The health of our people is of first
Importance, and the smallpox in
Wheeling, which has broken out
should stimulate our town council
and board of health to exercise all
preeaution to prevent the disease
from getting into our town, and
what is true of this town is true of
all of the towns in the county along
the Ohio River Railroad. Numbers
of our people go to Wheeling every
day, and large numbers of Wheel
ing people come here every day.
Getting rid of the sinking hog pens,
and a general cleaning up of the
town, would help matters consider
ably. Cold weather will soon be
upon us, and is a great help in main
tanning and spreading of this nasty
disease, 1t can be kept out of all
our towns if the proper precautions
are taken in time.

morning that the news of the troops be-

the strikers, and violence was averted
for the time being.
He regarded the outlook as very
grave, as the men are in desperate
mood.
While the authorities are reticent,
there is unusual hustle and activity at
the State House and the gatling gun
located here has been made ready for
immediate use.
This afternoon J. w. Lawless wired
the Governor that troops were not
needed, but other advices forcibly con-
tradict this statement
Sheriff Effer informed the authorities
that in case of violence he would be un-
able to cope with the strikers.

pared to embark at a moments notice.
