Jerome. Ariz., Feb. 26.-(Speclal cor respondenca of The Republican, )-Since George Ward killed the burglar last week there has been no very exciting event transpire. although another house was entered by a man the second night after the one who trisd tD C, business in the Ward house was stiAed forever
 In this case the house was in Decep- ton gulch. below town, and the man who entered the house did 1t with the full knowledge that there was about $500 in cash in the house. The house was that of Mir. Wise, whS deals game in the Elite salOon As he intended to go away the following day he drew all his money from the bank one afternoon and took 1t to his residence. Some one who knew of the transaction waited until after midnight and tried to get the money from Mrs, Wise, who was iI the house alone. She screamed and ran, spiaining her ankle very severely in jumping over precipice down into the wag.n road. The man was not appre- hended.
 A little excitement is being worked up over the smallpox brsabOo. II is
 fact that there are three cases in the pest house at present, and two m n are in durance vile for having been ex- posed to the disease. Of course their exposure was against their will. but that is not taken into consideration
 The yiurb fellows who are in quaran- tine were working at the Terrace sta bles when a man took smallpox there.
 The man was a stranger and walked f,- Ir,n to Ar- irving in town broke he went to the stables and asked Tom Sheffield if he could rest Tom who is q kind hearted fellow. toli him he had no objection. so the fellow sat down on a wagon seat in the barn, That night he slept in the stable, and the next morning was fe- yerish. Tom then told hlm that as smallpox wls in the country he had to be careful and would rather he would not stay around the barn any longer. That day Tom went to Prescott on bus mess. When the boys at the barn went into the harness room that night to go
 Co bed they found the lodger of the pre-
 vious night asleep in the corner on
 some sacks, As they did not like to make him g') out into the cold they let
 him sleep there all night. The next morning they asked him who told him he could sleep in the sable and he re- piled that he had permission from MT. Sheffield They let him sleep there the next night. The following morning he
 was so III the boys sent for the doctor and his case was pronounced to be smallpox. Dr. Wood ordered him talk en to the pest house. The barn was ,lo an .rn l fhApotIUhlx ft m ipai ed. The boys were kept in the room all that day and the next day were sent
 out of U-wn to take a rest until the period of danger is passed. As the boys
 are both well and stout and got glori-
 oIsly full the day after the man slept with them in the room, they are not apt to take the disease The man was | not broken ut when h. was removed, | which lessens the danger of th. boys taking the disease. They are scared almost into fits. anyway. and will suffer
 more than the man whO'really has the
 disease until the time for taking it Is safely passed. The third case was talk 1 en from the works yesterday The frs;
 was taken from the hospital over
 week ago They are all doing well. | There is n'1 danger of the diseasc | spreading. for the weather is warm, and all who took 1t were men exposed | to it before they came to Jerome. What Is the matter wt.h the county | divlsionists? Are they all sidetr1cked, | or are they all scared to death of the | job? One or the ether thing must have i happened, fer We hsar less about the movement than we heard months ago | utr anDiipb n | selves. and want the opportunity. | Take another reef in your belts, boys. and clg into them
 ' While I am not believer in women | taking the places of their sterner as- | sociates in business and politics. l am | strong believer in their abilities in | wh.ch the Almighty intended them to | shine. They shine as entertainers as \ the men will never be able to shine | llihis fact was made apparent in Je-
 rome last Friday night when they were
 in the midst of the ball given by Dia- | mond Chapter No. '. Order rf Eastern ' Star The ladies were the whole thing | that night. and proved their ability to
 be the whole thing, too. In the first \ place they had been r.eparing previous
