Judge Green a ruling In the vaccination
case, received here yesterday, wholly sus
tains the Board of Health and orders the
Board of Education to at once enforce the
order relative to vaccination Issued by the
Board of Health. The order further pro
vides that vaccination must be as required
by the rules of the state and local Boards
of Health, namely, external and not by the
Internal method.
The Important part of the decree Is as
follows:
It Is ordered, adjudged and decreed that
the Independent school district of Council
Bluffs and the board of directors thereof
henceforth and Immedately exclude from
entrance Into and attendance upon the pub
lic schools and buildings thereof of said
school district, all children, teachers and
Janitors who do not present evidence of
vaccination in tho manner and as provided
and required by the rules of the State
Board of Health and the two resolutions
by the Board of Health Of the city of
Council Bluffs set forth in said cross-petition,
but the vaccination of said children,
teachers and Janitors, If requested by them,
shnll be done by the health officer of said
H'Kird of Health, free of charge in all
raavjt where snid persons show to the sat
isfaction of said nenlth officer that they,
or the parents of said children, are unable
to pay for th.i same; and no child, teacher
or Janitor, who has had smallpox shall be
excluded from said schools or buildings
because of non-vnccinntlon; nnd, provided
further. tha nny varty claiming that by
reason of physical allmr-it, disease or con
dition, thut such vaccination Is inadvisa
ble or unsafe to him or her. may apply to
the health officer of said local board for a
certificate to that effect upon examination
and that such examination and certificate
'if Issued shall be free of charge in all
cast's where the party or the parents of
the child are unable to pay for same, and
when Issued shall exempt the Aurty to
whom such certificate Is Issued .;tn the
provisions of this order.
The decree provides that the clcrtt of the
court shall issue a mandatory writ com
manding the Board of Education to Imme
diately perform and execute nil the re
quirements of the decree nnd that the writ
shall be served upon the board nnd the in
dividual members by tho sheriff. The costs
of the case are taxed against the school
district.
Attorney N. M. Pusey, representing the
Board of Health, did not ask for the Is
suance of the mandatory writ yesterday
so ns to give tho Board of Education nn
opportunity to voluntarily comply with the
decree.
Hoard of Kduenflnn Compiles.
At a special meeting last night of the
Board of Education It was decided that .t
had no alternative but to obey Judge
Green's decree, and Superintendent Clifford
was Instructed to take the necessary steps
on the reconvening of the city schools
Monday morning to enforce the order of
the Board of Health.
While deciding that ft had no alternative
but to obey the decree of the court, tho
board was of tne opinion that an appeal
should be taken in order that the ques
tion might he definitely settled by the su
preme court. This the honrd believed ought
to be done for the good of the community.
This question, however, was referred to
Attorney J. J. Stewart, who rfprcsentcd
the board at the hearing before Judge
Green, for him to report on at the regular
meeting of the bonrd next Tuesday night.
As Mr. Stewart last night gave It as his
opinion that the case ought to be appealed,
there Is little question as to what his repoTt
will be Tuesday night.
The consensus of opinion of the members
of the board as expressed last night at
the meeting was that the result of enfor
cing the order of the Board of Health will
be to thoroughly demoralize the public
schools of tho city. Superintendent Clif
ford said he figured there were about 2.o)
pupils who hnd not been vaccinated and
of these a large proportion would undoubt
edly refuse to comply with the order, their
parents being opposed to vaccination In any
form. Then also the question of the method
of vaccination would arise and litigation
would ensue, as it was well understood
that the advocates of the internal or homeo
pathic method of vaccination hnd retained
an attorney to commence injunction pro
ceedings to restrain the Board of Educa
tion from debarring any child from the
schools vaccinated by this method. At
torney Stewart stated that he had been In
formed that these proceedings would be
commenced either Monday or Tuesday.
Superintendent Clifford stated that the
enforcement of the vaccination order would
affect nearly all the members of the high
school graduating class, as but a few of
them had complied with the order so far,
nnd that even to now comply with the or
der would necessitate them keeping out of
school for nt least a week, thus interrupt
ing their studies for that tlm. Member
Shugart stnted be had been informed that
the graduating class had determined If
any of Its members were debarred from
school to walk out In a body. This, how
ever, Superintendent Clifford said he be
lieved would not occur nnd he hoped that
all of the class would obey the order and
ba vaccinated.
THOMAS CLOE HIS I.Ot TALK
Oeeaplea Three Pays Fresenlln
Dirni' Case to Jury.
Attorney C. S. Thomas of Colorado com
pleted the opening argument for the de
fense in the Doyle-Burns case yesterday
afternoon after speaking three dys. His
closing words were a scathing arraignment
of Doyle's attempt to secure that which
Mr. Thomas argued he had not the slight
est claim to and nn eloquent arpenl for a
verdict for the defendant, James Burns. In
thanking the Jury for the patience with
which It had listened to him, Mr. Thomas
snld he had spoken longer in this case
than he had ever done In any case before
during his practice of thirty years In the
courts.
Mr. Thomas continued yesterday to take
up the facts and evidence In the case in
chronological order, as he had done Thurs
day. He called attention to, the stock
certificates showing that Doyle had re
ceived every one of them. He called atten
tion to the dividend checks showing that
he had received them all from Kate Burns
as trustee and referred at length to the
correspondence of 1W, showing that every
demand made by Doyle had been complied
with. He spoke of the sale by Doyle of
his stock to Frank Peck, and how after
Doyle had contracted to sell Peck 340.000
shares he was only able to deliver about
330.000 shares, nnd as a forfeit paid Peck
$500, and yet made no demand for tho stock
which he later claimed from Burns and
brought suit for.
Mr. Thomas' closing words bordered
closely on the dramatic, and the large
audience In the court room listened to him
with wrapt attention. "Mr. Doyle," he
said, "says all he wants is Justice, and
God grant that he may get It In this court.
Never was there a suit so utterly devoid
of every sense of right and Justice as this
suit brought by James Doyle, against
James F. Burns. Why did Doyle bring
stilt here and not in the state where be
lives and the people familiar with the
facts in the case live? There must have
been a reason, and that reason Is because
he dared not. Should he win this case. I
dare to prophesy that his Ill-gotten gains
will be a life-long curse to him."
Congressman Smith will follow Mr.
Thomns this morning In making the clos
ing argument for the defense. He ex
pects to occupy the attention of the Jury
up to the adjournment of court oil Monday,
so that Mr. Baldwin will not be able to
begin the closing argument for the plain
tiff until Tuesday morning.

