PLAGUE is HERE.

CAEA ASsAoOtII
hold on American Soil.
The most drea led of all of the physi-
~ aliictlons of mankind, the bubonic
Hague has gained Il foothold in Amer
81 and the federal authorities are taking
vigorous steps to hold i'll check so far
as is possible the fearful disease that in
The past half decade has decimatcd India.
There can no longer be any doubt CT
the identity of the disease. The special
commission FASTENED to San Francisco
by the Secretary of the Treasury to in
vostigate supposed cases of the malady
there has returned to Washington with
confirmation of the worst suspicious.
: The text of their report has not been
made public, but its substance is known,
and it is to the effect that the bubonic
plague does exist in the California cap
itaE that there are numerous eases and
have been six deaths recently; that the
~.S14ion is alarming. and that unless the
promptest and most drastic measures are
adopted there is danger of the dread mall
.ady spreading to other parts of the coun-
try. Close on the heels of the Federal
investigators came a committee of San
Francisco citizens to deny the existence
of the plague there and protest against
any steps which may place an embargo
upon the Eastern business OF their great
State.
That general alarm felt among the
%neighbors of California is evidenced by
numerous petitions telegraphed from
Western States to Washington asking
the Treasury Department to quarantine
the entire State of California, so that
they may not be exposed to the conta-
.gion. 1t is recognized by the federal au-
thorities that San Francisco, with its
squalid II secretive 'Chinatown," into
whose dirty recesses the sanitary officers
have the greatest difficulty in penetrating
because of the ignorant and superstitious
opposition of the Mongolian denizens, is
~sRs Of tine worst places where the disease
scodld have gained a foothold.
.he Treasury Department does not be-
::eieve that it will be necessary to quaran-
zine the State, or even the whole city.
A quarantine will be placed on the Chi
:nese quarter, where the deaths have oc-
surred, and where the remaining cases
ore now under treatment. In any event,
individual isolation of the cases will be
Effected and rigidly enforced by federal
command. The disease was undoubtedly
7erought to America from oriental coun-
-ssries by ships plying between this coun-
sry and the far East.
Surgeons of the marine hospital service
stationed in various parts of the world
nave reported to the Treasury Depart
ment a total of more han 10000 cases
of bubonic plague and $4,000 deaths from
The disease since November last, and
these reports in many cases do not in
clude the period between December and
March. Treasury Department reports
chow the disease, although most violent
in India, exists in every part of the
world.

of Winnemucca, at noon Tuesday.
The LANES of the injured are as fol-

:. b. A. Crouch, legs crushed.
ii. Neul. injured about the head and

w. III. Rogers, cut about head.
VIM. Hoffman, right leg broken in sew

The accident occurred at the new cut
being built by the railroad company
near Cosgrave. A work train in charge
of Conductor Funk was taking about
fifty men of the steel gang to their camp
at dinner time. The men were riding on
two empty fiat cars, ahead of which was
a fiat car loaded with steel rails. One OF
the rails, which was loosely placed oa
the car, was Jared therefrom and fell to
the ground. The movement of the train
threw the other end of the rail around
and it struck several of the men who
were on the car Immediately ahead

Cheap Labor.

The company has large variety of
men as well as large number working
along the line in Eastern California and
western Nevada, says the Truckee Re-
publican. Nearly all the men who work
as section laborers are foreigners, and
they are classified or divided into crews
according to their nationalities. They
have gangs of Austrians, Greeks, Jap
anese, Chinese and other kinds. They
are also paid a different scale of wages.
The Chinese rank lowest, receiving but
81 per day; japanese receive but $l.10
per day and white men arc paid 5 1.75
Though they are paid the least the Chi
nese cost most for they do less work in
proportion to what they are paid than
any other class, while the japanese rem
der the greatest return for the money
they are paid. There is one crew of
seventy eight Greeks at work, one of
forty seven Austrians and one of eighty
japanese. In all there are thirty-four
crews OF men working between Gold
Run and Wadsworth. FIX.

Chicago Script
ural Revision.

Some queer people in Chicago have
reached the conclusion that the Scrip
lures need revising and made over into
Chicago English. The idea of attempt
ing to improve on the Bible strikes any
student of that book as something more
than ridiculous.-Carson Appeal.
The men who prepared the new
edition of the Bible are eminent scholars.
They have not undertaken to revise the
translation, but to put Scriptures in
form mole readily understood. They
think it deplorable that the language of
the Bible is in the English OF 300 years
ago. Whether the revision is an inn
provement is altogether matter of
taste. We have been accustomed to read
in the Bible one of its beautiful passages
thus:
"Consider the lilies how they
grow; they toll not, they spin
not, and yet | say unto you
that Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of
these.
Ii God then SO clothe the
grass which is to-day in the
field and tomorrow is cast in-
to the oven; how much more
will he clothe you, o We Of
little faith?
A new edition of the Bible in modern,
English has been published in which the
above passage appears thus:
Think OF the lilies how they
grow. They neither toll nor
spin; yet l tell you even Sol
omon in all his grandeur was
not robed like one OF them. IL
God then dresses in this way,
the very wild flowers, which
are living to-day and will be
used for the oven o-morrow,
how much more will he do the
same for you, you men of small
faith?"
Then again, the Lords Prayer. Any
enc who wants to is welcome to use the
Chicago edition, but most of us will not
feel like retiring 20 our closets and using
the fol owing invocation:
"Our heavenly Father, May thy
Name be held holy, Thy king
dom come, and Thy will be
done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us to-day our bread for
the day before us, And forgive
us our debts, as we, too, have
forgiven our debtors; and do
not take us into temptation,
but rescue us from evil"
There are but few words in the old or
new Testament that are obsolute, or not
eisily understood. and IN our layman's
opinion the revisers could better employ
the time and learning explaining the few
obscure words and sentences than in at
tempting to modernize the Word Of God.

James Dyer, the foreman of the gang,
who was standing up at the time, was
struck in the head and instantly killed.
His skull was crushed In and the body
was thrown several feet. The other men
who we're injured were sitting on the car
near Dyer. That more of the men were
not hurt is remarkable, considering the
number who were in the path of the
death dealing rail. Several saw what
had happened in time to save them
selves.
The injured men were placed aboard
the caboose Of the work train and brought
here. DIR. Hanson, who happened to be
at Cosgrave, accompanied them and gave
them all the emergency attendance pos
sible. When the train arrived here the
men were removed to the railroad wait
ing room and there their injuries were
dressed and broken limbs set by Drs.
Hanson and Samuels. The full extent
of the injuries sustained by the men
could not be ascertained up to the time
the Silver State went to press. The mep
were taken to the railroad hospital at
Sacramento Tuesday night.
Justice Rougon left on No. 3 Tuesday
for Cosgrave to hold an inquest on the
dead section foreman. He was a native
of England, where two sisters are living,
one in Birmingham and the other in
Manchester. A brother lives in New
York and he is the beneficiary of a $4,000
policy held by the deceased in the Pa
cific Mutual Insurance Company. De-
ceased had been in the employ of the
railroad company in the capacity of fore
man for some time.-Silver State.
