City Physiclan Macrae reported last even- ing that ticre were two new cases of small- pox, making four patients now down with the disease. They are Mrs. Bennett, Mrs. Hoffman and her child and a boy living in one of the quarantined houses whose name is unknown. The older Mrs. Bennett is also ill with what may prove to be smalipox in the course of a day or two. All the vatients s0 far are in the three quarantined houses at the corner of Avenue G and Tenth street and the strictness with which the watch has been kept will in all probability keep the discase confined there It will not be surprising if the disease makes almost a complete round of the nineteen persons under quarantine, for they have all been more or less careless in obeying the city physician's orders and have exposed themselves to the disease more than was necessary.

This week will be an important one po- litically, for before it ends¥both the repub- lican and democratic parties will have put their tickets into the field, and the cam- paign, which up to this time has been carried on in a sly way by most of the multitude of patriots who are yearning for a chance to serve their country, will be transformed into a hot and active battle. The word multitude is used advisedly in speaking of the political aspirants, for there have been few years when candidates and people who are *‘men- tioned,” cither by themselves or their friends as possible candidates, were more numerous. The list of runners in the race for nomina- ation for the mayoralty has steadily dwin- dled of late. A week or 0 ago the names of Peter Smith and J. H. Cleaver were named as candidutes on the republican side, and V. Jennings, Dr. Macrae, T. E. Casady and John P. Weaver on the democratic. Of late all but Dr. Macrae of the democratic candidates have fallen by-the wayside, and it is re- garded as pretty definitely settled that he will lead the democrats in the coming elec- tion. Smith and Cleaver are both still talked of by the republicans, but if any one knows which of them has the inside track he won't tell. The probability is that he doesn’t know. The office of marshal, with its salary of $200 and a chance to sue for anywhere from $2,00 to $4,000 more per annum, is an_ attractive chromo in the eyes of poli- ticians, and the lists are full. Ed Canning, Frank Fowler and J. M. Scanlan are said to have the best chance for the republican nomination, but when it comes to dividing even the best chance up into three parts there isn't much left for each individual and each of the gentlemen named would trade his chance for a certainty and pay liberally to boot. W. D. Hardin is regarded as the most promising candidate the demo- crats have, although Frank Guanella has a large following. J. L. Templeton, who has held the office for two terms aiready, has many friends who would like to see him retained another two years, but-he has kept the rest of the faithful away so long that they are becoming very hungry and yearn for a chance. So Templeton has made preparations to decamp, and has even gone 0 far as to give one of his deputies per- mission to take a month’s hunting trip in the wilds of Nebraska, beginning March 15, R.-V. Innes, A. J. Stephenson, J. A. Gor- ham and . J. Abbott are the republican can- didates for city treasurer, and it is hard"to say which of them has the larger following F. T. True is the only democratic candidate that has so far come to light. George Gould is a candidate for renomination for the office of auditor, while A. V. Weisinger and G. M Wilson and Willlam Larson are named by their democratic friends. Judge McGee will undoubtedly be his own successor on the superior bench. The demo- crats waited to name the day for holding their convention until the republicans had named theirs, and then put it immediately before the republicans, in order that they might not have to endorse the republican nominee, who would in all probability have been McGee. Now that the democrats will have the first chance to nominate McGee, there seems to be some uncertainty as to whether the republicans will put up any one in opposition to him. A. S. Hazelton and C. G. Saunders are mentioned in connection with the office, but It is understood that neither of them s anxious for the howor of a nomination against McGee. There is no dearth of candidates for city attor G. W. Hewitt, John Lindt and J B. \\\\fl are said to be after the office on the republican side of the house, and W. H. Ware, E. E. Aylesworth, George Holmes Emmet Tinley and Frank Trimble on the democratic. It should be sald in justice to Mr. Trimble that he has denied the soft im- peachment in his own case, but if any of the others have, they havent done it loud enough to be heard E. E. Cook s a candidate for city engi neer on the republicain side and Thomas Tostovin and Sam Etnyre on the democratic. August Paris, Dave Mottaz and Oscar Hen- sel would like to be welghmaster and W. D. Hardin is a candidate for assessor The crop of aldermanic candidates bas not N NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS | met with a failure this winter, either. In the First ward there are E. C. Baldy, W. M Squire, W. H. Bradley and Vic Jennings. In the Second there are Rus Whittlesey, W. F. Baker while in the Fifth there are Dell G Chris Bosen and Henry Knepher Morgan T. A. Brewick, W. W. Cones and Ovide Vien. The above are not all, but they are enough » show that any one who aspires to any office will find some in the field ahead of him, and neither party will have any soft snap in undertaking to make up a slat which will give each office to one man an not offend any of his opponents. One thing about the campaign which has at- tracted some attention aud excited consider- able comment is the fact that so far the Five-Cent Fare clubs have taken no part in the outward maneuvers of either party By some this is taken as an indication that the clubs have laid down: and will not do anything further. By others, however, it is sald that the clubs are in the fleld and the marks of their fine italian hand will be seen in the conventi Ask your grocer for Domestic soap.

