Kentucky VIII Also Suffer.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The statement in Tuesdays Journal that
in the event of Kentucky smallpox quar-
antine against Indiana. Kentucky would
suffer slightly. while 10 Indiana a quaran-
tine would mean the loss Of thousands upon
thousands OF dollars" is palpably errone-
Gus. In fact the business situation. so far
as Louisville, New Albany and Jefferson
vile are concerned. is about as broad as IL
is long. More than 1000 men and women
boys and girls from the Indiana towns are
employed in Louisville. Louisville mer-
chants and other employers seek Indiana
labor OF all kinds. The 'Hoosiers AS they
are jestingly styled-are acknowledged to
be ahead of the average native kentuckian
in energy, ability, faithfulness and So
briefly. If all these Indiana employees lose
their wages the Kentucky employers will
lose their labor. which means hampered
business and great loss of money to the
firms involved.
Furthermore. the gardeners and farmers
of the Indiana side cater largely 10 the
Louisville markets. Every day streams OF
loaded market wagons cross the bridge be-
fore daylight TO sell all kinds of produce
I'm Louisville. from calves TO cucumbers
The stoppage of this steady flow OF food
material will mean corresponding loss OF
money and inconvenience TO Louisville
produce dealers. Even milk is shipped from
Indiana TO Louisville. A big money loss
will be felt by the two lines of railway
which carry all these passengers TO Louis
Vile daily. The Daisy line is owned IN
Louisville. and that big shortage will be
felt in Kentucky. or course. the exact pro-
portions OF financial distress cannot be es-
timesed, but IL Is by no means matter i'm

DEPRECATE SCARE TALK.
Prominent Citizens of New Albany in
the City.

Postmaster Morris. Chief of Police Ad-
ans and Captain Cannon, of the police, all
Of New Albany, were in the city yester-
day witnesses in the United States Cir
cult Court. All Of them were somewhat
disturbed regarding the story that Ken
lucky might so shut out the cities of JEFF
fersonville and New Albany from commu-
nication with Kentucky because of reports
of smallpox in the Indiana cities. Post
master Morris said that there had been
mild case of smallpox in New Albany
some time ago, but il was taken care of
and there is none now. Chief of Police Ad-
ans said that some time ago there were
five cases in Floyd county, but they were
so promptly taken in hand that there is not
now and has not been for quite a time a
case in the city Of New Albany. Mr.. Can
non made the same statement. All of them
were informed by the authorities of JEFF

where it is Guaranteed. There are now

Gently Governor Durbin had competent
physician look about Jacksonville and
New Albany to ascertain if the cases were
sufficient in number to warrant unusual
procedure, and his report was that there
was TO smallpox to amount TO anything
and had been only few scattering cases,
Postmaster Morris that 'our people know
nothing about the smallpox except what
they see in outside newspapers"
A listener said that this scare about
smallpox reminded him of a yellow fever
scare late in the summer of 1898. AS il
was told by him it was rather vivid. "A
health officer rushed into the presence OF
Governor Mount day and said that the
State must be quarantined against yellow
fever in Tennessee and Kentucky. or else
we would have it in this city. He urged

could be paid out on vouchers, but only a
very small amount was called for The
correspondent of the Louisville Courier
Journal, Mr.. Russell Seeds, sent the story

Mount to protest against the talked-of

accepted as a taunt. and il was not long
before there was a general engagement. At
first some baseball bats were used, but

TO take the bats from the students who
were welding them. For ten minutes the

AIDING SUGAR TRUST.
Railways Accused of Helping to Kill
the Beet Sugar Industry.

CHICAGO. May 27.-Some of the West
ern railroads are accused Of helping the
American Sugar Refining Company, com
monty called the sugar trust" in its eff
forts to kill the beet-sugar industry in Ne
braska and Colorado, says the Inter
Ocean. The Rock Island, Missouri Pacific
and the Missouri. Kansas & Texas rail-
roads have joined the Mallory steamship
line in making a through rate of 80 cents
per 100 pounds on sugar from New York
via Galveston to Kansas City, st. Joseph,
Omaha and Lincoln, Neb. On this rate the
so-called sugar trust has just shipped into
the Missouri river territory twenty-six
carloads OF sugar, aggregating 100000
pounds. The result is that this sugar is
put on the market at a lower figure than
the beet-sugar growers of Nebraska and
Colorado can meet and realize any profit.
The Illinois Central RAILROAD has given
notice that IL will join in making, via New
Orleans. the same rate of 80 cents from
New York to Missouri river points that
other roads are making via Galveston.
