LeavenwOrth Having a Run of
Scarlet Fever.
Board of Health Making a Hard
Fight Against 1t.
WORSE THAN SMALLPOX
City Library Books in Infected
Districts Destroyed.
One School Closed on Account
of the Disease.
WORSE THAN SMALLPOX

Leavenworth, Sept 27.-The Times
says: There are now fifteen cases of
scarlet fever in Leavenworth under
quarantine regulations and physicians
state that they expect many more now
that the CITY schools have been opened.
One case of scarlet fever at Jarbalo has
caused the school trustees there to close
the school until the disease entirely dis
appears from that region.
The city board of health is trying its
utmost to prevent the spread of the dis
ease and one physician says that if the
people only knew that it was even
worse than smallpox they would be
more careful and assist in checking it
Quarantine regulations are being as
rigidly enforced as is possible. but as
one Leavenworth physician puts it, IF
the city would enforce the quarantine
regulations with scarlet fever as strict
ly as it does with smallpox it would be
bankrupt"
Where the father of a family in which
there is a case of scarlet fever is not
employed in the public service and does
not come in contact with many per-
sons during the course of the day he is
not quarantined in the home but where
In the street railway employ or where
he comes in contact with great num-
Der of persons he is kept from work.
DR.. Everhardy as secretary of the
board of health is devoting his at
tention to the books that are taken
from the public library to homes where
there is scarlet fever and has blank
forms which are filled cut notifying the
librarian that such house giving

der quarantine and gives the names of
persons WAC are detained in it.
When the city health officer finds a
book belonging to the public library in
house he takes charge of it anG burns
1t and the librarian is notified that it
has been destroyed, and also that the
quarantine has been raised from the
premises.
1t is a well known fact that disease
germs are carried in books, and the
work of the board of health in this line
will no doubt prevent many cases of
disease

DEFENDS ROCK ISLAND.
Director Says Reorganization Is Not
Stock Watering.

A director of the Rock Island, in de-
Tending the board from the charge of
stock watering in connection with the
issue of new securities. said:
THE charge of stock watering can.
not justly lie against legitimate cap
ital readiustment where the change is
made with the full assent of the stock
holders and for their own convenience.
In the case of the Rock Island CONVEX
sion there is no pretense that dollar
is added or taken from the property
upon which the securities are based. or
to illegitimately affect the aggregate
value of the securities themselves. The
motive was to put the stock into a more
a portion of it within the reach of the
public to keep the securities on the ac-
tive and off the inactive list.
1T was recognized that large num-
Der of people might easily have a pref
erence for the junior securities of a
standard dividend earning and dividend
paying property, with great additional
development possibilities, and that in
stead of investing in stocks and junior
bonds of properties of less proved value
they might want to lean on something
substantial. The new plan gives them
the chance.
The Rock Island plan has recognized
advantages over the regulation holding
company plan, and in it's undertaking
the management has pioneered an evo-
is likely to be followed within the year
by several other roads where similar
necessity exists for keeping the securi-
ties before the public and guarding
against the danger and inconvenience
of becoming totally Inactive

[F'rom the Greensboro On. c. Record.]
Uncle Jeff had been a slave belonging to
a very wealthy family in one of the
southern states. He was an especial fav-
orite of his old master and had all of
the aristocratic ideas which the old-fash-
Toned negro imbibed under these circunl-
stances Soon after the surrender Uncle
jeff moved from the old plantation and
bought and settled on little tract of land
in a rural district. where he constructed
a good cabin and was living in conapara-
tive comfort. After while some one sus-
pected Uncle Jeff was dealing in a reck-
less manner with Uncle Sans revenue

VIII Be Held During the First Week
IN October.

intendents of the eastern grand division
of the Santa Fe has been called for next
week in this city, at which meeting the
time card will be rearranged. and pro-
vision made for the operation of the
California Limited, which will go on as
a daily train next month.
The new time card win take effect on
November 10. and it IL stated by the
changes of Importance except the ar
rangement of the time of the Limited.
There will be a slight change in the
time of the Topeka-St. Joseph train.
which was arranged this spring to con-
meet with the Colorado Flyer. The st.
Joe train will not be put back on it's old
schedule. but will probably leave it's
terminals about q half hour earlier than

1.-The Colorado flyer was the most
successful train ever operated by the
Santa Fe," said w. J. Black yesterday
in speaking of the financial results of
the Santa Fe's fast summer train to
Colorado points. I'VE will operate the
train next summer. with the same ele-
giant equipment that characterized it
this year. but we expect to restore it
in May instead of beginning in June, as
we did this year. The season of the
Flyer closes on September 30"
This statement is interesting at this
time because of the statements which
have been made concerning the success
of the Flyer. 1t has been rumored that
the Flyer did not prove to be a good
money maker, and that it would not be
operated next season. Evidently the
Santa Fe officials are much pleased with
the success of the train, and expect to
make 1t permanent feature.

WAY TO SAVE MONEY.
Southern Pacific May Abolish System
of Baggagemasters.

1t is understood that the reason the
Southern Pacific contemplates abolish
ing the system of baggagemasters and
allowing the Wells Fargo expressmen
to handle the baggage is an economical
enc. The railroad company is paying
it's baggage masters $50 a month. and
the express messengers receive the same
amount. 1t is figured that If the salary
of the messenger is increased to $50
and a helper employed at about $40 and
the $50 saved by. the transaction divided
up between both companies it will
amount to considerable in the course
of a wear.