It is stated that the singer had been hampered by instructions as to the character of the piece she should sing, and the selection itself was not admired by many of the audience, for it did not give her a chance to exhibit her wonderful vocal powers. Mme. Van Arnheim’s singing shows the result of long and continued study, and the people of Council Blufts would un- doubtedly be glad of an opportunity of hear- ing her under more favorable conditions.

The Idiotic Stare, the Walking Stick, Even- ing Tie and Nonchalance. It is said on the authority of the New K Sun that the Jdiotic stare is still in favor among the exotic youth of swelldom. and any/fashion- young man who cannot learn how to ct ¢ atom of e «fon from the cq nance k on vacancy with the expr of imbecility cannot belgig to the gelect cot or_hald rank in the inner circles of Gotham. There are other important matters which must be carcfully commitied If one desires to be in the ‘Van of fashion. The first of these relates to the walking stick, and this involves perhapd the most_ serious responsibility. the 'stick must b left at home When Kuing to business, to church or to make calls. The reason of the latter by- law is that in the language of the stick, to call upon @ youns lady while carrying a cane, implies that the caller is on sufficlently intimate terms 1o look in on her casually any time. What finer subtlety than this is to be found In the in- tricacies of feminine etiquette! Then there is a fixed and immutable law gov- erning the carrying of the cane. The correct style is to hold it at an angle of forty-five de- grees, with the ferrule uppermost and forward Of course. this is the sort of think no man could possibly discover for himself, for the unsophisti- cated woul naturally carry his stick with the point o the ground and in =0 doing stand re- Vealed as uninitiated in the supreme refinement of_etiquet No man with a particle of self.

The steamer Topeka, just arrived from Alaska, brings news of a $10.000 robbery, which, It is claimed, has taken place on Douglas island recently, the Treadwell Min- ing company being the victim, says a Port Townsend dispatch to the Denver Times. The story is that the robbery consisted in the filching of crude gold from the vats of the chlorination works of the mining com- pany, and that the value of the metal lost was between $10,000 and $12,000. It is said that, as customary, the water was turned on in the vat so that the gold might separate from the quicksilver and refuse on Janu- ary 17. The following morning it was dis- covered that the water had been turned off and that the vat was empty. The affair is shrouded in considerable mys- tery and there was an evident desire on the part of the officers of the mining company and its employes to keep it dark, but the matter leaked out from the fact that men were on hand who searched every piece of baggage that came aboard the Topeka at Douglas island. This was done without war- rant or authority of any kind, beyond the direction of the offeers of the mining com- pect would tie th up & new ing in Londan pany. Besides searching the baggage of the passengers the ship itself was searched and every assistance extended by its of- ficers to throw some light on the case. Min- ing men here do not take much stock in the robbery theory. They say it would have been impossible for such a thing to have taken place. In order to get such amount of gold out of one of the vats, they say it would have been necessary to carry away six tons of metal to be sorted over and such a thing would be a physical impossi- bility, inasmuch as there are watchmen on hand. It is considered much more likely that the gold was lost through some sort of carelessness or negligence on the part of the employes of the mining company, and that the robbery theory has been ad- vanced for special motives. The superintendent of the mine has sent to San Francisco for detectives to take the case in charge. = T Great Guns. A test of the biggest gun in the navy is s0on to be made by the government. The base of the gun Is thirteen inches in diam- eter and carries & projectile welghing 1,100 pounds. The 550 pounds of powder neces- sary to give it impetus will, it is estimated, carry the projectile 2,000 feet a s=cond. The force at the muzzle will be sufficient to move 40,000 tons one foot. To be accepted by the government the gun must penetrate at 1,000 yards distance twenty-five feet of solid steel. If such guns can be aimed and fired with accuracy they would be the most effective coast defense yet concelve No armor could repel them. The most formid- able vessel afioat would go down under their fire. By reason of their long distance capacity not many of such guns would be needed to protect the entire coast line of the United States. ——— Engineer Was Killed.