County Board Applies Pruning Knife
to Claims.
The Board of Supervisors at yesterday's
session rejected all bills from boards of
township trustees for establishing quar
antine In cases of contagious diseases. The
board took the stand that the lnw makes
It the duty of the henlth physician and
township clerk to quarantine such cases.
In accordance with the practice which has
heretofore prevailed township trustees have
held a meeting and passed resolutions de
claring the quarantine of such cases of
contagious diseases as may have been re
ported to them and then file their claims
with the supervisors for compensation for
attending such meetings. What action the
township trustees will take In regard to
the rejection of their claims remains to
be seen.
In checking over the coal orders the
board discovered that a number of cases
where paupers receiving from the county
a stated monthly allowance had also been
receiving regular allowances of coal. The
board In making the stated monthly al
lowances did so with the understanding
that they were to cover everything and
that' additional orders for coal were not
to be allowed. It Was decided to confer
with the overseer of the poor before taking
any action In the matter.

Lectnre on Christian Science.
Despite the Inclemency of the weather
Blcknell Young, the Chrlstian Science lec
turer of Chicago, was greeted last night at
the New theater by an audience of over 7(0
persons, of whom at least 200 were from
Omnha. Mr. Young proved himself an in
teresting speaker and his audience was evi
dently largely in sympathy with his teach
ings. He treated his subject dispassionately
and without making any extravagant state
ments. Defining Christian Science he said
Christian Scientists believe most absolutely
In Christ. They accept the teachings of
Christ Jesus' without reservation,. They
declurc- that his command to heal the sick
Is as binding as that to preach the gospel,
and that there is no evidence that it was
Intended for His time only. It was scientific
religion that healed the sick In the time of
Jesus and His disciples, and it does the
same work now, and must always do- it,
since His life and work were an example
for all time, and His method wns a univer
sal and Imperishable heritage of man.
Christian Science, he said, was not ar
rayed against those who believed In the
old schools of medicine. Christian Scientists
are In no wise arrayed against those who
believe In materia mefllca. They were all
believers In It themselves until they found
In Christian Science a more efficacious way
of healing. This way they believe to he the
best one. because it is God's way, as shown
in the works of Jesus.
In closing he -paid an eloquent tribute to
Mrs. Eddy, to whom he said Is entirely due
the place Christian Science has in the
world's thought today.

