An Iowa county is in queer fix on ac-
count of a smallpox outbreak. The dis
ease was found In the Court House and
all Of the offices were at once quarantined.
Tax collections were going on, but the
quarantine stopped them short. The time
for paying without penalty was about up
and has since expired. The treasurer de-
clares he will charge the penalty against
epery person who failed to pay within the
proper time, and the taxpayers declare
they will not submit to that extra charge
because they were willing to pay their
taxes. bu; were legally prevented from
doing SO.

THREE CENT FARES.

Are street railroads in all parts Of The
country coming to a s-cent fare? The
movement in that direction has been giver
an impetus by Mr.. A l. Johnson, who
! offers to build and equip TO miles oi
street railroad in Philadelphia, and to
give eight tickets for . cents and a gen.
eral transfer with each ticket He also
offers to provide additional cars at rush
hours ana to give the city service that
viii be up to date in every respect All
that he asks in return is sss-year fran
chise
In connection with the philadelphia sys-
TEN Mr.. johnson offers to construct a
trolley line between ladelphis and New
York and TO carry passengers be
cents, the rate Of speed to be fifty miles
an hour. He has also made q scent
proposition to New York
Naturally he has created 'quite stir
in street car circles of Philadelphia, and
also in New York The steam railroad
companies which have lines between the
two cities are not wholly disinterested in
Mr.. Johnson's schemes.
According 10 the newspaper reports, Mr..
Johnson IS in position TO carry into e.
feet any contracts which he may make.
II is said that he has behind him a syn
dictate with 100000.
So far as Philadelphia is concerned the
main obstacle in the way Of his scheme
is the sss-year franchise. The length of
time Of the franchise would seem 10 in
dicate that he does not expect to make
money on his investment al once. but
believes that the citys growth would
make his property immensely valuable.
But there is evidence that less than
4-cent fare will pay In good-sized cities.
provided the railroads are not over-capi-
talized. Toronto owns the surface roads
within her limits, and leases them to a
company which sells tickets at the fol-
lowing rates: Six tickets, good for all
hours Of the day and night together
with one transfer for each passenger, for
. cents, eight workingmens tickets for
g cents at certain hours in the morning
and evening. when workingmen are 60
ing to and from their work and for
limited time before and after school ten
tickets for Is cents TO school children. In
edition the company pays the city
certain percentage Of its gross receipts.
The report is to the effect that the COM
pany is prospecting.
It will be recalled that Detroit made
vigorous fight for a Scent fare some
months ago, but It was not successful.
Indianapolis secured a law making the
fare In that city 3 cents, but the law
was declared unconstitutional. A COM
promise resulted, however, and the fare
is now cents. It is the understanding
that a lower street car fare will be one
of the issues in the Chicago mayoralty
contest In Columbus, o., seven tickets
are sold for 3 cents, and Cleveland. in
the same state, is fighting hard for
cheaper street car fares.
Under the circumstances the question.
is scent fare yet in sight? is a fair
one. II it were not for the fact that in
most all of the cities the street car
franchises have been disposed Of the
scent fare would be much nearer than
1t is.

rioting and disturbances in st. Petersburg

for granted that the situation is more Sc
