THE SMALL PoX.

The small pox in Moline has been check
ed, as the number of cases is still limited to
seven, with no prospect that it will spread
to any great extent. Rock Island and
Davenport remain free from the disease,
and as every precaution has been taken in
the two cities to prevent the introduction
Of the disease, vaccination having been
generally observed, it is thought that the
malady will be confined to Moline
Just how the disease originated in the
City of Mills" is a question which has
not yet been satisfactorily answered. One
theory is that it was communicated to the
barber who died from its effects, by Gus
toner who recently returned from St. Paul.
A second theory is that the disease was
communicated to some rag pickers in the
paper mill by q cargo of rags received from
Chicago. 1t was on this hypothesis that
the paper company recently destroyed a
large amount of such rags, believing that
they contained germs of the contagious
malady.
The most general mode Of communicate

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

This morning the public schools COM
menced their second session after a two
weeks vacation, in honor of the holidays.
The most prominent feature of comment
of the schools this morning was the observ-
ence of the order of the Board of Education,
requiring all scholars to show a physician
certificate of vaccination before they were
allowed to take their places in their res
pective rooms. The large majority of
children had obeyed the instructions and
could testify to the fact by swollen arms
in addition to the requisite certificates.
In few cases the necessary document
had been lost or misplaced, and the child
rem were sent home to recover the
same. A small number had not complied
with the order, and they were at once sent
with instructions to visit a physician at
once.
1t is fully expected that by the precau-
tons taken, there will be no necessity to
close the schools even if the disease makes
it's appearance in this city.

ANOTHER RUM0R.

A story became current last Saturday
that two of the inmates of the jail had
been taken down with small pox, and the
same authority stated that an attempt was
made to keep the affair quiet.
Sheriff Ankrum this morning stated thai
two of the prisoners w. Burton and d
Coleman were sick, but that their indis
position resulted ffom vaccination an6
was not caused by any contagious disease
1t is from this fact that the rumor start
ed, and the above statement is made tc
show the exact circumstance and also to
prove the fallacy of the report.
The prisoners have never been exposed
to small -pox; there is not single case OF
that disease in Rock Island, and there is
no reason to apprehend that there will be
a case in this city the present winter

ANOTHER VERSION.

DR. Carter is authority for the statement
that the wound received by w Eiglehart
his sister-in-law, Miss Jennie Jones, was
the result of an accident, and was not in
territorial. 1t appears that Eiglehart was
teasing the young lady, and in fun she
raised the knife and in some manner IN
fiicted the wound in his right arm. The
injury is not of serious character, and
the parties to the affair regret that the
story became current that it partook of the
nature of malicious act.

sion of the affair is given publicity,

TELEGRAPH TOLL.

The new telegraph rates have been distrib-
uted to the various offices, and are now in
effect. A large reduction has been made
on the state rules, especially in the extreme
western states. In addition to these state
rates special rates are made for all the
larger cities. For instance the Louisiana
rate is rs cents per ten words, while the
special rate to New Orleans is but so cents.
The Iowa rate is so cents, but the special
to Burlington, Davenport and other cities
is but % cents.
In the future there will be no half fare
rates for night messages, as has hitherto
been the case. The rate will be generally
about 90 cents lower than the day rate
with a decrease in the rate of single words
over ten.