SAINTS l)Ct S TEMPORAL I. W
Proposal to Tnrn All Surplus Earn
lull Into Church.
LAMONI, la.. Arrll H.-(Speclal.)-Presl-dent
Richard C. Evans of London, Canada,
occupied the chair when the Latter Day
Saints met in general assembly. No abate
ment Is observable in the Interest taken by
the members of the conference in the busi
ness which conies before It.
The resolution which was proposed yes
terday, consideration of which was made a
special order for 2:15 today, aroused much
animated debate, speeches upon the topic
being limited to fifteen minutes. This
measure affects the temporal law of the
church and would provide that each mem
ber of the church should use of his Income
for his personal ami family use only the
minimum amount necessary and turn over
nil and oIhivc this amount to the church
for tho benefit of all. It is called a tem
poral law, but partakes most emphatically
of the spiritual,- for none can submit him
self to this law unless spirituality has be
come so much a part of his nature that he
can truly love his neighbor ns himself,
which Christ Fald was the whole law.
In the discussion It came out that many
members of the church have compiled with
this law nlready, there being filed In the
offices of the various bishops a great num
ber of complete Inventories of all property
owned by Individuals, and for several
years offerings, consecrations and surplus
means have been pouring Into the church
treasuries. Theso all point to an early
establishment of Zlon, where all Its In
habitants shall labor together for the com
mon good that they may be of one heart
and mind nnd dwell In righteousness, with
no poor among them. Thls'is the Ideal con
dition to which this peculiar people are as
pirins. Further discussion of this grave
question was deferred until tomorrow nfter

OLD AS THE FROWNING HILLS
Dnnko Games Mure Than 2..VKI Years

Nowadays.
"Doctor" Olomon Zar-Dusht Hanish, who
Is trying to introduce the 1'ersian sun wor
shiping idolatry Into New York, gathered
an audience recently of 150 women and five
men In Carnegie Lyceum. There he ex
pounded the weird und extraordinary prin
ciples of his so-called mystic cult, and Inci
dentally proclaimed himself as a tllvine
prophet.
It was disclosed during the afternoon that
Hanish has not only numed himself after
the first Persian confidence man who ever
coaxed shekels out of people on religious
grounds, but thut he is using the same
methods that his namesake used 2,Du0 years
ago that is to say, In KM B. C.
Hanish la anxious to be known as the
modern Zuroaster. He told his audience so.
Now, Zaroaster was, In Persian, Zar-Dusht,
and the Idolatry that he founded the Pero
Iranian cult Is the same kind of sun
worshiping thut Hanish Is trying with
success to get a lot of New York society
women to adopt. Three or four times it
was nearly wiped out in Persia; does not
flourish there much now, but Hanlxn finds
that it is mighty easy to t'unsplant it Into
this modern city.
"I am Hanish, the Sun God Prophet," was
one of his announcements. He was attired
In a flowing and very ornate robe and wore
a hundsome solid gold chain, studden with
diamonds, about his neck. The inuke-up
probably cost several thousand dollars.
The self-styled Ambassador Extraordi
nary from His Highness the Sun spoke on
various topics, flitting from one to another
with the bllthesomenesa of a butterfly. At
one part of his speech he paused and swung
around to the topic of debtor and creditor.
"People should pay their debts," he said,
wagging his head sagely and looking at no
body In particular.
The bfjtweli-d expounder of a dcscrcdlted
creed condescended to permit those present
to put questions to him. In answer to one
he said suavely:
"Yes, being a believer In Mazdaznan re
ligion I am Immune from all diseases or
afflictions of uny kind.''
Thoughts of cerebro-Mplnul meningitis
rushed mudly through the brain of a pro
saic dry goods merchant, who, because his
wife hysterically enthused ov'er Mr. Ha
nish, decided to take In the show out of
curiosity.
Mr. Hanish announced with a benevolent
air that he "wished to bless all good
things." The audience looked supremely
pleused at this.
Mr. Hanish took hlms-lf far mors seri
ously than the mundane, calculating dry
goods merchant did.

TALKING OF BIG MERGE
Nothing Poiitive Can Be Obtained as to
Plan cf Union Pacific,
NEW DEAL FOR THE GREAT NORTHERN
I'lan Said to lip on Foot to I'luce
Property with Company to
Socoerd Northern
geearltien.
NEW YORK, April 14. It was impos
sible today to obtain either authoritative
continuation or denial of the report that
the Villon Pacific Railroad company Is to
take over the New Y'ork Central and the
Chicago & Northwestern railroad and that
a recapitulation scheme involving the Issue
of bonds to the extent of $?90,tW,000 Is to
be carried out. No official of either the
Union I'acillc or the New Y'ork Central
would discuss the matter and banking;
houses allied with the two roads also were
very reserved. Unijn Tactile stock was
a leader In the market fluctuations, but its
activity was said to be due to the strength
of '-the Northern Securities stock rather
than to the New York Central rumors.
Tho rlso In tho No.thcrn Securities stock
was caused by reports that the Northern
Securities company would benefit by an
Increased issue of Great Northern stock.
This was said today to be incorrect. In
stead It was said that the plan is to give
Great Northern stockholders, the North
ern Securities being the principal stock
holder in that company, a bonus in the
shape of new stock in a corporation which
will own and develop the Great Northern
properties. This plan, It' was figured out,
would give each share of Northern Se
curities stock $:9.86 In the new company's
shares. Union Pacific, through Its holding
of Northern Securities stock, would receive
a large block of the new shares under the
plan If carried out.

