SMALLPOX PATIENTS AT LARCE An Alarming State of Affairs at the Pest House. CARELESS GUARDS ON DUTY. One Man Esoapes in His Shirt and Visits Several Houses—Inviting an Epldemic—in the Political Field. . [PROM TR BEE'S LINCOLX BUREAU.] ‘A gentleman called atthe Brr office yester day and protested against the action of the city authorities in regard to tho smallpox cases. e states there aro four cases in the city and that the pest houso is within the city limits, that there are no guards over it, and parties are lishle to escape at any time, He further states that yesterday morning one of the patients escaped at about 5 a. m., with nothing on but a shirt, and walking through the terrible hail and ice, wont along knocking at the doors of residences in that vicinity asking for admittance, thereby ex- posing people before he could be captured. The gentleman also states that visitors are allowed o call at the pest house and then re- turn to the city, and he asks that public at- tention be called to the recklossness of the suthoritics, CITY POLITICS, City politics are putting on spring hues preparatory to the municipal election that occurs one week from Tucsday. The prol Dition party has been in the field for ten days and, if noise and gusto count, their campaign is an aggressive one, However, thero was too much_water Saturday evening falling 1upom the just and unjust oven for o protl bitionists and their campaign rally at Bohan- non's hall was abandoned. . Thus far the democrats in the city have tasued no call for primaries o o city convon. tion. The prohibition party having already nominated the present democratic polico Judgge it is ovident that the work of the demo- crats will be practically an_endorsement of the prohibition ticket when they meot. T'he Republican City committee has called the republican ward primaries for Wednes- day, the 28th, and_the city convention for Suturday evening the Bist, the latter to bo held at Bohannon’s hall. The convention will also be in the form of a grand rally at which ull the ward republican clubs in'the city will be called upon to attend. The con- vention will consist of cighty-soven delegates divided among the different wards as follows: First ward, 16; Second ward, 17; Fourth ward, 10; Fifth ward, 15; Sixth ward, 7, a total of 87 votes in the convention. The different ward primarics will be held at the following places: Kirst ward, engine house, No. 1; Second” ward, engin® house, No. 2; Third ward, Green's lumber ofiice; Fourth ward, Howard’s shop; Fifth ward, Geisler's store; Sixth ward, at O and Twen: ty-fourth streots. These primaries will be hold under the provisions of the Raymond pri-- mary election law, the polis ovening at noon and closing at 7 p. m. Several animated con- tests for ward councilmen are expected. DASE DALL MATTERS, Arrangements aro practically completed by which Lincoln will be represented in the Western league the present year. A num- ber of busincss men in the city have placed the arrangements of tho affair In tho hands of James Keith and important negotiations aro now procecding, Thoold franchise hold Dby Lincoln the past two years in the West- tern league holds good and the handsome grounds on R stroet have been retained for the season. An effort being. made to seoure “Pap” Shaffer a8 mana| of the club the present season and if he is secured it 18 a guarantee that a winning nine will be signed. The sal- ary limit, it is believed, will tend to make all olubs in the Western association practically eqt in the contest and a close contest through the season will make the gate re- ceipts what they should be for a financial success, A TIORSE IMPORTERS’ ASSOCIATION. An official call has been made for a meet- ing in this city on Wednesday, April 4, for the purpose of organizing an importing draft horse association, The meeting will be held at one of the principal hotels, and the call urges all Nebraskans in- terested in draft horses and improving this ‘branch of the state stock interest to be pres- ent. The call recites that draft horsemen are organized in all the other states and it urges upon Nebraska horsemen the import- ance of organizing for the same purpose. TURNED FROM THE EAST. State Veterinarian Gerth and Live Stock Commissioner Abbey returned last evening from their official visit to the pleuro-pneumo- nia cattle district in the east, from the con- vention of veterinarians at Baltimore and from their personal visit to Washington. Dr. Gerth, in conversation regarding their trip, said one of their experiences was that of be- ing snowbound i the city of Newark, N. J., for three dflf{u, it being impossible to get away by rail in any dircction or