Denies the Charges.

GCHl~e Aht Ofc-t yes
DR.. Hancker denied the charges in
an emphatic way, and demanded that
they be investigated. The trustees
will look into the matter. DIR. Curtins
application for return TO the institu-
tion was laid upon the table by the
trustees.
In his announcement, Dr. Curtain
said that the superintendent was en-
tirely too lax in regard to the Quaran-
tine Of the institution. He sighted one
instance where a man had driven
twenty miles i'm a closed carriage with
smallpox patient and was allowed TO
circulate freely among the inmates. He
further claimed that the drivers of the
quarantine wagons came and went as
they chose. and that the spread of the
disease among the patients of the in
stitution was due to these facts.
Board Sustains Superintendent.
The board will sustain DR.. Hanckel
and passed "a motion allowing him tc
use his own judgment regarding the
quarantine at the institution.

NOT EXCESS TRAIN
Charge to Ride on Southwest
Limited Same as on Or.
binary Trains.
MILwAUKEE's NEW DEPARTURE
Officials Pleased With Reception
Accorded by People of
Rock Island.

It's not going to cost any more to
ride on the Southwest Limited than
on the ordinary passenger train OF
the Milwaukee, the company having
made departure in this respect that
will be duly appreciated by the pub
lie.
Railroads have made it a practice
when Offering exceptionally fine ac-
Communications to make the people
who ito the riding pay the fiddler,
charging excess fare according to dis
lance on trains of the type of the
Southwest Limited.
For instance. the Pioneer Limited
of the Milwaukee, operating between
Chicago and Minneapolis, is an excess
train. But in the case of the South
west Limited. of which Rock Island
and the other towns along the line
of the Kansas City short line had the
first glimpse yesterday, there is to be
an exception.
The size of the crowds that turned
out in Rock Island. Moline and Dav-
export to inspect the new train was
in the nature of a surprise party to
the officials on board. They attribu-
ted ii entirely to the interest shown
by the newspapers, for ii is rarely
that train passing through a city is
| of sufficient Importance to attract an
audience. In the country towns,
where anything aside from the local
passenger is a curiosity, there were
large turnouts. This was expected.
| The crops are harvested. and the com
| ing of the train was a sort of a holi-
| day attrac ton for the country folks.
THE crowds along the line were re-
sponsibe for our late arrival in Rock
| island said F. T.. Young, chief adver-
Using agent of the road, who accom-
panied the train. The officers of the
road certainly appreciate the interest
manifested by the people of Rock ISL
and in our new train. We think it is
Il beauty, naturally. but we have rea-
son 10 believe that your people agree
with us Judging from the expressions

Benefit From Strike.
The south side street car strike at

way and boon to the suburbanites
along that line. At the beginning of
the strike the Rock Island put on nine
new suburban trains between La
Sale street station. South Englewood.
Beverly Heights, Morgan Park, and
Blue Island. The business during the
strike was immense, while since then
the trains have been so we'll patron
lied that the company concluded to
keep them i'm service until Jan. l. and
perhaps permanently.

CHARGED WITH BUYING
STRUGGLED TOBACCO.

New York, Sept. 9.-The examination
of Joseph Wahrman dealer in leaf
tobacco, to-day before United States
Commissioner Ridgeway, on a charge
of buying struggled tobacco, brought
out the fact, if the confessions of two
sailors arrested Monday are to be be-
lieved that there are "a number of
tobacco merchants in New York en-
gagged in Illicit traffic in tobacco.
Sunday night, two treasury officials
followed two sailors of the Koenigen
Louise, giving the names of Thome and
Schoon, who. they say, delivered snug
gled tobacco to Joseph Wahrman. To-
day when the three men were ar
raigned before the commissioner the
two sailors made confessions and tes-
titled in behalf of the government and
against Wahrman. The commissioner
held Wahrman for trial In 81 800 bail,
which was furnished.
Wahrman denied the charge most
emphatically and insisted he was a
victim OF circumstances. The sailors
were paroled.

Opens in ValdOstn Next Week.


Opens in VaIdOstn Next Week.
Valdosta, Ga, Sept. 9.-Mr. David c.
Varnedoe, prominent young mer-
chant of this city. suffered a serious
accident yesterday. He was driv-
ing mule and was about
four miles above the city when
rain same up. He drove
up to a farmers front gate to get
out of the rain, when the farmer saw
him and started out to open the gate.
AS the gate swung open, the mule be-
came frightened and ran. A fence
was just in front of the animal, but
it paid no attention to that, mounting
it like a deer and pulling the buggy
behind it. Mr.. Varnedoe was
thrown out of the buggy and sustain
ed painful injuries on his back.
1t was thought at first that he was
dangerously injured, but an examina-
ton showed that no bones were brok-
en-. He will be confined to his bed
for some time, but the doctors do not
think that his injuries will be per-
manent.
The lawyers, court officials and
scores of witnesses are getting ready
for the September term of the City
Court next week. 1t promises to be the
busiest in several years and will prob
ably last two weeks. Among the i'm
portant cases next week will be that
of Mrs. S. B. Goodwin against the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western Rail-
road for damages to her family from
an open ditch on the right of way of
the road. 1t is alleged that much
sickness was caused by the excava-
ton and by stagnant water standing
therein.
