CORNELIUS VAN C6TT. Postmaster.
Postofflqe, New' York,' N. T Decembor 4,
i an ' - .
Commissioner Ralph has filed a complaint
In police court charging Dr. James Rich
ards of 1202 North Twenty-sixth street with
violating the ordinances by falling to re
port a contagious disease. The sickness tn
question was that of Miss Irene- Perfect,
which resulted In her death at the Shrlners'
hotel November 23. Physicians who were
called the day before' her death certified I
that demise wan caused by scarlet fever j
and "Improper medical treatment." Mrs.
Perfect, the girl's mother, was loath to
employ medical physicians, being a Chris
tian Scientist . -
Doctor Called On Twice.
Dr. Richards, who Is said to have an
office In South Omaha' was called upon to
examine .the young woman twice, accord
ing to Health Commissioner Ralph. First
on November I, when Miss Perfect was
strong enough to go to the physician's resl
dence, and again November 18, a few days
before her death, when Dr. Richards vis
ited the patient at har bedside. .
'No report was ever made to this office
by Dr. Richards," says the health com
missioner. "I am advised that when he
made the second, examination the patient's
throat was so sore he could not thoroughly
Inspect It and that the nurse told him Miss
Perfect's body was broken out with a
rash. The nurse, who was a hospital
graduate, appears to have done what she
could to secure a correct diagnosis. I am
told that Dr. Richards did not prescribe
for the girl either time, as neither her
mother- - nor the patient desired . it
Whether or not the doctor recognised the
dlaeaae will no doubt be . proven at the
hearing in the police court Wednesday
morning."
This Is the first case of Its kind on record
and is expected to Involve the legality of
the ordinance requiring physicians to re
port all contagious diseases to the health
department under a threatened penalty o'f
a fine ranging from 85 to 1100.
"I am planning to file complaints against
several other physicians If they do not use
more care In Informing this office of all con
tagious diseases under their care," Dr.
Ralph declares. "Some evidence la at hand
and I shall procure more If a decided Im
provement Is not made.'' i
Irene Perfect.
Irene Perfect, the daughter and only child
of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Perfect, was born In
Omaha and during the last eighteen years
of her life her home was In this city. She
attended the public sixhobls of Omaha from
the time she was 8 years of age until the
date of her lost Illness, with: the exception
of one year. That year she attended the
public schools In Kansas City. Mo. ' She
was In the Junior year and would have
graduated In the class of 1906.J Amongst

Anton Copparel, the Italian who figured
prominently In a free-for-all fight at 1318
Jones street last Christmas day, snd from
whlctn William Bruno, Copparel's rival for
the hand of a charming Italian maiden,
issued minus his upper Hp, has been re
leased from custody on the strength of a
cash bond In the sum of tOOO, furnished by
Natala Bruno, a relative of Copparel's
enemy, but the latter'a staunch friend.
Samuel Mancuto and David Cole, who
went on Copparel's bond nearly a year
ago, which bond he jumped, were In court
and arranged to have-the hearing on the
old score come up on- the 15th. Mancuso,
who went all the way- to Chicago shortly
after. Copparel .JumpeJ his bond to . bring
him back, shook -his head 'knowingly when
Mr. Bruno cashed up to 'Court Clerk Lee
Greer for his friend's appearance at trial.
Mr, Mancuso said that Copparel had con
ceived the Idea that-after the lapse of six
months he was exempt from arrest, arid
therefore had come back to Omaha and
waa picked up Saturday ,"htght by Officer
Baldwin while getting a shave In a Douglas
street barber shop. He had learned, Mr.
Mahcuao continued, thai Copparel contem
plated a trip to the old country and would
have been enroute Saturday night but for
his arrest; also, he. had received advice, he
said, that the girl In the case had married
a third party about two months ago and
was living; happily.

Oklahoma Is southern - In 'point of geo
graphical position. The people are western
in their aggressiveness and untiring en
ergy; they are eastern In their educa
tional facilities and lines of thought; they
are northern in their methods of farming.
The territory possesses the happy medium
In Its kindly climate '. and the ability to
bring forth the products that are native to
the north, east, south and west of the
United States. Cotton, the staple of the
south, la a leading product Tobacco la
raised .with as much success as In Ken
tucky and Tennessee. Wheat and corn,
the grain of the north and western states,
are raised more extensively than any other
commodity. The. wheat crop of Oklahoma
for 1901 aggregated 80,000,000 bushels. The
corn crop for the same year exceeded 65.
000,000 bushels. Potatoes, fruits and all
manner of grasses, vegetables and other
grains yield prolincalfy.'
The raising of live stock is one of the
most profitable pursuits. The pasturage Is

