their professional dignity disturbed
provided the city physician went in his
official capacity, under orders from the
board of health.
It was decided, however, as q COM
promise, to refuse 10 accept the dag
nosis of chickenpox for cases in the in
fected district, and require that all sus-
piciOus cases be treated by the board
of health and quarantine officers as
smallpox.
DR.. HOgeboom made a report of the
Investigations which had been made by
himself and DR. Van Horn on Thurs
day afternoon. He said:
I'VE called at the houses where small
pOx was supposed to exist, examined the
cases and are convinced that the cases
are genuine smallpox. Some of the
cases are severe, but most of them are
mild This Thompson case is a man
about IS years old, and he is broken
out from head to foot with typical pus-
tules. The palms of his hands and SO1es
of his feet are broken out.
I'VE also examined the Ogee family,
and found that one of the children had
just recovered from the disease. This
child was pitted with regular smallpox
scars. Other children in the family have
the same disease.
at is my opinion that there will be
many other cases develop within a short
time. The books at Van Buren, school
have been burned by Mr.. Bayless, the
janitOr. At Garfield school, it has been
decided that it will be sufficient to thor
oughly fumigate the books, except those
which were used by pupils suspected Of
having had the disease. These VIII be
burned
7 think it would be a pretty good
plan to find ont what families have
been violating quarantine regulations,
and have some of the arrested. We Will
have to make an example of a few of
these people to make our quarantine
laws respected. If people are not afraid
of the disease itself, they ought to be
made to respect the laws
Mayor Davis, who was present, inquired
whether the epidemic constitutes a really
serious menace to the city.
1T is possible for very serious condi-
we ought to take radical measures to
stop the epidemic before it goes any fur
Their"
How many cases are likely to develop
before we can begin to see the effects of
the work." asked the mayor.
We'll, I suppose we may be able to stop
it with double the number of cases there
are at present" replied the city physi-
clan.
DR.. HOGeboom and DR.. Van Horn made
some investigations of the Sells circus
employees, but failed to discover any cases
of the disease.
This afternoon the doctors are investi-
atlng the reported cases in Keith S addl-
ton. There is reason to believe, from re
ports received at the health office, that
two families on East Eighteenth street
have the disease and that a number of
the school children in that part of town
have been attending school with faces
broken out.
The case at III Kansas avenue is in the
family of NJ. c. NaylOr. H W NaylOr
lives at 1920 and there are no cases there.

At Brookdale, Santa Cruz county, Cali
fornia. a fine specimen Of the sequoias or
redwood tree, was blown over in a recent
storm The tree is estimated to be over
9so Years old. Ten feet from the top of
the treet and at a distance of 165 feet
from the ground, was found a hole some
what less than two feet deep. It had once
been the nest of a Woodpecker. In this
hole had grown a sturdy, Shree-stalked
huekleberry bush two feet tall. Its roots,
extending six feet into the heart OF the
tree had absorbed the sap Of the redwood.

More suspected cases of smallpox
have been discovered in Keith's addi-
ton, just across the Santa Fe tracks
east of Walnut Grove, and the proba-
bility is that when the doctors investi-
gate, they will find that the whole south
side of town is in about the same state
of infection as that part where the big
red cards have already been posted in
such profusion.
This morning the newly appointed
board Of health met on advice of Mayor
Davis, and organized by the election of
Dr. r. S. Plummer of North Topeka as
chairman. The terms of the old board
viii not expire for few days, but it
was thought best, in view of the small

to take charge of the work at once

was this morning sworn in.
Mayor Davis attended the speciaI
