FEW SMALLPOX CASES
HEALTH AUTHORITIES HAVE
 CHECKED THE DISEASE.
Twelve Patients Reported at Elmer gency Hospital Yesterday and Officials Feel Much Encourag-
 ed Over the Situation.

There are fewer cases of smallpox ir Montgomery than at any time in several months past.
 The report yesterday from the emer- gency hospital showed that there are but twelve cases of smallpox, four whites and eight negroes, at the hospital. and the health authorities feel much encouraged over the outlook.
 But two smallpox patients from within the corporate limits of Montgomery have been sent to the emergency hospital dur Ing March. Two of the white patients at the hospital were sent there yesterday from Highland Park, and three cases de- veloped yesterday in West End.
 The highest number of smallpox cases that have been recorded at the hospital at any one time within six months was forty-four.
 At the office of the City Sanitary De- partment 1t was said that the smallpox situation Is in better shape than in some. time.
 Officers of the City Sanitary Department began work yesterday cleaning and thor oughly disinfecting parts of West End which had been infected with the disease. This move is one result of the decision Wednesday by Judge A. D, Sayre of the Montgomery City Court declaring the West End incorporation invalid.
 Officials of the Montgomery city gov- ernment were in doubt as to their juris- diction over West End. and Judge Sayre settled the question.

 The Editor Down South. Apropos of the murder recently of Edi- tor Gonzales, Columbia. s. C.. and of a recent attack on North Carolina editor by a State Senator, The Baltimore Her ald publishes the following verses on The Southern Editor" which will no doubt produce an exaggerated impression. Were I an editor down sonth
 I'd dress in armor plate; I'd wear a harveyiZed cravat
 And thus stave off my fate; I'd wear cuirass and shield,
 A helmet and some greaves, I'd wear full-hedged coat of mail
 Of best Carnegie weaves. I'd dress in those through working
 hours
 With guards for every meal And when l went to bed I'd wear A mighty made of steel. I'd have my house well fortified With bastions made of stone, And never, never should l go
 Adown the street alone. Were I a Southern editor
 I'd buy a gatling gun, And wear the thing hung round my
 neck
 Until the chorus were done, I'd have an auto ir0nclad,
 With frowning portholes in. And I'd get busy just as soon. As shooting should begin Were I a Southern editor.
 There's one class l would shun-- I'd keep away from statesmen, for They always lug a gun. I'd dodge Lieutenant Governors And Senators and things, For fear they'd tender me the right To uso my harp and wings.

WINNEMUCCA, NEVADA, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
WANTED, A
SEWER SYSTEM
WinnemuCCa's Most Urqent
Need is Being Discussed
BY Business Men

Every town reaches a period in its
development when it needs a sewer
system. Winnemucca reached that
period some time ago, but il hasn't
reached the point as yet where 1t de-
cided to build the system. There is
no use in trying to stand the matter
of much longer; it's got to come
sooner or later. and the general opin-
ion seems to favor the theory that il
would be better to have sewers than
to have a large number of funerals
that came through lack of sewers.
AS has been pointed out a number
OF times, an extensive system of sewers
could be put in at a very moderate
cost, and easily and properly main
tanned at a nominal expense. There
is always plenty of water in the river
for use in connection with the system,
the drainage of the town is perfect,
and the disposal of the sewage is a
matter that need cause no trouble.
No one who has had occosaion to go
around the alleys and back street 8
questions the need of sewers for Win
nemueca-it is only too apparent, al
though the town is by far cleaner than
most towns of its size.
A little investigation discloses the
fact that a great many property hold
ers, in fact a large majority OF them,
are in for having sewer system built
at the earliest possible date. A move
ment backed by several Bridge street
business men to call a mass meeting
for the purpose of further consider
ing the question shortly after the 4th
is past meets with favorable comment
and this will doubtless be taken.
No far seeing business man would
oppose the proposition. for a sewer
system for winnemucca 1t would not
only be an additional guarantee Of long
life to himself and family, but it would
mean an appreciation in the value Of
mis- property. The Silver State would
be glad to publish communications from
any one interested in the subject. as
indeed all should be.
