HOSPITAL OUT OF OUARANTINE

The quarantine on the Woman's Christian
Association hospital was raised yesterday
and for the first tlmo in fifty-six days the
Inmates were permitted to leave the prem
ises. Tho hospital was first placed under
quarantine on November 26, when a patient
named Conmey was found to be suffering
from smallpox. Conmey was removed to
the pesthouso and tho hospital was or
dered quarantined for only seventeen days.
A week or so after Conraey's removal three
other patients were taken sick with the
disease and a further quarantine for forty
days was ordered.
At tho tlmo the hospital was placed under
quntantino there were nineteen patients,
nine nurses and five domestics In It. Two
death havo occurred during tho period of
quarantine, tho first being ono of the small
pox patients, who was extremely aged and
feeble. The second death was that of a
patient who was Buffering from consump
tion. Tho house Is being thoroughly fumi
gated and cleaned nnd repainted. All of
tho nurses and the domestics, despite their
confinement In the building for fifty-six
days, aro in the best of health.

Decision of Siiiirrnif Court Kind Sore
Spot Anionu MtlKitnt.
Tho declnlon of tho supreme court :n
nlllrmlng tho ruling of Judge Thornell of
the district court, In which the latter held
Illegal tho city ordinance granting the
motor company a flfty-yenr franchise, Is n
soro disappointment to the company, as It
had confidently expected a reversal of the
decision of the lower court.
Tho history of tho fifty-year franchise
has some Interesting features connected
with it. On September 20, 189", Just ten
days before the new Iowa code went Into
effect, tho motor company submitted to tho
city council an amendatory ordlnanco by
which, its franchise was extended for n
further period of thlrty-flvc years, the
old charter under which the company was
then operating having at that tlmo fifteen
years yet to run. Tho ordinance was passed
at thai session of tho council nnd Imme
diately a vigorous opposition arose to the
granting of such a long term franchise, In
view of tho fact that the new code which
was to become a law In n few days pro
vided that no franchises should bo given
or extended without first being submitted
to tho vote of tho people. Those opposed
to tho nction of tho city council contended
that It would have been more proper to have
deferred the matter until tho code went Into
effect. Mass meetings to protest against
tho action of tho council nnd to request
Judge Carson, who was then mayor, to re
fuse to attach Hs official slgnaturo to the
mcasuro wtro held.
Kxtrn ICd It Ion Not l,cnnl.
Mayor Cnrson hesitated about signing the
ordlnanco nnd It looked for a tlmo as If
tho new cede would go Into effect with the
measure unsigned nnd then tho motor com
pany would havo been compelled to submit
tho question to the people. Tho new code
went Into effect at midnight on September
30 nnd that night thero was a largo and
Interested crowd of citizens gathered In tho
city hall awaiting tho decision ot Mayor
Carson. As tho hands of tho clock In tho
office of tho city clerk pointed to 9 o'clock
Mnyor Carson took up a pen and hastily
attached his slgnaturo to tho ordinance.
Representatives of tho motor company
bastoned with n copy to I ho Nonpareil and
i special edition was printed containing tho
publication of tho ordlnanco shortly before
midnight. A few copies of tho special edi
tion wcro sold on tho streets, representa
tives of tho motor company acting In the ca
pacity of newsboys. Judgo Thornell held
that tl'.o publication in tho special edition
was not such n publication as tho law con
templated nnd required nnd thnt therefore
the ordlnanco never did become a valid and
binding legislative act of the city.
Nnturo of I'rlvntr Contract.
Tho attorneys for tho motor company con
tended that tho ordlnanco was In the nnturo
of a quasi-private contract between tho city
and tho jr.otor company and was not nn
ordlnanco tho validity of which depended
upon publication within n stated time. Thoy
further contended that tho validity of tho
ordlnanco would not havo been affected
had It not been published for a month after
It had received tho official signature of tho
mnyor. All that was necessary, they held,
to mako tho ordlnanco valid and effective
was tho mayor's autograph on It and that
had been attached within tho proper time
limit.
Tho suit attacking tho validity of tho
ordlnanco was commenced within a short
time nfter the passage of tho ordinance
hut It did not reach tho court until Feb'
ruary, 1899. Judgo Thornell's decision was
handed down In August of tho same year.
Tho motor company now has tho fifty
year franchise of the Suburban company
to fall back upon. Tho Suburban company's
frnnchlso was voted by tho people at n
special ejection held in December, 1S99.

In tho coUcko chapel laut evening. Tho
debate was for tho twofold purpose ot do
elding tho championship between the two

was upheld by tho Instltuto society, re

For Forest Ueerve,
At tho meeting of tho Iowa Academy of
Sciences, held in Dcs Moines during tho
holidays, a committco, consisting of Prof.
L. H. Pammcl, Ames; T. H. Macbrldo, Iowa
City, and H. A. Mueller, was appointed to
preparo and forward to congress a memorial
from tho aendemy in relation to forest ro
serves, nnd especially tho proposed rescrira
tlons In Minnesota and Wisconsin. This
committco has Just prepared and sent to
Washington tho memorial, which covers a
wider scopo than any of tho memorials
which havo been forwarded from western
states. After reciting tho efforts made to
secure a reservation in tho Leech Lake
country, tho memorialists say:
"Tho Iowa Academy of Sciences in ses
sion hereby petition congress:
"First To sogregato for park purposes
tho said tract of land at tho headwaters
of the Mississippi and such other lands as
congress may havo control over in tho
states of Minnesota and Wisconsin, espe
cially tho Rocky mountain and Sierra re
gions, to tho end that not only tho timber
of said states may bo partially saved, but
for holding the moisture In said regions,
nnd also for tho preservation of our wild
game.
"Second Wc also favor a proposed south
ern Appalachian national park.
"Third That tho govornraont withhold
from tho market public lands covered with
timber and that tho mature timber on tho
snmo bo sold undor tho supervision of a
technically trained forester.
"Fourth That wo urgo upon congress the
feasibility of concentrating tho forestry
work, and urge that tho government estab
lish a natlnnul system of forestry, espe
cially with reference to our forest reserves.
"Fifth That tho supervision of thoso
forest reserves bo placed in charge of
trained foresters, all under ono responsible
head, preferably the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, to tho end that a more
rational system of forestry may bo Intro
duced In this country."
Inasmuch as the chairman nt the com
mittee Is a close friend of Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson and u professor lu the
collego of nhich Wilson Is a department
head, It may be taken for granted that the
memorial represents In some degree his
views In regard to forestry matters.