D., Feb. 11.—(Special to The Bee)—"Anything for human rights Is constitutional,” retorted Charles Sumner in the United States senate when one of his anti-slavery proposals was characterized as view of the events of the past few weeks. The story may be briefly told as follow A corporation calling itself the Thunderer 14 and Silver Mining company (limited) began operations in the t about eight miles northwest of Deadweod It bought the Keystone chlorination works, which had for some years been idle, Garden City distri and a number of quartz claims in that vicinity After a reorganization of the company and a change in its name to the f: of the South Dakota Mining compagy, it began the con- struction of a ditch with which to convoy water to its property from Annie creek, five miles away It was estimated that it would cost $50,000 to cc lh s work. The com- ) per day and hoard The stipulation was that wages should be paid only for time actually put in, but that the men should not be charged for thelr hourd on days when the weather should prevent them working. As the work was being done in midwinter in a mountain country where the snowfall was-eften as great three feet, this last stipuiation was distinctly in the 'laborers’ favor. After a few weeks | work the company gave notice that the method of payment would be changed and that the scale thereafter would be $1.75 per day, and that a charge of $4.50 per week would be made for board. ~The men ob- jected to the change in scale and sent a delegation to Lead to ask the aid of the miners union of that city. After inves- tigation the union concluded that the case would properly come under its jurisdiction— the work under dispute being mostly rock work—and word was sent to the South Dakota company's employes that they would be supported in striking. This news decided the dissatisfied men and they at once quit work, and began building a house in the woods and preparing to go into winter quarters. Supplies of food were for- warded to them by the Knights of Labor of Deadwood, and the miners unions of Lead City and Central City. Al this took place in De, January 9 a messenger from the st camp arrived in Lead City with tidings that the South Dakota company had resumed work with about seventy-five men, part of them from Deadwood and part from eastern points. . Word was at once sent to the labor organizations, six in num- ber, which had combined to support the strikers, and the same afternoon meetings were held by all of them. The result of their deliberations ‘was first made known to the general public by their acts the next day. Early on the motning, of January 10 the Knights of Labor of Deadwood met at their hall, and from thére marched to Central City, one and a half miles distant. }ere they were joined byithe Central City Miners union and’ the march was resumed. At & point half a mile further on the minicture army was again strepgthened, tiiis time by members of the Lead City Miners union. The next stage of the journey was to Bald mountain. about four miles away, where the number of marchers was fncreased to about 250, TRAMPED THROUGH SNOW. From Bald mountain to Annie creek, where the cause of all the excitement was fc be found, the route lay through a rough, wooded country with the snow a foor and a half deep. Shortly before the destinaticn was reached a stop was made, a spokesman selected, and then the rush for the possession of the ditch was made. The new employes were busily at work, with the manager and attorney for the compamy standing between them and the approaching invaders. The leader of the latter, who, by the way, was for several terms a_member of the common council of Lead City, at- tempted to stop his men and bold a con- sultation with the officials before Lim. In telling the story to The Bee correspondent he said: “‘But you might as weil iave fried to stop ome of those Nebrasa cyclor- amusses.” The rear juard crowded the leaders and the mining company cficials over the edge into the ditch, aal in less time than it takes to tell the story the work had been stopped and tha friends of the strikers were in undispi'ed possession. About this time Sheriff Remer of Law- rence county arrived on the scene. Ho had tried to get there sooner, but th: road through the timber was narrow, and he had been unable to drive past the “tired- out” ones of the expedition who had refused to turn out for him. The sheriff, at the request of the invaders disarmed a couple of the employes of thg company and then arranged a consultatiol between the contending forces. This resulted in nothing, however, and about 4 o'clock the line was formed for the march through the snow back to Lead City. First came a part of the Invading force, then tlie laborers who had been taken off the work, and in the rear the balance of the victors. Lead City was reached about 8 o'clock, the prisoners started down the road toward Deadwood, and ranks were broken by the men who' had marched a distance of not less than twenty-five miles through deep snow since their start In the morning. The next evening the Deadwood Merchants association met and denvunced the action of the miners. The Times a'd Pioneer, dally papers of this city, ~ommended their action. The business men of Central City sided with the miners, and propysed that the county seat be removed from Deadwood to soue other town. The miners jumped ut the idea. | A boycott agamst almosc cverr hasiness | man of Deadwnid was declarel, end the | movement for county seat removal is pro- | gressing merrily.

Deadwood people are resting the hope of success on ithe belief that a two- thirds vote will be necessary to move the county capital. This ds disputed have to be decided in court finally. In the meantime the South Dakota Mining company has suspended operations entirely The prosecution of -the. raiders has been abandoned, In fact it was never begun, and It may be expected that Dothing further will come of it, No one was injured in the raid, and the only display of arms was by the employes of the company disarmed by | the sheriff. and may The strikers' cause has been espoused since the begiuning by the populist daily published at Deadwood, and, through the ! columns of the papers of the county, the | fight will be waged from now on. e Hus Arranged for a Conference, TAHLEQUAH, L T., Feb. 10.—Chief Har- ris of the Cherokee tribe has returned here, bhaving made a thorough canvass of the five civilized tribes of the Indian territory.
