Joseph Ferguon, an Intnato of the quar
antined Atlantic houso on South Main
street, wus removed yesterday afternoon to
the city penthouse, suffering from small
pox. This makes the llftll caso of smallpox
removed to tho posthouso from tho Atlan
tic houso since the latter was placed under
quarantine on Sunday, January 13. John
Trainman, the 12-year-old sou of tho pro
prietor of the hotel, was also found to bo
suffering from tho dltensc yesterday, hut
was not removed to tho pesthouse, as nn
other child of the family, a llttlo girl, is
also sick with what Is thought to be small
pox. Stao could not be taken to tho pest
bounc, so tho city physician decided It
would bo best to allow the boy to remain
there also, This will necessitate tho houso
being kept under qiiarnntlno for n period
of forty days dating from yesterday.
Tho conditions provnlllng at tho Atlantic
houso are so serious that Mayor Jennings
nnd tho city health authorities tamo to the
conclusion yesterday that they hud a most
dllllcult problem to deal with. In addition
to tho tncmbors of the Trautmnn family
there arc eleven men In the house. Tho boy
who wns found to bo suffering with tho
disease yesterday has been sick aovoral
days. City Physician Jennings said yester
day it would be useless to nttempt to dis
infect tho place nt present, and that tho only
thing to do was to keep tho Inmates Insldo
and allow tho disease to wear out.
The Atlantic houso has been quarantined
since Jnnuary 1.1. Two guards have to bo
kept constantly on duty during tho daytlmo
nnd two nt night. This means an expense
of $8 a dny to the city, which up to this
has been paid out of the police fund. Tho
county Is supplying the Inmates with
means of subsistence and this means an ex
pense of $10 a day.
There uro now five nmnllpox patients and
tho nurso at tho pesthouse, which contains
but four rooms. In tho event of any more
cases developing the city will either have
to sccuro another building or else quarnn
lino the pntlcnts at their own homes.
Tho police were notified about 3 o'clock
yesterday nftcrnoon thut a man with his
face broken out and who wns believed to
have smallpox was walking tho streets.
Chief Albro and tho city physician at once
started In quest of the fellow, hut before
they could locate him he had boarded n car
for Omaha nt llroadway and Fourteenth
street. Tho authorities nt Omuhii were
notified and tho car on which tho man was
said to have ridden was ordered by tho
health board taken off the run and disin
fected. Conductor Pfclffcr said he remembered the
man boarding his car nt llroadway and
Fourteenth street and had noticed that his
face was broken out, but had no suspicion
that it wns a case of smallpox. He said tho
fellow did not enter the car, but remained
on the roar platform until he reached the
other sldo of the river, when ho got off.

Dividend i:peeted Spceilllj,
Creditors of Officer & Pnsey nro congratu
lating themselves over the prospect of a
speedy payment of a dividend by the re
ceivers. Tho lntervcnor3 In tho Dny & Hess
nnd J. K. Cooper cases yesterday filed with
Judgo Thorncll a waiver of their statutory
right to appeal from his decision denying
their claims preference. This waiver Is
from nil tho creditors who wero interested
In tho Day & Hess petition of Intervention.
In waiving their right to appeal tho Inter
venors requested Judgo Thornell to order a
distribution of tho funds now In the hands
of tho receivers as provided by Inw, and In
consideration of tho right of appeal being
waived to order thnt the costs In tho peti
tion of the Intervention case bo paid by tho
receivers out of the general funds In their
hands.
Judgo Thornell accepted this stipulation
and ordered tho receivers to pay tho costs
of tho case, which amount to $150. This
docs not include attorney fees, which will
bo paid by both sides.
It Is understood that as soon as Receiver
Murphy hies the report cnlled for by Judge
Thornoll tho latter will order thnt a divi
dend of 25. per cent bo nt onco paid by tho
receivers. The receivers hno $200,000 In
cash and this will sufllco to pay such n divi
dend after holding out enough to pay the
claims which have been allowed preference.
Protests unlnst AsHossnionts.
F. C. Glass nnd .1. J. Steadmnn have filed
with tho city clerk protests against the as
sessment for tho paving of Iiroadwny be
tween Twelfth strcot nnd tho bridge over
Indian creek.
Gluss claims to own fifteen feet of four
lots In Rohrer's sub-dlvlsion. abutting on
llroadway, nnd Steadman Is tho owner of
tho balance of the lots. The city council
In fixing the assessment for the pnvlng Ig-
I nored Glass' reputed ownership of the fif
teen feet on the grounds that tho sale of
this much of the lots had been mado by
Steadmnn to avoid tho assessment for the
pnxement.
Glnss In his protest alleges that tho as
sessment Is excessive nnd Steadman In his
alleges thnt tho elghty-llvo of tho lots In
question derives no benefit from tho Im
provement, as his portion of the property
does not abut on tho street. It also con
tended that the city council In assessing
tho cost of the curbing took Into account
Glass' reputed ownership of tho fifteen feet
nnd that II cannot now adopt another
method of assessing for the paving.

