BRIfcF MENTION.
Leaves From the Notebook of Chronicle
Reporters.
The divorce case of Jacobsen vs Jacob
sen was up before Judge Bradshaw in
chambers.
Al Bettingen has turned farmer, and
today sent a load of seed wheat out to
his ranch on 3-Mile this morning.
The concert and entertainment to bi
given in the M. E. church Wednesday,
March 6th, will be one of the best every
given here, as all , of the best musical
talent will take part.
We know of no one here who observed it,
bat "at Hood River several persons felt
it. Mr. John Parker, of that place, des
cribes it as two distinct shocks, the first
he eajsmade him think for a moment
that some one was rattling the front
door and trying to get in. This lasted
long enough for a person to have gone
down stairs and out of the house. The
second shock was both shorter and
lighter.
Plenty of Sturgeon.
The middle Columbia is just now
furnishing a large amount of sturgeon
for the Eastern markets. This once
despised shark is now selling at three or
four times as much per pound as the
once royal, but now deposed, chinook.
Thousands of pounds are sent to Fort
land on the Regulator every day, from
down river points, and some of the
fishermen are making from $30 to as
high as $90 per day. These rubber
nosed sharks (the fish, not the fisher
men) are put in refrigerator cars and
shipped East, and in passing through
e bad lands of Montana, are changed
their character, arriving in New York
s halibut, or sea bass, just as the
market happens to demand. This ver
satility on the part of the sturgeon is
what gives it a greater value than the
red fleshed salmon, which cannot travel
under an alias.
Harmon lodge, No. 4, will give its an
nual entertainment at the Baptist church
this evening. There will be a military
drill by a class of young ladies, and a
good night drill by the infant class.
Rev. L. Grey of Oregon City, will
preach next Sunday, at 10:30 a. m., in
the Lutheran chapel on Ninth street.
In the evening, at 7 :30, be preaches in
English. All friends of the Lutheran
church especially also the Scandinavians,
are cordially invited. t
The Regulator since she has been over
hauled is by long odds the handsomest
and the most tastily furnished, boat on

too, and the opening of the season indi
cates a remakably prosperous one.
Pease & Maya are having the back
portion of their immense store re
modeled. The office is being moved,
new windows cut through the back wall
and a dozen other minor improvements
made. When it is completed, antTthel
big stock now on the way is in, it will be
one of the very finest stores in Eastern
Oregon.
The East End sidewalks have been
sprinkled with carbolic acid and other
' mixtures that make a smell the like
whereof is not smelled every . day.
Moody, Filloon and Saltmarshe this
morning had a man with a sprinkling
pot scattering sheep-dip around their
places of business, reasoning that as
there must be a scab in smallpox, every
thing that would prevent scab would
therefore prevent smallpox.
The earthquake Monday - morning
seemed to be general throughout the
Northwest. The reason that it was not
more generally noted is the hour at
which it occurred, that is about 4:45.
Council Meeting.
A special meeting o'f the city council
was held at the recorder's office last
night for the purpose of taking steps to
prevent the spread of smallpox. The
full council was present, with the excep
tion of the mayor. Councilman Nolan
was elected chairman pro tern. It was
ordered that the persons in the Obarr
building, where the patient is, be re
moved with their beds and bedding to
the pest-house. On motion the commit
tee on health and police was given full
power to act in all matters necessary to
prevent the spread of the disease and
protect the public health.
On motion adjourned.
They Won't Have It.
Dufur has the smallpox scare pretty
badly. Mr. Peabody, who was working
at the Obarr house the day the case of
smallpox was discovered, went home to
Dufur, and in consequence when the
citizens there found that he had been
exposed, they quarantined him and his
family. This was a wise precautionary
measure, but there is little probability
of Mr. Peabody being infected. The
disease is contagions, it is true, before
the eruptive stage, but only so in a very
Blight degree. However, a ten-days
Quarantine, while inconvenient to Mr,
a
Peabody, will soon pass away, and then
the community will feel safe.

A Smallpox Scare.
There is naturally considerable excite
ment over a case of smallpox being in
the city, and with it much unreasoning
and unreasonable fear. Rumor, the
forked-tongued old jade, has been hark
ing on her dogs, until the 1001 tales of
Scherezade are a mere bagatelle. In
some portions of the city, according to
the tales, there are six new cases of ma
lignant, confluent smallpox ; everybody
has been exposed, and by tomorrow
night one-half the town will be engaged
n burying the other half.
The simple truth is, there is one case
df smallpox, and in the same building
pn the lower floor, the patient being up-
tairs, are six other persons, who will be
removed tonight to the pest house. So
far as known, there has been no one ex
posed Since the case was known to be
smallpox, and of those exposed before
there is little or no danger of their taking
it. The six persons in quarantine have
all been vaccinated, and with proper
care there is no need of their being an
other case.
People forget that the smallpox ex
ists nearly all the time. Puget Sound
has been having it in Almost continually
for the past six months. They also for
get that science has made wonderful
strides of late years, and that the small
pox is no longer a disease the end of
which is death. Scarlet fever and diph
theria are infinitely more deadly, and
the mild-mannered grippe more danger
ous. We do not believe there will be
another case of it; but in the meantime
the most rigid quarantine should be en
forced, and every precaution taken, to
not onlf prevent its spread, but to
stamp it out. At the same time let our
people quit trying to scare each other to
death, and in a few days the whole mat
ter will be settled.

"I guess my hat's my own! I paid for
it," snapped the young woman at the
matinee, turning round and addressing
the two men who were making audible
remarks about her towering bead-dress ;
"and I paid for my seat, too." "But
you didn't pay for all the space between
your seat and the ceiling, my dear
young lady," mildly observed the elder
of the two men. Chicago Tribune.
A number of the citizens liying on the
bluff and especially those who live with
in a few blocks of the pest house, met
the committee on police and health, at
the council chambers this afternoon
They were disposed to protest against
having the pest house used by those now
quarintined in the Obarr house. Dr,
Eshelman, chairman ot the committee,
presided and professional opinions were
given by Drs. Doane, Sutherland and
Shackelford concerning the contagious- I
ness of small pox. They all agree that a
distance of twenty feet is sufficient to
render one sate from contagion, that the
disease is not disseminated through the
air, but its germs may be carried in
clothing, etc. ' They were unanimous in
stating that the use of the pest house,
which is more than 100 feet from any
building could not in any way jeopardise
the health of anyone. It is quite prob
able they say, that none of the quaran
tined persons have the disease.
The meeting had not adjourned at this
writing, but it is a fair presumption that
the citizens on the bill will make no
further objection to the pest house being
used for the purposes for which it was
bollt.