A 'W Ise llou.
At a small town near l'.gg Harbor in
New Jorsoy. says the Journal of Zoophlly,
the following occurrence took place re
cently: A man with a teum of horses
and a dog stopped at a house to transact
some business, leaving his horses unfast
ened. When he came out the horses and
dog had disappeared. He at nm v instituted
a search nnd, the neighbors aiding him,
went over the roads In every direction,
but found no trace of the missing nnlmals.
He finally became convinced that they
were stolen.
LHirlng two or three days he wns de
viling what means to take to recover
tlieni, when the dog, which had not been
seen before, appeared at hts house seeming
almost frantic from hunger. They gavo
him food, but as soon ns he was satisfied
off lie went barking violently as It scorn
ing to draw attention to, his movements.
They concluded to follow lilm.
He led them to a forest some distance
away, where they found the horses stulled,
the wagon having been caught between
two trees so that It could not be moved.
Tho horses hnd gnawed the bark off the
trees and eaten everything of a vcgetablo
nature within reach. They appeared al
most exhausted from hunger, but It wns
not too lato to save them. Tho faithful
dog had accompanied them when they
strayed away, and bad waited to watch
over them, hoping thut relief would come,
until he became so hungry that he re
turned home, Inducing them-, by his bnrk
lng, to follow him, when he started forth
again to resume his charge.
HARDSHIPS INDRYEST MAINE
Efforts of Philanthropic nootlegger
to Itelleie a Chronic
Thirst.
For over a week now Maine has been
as dry as the proverbial bone, all on ac
count of the tilurgis bill, which passed
the legislature on Thursday, March 16, and
which provided for the strict enforcement
of the prohibitory law. The bill authorised
the governor to appoint three conimlsslon
era in each county to see that the law Is
properly enforced, and so it was not ab
solutely necessary for the sheriffs to bo
any more strenuous than they have been
theretofore, but most of them, either for
political or other reasons, decided to carry
out the law to the Utter. Consequently
dealers and saloonkeepers had bnly a short
time to got their goods out of the state.
Of course this dryness has (riven rise to
many funny happenings, and has made
Maine the butt of many a Joke.
As soon as Sheriff Pennell began his
active campaign In Portland, and all the
saloons and kitchen barrooms were closed,
the pocket pcddlors began to swarm about
the city. Theso petty tradesmen In "booze"
carry pint and half-pint bottles of whisky
concealed in their clothes, and sell to
itinerant customers cither by the bottle
or drink. They rea.i a fabulous profit,
sometimes selling the poorest grades of
whisky at ti a pint, or 26 to 30 cents a
drink. Their methods of carrying the stuff
are ingenious, and on one man who was
recently searched were found fifteen quarts
of liquor. He had specially constructed
pockets In his underclothes, his vest,
trousers, Jacket and ulster, and even car
ried a half pint In his hat. He was, how
ever, an exceptionally greedy one. Many
of them manufacture their so-called whisky
out of alcohol, brown sugar and water,
and one or two drinks of the concoction
is enough to give the oldest toper a horri
ble caae of delirium tremens.
The way that they obtain customers, and
especially the manner In which they gull
strangers Is amusing. The most successful
pocket peddlers are generally associated
with some nicely dressed chap of good ad
dress, who carries no liquor himself. This
"capper" walks along the street until he
sees some likely victim. If he be a stranger
(and these shrewd fellows rarely mistake
one) the "capper" walks up to him and
politely Inquires for some mythical street.
Of course the stranger cannot direct him,
but as they walk along they generally drift
Into conversation, which the "capper," if
he thinks well, cleverly directs to the
liquor question. They laugh and chat over
ths absurd prohibition law, and then the
"capper" generally unbosoms himself, some
thing like this:
"To tell the truth I was looking for such
and such a street because I heard of a
place where you could get a nice little
drink on that street. I'm sure It's quite
near here, and If you'll Join me we'll go
down and have a quiet taste."
Of course tne "capper" leads his victim
down a side street, and as soon as they
are well along In the shndow of the build
ings a smooth looking chap accosts llmm
with: "Perhaps I know what you gen
tlemen are looking for." Of course they
til smile, retire to an alleyway and take
another kind of a "smile," the "capper"
buying the first drink, after which opera
tion he goes after another victim. New
York Tribune.
