They are Mrs. Dennett , Mrs. Hoffman and her child and a boy living In one of the quarantined houses whoso name Is unknown. The older Mrs. Bennett Is also 111 with what may pro\o to be smallpox In the course of a day or two. All the patients so far are In the three quarantined houses at the corner of Avenue G and Tenth street and the strictness with which the watch has been kept will In all probability keep the disease confined there. It will not be surprising If the disease makes almost a complete round of the nineteen persons under quarantine , for they have all been more or less careless In obeying the city physician's orders and have exposed themsehos to the disease more than was necessary.

Council Bluffs , la. rOUTICAI. OOS5IP. Simmering of the 1'ut nnd Somu of the Thlnga it lias Produced. This week will be an Important one po litically , for before It endsboth the repub lican and democratic parties will ha\e put their tickets Into the field , and the cam paign , which up to this time has been carried on In a sly way by most of the multitude of patriots who are yearning for a chance to serve their country , will be transformed Into a hot and actl\e battle. The word multitude is used advisedly In speaking of the political aspirants , for there have been few years when candidates and people who are "men tioned , " cither by themselves or their friends as possible candidates , were more numerous. The list of runners In the race for nomina- atlon for the-mayoralty has steadily dwin dled of late. A week or so ago the names of Peter Smith and J. II. Cleaver were named as candidates on the republican side , and V. Jennings , Dr. Macrae. T. E. Casady and John P. Weaver on the democratic. Of late all but Dr. Macrae of the democratic candidates have fallen by * the wayside , and It la re garded as pretty definitely settled that he will lead the democrats In the coming elec tion. Smith and Cleaver are both still talked of by the republicans , but It any one knows which of them has the Inside track he won't tell. The probability Is that he doesn't know. The office of marshal , with Its salary of $200 and a chance to sue for anywhere from $2,00 to $4,000 more per annum , Is an attractive chroma In the eyes df poli ticians , and the lists are full. Ed Canning , Prank Fowler and J. M. Scanlan are said to have the best chance for the republican nomination , but when It comes to dividing even the best chance up Into three parts there Isn't much left for each Individual and each of the gentlemen named would trade his chance for a certainty and pay liberally to boot. W. D. Hardin Is regarded as the most promising candidate the demo crats have , although Frank Guanella has a largo following. J. L. Templeton , who has held the oflce for two terms already , has many friends who would like to see him retained another two years , but-he has kept the rest of the faithful away go long that they are becoming \cry hungry and yearn for a chance. So Templeton has made preparations to decamp , and has even gone EO far as to give one of his deputies per mission to take a month's hunting trip In the wilds of Nebraska , beginning March 19 R. V. Innes , A. J. Stephenson , J. A. Gor- ham and E. J , Abbott are the republican can didates for city treasurer , and It Is hard * to say which of them has the larger following F. T. True Is the only democratic candidate that has so far come to light. George Gould Is a candidate for renomlnatlon for the office of auditor , while A. V. Welslnger and G. M. Wilson and William Larson are named by their democratic friends. Judge McGee will undoubtedly be his own successor on the superior bench. The demo crats waited to name the day for holding their convention until the republicans had named theirs , and then put It immediately before the republicans , in order that they might not have to endorse the republican nominee , who would In all probability have been McGee. Now that the democrats will ha > o the first chance to nominate McGee , there seems to be some uncertainty as to whether the republicans will put up any ono In opposition to him. A , S. Hazelton and C. G. Saunders are mentioned In connection with the office , but It Is underktood that neither of them Is anxious for the honor of a nomination against McGee. There Is no dearth of candidates for city attorney. Q. W. Hewitt , John Llndt and J I ) Sweet are said to bo after the office on the republican side of the house , and W H. Ware. E. E. Aylesworth , George Holmes , Emmet Tinley and Frank Trimble on the democratic. It should be said In justice to Mr. Trimble that he has denied the soft Im peachment In his own case , but If any of the others have , they havent done it loud enough to be heard E. E. Cook Is a candidate for city engi neer on the rcpubllcoln side and Thomas Tostovin and Sam Etnyre on the democratic. August Paris , Dave Mottaz and Oscar Hen- sel would like to be vvelghmaster and W. D. Hardin Is a candidate for assessor. The crop o : aiacrmanlc candidates has not \ m" ' with n failure till ) winter , either In Ihc First war ! Uere are E C Baldy W M Squire , W II Bradley and Vic Jennings In the Second there are Rushlttlesy W F Baker Chris Bosen and Henry Knephcr while In the Fifth there are Dell O Morgan , T A Brewlck. W W Cones and Ovlde Vlen The above are not all. but they are enough to show that any one who atptres to any olTlco will nnd some In the field ahead of him , and neither party will have any M > ( t snap In undertaking to make up a slate which will give each office to one man .and not offend any of his opponents One thing about the campaign which has at tracted some attention and excited consider able comment Is the fact thnt so far the Five-Cent Fare clubs have taken no part In the outward maneuvers of either party. By some this Is taken as an Indication that the clubs have laid down * and will not do anything further. By others , however. It Is said that the clubs are In the fleld and the marks of their flno Italian hand will be seen In the convention. Ask your grocer for Domestic soap. Carbon Coal company , 34 Pearl street.

