There was a good crow.l and the speakers Instilled true republicanism Into the audience. President Will Tagg of the club called the meeting to order and Intro duced J. A. Hook as the first speaker. Mr. Heck said his subject waa the organ isation and purposes of the club. It' had been formed , he said , for the purpose of Inculcating the principles of republicanism Into the people and especially the voters ot South Omaha. Ho con ldored It the duty ot all men of families and properly owners to Identify themselves with some political party In order that they might have aolce In the regulation of affairs. Continuing , Mr. Hick said that In union there was alwajn stjength and that a unity of political opin ion generally IT not nlwajs tended towards good result' * . Factionalism was decried by Mr Deck and he urged unity In the party , belli young and old , and hoped that when the spring election ccame around Iho mem bers of Iho club would vote for the best man. Whileno candidates were mentioned , the Inference waa drawn that the club would bo expected to support only honest , stralght- foiward men for olllce. Senator James H Van Duson followed. His theme was the unity of republicans and the nmount of work which naturally falls nowto young republicans. The young men ot the party , he said , must now take up the work which Is being laid aside l > v grey- hatred veterans of the party. The- young men , however , must be guided to a great c\lent by the experience of their ciders , am ! for this reason no age limit had or would he drawn In the choosing of members of the club A high compliment was paid to jonng men generally by Mr. Van Dnscn and their ability to Mil positions of trust was men tioned particularly. Positions of trust filled by young republicans were given more thai pnsrlng notice and the statement was mndo that jounfe men generally affiliated them selves with the republican party. Before Mi concluding remark Mr. Van Duscn In cited considerable enthusiasm and his re marks were greeted with many rounds o : chi ers. Several members' ' of the club spoke briefly In the concluding exercises and the meet Ing was declared one of Ihe successes o the season. Tluit .Smallpox CIINP. The announcement that , a case ot small pox had appearol In South Omaha cause' ' considerable excitement hero jestcrday , ca peelally In the southern part of the city , great many were Inclined to the belief tha the facts had been misrepresented and tha upon close examination the disease fror which Joseph Aubrecht Is suffering migh bo declared a case of varlolold or somethln else reporcscntlng similar symptoms t smallpox. The thorough examination mad by Drs. Tow no and Schindel leaves no doub In thu minds of the medical fraternity tha there Is a genuine c.iso ot smallpox I the city. When questioned Aubrecht say ho is not aware of having boon In contac with any one afflicted with the disease be fora ho left Spokane , and ho Is Incline to think that he must have become infecte while on the train. Upon arriving at the residence of hH sister , Mrs. Drlx , Aubrecht felt that his condition was so serious that ho ought to have medical advice , but he never dreamed that ho was suffering from smallpox. After Drs , Towne and Schindel had made arrangements for all necessary precautions the case was turned over to an oulsldo phjslclan , who Is now looking after the patient. Acting Major Bennett Is taking an active interest In the matter and has Isiucd in- slrucllons to the police force to maintain a strict quarantine about the house In which Aubrocht Is confined. The chances are that the quarantine lines will bo enlarged to take In the four houses which arc built closely together at Twenty-eighth and Mad ison streets. Dr. Towne- , who Is an ac knowledged authority on smallpox , says that If the Drix children attended school on either Tuesday or Wednesday the entire school had hotter bo vaccinated. As a majority of the chlldicn In the neighborhood of Twenty- eighth and Madison streets attend the Hlgh- l.-.nd school It IB mora than likely that an order will be Issued requiring all of the pupils to bo vaccinated. It was asserted jesterday that two chil dren belonging In a house adjacent to the Urix residence attended school at Highland yesterday. These children were sent home at once and a request was made that the houses neur the Brlx- dwelling bo placed under quarantine regulations. This will un- doubledly bo .done In order to prevent the possible spread of the disease. Acting Mayor Bennett stated that ho proposed maintaining a strict quarantine if It took ovcry policeman on the force and that If the police could not be spared he would see that } special officers were sworn In to keep a . walch day and night over the premises to - prevent Ingress or egress. Mrs. Brlx and the members of her Immediate family are deslilous of having Aubrecht removed to a pest house , but as the city has no such building It Is moro than probable thit the patient will remain where he Is until cured Saturday evening the acting mayor visited the locality and gave directions for a day and night watch about the promises He also ordered thai all provisions needed he - provided and designated the place food waste to be left. The Janitor of the Highland school took It upon himself to spread dam aging reports about the condition of the quarantine and he was called to account by Mayor Bennett Superintendent Wolfe ol the public schools Is afraid It will bo ncccs- hory lo close Highland school , bul his fears are not entertained by the health authorities .
