GEN. SMITH CONVICTED.
Most Brutal and Inhuman Orders ever
Issued by Commanding officer Is
sued by General in the Philippines.

All Christendom IS amazed at the
revelations recently made of the con
duct of affairs in the PHILIPPINES
Gen. Smith who has had charge OF
the campaign in Samar issued or
ders that all natives over ten years
of age were to be slaughtered. No
quarter was to be given on account
OF sex. The country was ordered
laid waste so that it would support
no life whatever
The counsel for Gen. Smith in
the court martial charges which
have been brought admit that these
orders were given but find justifica
ton in General Orders No. 10C
which were issued during the civil
war.
The greatest horror IS being ex-
pressed by foreign nations and the
deepest Indignation is being mani
tested by Congress. We are reaping
the legitimate fruits of war fol
conquest which is contrary to all
the principles of our government
and need not be surprised at even
such atrocious orders as these when
they are issued.

cane that did the damage in the West

"a hours it wrought destruction in a
small way TO property. here. From
early in the day until 2 this morning
the wind maintained an awful speed,
and it was most powerful. The city
was covered with bill boards placed

were carried for blocks and some were
mashed through windows into dwell

one Of these that the most serious ac-
cidents OF the day took place. Mr.. B.

and was insensible when the board
was taken from him. An ugly cash
severel inches long was cut on his
head, and his left arm was badly
mashed.
Several accidents OF a minor char
acter took place on the suspension
bridge, which was rolling heavily by
the force OF the wind. An old lady
from the First ward whose name
could not be learned, was thrown
violently to the floor and her nose
broken. Several Others lost their
footing while crossing the structure
and fell, receiving many bruises. A
trolley wire was broken by the wind

NOT OWNED BY PENNSY.
President LOree and Vice President
Green so Declare to Senate Committee.

Both President Loree OF the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, and Vice
president Greene, of the Pennsylva-
MIA, took occasion to deny that the
Pennsylvania owns the Baltimore and
Ohio. Mr.. Greene explained that the
Pennsylvania had four directors of
the z on the board of the Baltimore
and Ohio and that, while these four
directors were allo to manage the
affairs of the road, yet they could be
outvoted at any time.
Mr.. Loree, too, explained that the
Pennsylvania had only four members
on his roads board of directors, and
insisted that it was a great mistake
to say that his road was owned by the
pennsylvania. The Baltimore and
Ohio said Mr.. Loree, had it in its
power at any time to nullify the in
fiuence OF the Pennsylvania four
directors in case they did not approve
of their management.

Twenty Eight Cases of Small

Pest House and House of Detention
Suggested as only adequate Renee
dies.

The situation over Cheat is start
ling one. There are twenty eight
cases OF smallpox according to the
statement OF the prosecuting attor-
ney. New cases are appearing every
day and there is no telling where the
disease will stop. One thing that
makes it worse than all the rest of the
conditions is the fact that the people
continue to mix up with those who
are sick.
Just as soon as any one gets sick the
whole neigbborhood breaks for the
house and they keep on visiting until
it is discovered that the sick one has
smallpox. No matter how often this
may occur no one takes any heed OF
the matter but the same thing is
done over and over again.
Then members OF households in
which there is smallpox do not seem
TO understand that they must be iso-
lated. One of them came into Nor
gantown and had to be run out by
officers. He will be prosecuted before
the next grand jury.

He ought to get the law also.
In the meantime smallpox is spread
ing in spite OF what is being done.
One of the physicians Of town says
that the only way to stop it is to es-
tablish pest house In which every
patient may be treated and to which
they may be removed as soon as they
get the disease.
People who are exposed to it ought
to be eooped up in house of eten-
ton until the period for infe ction
shall have passed. The expense viii
be great but there is only one way to
fight this disease.
Fayette county, this state had
smallpox for five years and it cost
$125, 600 to stamp it out. 1t was only
when similar plan was adopted down
there that anything could be done
toward fighting the outbreak. We
are up against it and the authorl ties
have the approval Of the people to get
busy and put this disease out OF bus

STREET PAYING.
Satisfactory Settlement Made
in Regard to Clay Street.

