The information here is that 1t is Nc
Henry's money which is offered a wager
for a match race between Pixley and Alix.
McHenry believes the former can win,
60 other good judges, such as Colonel Con-
ley, of Chicago, who, at Nashville, offered
to bet s., 600, $4,000 or $1,000 that Pixley

that McHenry is Offering the money prob

MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. H-Maggie Sullivan,
aged nine years, died at the smallpox hospi-
tai last night. Edna Mcdowell, aged four
teen, is the first case that has developed
since Friday, the 9Th She was taken TO
the hospital. She resides in the infected dis
trict, south Of the railroads. The informa-
ton furnished the Journal on Thursday that
a woman was found walking the streets
with heavy veil concealing her face, which
was said to be badly broken out with small
pox, and that several cases had been dis
covered in families who were concealing the
fact, is erroneous, and does the city, and
especially the health officers, injustice. The
only fact of that kind which was discovered
was the Grossman case. This woman had
the disease, and the family succeeded in sup
pressing the information in order TO keep her
from going to the hospital: She
was at once removed to the hospital
with all other members of the family;
except James, who was placed in the guard
house. to remain twenty-one days, when
he will be vigorously prosecuted for failure
to report the case.
Muncie business men are being greatly
damaged by the prevalence OF the pest, and
misrepresentation only makes the suffering
worse. All the cases are now at the nos
pitfalls, nearly two miles from the city, and
there is no danger from the disease, for a
week past, outside the infected district.