It Is stated that the singer had been hampered by Instructions as to the character of the piece she should sing , and the selection Itself was not admired by many of the audience , for it "did not give her a chance to exhibit her wonderful vocal powers.

The steamer Topcka , jtist arrived from Alaska , brings news of a $10.000 robbery , which , it is claimed , has taken place on Douglas Island recently , the Treadwell Min ing company being the victim , says a Port Townsend dispatch to the Denver Times. The story' is that the robbery consisted In the filching of crude gold from the vats of the chlorlnatlon works of the mining com pany , and that the value of the metal lost was between $10,000 and $12,000. It Is said that , as customary' , the water was turned on In the vat so that the gold might separate from the quicksilver and refuse on Janu ary 17. The following morning It was dis covered that the water had been turned off and that the vat was empty. The affair Is shrouded In considerable mys tery and there was an evident desire on the part of the officers of the mining company and Its employes to keep It dark , but the matter leaked out from the fact that men were on hand who searched every piece of baggage that came aboard the Topeka at Douglas island. This was done without w'ar- rant or authority of any kind , beyond the direction of the offlbcrs of the mining com pany. Besides searching the baggage of the passengers the ship itself was searched and every assistance extended by Its of ficers to throw some light on the case. Min ing men here do not take much stock In the robbery theory. They say it would have been Impossible for buch a thing to have taken place. In order to get such amount of gold out of one of the -vats , they say It would have been necessary to carry away six tons of metal to be sorted over and such a thing would be a physical Impossi bility , Inasmuch as there are watchmen on hand. It Is considered much more likely that the gold was lost through some sort of carelessness or negligence on the part of the employes of the raining company , and that the robbery theory has been ad vanced for special motives. The superintendent of the mine has sent to San Francisco for detectives to take the case in charge. ( irrut CUIK. A test of the biggest gun In the navy Is soon to be made by the government. The base of the gun Is thirteen inches In diam eter and carries a projectile weighing 1,100 pounds. The 550 pounds of powder neces sary to give It Impetus will , It is estimated , carry the projectile 2,000 feet u second. The force at the muzzle will be sufficient to move 40,000 tons one foot. To be accepted by the government the gun must penetrate at 1,000 yards distance twenty-five feet of solid steel. If such guns can be alined and fired with accuracy they would be the most effective coast defense yet conceived. No armor could repel them The moat formid able vessel afloat would go down under their fire. By reason of their long distance capacity not many of such guns would b needed to protect the entire coast line of the United States. KnglnrcrVu Killed. NEW CHILEANS , Feb. 10.