DKS MOINKS, Feb. 1. (Special.) Tho
announcement "f the Iowa supreme court
that tho Titus amendment providing for bi
ennial elections In town was not properly
placed before the people for adoption enmo
as a distinct shock to tho people of tho
slate, notwithstanding that public senti
ment was divided on the question of tho
wisdom of tho measure nnd good lawyers
disagreed on tho law polntx
The supremo tourt sustains Judgo Dowoy
In the Washington county test ease and de
cides the nmendment to bo not a part of
the constitution. Tho line of reasoning
follows closely ihe decision In tin celebrated
prohibitory amendment case. In which it
was decided that tho plan of putting nn
amendment to the constitution beforo the
pcoplo must be followed literally nnd ex
actly, nnd nny defect therein would Invali
date It.
This loaves the state right whero It was
beforo tho amendment was proposed. It
causes Instant revolution In the political
situation In tho state. With tho amendment
declared valid the year would be a dull one
In lown, for It would be tho first year since
statehood without n state election or a
county election. Hut the decision means thnt
there will be n state election this year to
elect governor, lieutenant governor, super
intendent of public Instruction, one railroad
commlsslouor nnd one member of the su
premo court: also to elect n now legislature,
Including nil tho representatives nnd half
the senators, nnd In every county about
half tho county officers.
Menus I'ulltlt-nl Activity.
Up lo tho present time It has been either
nccopled that there would be no election
this year or n disposition has been shown
nt least to hold off until tho nmendment was
passed upon. All the political discussion to
tho present tlmo has been Infoimnl nnd un
authorized. Now It will begin In earnest.
Tho state committees will meet soon to call
the state conventions. Tho wires will bo
Inld by tho various candidates, nnd the year
promises to bo nn unusually Interesting one
In politics.
It has been assumed by many that Gov
ernor Shaw, who has mndo nn exception-
nuy good governor, would bo urged for n
third term In case (hero Is to bo nu elec
tion, nud It Is hinted that his friends want
to keep him In line for higher places, but
thus far ho has given no Indication of his
plans. Ho Is In Chicago now, where ho v III
address a meeting of tho Kpworth league on
Sunday, What his views nre, are known by
nobody save himself.
Hut there nre other candidates for the
governorship. Senator Hnrrlman of Hamp
ton Is n pronounced candidntc, nnd there
has been tnlk of A. II. Cummins of Des
Moines Georgo D. Perkins of Sioux City.
H. Funk of Spirit Lake, John Hcrrlott
of Stuart and. In enso he should return
from China, of Kdwln II, Conger of this
city. An effort bos been made to induce
loutennnt Governor MUllman of Losnn
to como out ns a candidate, but ho says ho
Is not a candidate.,
For superintendent of public Instruction
rof. R. C. Harrett of Osage will likoly
nsk n third term, as thnt is customary In
tins state, but James Hronton of Dea
Moines Is already in tho field, and thjro
will bo a numbor of other candidates.
vteicomc Mowry of Cedar Falls will bo
renominated for railroad commissioner. For
Judgo of the supremo court there will bo
many candidates to succeed Chief Justice
Given of this county, who will not ask nn
other term. Judgo nishop of Des Molucs
Is a candidate.
The Dec InIoii.
The caso before the supreme court on
which the amendment was decided void
was that of Marsh W. Haliey ugalnBt J. S.
Ilrookhart, from Washington county, a suit
In which the nowly elected county nltornoy
sought lo oust the old county attorney, who
claimed his right to hold over another year
on account or a dereet in tho amendment
which had been adopted. Although it was
a suit primarily on tho Interpretation of
mo uorcct, tho entire amendment was in
volved.
Judgo Dowoy held tho amendment In
valid, hence did not find It necessary to
ronstruo Its meaning. In Cherokee county
Judgo Hutchinson, In n similar case, held
tho opposite. Hoth cases camo before tho
court, and were argued orally and In
printed briefs by the best lawyers of th
state. Tho decision was hv tho conrfu nmi
was unanimous. Tho court holds that tbo
decision in tho Koohler case, Involving tho
pruuinuory nmendment n Iowa, covered
tho question of tho method of adopting
amendments entirely, that tho method laid
down in tho constitution must bo followed,
nun mo inuuro of tho clerk of the house
of tho Twenty-seventh general assembly
u sprena in tun upon tho records tho
proposed nmendment, but merely referred
to R by nnmo or title, was. In fact, a fit!
defect, henco tho nniondment Is of no force
now. rno court, In view of this decision,

Tho Titus amendment wns introduced
Into tho Twenty-seventh general assembly
by Senator Titus of Muscatine county, nnd
Itu purpose was to reduce tho number of
elections In Iowa by half. It was passed
through two general assemblies as provided
by law, but not until It was amended In
committees nnd badly botched In Its word
ing. The defect was mado in tho first leg
islature by tho clerk, who failed to wrlto
out In full tbo nmendment on tho Journal
of tho house. This defect was not noticed
until after tho amendment had been voted
on. Tho vote on tho amendment was 1R5
105 for tho amendment to 15r,50fi against
It, Thoro Is not .a doubt but thnt a similar
nmendment will bo Introduced Into tho leg
lulaturo which meets next winter and that
a strotis effort will bo made to bring It

Nervous Exhaustion
"Two years (to this summer I wai in a rnlterabtfl condition ns tho result
nf hard work. 1 wus completely run down, pln nud losing fipnh, unit so
nervous Unit I rould not sleep or even set rest. It wns dreadful to go to bed
nt night nil worn out nnd lie nwnke for hours with nrrvousnesf. If 1 did
full nleep It was to wnko up In the morning ns tired ns when I went to bed.
"My head troubled me n great tlenl, too, both with pain mid dltrlnrts.
If I stooped over at uny tlinn I would bo so dirty I could hardly f co or keep
from falling down. I wns troublod somewhat with lndlgcttlnn nt this time,
but tho nervousneni was tho grenter trouble. If I beeninu n llttlo excited my
bands would shako so 1 could hardly hold anything In them. 1 employ td
our best physleliuis, but not one of them did liicutiy permnuent good.
" I hud, of course, read of Dr. Willlamt' Pink Pll'i for Pale People, but hnd
never tnken nny of them till Mr. Robert Vnn Kuren, of Jordan, recom
