Sioux City Journal, 13: Citizen
of South Sioux City have been on th
war path for the past two days, it i,
said, as the result of a visit of aj
investigating committee from tin
Nebraska state board of health lo,
the purposo of inquiring into la
enforcement of contageous disease,
which it is alleged, was jrfstigate

day and reported the situation to b.
conducted in perfect accord with thi
law. An inference has circulateu
with the report that has gone ove
the neichboring city, that the mayo,
of Sioux City believed that contn
geous diseases here had originated ir.
South Sioux City and entered Sioux
City because of lax enforcement ol
the quarantine laws of the Nebraska
city, several South Sioux Citianssaid
last night. Mayor Short denied last
night having made such a request
and further declared that he had no'
said and was not in a position to sa
where the prevalent epidemic in this
city had come from. He did say,
however, that he had written both
the Nebraska and Minnesota state
boards of health for copies of then
quarantine laws. This perhaps led
to the confusion and rumors that
spread over the neighboring cit.
The examining committee reported
that the board and physicians of bo.
Sioux City were taking extra good
care of patients and were complying
to the letter of the law in statute
enforcement. There were live cases
of smallpox in South Sioux City on
Thursday and two cases were dis
missed from quarantine yesterday.
Citizens of South Sioux City claim
that their contagion was acquired
from Sioux City.

the old Taylor home north of Homer,
Neb., May 1, 1870. She attended
the common schools and graduated
in theSioux City school. She unit

twenty-nine years ago theie was no
Lutheran chucch here and she unit
ed with the Presbyterian church, but
owing to poor health was unable to
attend church service in recent years.
She was a member of the W, It. C,
Degree of Honor and Kebolcah lodges

We have had several requests for
information relative ta the sowing of
Durum or Macaroni wheat. One of
the Sioux City mills very strongly
advises against the sowing of this
wheat because it is undesirable as a

by a few mills in the country, lie
cause of these tilings the price is
always lower than for Marquis or
other good wheat. Mr. Jas. Heeney,
an elevator operator at Hubbnnl,
states that ho consulted three com

can relief workers, one could never be
lieve that they had passed through
the years of suffering that most of
them linvp experienced since they, or
their parents, wero driven from their
liotnes In Central Turkey flvo years
ago.
"For the accommodation of these or
phaus there arc sixty splendid stono
buildings, erected as barracks for the
Russian nrniy. These buildings are
now given to us by tho Armenian gov
ernment for n period of ten years and
lend themselves admirably to relief
purposes.
"Tills orphanage nt Aloxandropol Is
j but one of the 'J20 orphanages' that the
.Near Last Jtcllef Is now operating In
various parts of the Caucasu's, Anato
lia, Clllcla, Syria and tho Constantinople-Straits
nren.
"Thirty miles from Alexandropol, nt
Knrs, there Is another group of Rus
sian army barracks, which wero given
us by the Armenian government for
relief purposes. I was going through
tho dormitories of this orphanage nt
Knrs when tho young American col
loge girl in chnrgo turned to me nnd
said: 'Mr. Vickrey, It sometimes mnkes
mo feel Just a littlo older than Me
thuselah to bo called "Mother"- by
fl,000 of thoso Armenian children.'
And that Is exactly what" sho wns
the only mother that theso 0,000 Ar
menian children hnve, except as sho
avails herself of tho Organized assist
ance of native Armenian women, In
caring for this large family.
"In the hospital at Knrs I found
1,150 beds, which, tho day I was there,
wero occupied by 1,208 patients, It
frequently being necessary to put two
or more children In a single bed. At
Alexandropol we have In one hospital,
or group of hospital buildings, 1,500
trachoma patients. At Karaklls, forty
mill's east of Alexandropol we have
an orphanage devoted exclusively to
the care and trnlnlng of tho blind
children. At Delljntvwe have nnother
orphanage, located on a mountain side,
for the caro of tubercular chllUrcn,
this segregation being as much for
the welfare of tho healthy children In
the orphunages as for' the care of tho
unfortunate consumptives. At- Krlvan
wo formerly had twenty-six distinct
orphanages, though they have now
been reduced and consolidated to
seven In number. There', are, .some
thing more than 0.000 orphans In the
