Smallpox In and Near Hagerman.

County health physician w. H.
Baugh was called to Hagerman
last Tuesday and found to exist in
and near Hagerman eight cases of
smallpox. He found it to be in a
very mild form but he quarantined
fiye different places. Two cases
were found in the home of Nell
Owens; one at Paul Gurleys; one
at at Mr.. Blackharts; one at VIM.
Ebberts; and one at Mr.. Campbells
The contagin has been carelessly
allowed to spread around Hager-
man and the health physician
says he knew nothing of it until
last Wednesday when he immedi-
ately went to the place to investi-
gate and says with proper care it
will soon be stamped out.

Christmas In Shoshone.

The day was one of those model
Christmas days, which Idaho has
the air being cool and calm, and
the ground was partly covered
with snow and all business houses
were closed for the day. There
was no services in the churches of
Shoshone, which is something that
seldom occurs on Christmas, but
the churches and people of the town
combined and gave to the little
ones very nice Christmas tree in
the opera house. The people we're
busy in the receipt and acknowledge
ment of presents and these were
unusually abundant and the
packages sent and received ex-
ceeded those of any previous year
in the history of the Shoshone
post-office and Mrs. Hill proved to
the people that she was fitting
and competent public servant in
the Office. The holiday trade was
very good by our mer-
chants and the people generally |
we're in thankful mood.

Secretary Hay, although accom-
! panied by some conditions which
complicate the situation, is re-
garded as forshajowing the peace
full conclusion of the present
difficulty and the administration
, has turned its attention to facili
tating the end. While it il
obviously impossible for the United
States to guarantee the payment o
such indemnity and damages al
may be allowed by the arbitrators,
the government will make it clear
to such American financiers al
may become interested in the sit
uation, that it will use its power
to protect them in any loan they
may make to Venezuela.
Taking the Venezuelan situation
as a text, Secretary Moody deliv-
cred a powerful argument before
the house com mitteee on naval
affairs recently He cited the
presidents statement that "Our
Navy must be match for any,
and proceeded to demonstrate the
the necessity for six new ships to
be authorized by congress this
year. The president is cal nestly
backing up the wishes of his secra-
taJy OF the navy. He has said II
am in favor of building warships
every year until the United States
navy shall be as strong as any in
the world" Every influence
which is at the command of the
administration will be brought to
bear on congress to secure liberal
treatment of the navy but there is
evident a disinclination on the
part of the naval committee to com
nit the country to policy which
it fears will entail heavy taxation.

demonstrated its good faith on the |

CHICAGO, Jan. H-WHEAT-There has
been. a strong wheat market, with more
outside help and d broader trade than has
been apparent for a good many weeks.
Prices advanced nc to &c, but TIC there
was more May for sale than was wanted,
evidently important proft-taking. There
were complaints of continued dry weather
In California. Antwerp cabled that cold
weather was creating nervousness in Eu-
cred. There was a reiteration of the poor
condition of the Russian crop. Minneapolis
said country mills were drawing wheat
from the elevators there and that country
acceptances had decreased very much.
There has been a good cash demand; sea-
board reports sixty-ive loads taken for ex-
bushels; clearances, 1884. 900 bushels; primary

NEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
show Nothing but Efforts OF
PrOfessionaIs to Fin Purchasers.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1A-Today's spotted
stock market seemed to represent nothing
more than the efforts OF Professional trad
ers to find purchasers for shares. The con-
slant fluctuations over a narrow range were
q testimony to the dificulty they found.
The volume of transactions fell off to little
more than three quarters of a million
shares, or ABOUT one-half the business OF
last Friday, when the. activity Of the pres
cnt movement reached its elimination. of
today's dealings no less than 100000 shares
were of Erie. The continued activity In
interest I'm Wall street at present and sur
mise eNhausts itself to account for II, The
failure OF Rock Island to move with II
today discredited previous umors that
Eric was being sought for an eastern out
let of the Rock Island system. The other
coalers were inclined to move with thc
Fries today and there was a disposition
to attach Importance to the formation OF
the so-called securities company as prob
ably concerned with further developments
In the consolidation of the anthracite In
dustry. Manhattan was strong for a time,
supposedly on account Of the coming opera
ton of the lease to the marlborough Tran
sit company, but the stock reacted with
some violence to a point below last night;
western Union WIS held by the injunction
against the removal of its wire by the
Pennsylvania railroad. Sugar was weak,
but after the annual meeting of the stock
holders showed that higher dividends were
not to be expected at present. An incident
Of the day were sales of Canada Southern
and Michigan Central, the former at a de-
cline of ~ and the latter at a decline of
1874 from the last preceding sales some
llllle ago. ASlue from THESE Special move
ments the market was dull and sluggish
throughout and offered little of interest.
The fact that realizing sales met advances
in all cases served to discourage the pro-
fessional element and led to the sharp
break in the afternoon, which carried the
level of prices well below last night. This
was particularly evident in Rock Island,
and the large part attributed to Rock
Island interests in the recent close gave
the market special significance on the
whole list. The closing was steady at
some rally after the break. The failure of
the market to advance was considered the
more significant in view of some of the
more depressing factors. Sterling rose at
Paris, thus widening the margin from the
gold export point. Call money was appre-
Gladly easier, and some time loans matur-
ing today were taken by the largest bank
In the city at 8 per cent. Receipts from the
interior seemed to encourage the stock
operators In the morning.
Bonds were quite active and firm, but
became irregular when the stock market
turned weak. Total sales, par value, S2,2SO,-
OO. United States bonds were unchanged
on the last call.

the New York Stock exchange.