to even get about the city during that time. The snow, he said, exceeded anything he had experienced in the west and was a genu- ine blizzard accompanied by an unprecedented snowfall, ‘While in Washington Dr. Gerth and Mr. Abbey interviewed the Nebraska delegation regarding the changes in the bureau of ani- mal industries proposed by the Palmer bill, now peading in both houses. The entire Ne- ‘braska live stock commission are in favor of the present bureau, and Congressmen Dorsey and Laird and Senator Paddock expressed themselves in like mann while Senator Manderson and Congressn MecShane wero « rather favorable to the Palmer bill. The lat- has, however, been amended so that its passage will not materially change the pres- ent method of procedure in handling antmal diseases except in its creating a fow addi- tional places to be filled. The convention at Baltimore is reported by Dr. Gerth as one of the most successful gatherings of veterinari- ans of the United states ever held and the jmportant question of pleuro-pneumonia was treated fully by the gathering. THE STORM. One of the worst storms of the winter has prevailed for tho past twenty-four hours, and everything from the ground up is beavily coated with ice. In a number of places in the city the telephone wires have succumbed and shado and fruit trees have been broken with the weight of the ice that has accumu- lated. Reports at railroad headquarters are in effect thut tho storm has been widespread, extending westward as far as the Republican vnlktay and to Broken Bow toward the north- west. anour The clry, A change of time has gone into effect on the Elkhorn road by which the train formerly leaving for Chicago at noon is discontinued, the regular Chicago train over that road now leaving at 6:55 in the morning, touening also at Omaha, ‘Augustus Saunders has filed his petition in the distriet court in which he sues O. M. Druse, T. M. Lowery, John Maule, George T. Quick and Jennie Wilson for $10,000 dam- ages. The allegations in the petition recite that the above named partics entered into a conspiracy to defraud, blackmail and extort from him $2,150, clamming that he was in- debted in that amount to George Quick, and believing that he would pay it over rather than have a law suit. Saunders claims that Le is not ndebted to Quick in any sum and Drings this case for damages. A large number of s in the city schools and teachers also in Lancaster county Are arranging to attend the meetng of the Btate Teachors' association at Fremont the f;nwnl weok. The roads make special rates the association and furnish a special car for this point. = Robert Dove, & B. & M. switchman at this place, who slugged a fellow man in an unprovoked mannex, has been given a hear- iu police Gourt.

Graud botel, pointing in the: direction of a quiet looking, plainly dressed man, who nervously paced in the hotel cotridor. “Everything that man touches seems to turn into a good thing. “His name is Arthur -Jerkins,” the Syracuse man wont on, “and he struck our town from out west somewhere a few years ago, with 50c in a pocket and a fortune in a lightning-like faculty for picking up type as a_compositor in his fingers. He invested the 50c in_a bath, then set up enough type-on the Journal, the regulation old republican organ of Syracuse, to pay for his breakfast. Now he'’s worth a wad, and has the reputa- tion of being the brightest business man in our burg.’” How did he make his fortune?” the reporter inquired. “Well, he got cases on the Journal first, and made the fus fly as a lightning compositog for awhile. 13 offended at something C the editor of the Journal, did, and, hav- ing acquired considerable houschold property in the few months he had been at work on the case, ha vowed venge- ance, mortgaging his eXects for some- thing less than $300, and forthwith is- sued the first copy of the Syracuse Even- ing Hesald. The paper was a ‘go’ from the first, and is now run by a big com- pany, of which Jenkins is the presi- dent. “‘But there was one drawback. The Journal had the Associated press fran- chise, and all the dispatches Jenking could get for the paper were those of an association long defunct—a very poor servico, Suddenly one day—in 82 I think it was—he concluded something must be done, and sent outan invitation to a number of papers that could not get tho Associated press dispatches to meet in Syracuse and consider a scheme for improving their telegraphic service. Out of that meeting grew the United press association, of which Mr. Jenkins was the first manager, now one of its di- rectors. He's a corker, is that man.” RPN IN A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD.

