daring part
of the plan.
The pretended prisoners were to
throw aside their pretended charac-
ters and metamorphose themselves
from prisoners to captors, seize
Aguinaldo, beat down any opposition
that might show itself and hold their
prisoner, no matter how great the
peril or how great the forces of the
enemy.
To carry out the program required
q long march into the interior, and
never ceasing caution to guard
against treachery. The troops in
New Vizcaya and New Ecija and the
gunboats Vicksburg and Albany were
ordered to cooperate with the cap
turing party.

FOR DEFENDANT.
Jury Found In Favor Of kurtz In
the Damage Suit Brought
by Susan Handel.

+ II took the jury about 16 minutes by
the town clock to reach verdict in the
damage suit brought by Susan Handel
against Jacob Kurtz. She wanted
$1,000 for injuries received in a runa-
way which she claimed was caused by
horse belonging to Kurtz, which was
ridden by boy. 1t was claimed that
the horse was known to be wild and
vicious and should not have been given
into the hands of boy ten years of
age, and that the owner, knowing the
character of the animal, was RESPONSE
BILE for the result of his alleged negli-
gence. The jury thought otherwise,
however, and returned verdict for the
plaintiff.
Attorney Upham represented the
plaintiff and j. w. Craine the de-
fendant.

NASH is DoDcINc.
He Will Take No Action On
Pardon Cases Till After

Cleveland, March 28.-The pardon
board will meet in Columbus on April
IL to consider the applications for par.
don for AL Davis and Sam T. Brooker.
sentenced to four years in the peniten-
tiary for returning bogus vouchers and
appropriating city funds during the
McKisson regime.
Friends of the men have been cir
culating petitions for months and work
ing hard to have them pardoned.
The McKisson wing of the Republi.
can party are working with this end
in view. The Hanna faction opposes
the move.
And it is at this point that Governor
Nash's troubles commence. BY oppos.
ing the application Governor Nash
would incur the displeasure of the
McKissonites. BY granting it he would
be in similar predicament with the
Hanna faction.
It is stated by man who Is in
position to know that Governor Nash
will take no action in the matter. until
after the fall election, when he will be
a candidate for reelection.
It Is considered certainty that
Davis and Brooker will eventually be
pardoned. They have now served
about year of their term of imprison.

SMOKE THEM OUT.
Certain Traitors Said to 3:
Playing Spanish Game
This Campaign.
Editor News-Democrat.

Editor News-Democrat
1t has come to the attention of those
who have been engaged in this cam
paign that few renegade Democrats
are using their efforts to secure, the
election of Hughes, the Republican can-
didate for solicitor as against Sea-
mann, the Democratic nominee. The
latter is known to be an honest man who
cannot be used and who would prove
a block in the way of schemers who at
tempt to infest the city administrations.
This man Hughes has been sort of
of stool pigeon for certain Democratic
interests, and is but figure head. He
ought not to be elected. The interest
of the people demands that such an
Office as solicitor shall not be turned
over to gang of political schemers.
There is no man who can successfully
question Charles Seamanns standing as
a citizen. He Is Democrat and an
honest man. These back-biters do not
want man like him. They have sue
ceeded in foisting a man on the Repub-
lican ticket that suits them better.
In this connection it may be stated
that a canvass os the saloons is being
made In the interest of Hughes, 1t be-
ing given out that If Seaman is elected
there will be trouble for saloonists.
Such talk is Stiffness. Everybody
knows the solicitor has nothing to do
with saloons. He does, however, have
something to do with the interpreta-
tions Of contracts, with the guidance Of
the council, and is the legal adviser
of the city. This is the real meat
In the cocoanut.
Whenever one of these traitors comes
after Democratic vote, spot him. Tell
him to 20 back to his employers and
say that his game won't work.

What suffering frequently results

Tradition says woman must suf-

There Is little truth and great deal
of exaggeration in this. II q young

she gets It.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-

write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinltham's Laboratory
at Lynn, Mass, and secure from a
woman the most efficient advice with
