terrible disease made its appearance in
Webster County few weeks ago. 1t ragged
disastrous!y for time and it was thought
that it had spent its fury, as no new cases
were reported fer ten days. The disease,
however, has reappeared in more vic ent
form than ever near Dixon, the county seat.
Nine new cases have also developed near

disease, one of whom is totally blind and the
other cripple for life. There have already
been more than fifty deaths At one Gene

Doctors have not been able to make a
diagnosis OF the disease. The ma. orIty are
inclined to the opinion that it is cerebro
spinal meningitis of the congestive malignant
type. The patient is taken with sharp pains
in the spine, which soon reach the brain and
are followed by violent cramps and con-

days of the year, nearly seventeen thousand
noble patriotic women of Boston went to the