New York Mail and Express: Con- sideraple interest was manifested the other ni‘%hb in a theater box, in which appeared a bonnet. It was a pretty bon- net of cream plush with loops of cream moire ribbon and with a brim of white ostrich feather trimming. The lorg nettes were not leveled on these feat- ures, however, but on a white aigrette trembling above it, which sparkled as if mounted with diamonds. At times the attention of a good part of the audience was diverted from the stage and M Terry missed recognition for one or two of her best moments in Marguerite, in the general interest in the question of the genuineness of those stones. The bonnet was waylaid when was over, scurtinizedfby some scores eyes from mnear vantage ground and watched till it disappeared in a car- riage. Inquiry disclosed the fact that it belonged to a young Chicago million- airess, a widow, and the verdict was reached that the high-water mark of extravagance in millinery had been reached in a bit of headgear which car- ried some hundreds of dollars’ worth of small but very clear and white dial monds. Mrs. Frank Leslie had been supposed up to date to wear the costliest bonnet in the city, a little black lace af- fair of hers being thrust through and fastened by a silver dagger curiously wrought and set with tiny rubies an diamonds. Bernhardt has been seen in New York with emerald ornaments on her bonnet, and Mrs, Abbey has worn something 1n black net set with tiny drops of gold, Kitty Cheatham, Pau- line Hall’s understudy in Ermine, is something of a bonnet artist, though she does not aspire us yet to wear a for- tune on her head.

The House Committee Reports Fa- vorably on the Farquahar Bill THE TOURIST'S OHAMPION, She Drained His Pilé—A Pecullar Ac- cident to a Salesman—An Import- ant Decision—Omaha Sunday Guests—Samphes. The Tourist's Rustic Maiden, Merchant Traveler, She was then a rustic maiden, “hoeks with rudy beauty laden Eyes that flashed with nature's brightness, Feot that tripped with dainty lightness, How he stood in adoration, Dazzled by the contemplation Of her happy, winning smile, As he helped her o'er the stile. Ah! what truth, and what a pity Married life within the city Soon dispelled sweet nature's graces, Bringing bonnets rich and laces. How o'er bills and sales he worried. How he fretted, how he hurried How of cash sho drained his pile As he helped heg o'er the stile. The Drummers' Bill, The house committee to whom was re- ferred the drummers’ bill introduced by John M. Farquhar has reported favorably on the same, attuching also an amendment. The bill as amended is as follows: Be it enacted by the senate and house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assembled : That residonts of- each state and territory may, within the other states and territorics and within the District of Columbia, solicit from dealers or merchants orders for goods and merchandise by sample, catalogue, card, price list, description or other representa- tion, without payment of any license of mer- cantile tax. The provisions of this act shall apply to nurserymen, who shall be author- ized to sell goods by sample or catalogue to persons in other states than that of which thoy are citizens. It is stated by those in position to give a liable opinion that this bill will become a law. The act does not affect the peddlers. Tt rolates only to men who sell goods by sample or catalogue. The Tourists' Champion. Hon. John M. Farquhar, who has intro- duced the “‘drummer bill” in congress, has an excellent opinion of traveling salesmen, In a recent interview regarding the commer- cial travelers Mr, Farqubar said: ‘““These men are among the leading busi- ness men of the United States. They are bright, active, honest and able men, aud the traveling salesman of to-day is far different from the drummer of the past. He is now rather the confidential agent of tho firm, and you will find nowhere a more intelligent and able set of men than the traveling salesmen. They cover the whole country in their jour- neys, and the lowest salaries they receive are §1,200 a year and expenses. An average salesman of this kind will not pull on his gaiters for less than $2,000 a year, and many of them make §5,000, $6,000, 7,000 and $3,0 and sometimes more, per annum. Many of them do business on’ commission, and they are in o measure the missionaries of civiliza- tion. They carry the latest in politics, music, fashion and business in the backwoods parts of the country. They are keen judges of human nature, and they are as good all- around men as you will find in the country. They have now au organization known as the Travelers’ Protective association, the head of which i8 Mr* O. P. Pindell, of Zenia, O. and whose membors cover the whole United States. This association is organized to pro- mote the social, personal and business inter- ests of commercial travelers. It bas divi- sions and posts, and in its combinations it re- duces the price of railroad fare to its mem- bers and promotes their business. A divi- sion may take up several states. A post is usually a city or small district. The associ- ation comprises all classes of commercial travelers who take orders for goods as such, and it has done a great doal to push trade in tho new parts of the country. It has largely aided in opening up the south