cently released from smallpox quarantlno
and Harnett Insisted that hU children bo

they had at homo during the period of quar-artlne.
Fear of contagion from tho books has
aroused the parents of the other pupils, nnd
as tho Hazel Dell Hoard of Health refused
to act In thn matter, tho school directors
have appealed to tho county superintendent.
Tho directors havo been Informed by the
county superintendent that they havo the
right either to closo the school or to keep
tho Harnett children out of school for two
wceltH from the date of the raising ot the
quarantine.

Tho Hoard of Health mot lusMilght and
ordered Van Horn removed ,to this pest-

Chief Albro und City I'hysicliiu Jennings
were directed to secure a house to which
tho remaining members of tho Van Horn
household can bo removed. This will bo

Tho Mcrrlam block was ordered thor

which the Van Horn family lived. This
was begun last night.

The school board held a special mstlng
last evening to consider tho question of
closing tho North Eighth Street school on
account of danger of smallpox contagion.
Miss Wllllana Whlto, one of tho Vnn Horn
household In tho Merrlam block, is prin
cipal of the school. During tho several
days since Van Horn first becamo 111 Miss
White has been legularly at her work until
Mondny afternoon, when sho was unablo to
remain at her post, and went home. Sho
did not go to tho school ) rut onlay.
After a protracted discussion, in which
Member Macrao strongly urged that there
was sufficient danger of MIsb Whlto having
carried tho contagion to warrant closing
the school, a motion was mnijc by him that
tho E chth. Street school bo closed until
March IS, and that the entlro building le
fumigated. This wns supported by tho
votes of President Henry nnd Macrao nnd
Sargent, but wns defeated by tho votes of
Cooper, Hess, Stewart and Swalnc. Tho
latter took tho position that tho quarantin
ing of Miss Whlto was sufficient precaution
and that tho dismissal of tho school and the
cc.'ittorlug of tho tcr.chors and children
would bo more dangerous than to continue
tho school.

Taken Kxeeiitlnn to Statement
of
Alderman Holier.
Street Supervisor Taylor takes exception
to tho statement mado by Alderman Huber
at tho council 'mooting Monday night that
his accounts did not correspond with those
ot tho city auditor.
At tho tlmo that Aldermnn Huber, ns
hnlrmnu of tho utrects and alleys comnilt
e, was brought to task by somo of his
rothcr nldcrmeu for expending n large
urn of money on opening Elliott streot
vlthout first securing authority from tho
ouncll, he and Supervisor Taylor had a
Maputo ns to facts connected with tho
work. When this matter wns finally dis
posed of linker asked that tho streot super
visor bo required to make a report of tho
money expended on city work. Taylor
stated at the tlmo that It would bo Impos
sible for him 'to mnko n perfectly accurate
roport. Inasmuch na ho had not kept tho
tally on some of tho work.
Supervisor Taylor says that his report
does not lncludo his wages for six months,
nor nuy account of tho money expended on
Elliott street, as Vic Kellor had boen np
pointed foromnn of that work by Huber. It
also docs not lncludo any account of tho
nionoy spent In cutting weeds In tho "bot
toms," which Mas superintended by Huber
and the men on tho work engaged by hlin.
This, Supervisor Taylor says, will ex
plain the alleged "discrepancy" between
his roport nnd tho accounts of tho city
auditor. Supervisor Taylor also takes ox
ccptlon to tho manner in which tho chair
ni an of tho streots nnd alloys committee
has treated him slnco ho was appointed by
tho council to succeed Hardin.

