NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
Mexico Is Being Well Protected From
a Possible Contagion Of Small
Predetermined Against
Three Places.

DR.. 3. A. Grenner, Of st. Louis, who
was called TO W~ellsville to give his
opinion az to whether there was small
pox in that city, reported this morn.
ing to the Mexico Board Of Health
that the so-called cases OF chicken
pox were well developed cases Of
small pox.
The number Of cases reported vary,
but 6 conservative estimate would
place the number OF developed cases
at seventeen.
Upon the receipt of the information
the Mexico Board of Health met and
recommended to the Council that
small pox existed in Martinsburg and
Wellsville and probably in Montgom-
cry City, q special session Of Council
was called at once and the proper or
ders were made TO quarantine Mexico
against the three towns. The quar-
antine will be thorough, even to mail
and express packages.
1t was also recommended to the
Council that the school children be
vaccinated and all precaution be taken
against a possible outbreak in this
city.
No alarm should be felt here as the
authorities are fully awake to the grav-
ity Of the situation and will do all pos
sibls to keep the clutches OF the dis
ease out OF the city.
The Mayor and the members of the
Board Of Health were deoisIve IN their
action, not only in this city, but in
Wellsville as In the latter city no
attention was being paid to the disease
and it was denied then that there was
smallpox in the place. 1t was only
after Mr.. Winscott, who had been sent
to investigate, infested that an expert
be consulted that they took steps.