to trade, and it has been a great benefit to the commercial world.” A Peculiar Accident. Barton M. Mills, a traveling salesman in the employ of Johnson, Reeves & Co., of Lynn, Mass., met with a peculiar and painful accident Wednesday morning at the B. & M. depot. Mr. Mills alighted from a carriage at the entrance and proceeded to walk around the depot to go to the baggage room. Just as he reached the southwest corner something struck him fairly in the eye. The shock knocked him down and the strange thing about it is that the cause of the mishap was an English sparrow. The bill of the bird penetrated the eyeball and the unfortunate man will loose the _eye. Only one bystander can give anything like an_explanation of this curious accident. Ho stated that ho noticed two sparrows fighting on the north side of the depot. Finally one of them managed to get away, and turned to the northwest corner, pursued by its enemy. The bird that struck r. Mills was picked up dead, and one of its eyes was closed, so it is evident that it did mml léw the gentleman, as he was close to the wall. rried into an adjacent drug an_was summoned. Tho doctor advised his removal to a hotel, and Mr. Mills was taken, by his own request, to a friend’s house on Nincteenth street. At last accounts Mr. Mills was resting casy, An Important Decision. In the circuit court in the city of St. Louis last week,.Judge L. B. Vallient rendered a decision of considerable interest to commer- cial travelers. In this case, a suit on a board bill by attachment, the defendant brought up the question of residence, claiming that ho was @ citizen of Missouri. In rendering judgment for the plaintiff on a plea in abate- ment the court said: There isno evidence in this case to sup- port any of the grounds of attachment, ex- cept that of non-residouce of the defendant. In this restless, traveling age, when so many men are engaged in the different kinds of business which keep them moving from lace to place it is often a dificult question to ccido as to where is a man's legal residence. The difficulty is increased by the law of the case, which enablos the citizen of one state to change his eitizenship to another state with great facility and reduces the question to onenot 8o much of actual or physical residence as of intention of the party himself, A citizen of this state may go away and re- main for years without losing any’ right of citizonship if all the time his intention is to return, and If in the meantime he does noth- ing to make him a citizen of another state, And, on the other hand, if he makes up his mind to give up his citizenship here and be- come & citizen of another state, the moment !IU starts from here to carry that intention into effect, even before hie In fact reaches the other state, he becomes a cltizen of that state and loses his citizenship here. Of course there are some prerogatives which are oon- ferred on a citizen only after he has contin- ued 1o be such for a certain length of timo, but his legal status as a citizen may be es- tablished as above stated. This question of intention is one of fact to be decided vnder the evidence as to ail the circumstauces of the case, including acts and declarations ac- companying them, The domicile of a minor's parerits may bo considered his domieile until he is of age ,and affer that until he does some act himself to change it. The defendant was born in Vermont and raised in Lynn, Mass., where he lived with his parents until he was grown, or nearly so, and came to St. Louls under contract. Whilst it appears that he has for several years past ut the most of his time in St. Louis, yet it 0 appears from the evidence that his em- ployment causes bim to send a considerable share of his time travelng in other eities; it does not appear that he has spent any more of his time bore than his employment reas- onably required. He has not even registered as a voter or undertaken to exercise privilege of citizenship here, The only dence of his citizenship here is the fact that he has spent the most of his time here for several years past fn conformity to ‘his con- tract with his employer. On tie other hand the evidence shows that he has always spoken of Lynn, Mass., as his honie, and this he did in' conversation with the plaintiff and members of her family apd inti- mate friénds of thelrs. When here he mar- ried & St. Louis lady and @s s00n 48 his busi- ness !nngiwmmh would permit ho took her to Lynn, Mass., as he now says, to visit his mother, but as he then said, to carry her home. Assuming that 0 defendant was a citizon of Massachusette dwhen he came here, whiat has he done sincets manifost an_inten- tion of surrendering his eitizonship there and asstiming it here! Suppose he was before a court of Massachusetts, claiming to be A citi- zen of that state, would there be any doubt, on the evidence adduced, that he would be there adjudged entitlod to oitizenshipt T think not. . he fach 1%, ‘s T have no doubt from the evidence, that this sabject of citi- aonship or leeal residence is one that the defendnnt has nover given any serious thought to until the #nit was brought. A change of citizenship from one state to an- other cannot be_offectegl without the forma- tion in the mind of a positive intention to do 80, and that intention manifested by some act.