Brick-WOrk to start In day or So
Beechurst VIII be severed Before
Paving Is Laid--Ne Sewers ON 1t
now.
The street committee held meet
ing on Tuesday afternoon and at
this meeting Col. T. j. Gilmore was
present The matter of paving Clay
street in the First ward was taken
up. Col. Gilmore stated that he had
secured Fred Dean TO put the street
in condition and that Dean would
state to the council what he expect
ed to do.
Mr.. Dean had the contract for
putting down the brick. 1t was
thought that he could shape up the
street better than any one could
do it for him and the arrangement
to this end was made between him
self and Col. Gilmore.
Dean stated that he expected to
begin work on the street unless the
weather prevented on Thursday
morning. He is at present finishing
his work in South Park. He will
shoot the brick down on Clay street
as fast as possible and will have it
ready for travel before very long.
This street was eurbed and grad
ed ready for brick last fall and the
brick was not furnished in time to
place it before bad weather set IN.
This caused the eurbing to slump
in various directions and also tore
the grade all to pieces during the
winter.
The matter OF paving Beechurst
was not taken up. 1t is very proba-
Bile that this street will be severed
before the paving goes down. There
are ono sewers except somesmall sani-
tary sewers on Beechurst and the
street ought to have better attention
before the paving is laid.
All Of this will be settled by the
new council. In the meantime moth
ing could be done any way in refer
enee to paving until the street gets
into better condition than it is now.
When the job is completed Beechurst
will be one Of the best streets in
town.

Take or the Meat Taxes!

The Beef Combine claims that the
abnormally high price of meat, which
is now prohibitory to the poor, is
due to scarcity of cattle.
This claim is refuted by the sta
tistics showing that the receipts of
live stock at Chicago last week ex-
ceeded those of the previous week
by 5000, and that the increase this
year TO date over 1901 is 1891 cat
tie, 369,297 hogs, 1855 sheep.
But conceding that there is a
scarcity, what is the obvious aud
natural remedy? Is it not to in
crease the supply?
Canada could supply our Eastern
cities with many cattle and an abur.
dance of sheep. We could, at pinch,
buy refrigerated meat from Argen-
tina or Australia, as England does.
But the tariff bars the way. The
Dingley duty on beef cattle is 274
Ffper cent. That is a steer worth 800
on this side the border would cost
1927 50if brought over from Canada
The duty on sheep is $3.50 head
on fresh beef, veal, mutton and pork
, cents pound.
This tax upon food is not needed
for revenue, for the Treasury is still
in receipt of large surplus. 1t is
not needed for protection to our cat
tle- growers, for we are large export
ers OF beef, and the trust usually
sells it cheaper in England than
here. 1t is tariff for monopoly only
like the duty on sugar
Yet the party in control of Con
gress refuses to abate one jot of this
worse than war tariff. The Repub
lican Club of this city, after appoint
ing special committee of three
lawyers to locally assist the nation
al and State authorities in every
way possible" in opposing the Beef
s Trust, proved its action to be pure
buncombe by voting down this reso-
luton, offered by A. r. Conkling:
/ Whereas, The wholesale and retail
prices Of meat have been substan-
italy increased, thus causing hard
ship and priyation to the masses oil
the. people;
Resolved, That the Republican
Club OF the city of New York here
by recommends the passage of bill
abolishing the duty upon imported
meats.
The Boston Central Labor Union
representing lilo organizations, at
ter denouncing the trust and calling
upon the Attorney General to pro.
coed against it, adopted this resolu
ton
Resolved, That we request the
Senators and Representatives al
Washington to vote for the bill tC
remove tariffs on fresh meats.
This goes to the mark. 1t sug
gests practical and immediate
measure of relief. If every labor or,

commercial body will take similar
Aaction, and send the demand to theil
