HIGGINS REARRESTED.
Fort Scott Man Charged With First
Degree Murder Now

Fort Scott. Nov 13.-George Rig
gins mas again been placed under ar
rest charged with cruelty to his chill
dren, Herbert Higgins deceased, and
Gertrude higgins. at the Sisters of st.
Joseph, at Wichita. There was also
some surprise expressed when It was
announced that Clarissa Shaw had
been certified to the district court for
trial on the charge of murder in the
first degree. It was rather expected
that the girl would be sent to the re-
formatory at Beloit by Judge Hudson
of the juvenile court.
The re-arrest of George higgins was
the result of additional evidence fall
ing into the hands Of County Attorney
Humphrey during the past week He
declared yesterday afternoon that he
was positively in position now to con-
Wet him of misdemeanor. and he
also said that the evidence made a
much stronger case against Mrs Rig
gins and her daughter higgins was
al work at Minden for the Frisco. He
is in the county jail in default of bail
in the sum of $1,000.

Says That They Help to Spread
Diphtheria.
WON'T CLOSE SCHOOLS.
Head Of Health Board Says 1t
Does No Good.
Topeka Well Situated With Ref
erenee to Health.

City Physician H. B. Hogeboom
wants to run the patent medicine sure
cure agents out of the city. He blames
them with the prevalence of diphtheria
and smallpox and says that were it not
for the sale of these supposedly cures"
that the epidemic of diphtheria and
smallpox could be more easily checked.
They ought to run these people out
Of the city who sell sure cures for
diphtheria and smallpox" said he.
They ought to at least legislate
against allowing them TO put those
words on the bottles or wrappers. It
is that thing more than any other
which keeps us from tracing down an
epidemic and keeping It in check. Peo-
pie look at the label and buy the medi
cine and for quite a while we find
out nothing about these cases existing.
BY that time the affected person has
exposed others to the malady and the
epidemic is on its course. These timer
ant falkirs who sell these sure cures
run down antitoxin. Antitoxin without
a question has done more to check the
mortality of diphtheria than any other
discovery of recent years in the medi-
cal world. Antitoxin and the placing of
tubes in the throat of the persons af-
fected are the two things which have
brought down the mortality of the dis
ease. Before these the percentage of
faIal cases ran up to 40 and 90 per cent
and it has now been reduced to per
cent
An epidemic of diphtheria exists over
the state and during the month of Oe-
tober 45 cases of this sickness were
quarantined in Topeka.
L am not going to close the schools
even if diphtheria does break out with
violence" said DR.. Hogeboom. Z don't
believe that the closing of the schools
does any good. 1t is a great deal bet
ter to keep them open.a You can keep
tab on the children in that way and
trace the course of the epidemic. When
you close the schools you haven't any
way OF keeping tab on the children and
they are out on the streets and run
ming about. If you could keep them off
the streets it would be all right but that
is impossible. Let loose on the streets

At present we haven't a single case

what remarkable since the weather
which has been prevalent for the past
several weeks is supposed to be espec-

of homes and overeating are both IA
Vorable towards catching pneumonia
Topeka is fortunately situated as
regards maintaining health in the com
munity. A large amount of these cpl
denies can be traced to foreigners who
have just recently landed. Immigrants
are always a fruitful ground for the
spread of contagious diseases. Topeka
does not get many of this class we are
too far inland, and for this reason We
are comparatively free.

BEEF TRUST INQUIRY.
Federal Grand Jury Trying to Indict
High Official.

Chicago, April 15.-The grand jury
investigating the beef trust made spe-
cial efforts to secure enough evidence
from two women and one man to in
dict a high official Of the leading pack
ing firms in Chicago. The charge is
attempting to influence government
witnesses The three witnesses were
summoned and we're rigidly questioned,
but failed to tell as much 3 had been
expected. Although indictments on
the charge named have been returned
against five persons. il is claimed that
efforts are still being made TO interfere
with government witnesses It is re
ported that the first intimation of the
alleged interference with another wit
ness was gathered from the testimony
of e b Fish, on whose testimony four
employees of Schwartzschild & SulZ-
berger were indicted Thursday.
Another delay in the case Of Thomas
J. COnnOrs, the indicted general SUI
per~tendent Of Armour K Co, was
granted by Judge Lands today by
agreement of counsel for the packers
aud for the government. The matter
went over until next SATURDAY

Mrs. Richard w. Howes wife of the
head of the casing department OF
Swift 6, Co. The husband of each wo-
man is in Canada. Mrs Want and Mrs.
Howes left Chicago shortly before the
grand jury convened. That the hus-
bands are in Canada at the insttgaJion
of the legal advisers of a certain pack
ing company is a charge which, il is
said. che government seeks to prove
from the testimony of the wives, both
of whom returned from Canada within
the last few days
Since returning Mrs. HOweS is said
to have met an attorney connected with
a prominent packing firm and els
cussed plans for trip to Europe with
her husband a similar trip for the
