Smallpox and Danger In Not En-
forcing Vaccination
To THE HERALD.

To THE HERALD.
In cities where there are such
close and intricate communication,
the prevention of the spread of
smallpox is matter of most
serious moment. 1t would seem
that the very ease with which ab-
Solute protection can be secured
is the only reason why wholesale
vaccination is not more popular
If an epidemic can be guarded
against, it must be by the means
indicated. In cold weather small
pOx always propagates itself with
great rapidity and with mar&ed
malignancy. Closed and warm
rooms are particularly favorable
conditions for the concentration of
the poison. In fact, on this ac-
count the disease gets its best start.
The comparatively latent character
of the maIady during the summer Is
therefore no guarantee against its
possible wide dissemination dur
ing the frosty months
The trouble is that each one
thinks himself safe until ne is
either exposed to the Infection or
is actually attacked. In spite of
what Observation-Disclosures may say,
the present methods of incubation
are perfectly safe when pure vac
cine is used. There should be 10
relaxation in the law requiring the
vaccination Of all chill
dreu attending the public schools.
Variola Is an acnte. very cOnta2-
iouS disease in three forms, viz.
dlscrete, continent and hemorr
hazic; period of incubation Z, 8,
to IA days; with terrible pain in
head aud back during first four
days temperature 102 II LOG, par
TALLY suhSiding on fourth day,
when the eruption appears, to rise
later during the suppuaRon stage.
The emptlon is lit4S red papnle
for three days then vesicle three
days, by the ninth day becomes
pnstuIe. During the first two
stages it is liable to assume the APP
pearance Of measles, with, however,
certain diaguoslic phenomena not
to be misunderstood. First the
papule under the cuties vera feels
like shot; second it is de-
pressed in the center; third II
is composed of many cells aud
there Is no other eruptive disease,
except one, with papule, vesiele, or
pustule which is composed of more
than one cell fourth ~the fluid in
these cells during the supperration
stage is found to contain luicocy-
ties, product of coagulation
Now, in regard to the positive
diagnosis, if you can incise or
puncture puStule in the centre
and press out all the contents, the
disease is varlcella or chickenpOx.
But If You incise or puncture every
cell before you can empty the YES
icle or pustule, you have case of
genuine varI0la or smallpox.

We feel somewhat ashamed to publish the score, and ought to
publish it l to 20, but to overcome this we withhold the names of
the players. Our boys say they were not in practice; their pitcher
disabled and poor ball ground accounts for the bad playing. A re-
turn game will be played in Challs about the 18th of next month.
and the Custer boys better look out, for you can't defeat our home
boys on a sagebrush ball ground. The umpires were F. A. Reed
of Challis, and Geo. Coryel, of Custer. The game passed off very
pleasantly. The Chalis visitors speak IN highest terms of praise
of the royal treatment they received while at Custer. In the eve
ming a very enjoyable dance was held.

Good For Hunt

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 1.-THE
Democratic primaries here on
Tuesday resulted in an over
whelming victory for Governor
Hunt. The governor carried
every precinct in Ada county but
one, which went for Martin,
while Orchard Farm Jackson
failed to get a single delegate.
While it was thought by those
who were in a position to know
what the organization of the diff
ferent factions amounted to, that
the governor would hold his own,
the completeness of the victory
he won was a surprise to even
his best friends. Nobody believ-
ed but that Martin would get at
least half of the delegation from
his home county.
1t would seem, to a man up a
tree, that the result in Ada
county would settle all ques-
tions as to who will be the nom
inee of the Democratic conven-
ton at P~ocatello. 1t was a body
blow to both Martin and Jack
son, and it is one from which
they cannot recover. Of course
both candidates are still holding
on, and both confidentially pre-
dict that they will both win in
the convention. Up to date
Martin has not secured a single
instructed delegation and Jack
son only one, and that from
Washington county, and there is
a string tied to the instructions
those delegates have. On the
other hand several counties have
instructed for Hunt, and the 9TH
er candidates both concede some
of the counties not yet heard
from. 1t is well known that the
delegations from Nez Perez and
Idaho counties are divided. Both
are uninstructed and some of the
delegates are warm personal
friends of the governors. 1t is
now confidently predicted by
some of the shrewdest guessers
that will be nominated on the
first ballot. They figure it out
about as follows

Baseball Same.
Score Custer, As; ChaIlis, 20.

Perhaps the most noted and remarkable game of baseball ever
played in America, was pulled off on the Bonanza ball ground on
Monday afternoon, August 18th, between Custer and Challis ball
clubs. 1t was remarkable for its big score and poor playing. The
Challis club must of had a grudge against the Custer boys, for it
looked as though they wanted to run their opponents to death by
allowing them so many scores. A grapevine dispatch gives us the
following scientific record of the game