. The speclsl committee of three, consisting
of Howard H. Baidrlge, O. W. Shields and
H. O. Lambert, named by Judge Slabaugh
to Investigate the chargee of Jury tamper
ing In the case of John T. Connolly against
the Union Pacific Railroad Company,
thinks that James Fitzgerald, the Juror
who claims that he was offered a bribe
to hang the Jury, was making a "grand
stand" play, and In its report, -which was
submitted to Judge Slabaugh yesterday,
the committee makes the statement
that In Its Judgment Fltxgerald was never
offered a bribe of any kind, and that his
public announcement before the remainder
of the Jury . at the time It was behind
closed doors and deliberating upon the
case was for the purpose of unduly In
fluencing his fellow jurors in behalf of the
plaintiff. .
Report of Committee.
The report submitted by the committee Is:
We, ' the undersigned, your committee,
appointed to investigate the question of
whether the Jury In the case of Connolly
against the Union Pacific Railway Company
had been bribed or tampered with In any
dishonest manner, do hereby make the fol
lowing report!
That on Monday, the 80th day of Novem
ber, 1903, we convened to Investigate said
matter, as such committee, and did in
vestigate the same as thoroughly as
possible, at said time, and adjourned until
Friday, December 4, at which time we took
further teatlmony.
In said Investigation we have 'examined
separately, under oath, each of the jurors
who served In said cause, and alao the
attorney for the plnlntiff and the attorney
for the defendant, the Union Pacific. Each
? fRl1 Jurors except Fltxgerald testified
that no, one had made any Improper sug
gestions to them concerning what they
should do In said cuure, in or about their
verdict. ,
Flisgrald testllled that one day while
the cause was on trial and when he wna
standing in the corridor of the court
house, someone, whom he swore he had
never, seen before, said to him In sub
stance:. ."There Is something In this case
for you to hang the Jury; four others of
the Jury have been fixed, you might as
well get In line," and that Fltsgerald Went
sway without making a reply. He further
swore In i that connection, that he would
probably know the m.m If he could see
him again, though he had never seen him
before.
The weight of the testimony of the other
Jurors Is to the effect that after the first
ballot had been taken, which was four for
the defendant, one Clark, and seven for the
plaintiff, Fltxgerald said to Smith, who
was also one of the Jurors," "There Is going
i "o run.e ion or excitement in tnis case
yet," nnd said that he had been ap
proached. Afterwards at the request of Smith, or
the foreman of said lury, the said Fltxger
ald said to said Jury in the Jury room,
while said Jury was deliberating, that he
bad been approached; that a man said to
him In the corridor of the court house
that there was something in the case for
him to hang the Jury, and that four of the
Jurors had already been fixed and that he
might as well get In line.
That the foreman then asked Fltxgerald
if he knew the man and he stated yes;"
that he had known Mm for two or three
years and that he thought he was em
ployed by the. Union Paclltc Railroad com
pany and that he would know him If he
saw him again,
' Mr. Mahoney testified that he saw Fltx
gerald after the Jury was discharged and
that Fltxgerald said to him that he would
know the man if he would see him again;
that he had never seen him before, and
didn't know him; that he (Mahoney) had
an Idea who he might be, and had sent

The Rutabaga Is 'singing, "Under the

prices. The trimmings and worked-up
green stuff promises to bs a shads higher

having apparently been dipped in dye, to
give it the lovely unnatural greet of the
fancy pickle. The wreaths and rope-greens

impressed all who . knew hr. Innermost
life. From her early childhood, as soon as
she arrived at the age of accountability and
could understand and appreciate Chris
tianity, she was a devout Christian.'. Arid
her sweet, simple, childlike faith, as it often
evidenced itself to me, was an almost con
stant source of surprise. ' During all her
life. up to the very hour of her death her
sweet, simple faith sustained her, and sht
never wavered.
Her home life was such ss commanded
ths admiration "of all who were familiar
with It. Her most constant companion, her
dearest friend, her confidant In all things,
was her mother. ' Her love for her father
was evidenced at all times and was only
equalled by her admiration for him. To her
he was tbe very embodiment Of everything"
manly, Whilst she had strong convictions
of her own, yet In all ths Important things
she never acted without consulting both
her father and mother, and was always
ready and willing to defer to their mors
mature' judgment, snd their wishes WbrS
the constant guides to her conduct, and if
counter to her own desires her surrender
was Instant, complete and without a mur
mur and complaint. Irene Perfect was my
cousin. I loved her with almost the love
of a father, and I desire to pay this tribute
to her. LEB B. E8TELLE. '

