HutchinsOn's Authorities Have
a Most Serious Time
In Trying to Enforce the Scar
let Fever Quarantine.
RULES OFTEN BROKEN.
Families Where Disease Pre-
walls Frequently Negligent.
Some Make No Attempt to Obey
the Law.

Hutchinson, Dec. 31.-The city auth
critics will make every effort to enforce
rigid quarantine until the present cpl
demic of scarlet fever is stamped out
They viii insist that the patients be iso-
lated, and if this is not done they will
compel the other members of the family
to remain at home or to board else
where while the disease prevails.
The work of the officers is made
much harder by the unreasonableness
of some of the families where the dis
ease prevails This does not mean that
a majority of the people defy the auth
critics or even large per cent of them.
There are only few cases where there
is opposition to the quarantine regula-
tons case in point occurred this
morning.
A man entered one of the drug stores
and had a prescription filed He made
remark about his hard luck -Four
of my children have the scarlet fever"
he said.
Aren't you quarantined?" asked the
drug clerk
Yes" replied the man, but I got
away just the same. -"
The druggist attempted to learn his
name but could not.
Such people spread the disease. They
stay at home with the sick children
enough to fool the authorities and go
out and come in contact with other Deo-
pie enough to carry the germs of the
disease around. The police say that if
they can catch such fragrant viola tors
of the law they will lock them up, as
they have the power to do so under the
law.
1t keeps the police busy watching the
quarantined houses and it is likely that
an additional ran will be added to the
force until the disease is under con-
troll.

TIGER LEADERS RECORD.
John De Witt Has Earned His Place
as Captain of Princeton.

Princeton, n. J., Dec 31.-There is no
question about the fitness of the man
who viii lead the Tigers during the
ever earned the honor, which being
captain of the Princeton football eleven
means. John Dewitt. the great guard
on this years team. is entitled to that
distinction.
Not only is he a football exponent of
unusual ability. but he is an all round
athlete. He holds the intercollegiate re-
cord for throwing the 10-pound ham,
mer, and is one of the men whom
Princeton has learned to depend upon
on her field days. He is as clever on the
Cinder path as he is on the gridiron or
in the throwing circle, and is probably
the fastest 200 pound collegian of this
decade
He is junior, has played two years
on the varsity, being prevented during
his freshman year by injuries received
in practice. In 1901 he played at tackle,
this year at guard.
His chief fame rests on his kicking
ability, and he wrung quakes and fears
from the hearts OF Yale this year by
sending drop kick over the bar for
field goal from the as yard line-almost
the middle of the ZELDA feat that has
never before been accomplished on any
gridiron SO far as recorded.
He played two years on the Lawrence
vile. Mass, academy team before enter
ing Princeton and was the star of that
team. He is the best punter the recent
football season developed
