COST OF FIGHTING SMALLPOX.
Judge Artman, mt Lebanon, Defines
Two Classes of Expenses.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
LEBANON, Ind, Nov. 1S.-In passing on
the claim of DR.. C. T. Bronaugh, of New
Ross, for the treatment of two smallpox
cases near Advance last fall, Judge Artman
this afternoon rendered an important deci-
sion.
He held that when a person is afflicted
with contagious disease and is quaran-
tined under an order from a public health
officer. there is distinction between ex-
penses attributable to measures taken to
prevent the spread of the disease and ex-
penses incurred for the medical treatment
of the disease. The court said that In such
a case the measures taken to prevent the
spread of the disease are for the protection
of the public and the expenses of such
measures should fall on the county. On the
other hand the court held that the expense
of the medical treatment of the disease
must fall ON the person afflicted. Such ex-
penses can be charged to the county only
when the afflicted person is shown to be
INDECENT and unable to pay

Mrs. Il. N. Graham's Report on Work
Among Railroad EmplOyes-$5,OOO
for the Worlds Fair.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 1S.-The thirtieth
national convention of the woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union closed to-day The
executive committee reported that it had
ordered 5000 appropriated for an exhibit
at the worlds fair. This was approved
by the convention.
The report of Mrs Z. n. Graham, Of
Maryland. general superintendent of the
department of work among railroad en-
ployes, showed substantial and encourage
ing results. One of the most hopeful facts
is the attitude of the leading officials of
the roads insisting temperance among
employees. Twenty-Five saloons in Cheyenne
were closed by reason of the order of the
Union Pacific Railway forbidding employees
to enter saloons. The Wabash Railway
officers gave orders for the discharge Of
employees addicted to the use of intoxi-
cants on or off duty. Over 200 900 railroad
employees are now wearing the railroad
temperance button. Social halls intended
to counterfeit saloon influences have been
erected in many places. and are looked
upon with favor by the railway mana
gers.
Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, of Massachusetts,.
of the department. of scientific temperance
instruction, made a report of the work
done by her department and made the
recommendation that the work be pushed
with the utmost vigor to keep up the work
of giving true instruction in regard to the
deleterious effects of alcohol as a beverage

and international arbitration, and Mrs. Ella

The main portion of the resolutions

and denunciation of attacks made on the
teaching of temperance in the schools and

pecially, to contend for its maintenance and
extension.

FAVOR THE CHARTER.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Nov. 1S-At meeting or
three hundred business men IN the Circuit
Court room last night the sentiment In
favor of the proposed special charter Tor
the city, which will be voted on next Tues
day, was almost unanimous. The only OBJ
lection TO the new form of government
is the property-holding qualifications at
tached to the city offices. 1t was thought
unjust to require that a member Of the
board of public works should be prop
erty-holder for five years preceding his
term of Office.
The most commendable features of the
charter are the provisions for the county
treasurer to collect the city taxes also, and
for the control of the police TO be taken
out of the hands of the Governor and
placed with the people. 1t was generally
agreed that the present form of city gov
eminent is out of date, and that the new
charter is necessary for the future develop
ment of the city.