Admit thnf'Thry Violated the I-nw but Drclarr'tttnt ItVn * Uonc In the Intr'rrfi'of Human * Illghtk. DEADWOOD , S. D. , Feb. 11. ( Special to The Bee. ) "Anything for human rights Is constitutional , " retorted Charles Sumner In the United States tenate when one of his anti-slavery proposals was characterized as unconstitutional. Sumner's defense Illustrates * exactly the position which the labor organizations of the Black Hills and their sympathizers and supporters are occupying today. They are the first to admit that they have defied and broken the law , and , In the same breath , Uiey Insist that they have done nothing That was not right nnd justifiable. Their opponents , the business men and property owners , who fear that the present state of affairs will repel capital and prevent new- Investments , do not sympathize with this view of the events of the past few weeks. The story may be briefly told as follows : A corporation calling Itself the Thunderer Gold and Stiver Mining company ( limited ) began operations In the Garden City district about eight miles northwest of Deadweod It bought the Keystone chlorlnatlon works , which had for some years been Idle , ami a number of quartz claims in that vicinity. After a reorganization of the company and a change In Its name to the form of the South Dakota Mining company , It began the con struction of a ditch with which to convoy water to Its property from Annie creek , ( He miles away. It was estimated that It would cost $50.000 to complete this work. The com pany hired men at $1.50 per day and board to move the dirt and rock The stipulation was that wages should be paid only for time actually put In , but that the men should not be charged for t.'ielr bojrd on day- ) when the weather should prevent them working. As the work was being done In midwinter In a mountain country where the snowfall was-often as great as three feet , this last stipulation was distinctly in the laborers' favor. After a few weeks work the company gave notice that the method of payment would be changed and that the scale thereafter would be $175 per day , and that a charge of $4.50 per week would be made for board The men ob jected to the change In scale and sent a delegation to Lead City to ask the aid of the miners union of that city After Inves tigation the union concluded that the case would properly come under Its jurisdiction the work under dispute being mostly rock work and word was sent to the South Dakota company's employes that they would be supported In striking. This news decided the dissatisfied men and they at once quit work , and began building a house In the woods and preparing to go into winter quarters. Supplies of food were for warded to them by the Knights of Labor of Deadwoodt and the miners unions of Lead City and Central CHy , All this took place In December. January 3 a messenger from the strikers' camp arrived In Lead City with tidings that the South Dakota company- had resumed work with about seventy-five men , part of them tram Deadwood and par ; from eastern points. . Word was at once sent to the labor organizations , six In num ber , which had combined to support the strikers , and the same afternoon meetings were held by all of them The result of their deliberations Hvaa' first made known to the general public by their acts the next day. day.Early Early on the moaning- January 10 the Knights of Labor oj Deadwood met at their hall , and from there marched to Central City , one and a halt miles distant. Here they were joined byJthe Central City Miners union and the march was resumed. At a point half a mile further on the miniature army was again strengthened , this time by members of the Lead City Miners union. The next stage of the journey was to Bald mountain , about four miles away , where the number of marchers was Increased u > snout 350. TRAMPED THROUGH PNOW. From Bald mountain to Annie creek , whtre the cause of all the excitement was , tc Le found , the route luy through a rough , wooded country with the snow a foot and a half deep. Shortly before the destination was reached a stop was made , a spokesman selected , and then the rush for the posbestlon of the ditch was mad * . The new- employes were busily at work , with the manager and attorney for the company standing between them and the approaching Invaders. The leader of the latter , who , by the way , was for several terms a member of the common council of Lead City , at tempted to stop his men and rnld a con sultation with the officials bcf ( > re Mm. In telling the story to The Bee correspondent he said : "But you might us well nave irlcd to stop one of those Nebraska cyclor- amusses. " The rear Tuard i.-owi'ed the leaders and the mining compiny cClclals over the edge Into the ditch , nn-1 ir. less time than It takes to tell fie story the work had been stopped and the friends of the strikers were in undlspi ed possession. About this time Sheriff Rem < r of Law rence county arrived on the scene. Ho had tried to get there sooner , but thy road through the timber -was narrow , and he had been unable to drive past the "tired- out" ones of the expedition who had refused to turn out for him. The sheriff , at the request of the Invaders disarmed a couple of the employes of the company and then arranged a consultation between the contending forces. This resulted In nothing , however , and about 4 o'clock the line was formed for the march through the snow back to Ltad City. First came a part of the Invading force , then tile laborers who had been taken off the work , and In the rear the balance of the \lctors. Lead City was reached about S o'clock , the prisoners started down the road toward Deadwood , and ranks were broken by the men who had marched a distance of not less than twenty-five miles through deep snow since their start In the morning. The next evening the Deadwood Merchants association met and denounced the action cf the miners. The Times nd Planter , dally papers of this city , -omniended their action. The business men of Central City slilid with the miners , and propned that the count/ seat be removed from Deadv.-oDl to f iu.e other town. The miners jumped at the idea. A boycott against almost even * lus.r.iss man of Deadwoid was declare I. und the movement for county fceat removal Is pro gressing merrily. > t lH inopoicj to inal.e Lead City the li a > I'unr | ! trs of the HUIMC- rtake company , and.atxut equil in popula tion to Dea1- > - > -iJ , ithe beno.5la-y if tlilg scheme.

ThU 'I ' * disputed , and may have to be decided in court finally. In the meantime tlie South Dakota Mining company has suspended operations entirely. The prosecution of the raiders has been abandoned , in fact Itaa never begun , and It may be expected thatnothing further will come of It. No one- was Injured in the raid , and the only display of arms was by the employes of the company disarmed by the sheriff. The strikers' cause has been espoused since the beginning by the populut dally published at Deadwood , and , through the columns of the papers of the county , the fight will be waged from now on , llu Arrungrtl for u ronfrrcnrr.

Life seems pleasant to the Quakers , for In Philadelphia their suicides were only 803 per 100,000. Even the Puritan of Boston prefers to take his | east wind rather than poison. Chicago people find It easier to move away than kill themselves No extensive study of Ameri can suicidal statistics has been published | quite recently , but so far as New York City is concerned , it looks as though Morselli's law was finding its illustration here. In the aggregate of the civilized states of Eu rope and America , the frequency of suicide shows a growing and uniform increase , so that generally voluntary * death since the be ginning of the century has increased , and goes on Increasing more rapidly than the geometrical augmentation of the population and of the general mortality.
