smallpox through that rind of yours."
The officer made a few false moves to
ward the front door, but was a little too
strong fo: tbo Job. Finally ho withdrew
to a safe distance and shouted for McfJowan
to open the door. Orasplng the faucet
the policeman took good aim at the opui
door and landed the flxturo In the wntcr
soaked house In spite of shouts of "Glaus
arm!" which fell on his ear.
"Uravol Uravo!" camo from a chorus of
trained voices. "Speech!"
In a few minutes the little river of water
ceased to flow and the policemen ognln
sought their well-worn paths In the snow.
A smallpox patient, n quarantined fam
ily, three policemen, a broken water faucet1
and somo Journeymen plumbers wero fac
tors In an exciting scene at 010 North Six
teenth street yesterdny afternoon.
Tho house situated at this number Is n
one-story frame structure, much tho worse
for age. For years it has dono service as
a boarding house. A new guest from Chi
cago, William McOowan, brought smallpox
to tho dilapidated house and two faithful
biuccoats woro paths In tho snow as they
wnlked back and forth to keep the Infected
boarders from escaping.
Hut smallpox was not the only misfor
tune that was visited upon the Ill-fated
household. Tho plumbing shared the gen
eral dilapidation of the house and a broken
faucet showered tho place with Ice-cold
water. The Inmates attempted to tell the
policeman what had happened, but wero
ordered to shut tho doors.
"You'vo got enough groceries to last you
for three days nnd wo can't give you any
bigger allowance of whisky," was tho reply
the officers, who wero veterans In guard
ing smallpox and had heard before of the
great medicinal value which attaches to
good brands of liquor uudcr certain condl
tlons. Pedestrians who ventured near tho
house before noticing the smallpox sign
saw the lmprlsoneed family standing on
tables and chairs and beckoning to tho of
ficers, whoso answers to all Inquiries were
"Smallpox patients nro always out of
their heads You can't tell what they'll do
next. They'ro llablo to get on top of the
house if we'll only let them."
Ani If Is probable that tho family would
havo been on top of the house If thero had
been any means of getting there. Tho
water deepened on tho floors and as the
furniture began to floaut around the police
men withdrew n llttlti further and paid no
attention to thu demands of the flooded
household.

Water poured out beneath the front door
nnd rushed down to the paving In a tell-
talo stream which prompted somebody to
turn In a (Ire alarm. It was n plumber nnd
not tho Hro department that wns wanted,
nnd that fact was finally communicated to
tho officers.
"Send n plumber to 010 North Sixteenth
street nnd have him put a new faucet on

tho commonplaco order received by tele

Thero Is liable to be considerable conten
tion over the election of councllmen when
tho new charter goes Into effect. Tho ar
rangement, according to the new charter
Is for tho election of six councllmen nt
large. Tho republicans object to this on
the ground that such a section will virtually
turn tho city over to the democrats. Past
records, however, disapprove this assertion.
Commencing with the spring of 1S99, when
W. O. Sloane was mevor, tho city council
was composed of eight democrats, four
elected at large and ono from each ward.
In 1S91, two of tho democrats gave way
to republicans, and In 1S92, when Miller
was mayor, thero were five republicans In
tho council. Two years Inter, under Mayor
Walker, the republican membership re
mained tho same. In 1S94, when Johnstou
was mayor, tho council was composed of
six democrats nud two republicans. This
samo ratio continued through Johnston's
term. During Mnyor Knsor's first term,
five republicans occupied scats lu the coun
cil, nnd In 1897 there were seven republi
cans. In lS'.'S the republican majority