DES MOINES, Feb. 26. (Speclal.)-(lov-
crnor Shnw and Adjutant General Ilycra
aro not nt nil pleased with tho Injection
of local politics Into tho preliminary work
or reorganizing a now company of the Iowa
National Guard nt Atlantic. With refer
ence to tho somewhat sensntloilal nud mis
leading reports sent out from Atlantic, Gen
eral Uyers today said:
"Tho statement mado In the dispatches
from Atlantic that I had reported that when
tho company was ready to bo organized 1
would go there and appoint a physician to
mnko tho examination is not true. That Is
not tho way It Is done. Physicians to make
examination of applicants arc appointed
on recommendation of tho surgeon general
and wo do not wait until tho company Is
organized. When I had been liotllled that
tho work of securing members had pro
ceeded far ruough so that examinations
might begin I asked Dr. Priestley, tho sur
geon general of tho guard, to recommend
a physician to make the examination. Ho
suggested Dr. Etnmert, who is nn eminent
surgeon. I never once thought that ho
might bo nn adherent of th? political party
which opposed Governor Shaw'8 election.
bellcvo Dr. Priestley never thought of
that.
"Tho first I knew of nny trouble at At
lantic was when tho editor of tho Tele
grnm camo hero ami said tho appolrtmeiit
of Emmtrt wus causing trouble politically.
I explained to him that no, person In At
lantic has recommended anyone, nor had
they expressed a wish for any particular
doctor to mnko tho examinations. 1 of-
fcred to appoint un assistant who Bhnuld
mnko tho cxnmlnntlons in fact and asked
him to recommend a person. He, sent In
two nnmcs and Dr. L. (!. Campbell wus rp
pointed. Now Campbell writes a long Ici
er to Governor Shnw, complaining that
Enimert Is a democrat, whllo most of the
members of iho eompnny aro republicans.
Ho IntlmatoH that unless his appointment
s withdrawn thero will bo no company or
ganized. I have written him, stating that
tho governor had nothing to do with tho
appointment, that tho appointment was
mado by myself on rccommcndatloti of the
Burgeon and that tho governor probably had
only Incidental knowledge thnt a company
was bolng nrgnnlzcd.
"It now transpires that thn real trouble
s nn attempt to bring up the old iiuiirrel
In tho Fifty-firHt regiment. Dr. Priestley
wafl a candidate, for president of tho Stntu
Medical society and was opposed because
ho recommended tho commissioning of the
doctors In the mllltla regiment ns they hail
been In tho volunteer service. Thero nro n
number of other towns very anxious to have
tho now company, and in view of the trouble
nt Atlnntlc nro mnklng steps to scctiro It.
Tho Wintcrsct coiupnny Is now ready to bo
mustered In and will bo In n fow weeks."
ConnnlN In Itelnrn Home.
Colonel Joseph Elborck, votcran editor of
this city, has received word that his hoii-Iii-law,
S. C. McFarlund, United Stntes con
sul at Nottingham, England, is soon to re
turn homo with his family, having secured
n leavo of nbsenco from his iosU Mr. Me-
Fnrland was for many yearn editor nnd pro
prietor of tho Times-Republican nt Mur-
shalltown, but slnco his appointment ns
consul nt Nottingham has not been homo.
Ho has written ho will sail for the United
States on April f.
It Is also expected that Albert W. Swalm,
United Stutcs consul nt Montovldco, will
return homo In tho spring on leave of ab
sence. Mrr Swalm was for many years
editor of tho Herald at Oskaloosa. Tho ex
act dato of Mr. Swalm's departuro for
homo Is not known.
Converted Trump Confesses.
Tho usual winter series of religious re
vival meetings held In this city has resulted
in many conversions and ono has been thu
moans of making n confession. A tramp,
who gives tho niimo of Tony Vnn dor Gast,
becamo converted at ono of tho meetings
and wroto n letter to one John Hall of Co
llar Rapids, making a confession that ho is
tho man who Btolo Hall's watch last year
at a firemen's tournament. There was no
clue to tho theft, but n few weeks ago a
tramp'nrrlvcd In Cedar Rapids and hunted
up Hall and told him that ho knew where
the watch was, Tho tramp said ho had
afterwards sold It in Newton for $5. In
vestlgatlon showed thnt tho watch had
actually been sold In Nowton nnd It wna
recovered. Now Tony Vnn der Gast writes
Hall that It was ho who told him of tho
location of tho watch and confessing that
he Btolo the watch, but pleads for forglvo
ness, saying ho has becomo converted nnd
will lend a better life. Tho converted
tramp will not be prosecuted.
Ilrcnk tint ttnaraiitliie,
Two women broko tho qunrantlno under
which thoy were subjected becauso of n
smallpox patient In their houso and roamed
about tho city nearly all last night. Thoy
slipped out of n window after they had
mndo n pretense ot going to bed. Early this
morning both wero found drunk by tho
polleo nnd taken to tho city Jail. Thero it
was discovered they had been living In n
houso with a smallpox patient for ten
dnys, nnd ns a result tho city Jail and en
tiro city hall wcro placed under quaran
tine, police court was dismissed nnd tho
city building fumigated.
Inasmuch au tho womon wcro at largo
for soveral hours' and frequented resorts
In tho city It is regarded aB certain that
they havo scattered tho dlseaso far am
wide. There aro a number nt tho county
Jail, and now that tho city Jail baB been
exposed tho authorities nro In a qunndary
what to do with prlsonors, aa thoy feel
they have no right to compel anyono to go
Into a smallpox hospital for safekeeping.

When n person who lias been sick for a long- time und almost gives tip all
hope of bcitiK' cured or relieved from the tortures of ill health, nt lust llnils n
medicine, which banishes all disease nnd pnin and restores them to good health,
they are so happy that they wish every one to know of thn remedy which hart
done so much for them. They know perfectly well how they were ailing, and
what their feelings were in regard to their nilliction. They nlso know that if
others tied tho same medicine that they too would be restored to health. At
this season, especially, when everybody needs a spring tonic, they should tnlto
this grand medicine, .Dr. Greene's Nervura, and put their system in such a con
dition that they can ward off attacks of disease which are lurking about, nnd
which, if they once gsin a foothold, lead on to chronic complaints. Nothing
is able to cope with disease nnd banish, it from the human system like Dr.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy.
Headaches and sleeplessness always give unmistakable signs of disease.
Multitudes of. men and women suffer in this way, and do not llnd relief be
causo they do not get tho right treatment. DrASrccna's Nervura blood anil

nervous ailments and chronic complaints. Hosts of people in every commu
nity have been cured bv this grand medicine. We publish herewith a letter
from Uoso K. Parker of William Downs Woman's 1'clicf Corps, 1!10 South 7th St.,
MinucnpolU. She says :
Dr. Greene's well known remedy wns highly recommended to
me some time ago, when suffering with bad health. I had bad
headaches, and ' restless nights, and only those who have been
similarly afflicted know how grateful I feel toward Dr. Greene's
Nervura. After using four bottles I was completely restored to
good health. During the last five months I have had neither ache
nor pain, and I give Dr. Greene's Medicine the credit for curing me.
Dr. Greene can always count on me asa friend of his famous remedy."

lino tells you that this wonderful remedy will cure disease. When such strong
proof is offered to you, is thero any reason for you to hesitate ? Hear in mind
