The Yellow Flag.

What was first thought to be
chickenpox has, in the opinion of
the local authorities, turned out
to be smallpox and so the yellow
flag, in affected quarters, is now
in evidence.
The smallpox, if such it really
be, is in a very mild form, the
victims being only sick a day or
two at most, and in no case so
far has it left any outward sign.
Modified quarantine, called by
some house quarantine" has
been declared and the same is to
be enforced until the disease is
stamped out.
Under these circumstances,
with quarantine regulations en-
forced as determined upon by
City Physician Parsons and Coun-
ty Physician Stewart, and with
the cooperation of the other ply
SicianS of the town, there is
little danger of the diseasespread-
ing and people may come to town
without danger of coming in CON
tact with infected persons.
The school has been discontin-
ued for the present and the resi-.
dences under quarantine regula-
tons for the present are as fol-
lows:
w. C. Baird, J. w. Prichard, J.
f. Smith, |. G. Jenkins, |. W.
Mcclure, Rev. Hawthorne, John
Knight, A. n. Henson.
AS previously stated, the cases
are very mild in form, not near
so bad as measles; no one need
fear as to disastrous results
among those afflicted and the
only reasons for the quarantine
is to stamp the disease out in its
infancy and to remove fear Of
contagion from those who may
have business in town.

THE VOTING
MACHINE To
Be DECIDED
Third Ward Voters Expected to
Give System Same Dose as the
Rest Of the State.
WILL DECIDE NEXT TUESDAY

That the death knell of the voting
machines in the third ward will be
sounded next Tuesday, at special
elections to be held in both districts,
Is confidently expected by those who
are opposed to the retention Of these
devices.
While 1t is practically admitted
that the voting machines have never
had fair opportunity to demon
strate their usefulness fully here,
because Of their yearly moving from
one ward to another, those who pc
titioned the Board of Aldermen sew
eral weeks ago do not believe that
this system is equal to the old ballot
plan of voting.
1t is believed that the machines
will be dropped by the vote of the
third warders. at next Tuesdays cleo
tion. The polls Will open at o'clock
in the morning and will close at 7
o'clock in the evening. The polling
place of the flrst district of the third
ward will be the Protection Hook &
Ladder Company's house, 287 State
street, and the second district at the
barber shop of Louis Ceracchio &
Sons, 3S9 State street.

this afternoon that, If property-own.
ers along Smith, Sheridan and Grace

culate them at once, the new long.
proposed Sheridan street sewer sys-

order by November. The engineer
stated that, until the property own

that for their own good, the people
lose no time In starting the petitions
and IL possible, have them in at the
council meeting on the evening OF
September /. A petition has been
received from Goodwin street.

structed of number of sizes Of pipes

Selected For

FOR PELTIER
Club Went on Record for ". P
Bradley for School COmmiS-
SiOHer John Hanson is
Treasurer Of the
Organization.

The first straw to show which way
the wind is blowing in the contest
for the nomination for congress on
the republican ticket in this city,
was the action of the First Ward
Republican Club last night, in pick
Ing three candidates for delegates to
the congressional convention and i'm
structing them to vote for the re-
nomination of Benjamin F. Howell.
The delegates favored by the club
are Hans Iverson, Victor w. Main
and James 70. Noe.
There has been more or less of a
mystery about this club as to which
side of the party 1t belonged, wheth-
or 1t has the backing of the Eggert
men or the Haney faction. The
members themselves have claimed
but were merely republican voters
who have organized to further their
own interests. At the meeting pre-
vious to last night George ]. Haney
was present and made a few re-
marks. Luther Hope, the other
county committeeman, was also pres
ent. Last night Mr.. Hope was not
there at the opening, but came later
In response to telephone call.
At previous meeting Hans Iver-
Ion had been chosen president of the
club. Last night William P. Bradley
was elected vice president and John
Hanson was elected treasurer.
Among the other things done was to
endorse the candidacy of William p.
Bradley for school commissioner. a
position which he now holds. r. a..
Peltier was also endorsed for the
candidate for sheriff
For stormy night the meeting
was large and enthusiastic. When
the matter Of Congressional. dele
gates was taken up the question
arose as to the instructions. Mr..
lvesson said he preferred to 60 un-
Instructed and the matter was dis
cussed at length, but in the end the
club went on record as favoring the
denomination of Mr.. Howell and the
men selected as delegates will go be-
fore the caucus as Howell delegates.
The meeting was held as usual in
Martins hall at 145 Madison avenue.
Mr.. Koch, the chairman OF the press
ecnlmittee, is active In his work and
to his energy is largely due the large
attendance ac the meetings.

C. W. YEPSEN
/. ON THE STAND

Judge Adrian Lyon rendered a
verdict in favor of the defendant in
the matter of promisory of note
of the former harrington Company
vs.. Niels Peter Poulsen, in the dis
trict court, this morning.
George w. Yepsen, former en-
ploye of the Farrintgon Company,
was one of the principal witnesses
in the case and testified that the note
had been paid to him and he in turn
had been reimbursed by the Far
rington Company.
The note in question was made by
the defendant for $133.45, as a re-
newal of another note of like
amount. 1t was a promissory note
made payable in three months and
was made on April IA, 1908, pay
able at the First National Bank. It
was endorsed by the Harrington
Company, per s. r. Harrington, an
official, and G. w. Yepsen. 1t was
discounted and, at maturity, was not
paid, but charged to the Harrington
Company.
Mr.. Yepsen's testimony showed
that he had borrowed $3.50 for the
harrington Company. He testified
to having borrowed money for them
upon other occasions. He also told
of having received $116 and the note
from the Harrington Company, as
the payment for the $3.50 which he
had borrowed for them.
G. c. Hommann was attorney for
the defendant, and John w. Beck
man represented the Farrintgon
Company.
