FOR Il QUIET CHICAGO.
Epidemic Causes Proclamation from
Health Department.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-The epidemic OF scarlet
fever and diphtheria declared by the health
department to-day TO be n the increase and
spreading over the West Side. Three hundred
and fourteen new cases of scarlet fever were re-
ported to-day. The total number Of cases Of
fever now in the city is believed 20 be about
1900. The health department also reports a
slight increase in the number OF diphtheria
cases to-day.
Health Commissioner Whalen to-day issued a
proclamation in which, after reciting the facts
regarding the epidemic, he said:
The commissioner believes that great aid can
be rendered TO the health department II people
throughout the city will for the time being call
Off and cancel all social engagements as far
possible. Especially would he ask that all balls
and public gatherings Of social nature be aban-
doned for the next few weeks

no violation of etiquette or proper procedure
had been conn itteC.
Still this view of the case did not satisfy the
Governor that n, --os absOlved OF responsibility,

which accompanied the Wendell resignation is
significant. II sid:
IF my Tesigna' ,on is accepted hereby waive
all right TO fu. and honorable discharge and
agree to accept such discharge as may be given
me-"
Considerable criticism has been voiced here
that the Adjutant General exceeded his author
ity. The explanation given is that he was mere
ly acting in conformity with the custom of his
office. The Wendell resignation was sent first
10 General Charles +. Roe, commanding the
Adtutant General. 1t is held by some that this
practically compelled the Adjutant General to
accept it, 1t may be said that the Governor was
not anxious to force General Henry into this
abOut-face, but believed his own responsibility
OF sufficient weight to demand such a course.
General Henry would not discuss the case to-
night.

JARVIS NEVER LOSES A CUSTOMER
DAN MLEoD MEETS WINNER
Ready with Challenge to wRssem or
Burns After Their Wrestle
at Auditorium.

Dan Mcleod stands ready with a chal-
lenge to the winner of the Burns-W assem
match at the Auditorium February q.
Peter Loeb has received letter from Nc
Leod at Ottumwa, Ia, in which he ex-
presses his desire to take on Farmer Burns
or oscar wassem after their bout on the
mat here.
This insures another great match for
Omaha fans. who are getting their share
of treats. He and Burns have met but
wassem has never tried him as yet.
The Wassem- Burns match is anticipated
with Thea keenest sort of interest because
OF the superiority of both men. They are
two of the most skilful wrestlers of the
day and they pursue much the same tao
tics, so that 1t ought to be a real tug-of-
war. Their sizes are nearly even, too.
Burns, of course. has been a favorite in
Omaha for many years, while Wassem has
made himself popular idol within the last
few weeks. Wassem is more eager to win
this match than any he ever had and Burns
Is as anxious for him not to win.
An interesting preliminary to the Burns
Wassem match will be a wrestle between
two of the farmers boys, IL and 10 years
of age, respectively. The youngsters are
born wrestlers and put up very clever
little game. They probably will be great
drawing cards.

letter TO Prof. waldstein. published in the

pose to give 100000 from the surplus of
the Italian budget for the excavations at

begging, TO the dishonor Of Italy, amidst

dignity Of the Italian government and
people against the interference Of for
eigners in the excavations, not only at
Herculaneum, but elsewhere, as we'll as
against the collection Of unnecessary money
abroad for wirk for which the resources
of Italy are sufficient. Prof. Boni par
ticularly points TO the case of Herculaneum.

with the water Works
Company.

Although the special committee on water
works, Of which he is member, has up
to date practically not made the slightest
progress in the negotiations between the
city council and the management of the
water works company, Councilman knud-
sen yesterday was exhibiting maps and
plans for an extension of the system, which
include thirty-two blocks OF mains. Ala
though not SO definitely stated. It IL un-
derstood that the councilman from the
Fourth ward intends TO submit his plans,
etc, at the next meeting of the city coun-
ell in order that the extensions OF the
system in his balliwick suggested by
him, shall be taken into account in the
further negotiations with the water works
company.
When Councilman Younkerman learned
what Mr.. Knudsen was doing he said:
whats the use? l am not going to sug-
gest any extensions for my part of the
city. Let's first find out where we are at.
don't see any good suggesting or deciding
on extensions or anything else in that way,
until we know whether the city is going to
buy the plant or whether we are going to
give the water works company a new
franchise"
IAN this talk about extensions is the
veriest bosh at this time remarked an
other councilman yesterday when asked
II he was going TO follow Mr. Knudsen' s
lead and file a long list of desired extern
sions with the city council.
When asked what he knew about the pro-
posed extensions. Manager Hart of the
water works company smiled and said:
Our company is prepared to make all
necessary extensions and furnish water
wherever the demand warrants the outlay,
but It is plain to everyone that the COM
pany's hands are at present tied and can
do nothing until the city comes to some
arrangement with IT, This delay in arriv-
| ing at some settlement OF the question is
as vexatious to the water company as II
