plague situation is as follows:
The StIictest quarantine is main
tanned at Guayamasa against Mazat-

established from the tidewater on
the boundary line between the states
Of Sonora and Sinaloa, the soldiers

The most thorough system Of fumi-
CATION and sanitary regulations has
been adopted. Lime and snlpher are
issued daily to the poor people and
the streets and yards are cleaned
daily. Governor Isabel has been
placed in charge by the federal gov
crnment. He brands the reports of
the last few days to the effect that
the plague has secured foOthold in

SWATHED IN DEADLYFLUID
WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH IN GAGE
COUNTY DUE TO GASOLINE.
DISCOVERED UNCONSCIOUS
Approached the Stove With a Saturated Gar
ment-An Omaha Lawyer Found Dead
by the Roadside.

Fremont, Neb,. Ian. l3.-History
seems about to repeat itself in Dodge
county. Farmers are beginning to
burn corn for fuel as they did in the
early nineties when it was selling for
len cents bushel and the crop was
over whelmingly large. Now it is
not so much the fact that corn is
low in pTIce but that fuel is high
| and in some cases practically impos.
itible to get that accounts for the use
If corn as heat producer. Only
the poorest part Of the crop is being
devoted to that purpose. Part of the
corn filed late and was caught.by the
frost and it is this which is being
utilized to supply the place of fuel.
Coal is very hard to get in Ere
mont. Citizens are going from one
dealer to another endeavoring to Sc.
gre it but are met everywhere with
tLe response that more orders are al
ready on hat than can be flied.
| The de ,lers have no coal in stock
ana rely only on what tney nave
ordered. The situation is as acute
rs it could be without entailing gen.
eral suffering. A local resident tried
in vain today to get some nut soft
coal and finally bought half ton of
anthracite for $50. 1t is actually
easier to get the anthracite product
than the bituminous article at pres
ent.
Poorer people have been in great
need of fuel of any kind during the
zero weather. Children have been
seen going along the railroad tracks
picking up pieces OF coal or out in
the timber across the river gathering
branches 10 bring home. Some who
are In good circumstances will have
to resort to burning wood il the pres
ent conditions continue much longer.

taxes. Last years taxes are now
due, and will become delinquent Feb.
1st. The law applies to taxes educ
or delinquent Many claim tho law
should include only delinquent taxes,
while there are some who do not be
lieve the law should ever have beer
enacted in any form, and favor it's re.
peal. Senator Hale, who pays his
taxes as promptly as any man in thu
county, and who therefore is not dis
turbed by it's enforcement, does no.
commend it, and is Of the opinion
that there are other ways Of collect
ing taxes.
