rilXlNQfl, Mont., June 24 To the Edi
tor of the Bee: Public opinion In trs
United Stetes Is getting the rsnge of tuber
culous. The cat Is out of the bag at
st. Tuberculosis Is curable and prevent
able to a degree undreamed of a few years
ago. There yet lingers In the lap of truth
the lie that strong drink end consumption
III off the undesirable cltlsens who have
ess than the normal resisting power of the
Yankee.
Occasionally a medical back number Is
discovered In the act of admitting Into
general hospital for treatment a case
of this communicable disease called con
sumption. It makes mighty little differ
ence to the victim of consumption where
e is nut: so lone as he Is not given a
permanent Immunity batlt tn outside air.
Any other plun of handling hlra Is simply
nother way around to the graveyard.
The writer has lived In a family that
was decimated by this white plague of
clvtlUatlon. He has been the ' medical
adviser of other families and prescribed
bath tube of ood liver oil. No wonder the
course of consumption In such cases was
as typical as the course of true love.
Just now we have the medical eye on a
family that la making a gallant struggle
against sure death. The family consists
of father and mother, and three daugh
tare.
The parents are healthy people. One of
the daughters contracted consumption In
the publlo schools. Soms Intelligent peo
pie still doubt the possibility of such a
development coming out of the womb of
the American educational system. They
Insist It Is an Indictment against the pub
llo sohool system to whisper that kind of
charge. What oomea to pass If those
who speak so, speak by the card?
Every human unit needs a certain amount
of breathing space. Education la a com
pulsory process. And It Is deservedly so:
but the sohool house Is ths magnet which
attracts children from contaminated homes
Just as powerfully as from thoss whero
sanitation and hygiene do their perfect
work. Make a child a common carrier of
consumption and hs Is condemned to a
lifetime . of disability. In the course of
time he may graduate from the local high
sohool and pass on to one of the state
stltutfom for higher education. His case
of consumption makes him a human bot
tie of poison. The Idea that he has a
hermetically sealed stopper In the bot
tle excepting when he coughs
spits and sweats la exploded. Every In
dividual who comes Into his environment
will be exposed to contamination by breath
ng the air which has passed through his
lungs, and been charged with the first
oause of consumption. One of the daugh
ters In the family . mentioned above spent
year In a Montana state Institution and
then came home to die of consumption. She
eft her habitat at ths state Institution
Infected; and capable of reproducing the
disease In the body of the next occupant.
This Is the naked truth unless the state
attended promptly and rigidly to powerful
fumigation. The second daughter went to
sn Institution In the Mississippi valley to
finish her education. At the end of the
first year she suddenly found her mouth
full of blood after the exertion of run
ning rapidly up stairs. She Is now run
nlng a Marathon race with consumption
If her medical adviser understands the
nature of the disease she may yet be re
stored to health; but no Insurance com
pany would take a risk on her life.
Nebraska owns and operates some splen
did high grale educational plants. Nebra
skeese and Nebraskanders are like the
rest of humaalty. They may contract con
sumption. In case they do, and Infect
dwelling spots In a college town who fuml
gates the Incubator after the original oo
cupant has gone home to get well or die
on the Installment plan?

Quarantine at Pender.
PENDER, Neb., June . To the editor
of The Bee: I should like to have you
publish tbe following in answer to the
one sent you from here as published In
the Saturday Bee, June 26, In regard to
smallpox In Pender:
The Bell Telephone people had smallpox
having ona of the severest cases during
this epidemic and had been under quaran
tine thirty-five days from ths time
was first Instituted. On Thursday, June
24, they called me In, asking when they
could be released. As there were some
scales still on the person of one of them
I told them that I thought they should re
main In quarantine until the last of the
week. Saturday 26, or until the first of
the following week, at which time
thought we could release them. For some
unaccountable reason ths physician, Dr.
Buls, who had been attending them,
called up the State Board of Health by
telephone, and they told him to take down
the quarantine. This was done by the
state board without consulting the local
board of health In any way. Our board
of health ordered the quarantine card
again put up. which was done by the
marshal, who is a member of the board,
whereupon Dr. Buls tore down the card,
tearing up the card and throwing It into
the street. We again put up another card,
which he again tore down, tearing it Into
pieces and throwing it into the street
Our board of health then called up the
State Board of Health and asked htm
why It was that they were Interferln
with the action of our board of health In
an epidemic of smt-llpox that we liad for
sometime been trying to stamp out. He
stated that what he had done was
Ignorance of any trouble and that th
state Inspector, Mr. Wilson, would come
snd adjust the same. He came on Frl
j day, June 26. and stated In a public meet
1 Ing well represented by cltirens of Pender
that the local board of health were Justi
fied In continuing this quarantine as they
had done, and recommended, as it was the
last of the week, that after the local board
had properly fumigated the place and dis
infected the patients the quarantine could
be raised. Friday night the place was dis
infected and Saturday the card was taken
down

