SMALL P0X AGAIN
The Dread Disease Puts in a Second
Appearance, This Time in
Livonia Neighborhood.
state Officials Are Handling the Mat
ter and 1t Is Hoped 1t May
s Be Stamped Out.

Smallpox is again prevalent in the
farming district south of US and extra
ordinary ord precautions are being taken
to prevent its spread. The seat of the
trouble is in the Cohoe neighbo rhood
IN the northern part of Livonia, and
the reports which reach this village
are to the effect that it has been
spreading in an alarming manner.
The attention of the State board of
health has been called to the trouble
and an officer of the board is on the
ground looking after the sanitary con-
dltions of the eighborhood and over
seeing the quarantine.
The disease is said to have been
brought to Livonia about the same
time as the Jennison case in Baldwin.
and like that was contracted in the
woods near Nickerson. While the
Baldwin authorities took prompt
action and established quarantine as
soon as the appearance of the dis

neighboring town were neglected, 'ow-
ing. to the opposition which developed
to the provisions of the law, and the
chances are that the authorities will
now have hard time to stamp out the
plague and incur a larger expense than
would have been necessary had prom pit
action been taken.
Yesterday we learned that the
Livonia officials claim that the disease
came from the Baldwin case two
months ago and also that the State
board charge the Baldwin board with
negligence. AS the UNION has not
been able to interview any of the in
terested parties it is unable to tell
which story is true. Dr.. Bracken. of
ST. Paul. visited the infected district
personally in company with Dr.. Whit
temore, of Elk River, and both say
that the patient examined was suffer-
ing with small pox of a pronounced
type. -.-

Pulled the Posts,

The action of Sthe village council in
removing the hitching posts in the
business part of town has called out
considera BILE criticism, and while most
of it is favorable there are several of
the business men who oppose the move
ment. They claim that it was the
work of a few merchants who have
large backyards where their custom
ers' teams can be accommodated, and
therefore their trade will not be af-
fected, while those who have no va
cant land in the rear of their stores
will lose trade by the order. There is
no doubt as to the improvement in the
sanitary conditions Of the street. Af-
ter all our heavy rains Main street has
been a mortar bed along the curb and
with the hot weather which follows
most of the showers the stencil arising
from the liquid filth is awful. Under
the new arrangement it will be posi-
bic to fix the streets so that they will
be better drained than heretofore, and
when the holes are filled there will be
no teams standing all day stamping
new holes where the water can accum-
ulate. The removal of sign posts and
overhead signs is also good thing.
The ordinance may Inconvenience a
few for time, but all will agree later
that is good thing.
The East-side is up in arms against
POundmaster Moses S. Cone and the
determination of that official not to
permit the herding of COWS inside the
city limits. Herder Mccarthy with
his hired man was fined in Judge AL
denis court on Saturday, and Sunday
a petition was circulated through the
Fifth ward asking the privilege of
herding COWS in the unsettled portion
of the ward. 1t is claimed that Mr..
Cone was the only resident of the ward
who refused to sign the paper and
the only other voter in the ward not
on the petition is man who is out of
town. In this connection it is reported
that there is movement on foot to re-
woke Cones appointment as pound
master. If the East-side aldermen are
really after his official scalp they can
probably get it.-S. Cloud Journal

the affair. The picnic will be held
two or three weeks later at some other
