NO QUARANTINE
New Rules Regulating the Premises
Where there are Cases of
Smallpox

The following are the new
rules for caring for cases of
small pox, and which does away
with the iormer system of quar-.
antine in such cases. The rules
have been sent out by DR.. Pea
body, the state superintendent
of the board Of health and DR..
kriesel, the chair man of the
county board asks the publica
ton OF the circular, which is as
follows:
Whereas, it is the opinion of the
State Board of Health of the State of
South Dakota that the Only safe
preventative of small pox is vaccina-
ton, and that quarantine in such
cases is unscientitic and of no avail in
preventing the spread of this disease.
Therefore, be it resolved to remove
the quarantine from the premises oc.
cupied by smallpox as laid down in
rule 10 and IA.
Rule %. The local health officer
having knowledge of or having rea
son to suspect the existence of small
pox shall investigate and at once
place upon the house where smallpox
exists sign setting forth the facts.
This sign is to serve only as warn
ing to those who may wish to avoid
the house, and as an indication of
quarantine. When the attending
physician considers the patient to
have recovered, he shall report the
fact to the local health officer, who
shall remove the warning card. The
patient must not leave the house until
the warning card is removed.
Rule %. The apartments occupied
by a smallpox patient shall be -eem-
edinfected, and when vacated by
death, removal Or recovery, shall,
together with their contents, be
thoroughly disinfected under the sup
ervision of the local health officer.
Every physician shall Immediately
report in writing to the
local health officer, the name of every
smallpox patient under his care.
Every physician shall report to the
local health officer the d ath of any
smallpox patient under his care within
twelve hours thereafter.
The local health officer of any city,
VILLAGE or township must report to the
county health officer all cases of small
pox occurring within his jurisdiction
within24 hours, and he to the Superin-
tendent Of the State Board of Health
of South Dakota.

CAUGHT ON THE WING

the boys as he was putting on
his coat after washup, "do you
remem ber the old days here in
Milbank, when the freight d.
vision was here? Great bunch of
fellows. Aud didn't the report
come like bolt of lightning out
of a clear sky, that said the di-
vision was to 60 to Montevideo?
If | remember right this section
of the country had been pretty
dry-no rain at all, and the town
depended good deal on the
railroad boys money. About
30 families in all. And the day
the last engine and her crew
pulled out tor Montevideo-'twas
just as though there was a fun
eral in town. But the company
had to do it. Too much expense.
Say, the way the company is
making improvements looks as
though the good old days were
coming back again. Hope they
do, for | always liked Milbank.
Lots of changes in the town
since that fateiuI June, '93.
Wonder where all the boys are
now, that were here at that time.
There was Dugg Jones, fireman,
Stanley Cotton. fireman, Thomas
Eagan, brakeman, Tom Clork,
engineer. Bowker, | see him
every day or so. He was brak-
ing in those days. There was
Waite Keeney, conductor of a
passenger between the cities and
Aberdeen. They say he S living
at Corona now. A fine fellow,
always knew a string of good
stories on the boys. Let's see,
Walter Hayden Vas roundhouse
foreman; and there was Henry
Thorne, brakeman; he runs a
train on the Andover line now.
And Charles Ginder, engineer,
Buff Starr, fireman. Under
stand he's running an engine
from cities to Aberdeen now
Then there was Dan Kelliher,
machinist; Mike Doner, engin-
eer; and John Payne, the depot
agent here. A. B. Conright was
firing in those days. Fred Nc
MILAN was a conductor and
there was WilIet Hyde, conduc-
tor and Will Rogers, brakeman.
Reuben Aulthouse was pulling
the throttle, as was Blly Edding-
ton. John Beckwer was yard
master and ran the train to Will
mot, which was the end of the
branch in those days. John
Wertz was braking, Ed. McCar
thy, engineer, and James Null
len conductor. He runs pas
senger now from the cities to
Aberdeen. Al Brown was brak-
ing then and John Fox worked
in the roundhouse. Ill never
forget happy Jack Owens-no
one will that knew him. Alpheus
Hocun, on the Fargo line now,
was braklng a that time. Dave
Dave Thill is still running an
engine and gets into Milbank d
good deal of the time. Don t
know where Charley Agges who
was conductor is now. Pat Croak,
firing then, is pulling an old
iron horse with the best of them
now. | remember the day we
left as we'll as though it was only
recently. We all went up and
had our photograph taken in
front of the Merchants bank.
There We're 20 of us in that pic
ture. Some of the boys are
dead now, and Of those in the
plcture ab)lt tel are dtl thit
get to Milbank now. The brake.
men and tiremen of those days
are gray headed conductors and
engineers now There's almost
a new generation of boys work
ing on the road Low. But say,
let's go get something to eat.

What should he considered Americas

been revived again ia President Roose-

such a purpose. with all their merits,
various objections have been urged
against "NIy Country. 'ris of Thee,
and THE Star Spangled Banner" the
tune of the former having been bor-
rowed from Europe and the words OF
the latter containing many references
! which are deemed out OF date and In.
appropriate today. President Roosevelt
thinks that the words OF Mrs. Howe's
composition could hardly be surpassed
for dignity and poetic sentiment. How
ever, IN the discussion which has en-
sued many protests have been made
against any change such us proposed
For instance. one writer says:

Sir John Charles Day. the English
Judge who earned the title of the
'hooligan's terror" died at the age of
eighty-two. In the nineteen years Sir
John was Il judge of the high court
from 1882 to 190l--he was noted for
his gift of solemn humor and for his
drastic fogglng sentences. In fourteen
years lie sentenced 131 criminals to
3,I66 strokes of the cat. Once he said
10 a gang of Liverpool rufiians: II am
not going TO give you men long terms
OF imprisonment. but when you go In
you get twenty lashes of the cat; when
you have been in nine months you get
twenty lashes of the cat: before you
come out you get twenty iashes of the
cill. And then you can show what you
have got TO your friends" He was per-
haps the only English judge who ever
did "hard labor" While on visit to a
prison he tried the treadmlll. but when
lie asked to be set free the guard pre-
tended not to hear his request. The
Judge was persplring freely 10y the
time he was permitted to abandon his
experiment.
