Belpre Schools Closed to Prevent an Epi-
demic of the Disease.
The four year old child of D. S. Mil
ler, of Belpre, died on Sunday evening
of disease resembling diphtheria in
every way. The house was fumigated
and every precaution taken to avoid
spreading of the contagion and the

that it is not diphtheria, but to insure
safety all the Belpre schools We're
closed indefinitely.
1t will be rememb bered that the
schools at Little Hooking were closed
over a week ago on account of the di-
sease which seems to be gaining q hold
