SMALLPOX PREVALENT.

The Gardnerville Courier states
that a scourge of smallpox is ram
pant among the Washoe Indians of
that valley and measures are being
taken by the Douglas county board
of health to stop the spread of the
disease. The officials there claim that
the epidemic was brought to that val
ley by an Indian who was ordered out
of Reno because he showed symptoms
of the disease instead of the officials
of that town having him placed in
the pest house. Several Indians and
their families have been placed in
quarantine so far and the county
physician is making a Thorough tn
vestigation of the conditions there.

Special to the Herald.
Goshen, N. Y, Oct 19.-The trial
of Charles Henry Rogers for murder
will begin here Monday. Rogers is
charged with having murdered Fred
R. olney, Willis c. Olney and Alice
Ingerick at a farm near Middletown
on October 6. 1905. After a search of
a year and half Pinkerton detectives
found Rogers in Los Angeles and he
was arrested April last During the
trip across the continent Rogers is
said to have confessed the crime in
all details to Sheriff A. i. Decker
Fred Olney and his brother, Willis,
were old and respected farmers. Mrs.
Ingerick was their housekeeper. On
the morning of the murders Fred Oh
ney took the oldest daughter Of Mrs.
Ingerick to Pilgrims Corners. He
left the girl with a friend to come
home on foot in the afternoon. She
returned with the friend and found
the house locked. Becoming frighten-
ed, she went to the home of a neigh
Dor, Dan Davis.
Davis broke into the house, and at
the foot of the stairs found the young
er Ingerick girl, 9 years old, with her
skull crushed. Davis summoned the
Middletown police by telephone The
police arrived and examined the prem
Uses. In Willis olney's room they
found leather trunk opened and the
money and valuables gone. In the
cellar was found a length OF gas pipe
wrapped in a bloody newspaper.
In stall in the barn Mrs. Ingerick
was found moaning under a pile of
hay. She had evidently been hit over
the head with the piece of gas pipe.
1t was not until the next morning that
the bodies of the Olney brothers were
found. The barking Of a pet dog in a
clump of bushes near the house led
the officials to the spot. Fred olney
had fegP AaeeiHsss m / ms body and
Willis two.
Rogers was not suspected OF the
brutal murders at first. He is said to
have been friendly with Mrs. Ingerick,
who, after the assault, fingered be-
tween life and death for days. When
she recovered in a measure she pro-
fessed to have no recollection of the
crimes and disclaimed all knowledge
regarding the identity of the murder
er. Soon after the murders Rogers
disappeared from Middletown, and it
was then that suspicion was turned
toward him. It is thought that he
heard that the Olney brothers had in
their possession $4,000 cash and some
valuables.
The Pinkertons searched in vain
for some trace of Rogers until Jan.

letters he wrote to persons in Middle.

GET TITLE TO GOOD HOME.
A $4,000 Reward to Children Who
Cared for Their Parents.

Concordia, June 19.-John Mallory,
of Concordia, has won case before
Judge r. NJ. Picker at Mankato
which gives him and his sister, Mrs.
Myra Palmer, a clear title to a piece
of land worth probably $4,000.
About IL years ago, when farmers
were not worth much in Kansas,
Johns father and mother, who have
both since passed away, owned a
quarter section two miles from Jewell
upon which there was $1,000 mort
gage. They were getting old and
were somewhat discouraged, so, on
the advice of the children who had
married and left home, they entered
into a contract with their son John
and daughter both single, to take the
farm and run it, with the promise
that they were to keep the old folks
while living. The deed and contract
were made out and the two children
kept their contract faithfully.
With the prosperity of recent years,
however, farms in Kansas have be-
come valuable and this one has come
to be worth probably $4,000. This
fact led some of the brothers to sue
for share in the property. The court
found their title perfect and that none
others had any claim whatever These
two will now divide their interests,
which will give each a nice nest egg.

CONCERNING MEXICO RATES.
Commerce Commission Makes Ruling
on Ticklish Point.

An important ruling has been made
by the interstate commerce commits
sion regarding the filing of joint tariffs
showing rates to points across the
Mexican frontier to which the Mexican
roads have not filed any assent. The
Mexican roads are debarred from filing
such assent by an edict of their own
government that they must be subject
to no authority outside their own ter
ritory.
In view of this the commission has
intimated that until further notice it
will accept for filing tariffs issued by
roads in the United States. naming
Joint rates to points in Mexico, without
concurrence of roads controlled by the
Mexican government, provided the tar
ifs show the divisions between the
carriers of each state to the border
and are accompanied by division sheets
covering the tariffs.
This ruling does not apply in any
way to traffic into Canada, nor to the
tariffs of water lines When water
lines participate in joint through rates,
they must file concurrence the same
as the roads are required to do. The
rule in regard to Mexican roads, con-
trolled by the Mexican government,
applies only to such roads. and may
not be used as a precedent for action
by other roads or water lines.

WANT PURE FOOD LAW
Second Case of the Kind at
Chanute This Month.
A Test of the Cream Shows Big
Lack of Butter Fat.

Chanute, Kan, June 19.-There seems
to be need of a pure food law here that
will be enforced.
A week ago about % persons were
dangerously poisoned from eating ice
cream. And now comes repetition of
this only on a smaller scale.
At banquet served by the Sons and
Daughters of Justice in the Woodman
hall, eight persons who partook of ice
cream were rendered deathly sick about
three hours later. Several physicians
were called and worked with the suf-
ferers until morning before they were
considered out of danger. Those effect
ed by the ptomaines were Mrs. Yves
Phillips and daughter. Mrs. Hettie Rugg
and her daughter Hattie, Mrs. Dough-
ty, Mrs. Cooper and Herman Bertram.
The cream was purchased at a local
drug store but came from Parsons. A
test of the cream from this firm made
a the state university last winter shows
that it contains only, ~ per cent butter
fat or about half the prescribed quanti-
ty. A sample of the cream which pro-
duced the sickness. of those eating
heartily of it has been sent to the state
university for analysis. No report has
been received from the cream sent to
Prof. Bailey last week.

