THE EAGER ALARMIST
Breaks Out In Davenport About Typhoid
Prevalence Here.

1EcwShouCC HChCs
A Davenport paper referring at
some length to the result of the
scientific analysis of the various
sources of water supply in Rock ISL
and, hastens to say that "Just now
there is terrible epidemic of ty-
phoid fever in Rock Island" The
purpose of this exaggeration is obvi-
Gus: it is but the plant of the alarmist
eager to do injury to Rock Island, not
so much, may be, on the part of the
paper itself which has given utter
ance to such ridiculous expressions,
as in voiciDg spirit which prevails
over there. Whether this is due
particularly now to the fact that a
great many of the people from that
side have been coming over here to
visit the Watch Tower attractions or
is intended to be detrimental in a
general sense to the city, is not
known. but the feeling of animus is
there, and it is as unreasonable as it is
unjust. Rock Island has no terrible
epidemic" of any kind, and if it had
it would not naturally look
for relief to Davenport. There
is considerable typhoid fever pre-
vailing here. but it is not epidemical
even in a mild form. In fact, if the
facts were known there are probably
no more cases in existence than there
are in Davenport at the present mo-
ment. 1t is a misfortune for any
city to be overtaken by a scourge,
unfortunate primarily because of
the necessary distress and sorrow
that it brings, and unfortunate, too,
because-whether the disease be of a
contagious or infectious nature or
not-people avoid such places.
Rock Island, nevertheless, has not
deceived the outer world. When it
has been infested with disease.
whether it be of contagion or
bordering on epidemic, it has
not sought by concealment to
imperil the stranger that might
come within its gates. This is
not so, however. with Daven-
port. At this very time, while some
of its papers are playing the alarm
ist about Rock Island, disease more
dreadful and more deadly than ty-
phoid fever is prevailing in that city.
The revelation of this fact Is not
given here as a taunt or in q spirit
of vindictiveness. These subjects,
heaven knows, are too serious to use
in such a light.
Rock Island has but sympathy and
charity for city that would will
ingly magnify for the sake of effect
the misfortunes that may befall its
neighbor.

A Great Gathering.
The grand encampment OF the

be one Of the largest, but most prom

any order that have come to Rock Isl.
and in late years. 1t is incumbent
upon the city that the occasion be
made, as have all such in the past,
one that will be of pleasing effect
and lasting impression to all who
come here as the guests of Rock Isl.
and at that time. 1t is matter OF
pride and interest to every citizen
that the event be made in every par,
a success. There is no way in which
the disposition of the people general
ly, as well as the order, can be shown
as in giving the grand officers,
who are to be here tomorrow night
a royal welcome, indicating to them
not only an appreciation of their ex'
allied station in one of the great or.
ders Of the world. but manifesting
the interest that is felt in the con
vention which the city is to have the
honor and pleasure of entertaining
in October.
Let Rock Island be prepared to
contribute and to cooperate in max
ing the event creditable to the order
here and to the city generally.