GARRY LOOKS LIRE WINNER
Cincinnati Magnate Popular with
Elks for Exalted Ruler.
FIRST CONTINQEJrr GOES WEST
Moat of Them Rxpreea Choice for
Herrmann, Though They Like I
Sammla, the Sioux City
Candidate.
The first of several special trains of
Elks passing through Omaha enroute to
the annual convention of the brotherhood
t Ixs Angeles arrived In Omaha over the
Milwaukee at :40 Wednesday morning.
The train was chartered by the Tonkers
(N. T.) lodge, and hsd on board members
of the Elks lodges In Buffalo, Rochester,
Albany, Syracuse, New York, Brooklyn and
other cities of New Tork state. There
were in all over 100 persons on the train,
which was composed of seven Pullmans
and a dining car.
A stop of three hours was made In
Omaha, the local order of the Elks fur
nishing entertainment for the visitors while
they were here. Some took automobile
rides about the city, but most of them
spent the three hours it. visiting the Elks'
headquarters and In seeing the downtown
district of Omaha.
Nearly all the lodges represented on the
special train were on record as favoring
Oarry Herrmann, the Cincinnati base ball
magnate, for the office of grand exalted
ruler. Only one or two of the lodgee had
unlnstrucled delegates.
D. Curtis Qano, delegate from the
Rochester lodge No. 24, said nearly all the
lodges In the east favored Herrmann for
the head office.
I am Instructed to vote for Herrmann,"
said Mr. Gano, "and so are practically all
the delegates on this train. It la my opin
ion ho will be elected.
Santnils a Fine Fellow.
'J. U. Sammis of Iowa, who Is also a
candidate for the position of exalted ruler,
Is a flno fellow. He Is a personal friend of
mine and I would like to see htm get the
Job, but the east seems to be nearly solid
fur Herrmann, and I believe the Cincin
nati man will win out. He Is backed by a
strong organization and It will take a
great movement to beat him.
I believe Detroit will get the conven
tion In 1910. We New Tork Elks favor that
city and from what I have heard the rest
of the eastern lodges are for the Michigan
city."
J. P. McCann of New Tork City, J, T.
Warner of Pottsmouth, Pa.; R. Trultt of
New Tork, W. Bernstein of Albany,
Charles Reed of Rochester, B. B. Davis of
Buffalo and Dr. J. R. Flanntgan of New
York were among the prominent Elks on
the train. Among the women passengers
was Miss Grace Phillips, a grand opera
singer of Englewood, N. Y.
Most of the Elks on the train were ac
companied by their wives.
The New York Elks expect to visit Yel
lowstone park and other places of In
terest in the west before the convention
oonvenes, on July 11. A long stop will be
made at Denver. Among the other nlacea
that will be visited will be Colorado

Dirigible Goes to
Toledo to Fly
Too Small and Balloon Ascensions
Cease for the Present at
Fort Omaha.
The United States dirigible balloon No. L
after two unsuccessful free flights and
several captive flights at Fort Omaha, has
been deflated, dismantled and sent to To
ledo, O., with 200 hydrogen gas tubes.
Lieutenants J. G. Winter and O. A. Dick
inson accompanied the airship and will en
deavor to fly the machine at Toledo dur
ing the military tournament there, begin
ning Monday.
It is the opinion of many of tbe Signal
corps officers that the dirigible la too
small for actual experimental work. The
balloon has a capacity of 20.000 cubla feet,
but with the engine, propeller, skele'ton car
and Its own weight, is of too buoyant
capacity to permit much successful work
being done with It, except under the most
favorable conditions of wind and humidity.
These conditions did not prevail at Fort
Omaha during the stay of the balloon here
No more balloon experiments will be xin-
dertaken at Fort Omaha at the present.

balloon to take the place of the one de

THREE VOYAGERS ARE SAFE
Boys GolnaT Down River tn Home

Miles a Day.
Parents and friends of William Rose, Carl
Torson and Robert Llndbcrg, the three
Omaha boys who sre selling down tte Mis
souri river in a f atboal. had all fears
for the safety of the navigators' safety al
layed by the receipt of a letter from Rose
stating that the boat had reached Kansas
City.
High water on the river In the vicinity
of Kansas City and the failure of the boys
to write for over five days had led their
parents to fear that they might have lost
their lives or met with some other accident.
The letter said the boys were making on
the average eighty miles a day despite
the fight they were compelled to make
against the high water.
The boys left Kansas City Tuesdsy nlflit

Shriver Levies
on Houses Built
or in Process
Enlarges Assessment Boll, bnt His
Coarse Will Be Subjected to
Legal Test.
County Assessor Shriver is succeeding In
enlarging his aKaengment roll. He Is as
sessing houses for whose construction build
ing permits have been issued, ' whether
such houses have been built or not at the
time the assessment Is made. Mr. Shriver
says his course is no precedent, but his
predecessor, II. D. Reed says It is new to
htm; he did not pursue it.
Victor R. McLucas, whose new home al
Forty-second and Harney streets, was as
sessed before It was built, and is not yet
completed or occupied, wilt subject the
proposition to a tent of the law as a mat
ter of Information and principle. He Is an
attorney and is of the opinion Mr. Shriver's
action, while conducive to an enlarged as
kessment roll, is not legal.
Mr. Shriver lias been diligent In his ac
tivity to assex such property and has had
deputies out on scouting tours.
"The assessment rolls will show about
GOO new houses built since April 1, some
of them completed and some not," said
Mr. Bhrlver. "It would be unfair not to
assess these houses and let people live in
them without paying a tax on vthe prop
erty, especially when some of thein were
completed within thirty days and a short
time after the anscsor made his rounds.
"The law gives us the right to assess
this uncompleted property, all listing to
be done before July 1. When the property
Is not completed the asm uxor unes his own
Judgment and makes return of 'what he
consldors the valuation would be by July
1. If this return is not satisfactory the
owner of the property can appear before
the Uoaid of Equalization and protest.
This has been done for year."