TREMENDOUS PAY ROLL.
At Pittsburg, Kan, Over a Million Is
Paid Out Monthly.


Pittsburg. Kan, June 19.-Much
has been said in the past about the
pay days of Pittsburg, and various
estimates have been made of their
volume. 1t was known that they were
heavy, and in approximating them in
the past they have been variously
placed at from $75O,O0O to $1.0OO,0OO
per month.
Recently the Commercial club has
had printed pocket compendium of
useful information concerning Pitts
burg and her interests, and in this is
one department giving the pay days
Of the industries centering in Pitts
burg comprising all lines of business.
These figures were not based upon
hearsay, but were obtained by Secre-
tary w. J. Watson from the secre-
taries and other persons of the firms
or corporations conducting business in
this locality, and may be relied upon
as authentic.
BY the Commercial clubs returns
it is found that there is paid out in
Pittsburg and surrounding territory,
the money for which comes to Pitts
burg, the enormous sum Of $13,S3S,-
254 annually. This gives a monthly
pay roll of $1,152,771.162 a sum
siderably in excess of any former
estimate. Again reducing the amount
it is found that the weekly pay roll is a
fraction over $2S8,192.79.

Ripley's Ideas on Federal
Valuation of Railways.
Cannot See How Good Will
Come From 1t.
NOT AS A RATE BASIS.
NOT AS A RATE BASIS.
Differently Valued Roads Now
Make Same Rates.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

E. P. Ripley. president of the Atchi-
son, Topeka & Santa F'e Railway COM
pany, makes clear his ideas on the
question: Shall the federal govern
ment make a valuation of the physical
properties of the railroads of the ma
tion as a basis for fixing rates?" which
was suggested by President Roosevelt
in his Memorial day speech at Indian
apolis Mr.. RipIey's views are express
ed in the following letter to the Chi
cago Record-Herald:-
Il. The making of railway rates has
not. never did have, never will have
and never ought to have. any relation
to the capitalization of the railroads.
-. the making of railway rates
must to a large extent disregard the
cost of service. l. e., it will always be
to the best interest of both the COM
munity and the carrier that some ton
cost. and it follows that other traffic
must pay and should pay very large
excess over the average cost.
IS. There is only one way to make
railroad rates-viz: the exercise of
judgment to the value of the ser
vice to the shipper; but this is natural
~ and with automatic certainty limit
ed to reasonable rates by natural con-
ditions as we'll as by law.
1t is, therefore, difficult to see what
is to be gained by anybody if the gov
eminent undertakes a so-called val
uation' of the railroads. No two men
or two committees would agree as to
the value of any of the properties
either on what you call a physical
or 'commerciaI basis. 1 am well sat
isfied for instance, that the Santa Fe
companys property could not be re-
produced today for the total par value
of its stock and bonds. If a govern
ment commission should find other
wise, would our stockholders believe
it, or believe me? If government
commission should find that we were
under-ca pitalized would we be en-
titled to raise our rates? and if it hap
pen that our competitor is found to be
over-cap italized will he be forced to
reduce his rates2 AS we now both
make the same rates what would be
the effect If one of US advanced and
the other reduced?
Il can not answer your question as
to the effect of such valuation upon
the railway industry. I simply can not
see that the valuation could serve any
good purpose. though 1 am quite in
different as to whether or not it be
undertaken"

HARTMAN SURE TO GET 1T.
Roosevelt Eager to Give Him Cuff
With big Stick

With big Stick
Washington. June 19.-One of the
last things the president discussed
with his advisers before going to Oys-
ter Bay was the troublesome Hartman
case. The president made it plain that
he is exceedingly anxious to bring Mr..
Hartman into court, and he is strongly
tempted to run counter to the advice
of his cabinet and institute legal pro-
ceedings against him, regardless of
consequences The situation is now as
follows:
The interstate commerce commits
sion is to prepare a digest of the evil
dence on file and the laws that are
supposed to have been violated. This
report will go to Attorney General
Bonaparte, who will inform the presi-
dent of the chances of conviction.
Then, if the president still thinks that
Hartman ought to be punished, that
the evidence warrants action, and is
convinced that business and political
conditions will stand it, suit will be
brought.
Ali idea of criminal proceedings has
been abandoned. and at the most Mr.:
Hartman can be proceeded against
only IN civil suits.
The conservatives among his adj
visers have told the president that the
industrial and financial situation is
critical, and that it will be dangerous
to attack big railroad systems. There
may be a boomerang in a decision
against Hartman that will rebound
and make necessary similar suits
against railroads that are not classed
as bad" ones"
These arguments are evidently hav-
ing some weight with the president.
Against them are the presidents over
towering dislike of the fnancier and
his ambition to deal him blow. The
country has been promised that Har-
riman shall feel the weight of the big
stick" and the president wants to re-
deem this promise.
There is also a feeling at the White
House that failure to prosecute the
railroad magnate will be taken as.
weakening of the administration policy
toward the trusts. A shrewd guess is
that there will be further limitations
of suits against Hartman, but that the
suits will not materialiZe.
