It was deemed expedient by the phy
sicians in charge mid tho innuy friends
of Mr. A. MaoAdam that he lie taken to
tho hospital in Portland and operated on (
to determine exactly what the dil!iculty
!b and if poRsiblo remove it. Accord- j
tngly Mr. J'.. U. 1'easH anil Win. IMIery
accompanied him last evening and he
wim ta ken to St. Vincent's hospital.

! last night, when tho following officers

making use of.liis hands for Euspenders,
and limped toward the hotel, hie con
versation was not tho most elevating
nor his visage the most pleasing.
We have published in another column
a statement taken from tho Moro Leader
concerning the small-pox scare j but al
though they may insist the disease is
"nothing but chicken-pox," it certainly
is not snflicient excuse for the lethargy
The Dalles is displaying in the matter.
the disease is con-
Fro in tho reports given by different
Store kcepcis in The Dalles, tho following
comment made by tho Heppncr-Times,
would ho applicable to our own town,
and should bo heeded by any and all
who may or may not think it applioa in
their caso:
"There are a low boys and girls in' this
city, all tho way from seven to twelve
years of age, who oro just now taking
their flrat stops towards the penitentiary
and a life of shame and degredation.
This is a broad assertion, but a truo one,
unless the parents themselves can do
something to save their littlo ones from
the ead fate which awaits them if al
lowed tocontinuo in their present course.
"Wo refer to the evil of petit larceny,
in which art some of these youngsters
are becoming adepts. Since tho holi
day goods have been placed on exhibit ,
nearly all the merchants have com
plained of small artie'es disappearing,
and cue or two of them have actually
caught the youngsters in tho act of tak
ing things from the shelves and tucking
them snugly under their cloaks or hur-
riedly shoving them into their peckets.
bo many parents take ollenso at being
told that their children are loose lingered
that tho merchants refrain from giving
the names of the youthful thieves.
"It lies within the power of the father
and mother to check this evil to a
great extent. If little Willie or Maud
comes Homo with anything new in his
or her possession, institute at once a
strict investigation, and if the goods
have not been acquired legitimately,
take little Willie and Maudie across
uur parental knee end spank about
eleven kinds of meanness out of them,
and send them right back with the
swiped articles, also with an apology to
the merchant. One dose of this medi
cine will pernaps save you irom un
told agony and disgraca later on."

made an examination. The disease,
whatever it is, has much the appearance
of small-pox, but carries with it no odor
nor itching sensation and is very light ;
so much fo that patients fcohVd at the
idea of a quarantine. There are about
seven houses quarantined and twenty
cses reported. The board of health is
using every precaution to prevent its
spread, and even went so far as to flue
those who broke quarantine rules. A
pett house was built outside tho city,
but only one patient, who had no one to
caie for him, was placed therein. Mt.
Pike says it has been umushig to him to
hear of "the hundreds of caces reported

Tho Moro Leader has the following
regarding the Emallpox Ecare at that
place:
A report has spread all over the coun
try that wo havosmallpox here in Moro.
Injustice to the town we wish to con
tradict such falsehood and state there is
no smallpox here. Our doctors are very
pronounced in their opinion that the
disease is not smallpox, anil no doubt
they understand their business.
The citizens held a meeting In the
opera house on Saturday night to ascer
tain the wishes of tho people as to the
continuance of the quarantine of fami
lies affected with tho epidemic cow
prevalent in town. After fully discus
sing the matter a vote was taken, with
the result that a large majority stood for
strict quarantine. It is not the object
of the board of health to work a hardship
on those who aro so unfortunate ns to bo
taken with the malady, but every person
of common Eense will see that it is their
duty to take proper precautions to pre
vent the epread of tho disease, and it is
to be hoped that our citizens will give
the authorities their nearly support in
any measure they may take for the
public health. It was wisely suggested
on Saturday evening that cliiiuren 10
confined to theirown yards and premises
for a couple of weeks. This measure is
surely not a hardship, and could be
easily cnloiced by parents. We would
also "suggest that parties keep from
visiting us much as possible for the next
few wc-eko. If these simple precautions
re taken, mid the board of health up
