ANOTHER STRANGE GERM.

1t is trite--really savoring of plati-
tude--to call attention to the wonder
ful discoveries made by science in re-
cent years. yet the thought Is so forced
upon us that we must fain express our
selves. whether In commonplace fash
ion or otherwise. We have followed
these denizens of the laboratory and
similar haunts of research with pro-
found admiration and blind, unswerv-
ing faith No matter how iconoclastic

SHOT BY A BURGLAR
POLICEMAN MAYER is FATALLY
WOUNDED BY PROWLING THIEE.

Officer Charles Mayer. of the Rondo
street detail, was shot in the stomach
and probably fatally wounded by an un-
known burglar in the rear of Jessrangs
saloon, Harrington and University ave-
nues, at 2:15 this morning. He was taxi
en- to st. Joseph's hospital i'll the Rondo
patrol wagon and attended by DR.. Gil
f1llan.
The officer in making his rounds, no
ticed something wrong with the door of
the saloon and tried the door,
AS he was doing this a shot was fired
through hole which the burglars had
evidently cut in the door for the purpose
of effecting an entrance. The officer fell
and the burglars, three in number, made
their escape. On arriving at the hos
pital his injuries were pronounced pos
sibly fatal and his wife was sent for.
He resides at 7SS shellburn avenue.
At o'clock this morning it was stated
at the hospital that Mayer would in all
probability die.

HOT BED OF SMALLPOX
HEALTH OFFICIALS LOCATE SEW
ERAL CASES AT 335 ROBERT ST.
Clever Work Done in Finding the
PIace-Hess Tried to Deceive
the Inspectors, but
Failed.

Tie health officials yesterday unearthed
a perfect hotbed of smallpox at SS5
Robert street, and as result three of the
inmates are now domiciled at the pest
house, while an officer patrols the prem
fses on Robert street to see that the re-
mainder of the inmates stay where they
are until all danger is past.
Thursday the department picked up on
the streets an individual who was III the
advanced stages of the disease. He gave
his name as c. II. Brown and his home
as Benson, claiming to have beat his
way to st. Paul in box car. Other de-
tails given did not tally and an investiga-
ton was started with the result that It
was found his name was Charles Hess
and that he was employed in a local
photograph gallery. An additional
search brought to light his boarding place
and the fact that two other inmates were
done with the disease in a rather bad
way. oBth were hustled out to the pest
house and a detail fmen put to work
vaccinating the remainder of the 1nma tes
and fumigating the premises.
HE was the cleVerest liar / ever saw
said DIR. Ohage yesterday. 81 don't know
why he told the story that he did, unless
it was to shield the others. We found his
picture and confronted him with it and
the fact that his name was Hess but it
was a long time before he would admit
it,
So far the number of cases of small
poX has been small, but DR. Ohage fears
that unless the greatest Of viligance is
exercised there will be another epidemic.
Other cities in the state are credited with
a great many cases.

all testimony is transcribed as fast as

witnesses on rebuttal, and the jury may

more sensational than the guesses at dis
tances which have taken up so much Of

MORGAN ON PHILIPPINE BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-An extended
speech on the pending Philippine tariff
bill was delivered in the senate today hs7
Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, who devoted
particular attention to an amendment he
offered to the bill last week He MAIN
talned that the enactment Of the bill, as
it stands now, would not be a constitu-
uonal remedy for the situation the meas
ure is designed to relieve, but said with
the adoption of his amendment the bill
would stand the closest scrutiny of the
courts. The Alabama senator did not dis
cuss the political phases of the Philip
pine question, devoting his entire speech
to a consideration of the legal and con-
sttutlonal questions raised by the pres
entatlon of the tariff measure.
An hour and a half was devoted to
consideration of a bill to increase the
salaries Of judges of United States courts.
but no action was taken. The bill in
creaSes the annual salaries Of the fed
eral judiciary.
Mr.. Hoar made a brief statement IN
support of the measure. He believed
members Of the judiciary of the United
States were entitled to such salaries as
would enable them to maintain suitable
and proper positions. The judicial sal
aries paid by the government were not
equal to those paid by many of the great
states of the Union to the judges of the
state courts. The justices Of United
States supreme court, he declared, could
make ten times the amount of the sal
aries proposed in practice at the bar.
Mr.. Berry Dem., Ark.) opposed the
measure, He believed that $4,000 per
year was enough to enable justices Of
the supreme court to live respectfully
He ventured the statement that many
people thought the justices were not
worth $4,000 a year They were receiving
double the salaries of senators and rep
resentatives in congress, and had no right
to complain.
Mr.. Stewart (Rep., New made a strong
plea for the enactment of the bill, and

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan S1.-The
weather of the present week has brought
disaster to all the small and many larger
towns and villages in the states of Ten
nessee, Arkansas and Mississippi 1t is
difficult to estimate the amount Of dam
age. It is known that at Little Rock,
Ark, alone, the damage amounts to half
a million dollars, and the footing Alto
gether, it is believed. will run up sew
eral millions.
Business has been at a standstill in
many towns. In addition to stocks of
goods being ruined, the streets and high
ways are blockaded by broken telegraph
and telephones and twisted wires. The
Damage of stocks Of goods is due to the
tremendous weight of accumulated ice
and sleet and to the insufficiency of roofs
to sustain such loads. Such a siege OF
sleet and cold rain is altogether unpre-
cedented. In some places the ground has
been covered with ice to a depth of six
inches.
In Central and Western Tennessee the
damage to houses and stocks of gooos
has been enormous. Reports from Paris,
Dresden, Mckenzie, Jackson, Hunting
ton and Union City. state that the storm
of sleet and rain has been unprecedented.
Mississippi has suffered severely, the
people being wholly unprepared to pro-
tect themselves from the unusual con-
ditions now prevailing. In Arkansas the
storm played fearful havoc to houses and
other property.
Telegraph and telephone wires are
down in every direction and it will take
several days before the extent of the
damage will be known. There was a
rise in the temperature today and it is
believed that conditions will improve
rapidly.

had sent a trusted agent to iowa. Should
it develop, he said, that there are 500

had a conference with the officials of
