SOUNDS A WARNING
AGAINST SMALLPOX
Or. ohage Says Disease May Become EpI.

That the world is facing an epidemic
of smallpox, a statement made by an
Ohio health official does not appeal to
DR. Ohage, as he has not given the dis
ease so broad a study, but he is confident
that if the Northwest Is not vigilant it
will have an epidemic that will cost many
lives and many thousands of dollars to
stamp out.

Just made by G. o. Probst, secretary of

TENANTS OUT
West Side Nat-Dwellers Are
Made Homeless by
Fire.

AN 1nHammable portiere and the
careless handling of a match were
the cause or panic-producing fire
at the Beifield flats. South Robert and

Inc nre started in the fiat tenanted
py IhonaS Weston, and communicated
IN peculiar manner with the attic.
A young daughter of Mr.. Weston, wish
Ing to light the gas in another room,
carried burning match through the
porueres. She lit the gas and, turning
around, discovered the portieres in
names. The fire running up the drap-
cry, crept through the folding doors
into the attic. WI A. Barnes, engineer
OF the building, was summoned, and
turned in the alarm.
Tenants seized whatever came handy
and rushed out, blocking the stairway
with a Variously loaded and apparel
ca exodus. The cold night air and
nlpping wind drove them for shelter
into the neighboring houses, which
opened their doors in welcome to the
unfOrtunates.
block which were not affected
by the fire or water offered refuge to
those whose homes were untenable.
The fire department spent fully an
hour in subduing the flames, during
which time the flats directly below the
burning rOOfKWere deluged with water.
The larger part of the damage was
from water.A It was estimator last
night that the total damage would ex-
coed $4,000. The severest loss was
that of Fred Ritter, tenant on the
fourth floor adjoining the Weston fiat.
His loss will probably reach $780, upon
which he has an insurance of $500.
Westerns loss was estimated at $500.
The tenants damaged by water esti-
mated their loss as well as they were
able last night about as follows:
Charles J. Meilicke, $500; Vance Chap
man, $500; J. w. Klein, $780, Thomas
Mutually, T. E. Pierce, $500 each; Mrs.
Clayton, $500. c. S. Colledge sustained
an unknown loss from water and other
tenants suffered minor losses from
smoke and water. The building was
damaged to exceed $4,000.

control of E. d. Morgan. 1t is stated

WILL BEAUTIFY
CHAIN OF LAKES
Water Board Contemplates
the Creation Of Splendid
Park System.

Ii plans now under consideration by
the water board ever attain realization
81. PauPs park system will receive an
addition that will make it practically
one OF the largest single public reserva-
tons in the United States.
Inc scheme is nothing more than
the identifying of the chain of lakes
that the water department controls and
the embellishing Of the large landed
area which 1T has been gradually ac-
curing for the purpose of keeping the
clty,s water supply free from contain
nation.
Between land and water several
thousand acres are included in the
boards holdings, and it is the intention
to begin at once the construction Of
roads and driVeways, the dredging of
the lakes, the erection of fencing
against the inroads of cattle and the
planting of shrubbery and trees. The
dredging alone will cost not far short of
$4,000
Because of the heavy cost this
scheme of establishment will be car
rled out gradually, it being the boards
intention to spend a certain sum of
money on the work each year until the
full plans are realized.
Much of the ground is prettily wood
ed and this will be added to by the
planting of new trees. 1t may take a
decade to improve the area, but when
1t is done st. Paul will have a water
system and park without an equal in
the United States.

THEY WANTED TO GO
TO TRIAL AT ONCE
Case Against Mrs. Yeager and Edward
Bryant Continued, Notwithstanding.

Edward Bryant and Mrs. Belle Yea
ger. charged with illicit cohabitation,
was called in police court yesterday,
and in the face of strenuous objection
on the part of counsel for the defend
ants, was continued until this morn
Ing. The witnesses for the state were
not present, and a continuance was
asked.
Attorney Mccarthy objected to the
continuance on the ground that his
clients had been in Jail several days
and were entitled to an immediate
hearing, but Judge Finehout overruled
the objection and the case went over
until this morning.
The defendants were arrested on a
charge of having lived together as man
and wife at the Bethel boat for more
than a week. The Yeager woman is
the wife Of Lawrence Yeager, the St.
Peter farmer who says his wife desert
ed him, taking with her their nine
year-old son. After a search of ten
days, Yeager located the woman and
child in ST. Paul
Bryant was formerly a neighbor of
the Yeagers near st. Peter, and Yea
ger claims he was responsible for Mrs.
Yeager's running away. Yeager is
prosecuting the case both against his
wife and Bryant, with the hope of Sc
curing the custody of the child. Since
her arrest the child has been allowed
to remain in the custody of the mother
at the county Jail.