The discovery of this forgotten exit served to remind an old guide who has piloted sightseers about the capitol for a quarter ofa century of an incident which recalls vivididly the romance of Tady Ginerva, the mistletoe bough, and the great oaken chest. Before the in- vention of the electric light the greaf circles of burners about the galleries of the dome and the clusters about the senate and house skylights were ignited by an_ electric current that flashed through a series of wires leading from en enormous battery. This battery was located in the round top above the well and lined its cylindrical walls with great generating-jars. One wintry afternoon, but a few min- utes before the hour set for the closing of the dome stairway, this guide began the long ascent, piloting one of the numberless bridal couples that every season make Washington a Mecca. The young man was an enthusiastic sight- seer, and as the guide pointed out the interesting features of the ascent he suffered his bride’s hand to slip from his arm and pressed on several paces ahead, until a sudden turn_in the stairs hid him from her view. Piqued at his desertion of her, she toiled up the stairs alone until her eyes fell upon a door standing ajar at the head of a short short flight of steps leading off to the right. In aspirit of mischief she ran up these steps, pushed open the door, and entercd the electrical laboratory, resolved to hide from her husband, Hardly a rayof light penetrated the glow of the chamber, but for a_moment curiosity overcame her, until witha bang astrong draft swung the heavy on door shut with a loud click of the spring lock. For a moment she was dazed, and then, realizing that she was shut in, sprang to the door and en- deavored toopen it, beating upon its hard snrface with her little hands and erying loudly for help. Many minutes, that seemed to her hours she tugged at the heavy fastening of the door and called vainly to her hus- band for assistance, ‘~Help me, Albert, help me!” sne cried, but her voice hardly penetrated the stout door,and echoed mournfully in the vaulted re- cesses above her. ~ She pressed her car against the cold ivon of the great lock and her heart almost stopped its beat- ing as she listened intently for ap- proaching footsteps. Once or twice she hen footfalls echoing down the iron stairway, but though she cried aloud for help they passed on and were lost in the depth below. Then 'she sprang np and ran aimlessly about the chamber. On all sides dark passages led her into narrow winding recesses that stopped in thick dead walls, Fin- ally tired out she found her way back to thé door through which she had en- tered, and fell fainting against it. In the meantime hef husband, who id not for several minutes obeserve that she was not following, had elimbed far above the labratory. Then calling to her and receiving no reply, he hur- riedly retraced his footsteps, expecting to find her hiding behind each angle of the descent. Becoming thoroughly alarmed be called her lougly by name: “Annie, Annie, where are you?” The echo of his voice alone responded, and crazed with fear he rushed up and down the stairway shouting wildly for help to find his wife. The guide endeavored to calm him, but brenking away from him he ran down the stairs to a sudden turn in the flight, loft his balance, and fell over the rail, a distance of thirty feet to the roof below. The guide climbed quickly down after him and found him stunned by the fall. Sommoning assist- ance he bore the insensible man to a carriage and drove him to his hotel, where he laid insensible for hours. Believing that the injured man’s wife must have found her way out of the building, the search for her was aban- doned. At about 9 o'clock that night the ele: ian of the capitol had occa- sion to yisit the laboratory. Fitting the key in the door, he pushed 1t open and wals astonished to fiad & woman \ylug on the floor apparently dead. Raising her carefully, he bore her to the office of the captain of the watch, where she was speedily resuscitated. Though suffering greatly from the shock of her fright,her sole anxiety was for her husband, and entering a carrviage she was rapidly driven to the hotel just in time to fall into his arms.as he recovered conscious- SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE APRIL IS NOW READY. —— The freshness, the modernity of this maga zine, the youthful strength _and buoyance of 1ts pages are always noticable. . . .
