I'rlday night's meeting of the Young
Men's Republican club , at Modern Woodman
hall , was the llrst ot a terlrs and was a
success. 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

Police Court.
Little Harcl Helghman , aged C , has ceased
to play In the dooryard of little Gretchon
Knosp , aged 4 , and the rain barrel of the
Knosps nn longer knows the voice ot Hazel.
It is because Hazel hit Gretchen with a base
ball bat and knocked her out.
In police court jcsterday Gretchen's
mamma testified that , as umpire ot the
game , eho had blappcd Hazel and that soon
afterward Hazel's mamma called , bringing
with her a broom. Mrs. Ilolghman had
shaken the broom and Mrs. Knosp had ag
itated the bat , and some more or less spir
ited talk passed between them. The Inci
dent closed with Mrs. Kelghman having
Mrs Knosp arrested for an assault upon
Hazel.
After hearing the testimony Acting Judge
Learn reproved Mrs. Knosp. saying that .is
umpire of a base ball game she exceeded her
authority by slapping a plujer. She was
fined $10 , but won't have to pay It if she
can restrain her temper during the next
thirty days.
The Knosps live at 2013 South Seventh 1
