BILLS IN QUARANTINE CASES
County Board Decides not to Pay Smallpox
Expsnsss-Advice of County Attorney John
son as to the Law In the Matter.

son as To inc Law III ttS NtdttCT
| The county commissioners on Wednes-
day decided not to allow any of the
claims presented be citizens of Nezperce
for supplies and services rendered in con
uection with the quarantine cases of
smallpox in that place and they also dis
allowed the bill presented by the city of
Lewiston covering one-half the expenses
of maintaining the isolated hosl ital fcr
the past three months. The board acted
on advice of County Attorney Johnson
who held that the bills were not proper
charge against the county
The bills at Nezperce were incurred
under the direction of member of the
old board of county commissioners, act
ing with consent OF The other members,
but it appelrs from close construction
of the law tat such an agreement was
wholly without an ho,tty OF law and
therefore i;ieg i, aud the same is true

fishing the Lewiston Isolation husl al.
The law authorizes the commissioners
acting as board of health to establish
and maintain a quarantine and charge
them with the expense of establishing
and maintaining the quarantine but not
with the expense of furnishing food,
clothing, medicine and nurse hire for the
patient afflicted with the contagious dis
ease. No man sic< with the smallpox is
any more a charge to the county than a
man sick with the mumps. Indeed the
county is charged with the sickness of no
one but the county indigents. The county
is not charged by law nor can it be
charged with supporting persons i'll with
a con, agious disease and under quaran-
tine.
On the 9th .r hand the city of Lewiston
under its charter has full power and au-
thority to quarantine contagious diseases,
to remove the persons afflicted to places
provided BY THE CITY and to PROVIDE
FOR THEIR SUPPORT. Section 81 of the
new Oi tHC City says. ne
council has full power and authority
within the limits of the city of Lewiston
to make regulations to prevent the intro
duction Of contagious diseases in the city
and to remove persons afflicted with suci
diseases therefrom to suitable places pro-
yided by the city for that purpose, (" and
the old charter added these words, 'amd
provide for their support"
The trouble has arisen out Of prece-
dents established without legal authority.
The present board cannot follow that
preceden, and stands fully within the
law when it saws Any necessary expense
Incurred BY sail conu'y b ard Of health
in enforcing the provisions of this act
must be paid out of the treasury from the
current expense of the county" II has
reference to the expense If the quaran
tine and not to the support of the person.
Any outlay for medicine, clothing, food
or care is not charge against the county
unless the patient isa county INDECENT.

Iowa Agricultural college has sent ex-
perts there to examine the resources
of the Berninghausen farm and find
that there is an unlimited supply Of
finest potter's clay to be dug on the
farm. This clay, experts claim, may
be made into finest potter's ware,
floor thing, mantel work and fancy
clay articles. Sand which exists in
immense quantity is fit for glazing and
for sand-paper manufacture, and a bed
of coal. which is now being mined,
underlies the whole thirty acres.
With all of these hidden resources Mr..
Berninghausen is now reaping the
benefit and is already receiving a
princely income from the sale of his
clay. sand, stone and coal. Eldora
people are rejoicing at the veritable

CREATE A REIGN OF TERROR
Two Peculiar Monsters Said to Be at
LARGE in Iowa.

tWo FeCuudT monsters SAID TO Be az
Large in Iowa.
According to prominent Des Moines
citizens, two weird-looking, terror
striking monsters are living in an
abandoned coal mine on the edge of
that town. At night they come out
and act as a sort of town curfew bell
every one locks the doors end hides
under beds or behind curtains. Resi-
dents whose veracity heretofore has
been unquestioned tell narrowing
stories of experiences with the horri-
BILE monsters.
DR.. A. c. Olcott, awakened by a
bright light shining through his win
dow, says the terror he saw was half
human and half beast, with great bat
like wings. A dazzling light that
fairly blinded him came from blunt,
horn-like protuberance in the middle
of the animals forehead, and it gave
off Supplying odor that almost
overcame him.
Peter Dunn, cashier of the bank,
fired his shotgun at the monster. Next
morning imprints of great three-toed
feet were sdfscernible in the soft earth.
Plaster casts of them were taken.
DIR. O. v. White saw the monster
climbing down a Telephone pole. using
beak much in the manner of par
rot. AS 1t struck the ground 1t seemed
to travel in leaps, featherless wings to
assist. 1t gave off no lgiht He fired
at it, and believes he wounded it. The
shot was followed by an overpowering
odor.
Sidney Gregg, attracted by the shot,
saw the monster flying away.
J. l.. Pratt, foreman Of the brick
plant, heard peculiar sound in an
abandoned coal mine. Presently the
monster emerged from the shaft, ac-
companied by smaller one. A score
Of shots were fired without effect.
The whole town was aroused and
just at dawn the two monsters return
ed and disappeared down the shaft.
