Broken Out Among Laborers on
Creston-Murray line.
Des Aioines, May 4.-In spite of the
denials sent out from there, it is now
known that smallpox has broken out
In the railroad camps along the double
tracking between Creston and Murray,
now in course of construction. Several
OF the camps have been quarantined
and 1t is feared railroad work in that
vicinity will be seriously impeded. A
num0er OF cases are reported in one OF
the camps just east Of Creston and it
Is under close quarantine. Arrange
ments are being made by the health Of
icers to take the afflicted to fever hos
pitfalls as soon 40 the symptoms of the
disease present themselves. A .epre-
sentative Of the Burlington construc-
tion department said to reporter yes
terday: Il do not think the disease
will interfere with the double tracking.
The cases are Of a mild form and do not
seem to be 80 acutely contagious as is
usual in the case OF smallpox. But one
I or two have been stricken with the
plague SO far, and 1t is thought that by
rigid measures looking to sanitation
the spread OF the disease can be pre-
vented -

Des Moines, May 4.-Of1cial figures,
given out by the secretary of the state
executive council, show net increase
of over 200 miles of railroad in the state
during the past year. This is a much
greater increase than has been shown
in the history OF Iowa railroads since
the early eighties. 1t is attributed to
the general prosperity of the past year
and the large amount Of railroad i'm
sprovement which has been started in
nearly every section OF the state. The
exact number of miles shown by the OF
fetal table is 1896. This does not in
Guide 106 miles of the Northwestern road
which have been graded but not yet laid
with rails, the new line which the coun-
Gil taxed and against which action the
Northwestern protests, claiming that a
grade is not yet a railroad and taxable
as such. The Northwestern heads the.
list in mileage increase, the total on all
its branches for the year being 266, 1888
miles The Fort Dodge & Omaha line
ranks second with 1902 miles. The
Milwaukee is third in point of increase,
having a total of S2..243. The Ninneap-s
oils & st. Louis has 1856. and all the
other roads are below fifty. The gross
increase of all the roads was T21.2O
miles, but there was a slight decrease on
a few lines, which made the net increase
fall to 1885,. The table showing the