Hon. J. W. Virtue died at his residence,
811 Hancock street, yesterday evening at
( o'clock. He was born In the County of
Fermanah. Ireland, June 84, 1X37 1 came to
Ontario, Can., when a youth, and went to
Omaha. Neb., in 1864. In 1863 he went to
Auburn, Baker county, which wss at that
time the county seat. Baker county was
organised in 1862, and ' ths governor ap
pointed tbe county officials to serve until
the regular election of 1864, 'when Mr.
Virtue, was elected sheriff, a position hs
filled for six years with credit to himself
and the satisfaction of the people. Before
the expiration of his term as sheriff the
county scat was removed to Baker City. At
the expiration of his public services he en
gaged In mining and banking and for sev
eral years was the leading spirit In all en
terprises tending to develop ths mining in
terests of that section as well as the agri
cultural end stock industries. There waa
no enterprise calculated to advance the In
terest of that section that did not receive
his earnest moral and financial support,
and no man contributed more to the devel
opment of Oregon mining Interests than ha
did. Baker City owes In a great measure
her present position as ths Denver of Ore
gon to his enterprise. The famous "Virtue"
mine was once his property and It wss his
money that opened Its treasury of 'wealth.
About eight years ago he moved to Leland.
Josephine county, where hs engsged In
opening some valuable reining property,
and about a year ago came to this city.
In 1897 he represented Josephine county
In the lower house of the legislature and
made a good working member of that body.
The state is much Indebted to Mr. Virtus
for the position It now holds as a mining
section, for no msn worked harder and
invested more liberally than he and en
couraged others la this enterprise. He Waa
regarded as the best authority in the north,
west on all mining matters. Mr. 'Virtue
was prominent la poUUoal matters and-al-

RELIC OF THE REVOLUTION
Historic Prlsoa Hmis of Major Aadre
How Used as a Bar susd
I Titers,
In the little village' of Tappan, near ths
border line between New - York and New
Jersey, about twenty-one miles from New
York, is ths historic prison bouse in which
Major John Andre .of the British army
was confined In September, 1780, and from
which he was led te sxecutlon on Ootober
I, 17t0, The house la practically the same
now as It wss 128 years ago, although a
storm lit March, 1807, destroyed part of the
house and leveled a side wall, which has
been rebuilt, however. .'..'."
The house has long; been an object of in
terest to tourists and It has lately at
tracted some attention because of the
resurrection of the theme of Andre's death
by Clyde Fitch, the playwright, who has
laid the scenes of his lsst act 8n the play
"Major Andre," now running at the Savoy
theater. In this celebrated house.
Ths building Is of stons and It has been
known for nearly a . century as the '"78
House." Presumably It waa built In that
year. It was a tavern when Andre was
confined there end It Is a tavern still. For
many years prior to Its partial destruction,
in 1897, it had been unoccupied and It was,
therefore. In poor condition to withstand
ths strong winds. Immediately afterward
it was purchased by Charles A. Pike, a
native of Tappan, who restored the house
as nearly as possible to Its former state.
One room, however, has been converted
Into a barroom and It Is the resort for, ths
gsyer element in tha little village. Directly
across the hall Is ths Andre prison room,
which is carefully preserved for the In
spection of visitors. Mr. Pike, the owner
ot the building is proud ' of his property.
and th. Andre room la filled with rare
prints and reproductions of documents re
lating to the young British officer who was
tried there snd hanged In the rear of 'the
house.
Clyde Fitch, In order to set "local color"
for his new play, recently visited the
prison house in company with Arthur By
ron, the actor, who la playing the role of
Major Andre. They were shown all over
the house, visited ths Andre monument in
the rear and then Invited Mr. Pike to
come to New York and help stage the
scenes in the last act of the play. Mr.
pike came to New York and arranged tha
scene, showing the Interior of tbe prison
house, so that it la now an almost perfect
reproduction of that historlo room. New

We find from said teatlmony:
' First that no Juror, except Fltsgerald.
had been Improperly approached In said
cause. And we believe from the testimony
siiWItted to us that the said Fltzgera d
was not approached, but that he had said
what he did to the Jury for the purpose of
wrongfully Influencing them for the plaln-

attorneys connected with said cause sre
