KICK ON QUARANT Inc
Jobbers Hold Big Meeting at
Commercial Club.
TELEGRAPH DR.. SWAN
Ask That Quarantine Against
Oklahoma be Raised,

A meeting of the Wichita Jobbers' and
Manufacturers association was held last
night at the Commercial club to take ac-
ton regarding the quarantine now IN
force between southern Kansas towns and
Oklahoma.
The people Of Wichita have always
been loyal to their friends and neighbors
in southern Kansas and Oklahoma, and
now feel that an unjust discrimination is
being made against Oklahoma in this
matter Of quarantine enforcement.
The Wichita Jobbers' and Manufactur
ers' association have carefully investi-
gated the so-caIled smallpox epidemic
existing throughout southern Kansas and
Oklahoma and are satisfied that the
towns of Oklahoma have cases in their
communities as well and carefully guard
ed as have the Kansas towns, and feel
that it is unjust to the people of Okla
homa to enforce special restriction
against them, to their detriment At the
meeting last night effective measures
were taken to alleviate the conditions
now existing, and among other measures
adopted, the following letter was sent to
W. B. Swan, secretary of the Kansas
state board of health signed by the en-
tire association. which presents a strong
argument in favor Of immediate attention
being given this matter of quarantine:
Wichita, Kan, Jan. 2s, 1900.
w. B. Swan, Secretary Kansas State
m
Dear Sir: We have this evening wired
you as follows: We are satisfied that the
Quarantine against Oklahoma is now IN
necessary, as conditions greatly i'm
proved
We urge immediate raising of the quar-
antine, as people Of Kansas and Okla
homa are suffering great Inconvenience
and loss under present conditions.
(Signed)
WICHITA JOBBERs' AND MANUFAC-
TURERS' ASSOCIATION.
Which We now confirm.
After investigating the matter thor
9ughiy we are satisfied that the so-caned
smallpox epidemic in southern Kansas
and Oklahoma is now rapidly subsiding
and that the various communities affect
ed now have matters well in hand. and
all cases carefully guarded. And IN
aSmuch as all business and social inter
ests are seriously affected by the present
rigid quarantine between Cowley, Sum-
ner and Harper counties and Oklahoma
that it would be justice to all concerned
II the embargo against the Oklahoma
counties could be raised at once
We are satisfied that your board will
gladly order this quarantine raised as
soon as You are satisfied that the health
of the communities will not be leopard
tied, and we cordially and earnestly in
vite and urge that you carefully investi-
gate the existing conditions at once, as
we feel confident you will find it now
wise to take the action suggested. Yours
very respectfully,
