SMALLPOX SCARE ABATED.
[Cedars Rapids @Republtcan.l
considerable alarm was felt in the
city few weeks ago when it was dis
covered that man who had been ems
ployef on railroad work had a very bad
case OF smallpox and that he had been
running about the streets for several
days. It was feared that great many
people had been exposed to the disease
and 1t was believed there was immi-
nent danger of an epidemic. The man
was taken to the pest house as soon as
HE could be gotten there, a man who
had been with him was taken to the
same place and the Chicago house and
the Cedar Rapids house, where he had
been stopping. were both quarantincd.
{ 7 yesterday the quarantine on the two
hotels was raised, as the time when
those in the house were liable to take
down with the disease had passed. The
man who had been in company with the
smallpox patient and who was taken to
the pest house. has so far shown no
signs Of taking the disease and 1t is be-
lieved there will be no further cases.

covered.

house, has threatened to bring suit

at least SO far as election purposes are
concerned. The custom OF glorying and
gloating over a defeated foe with a lot
of rooster9, big scare heads and loud
type is downright rude, IL indeed not
low and vulgar. II is custom that is
rightly passing into disuse, and Just
v'hy any newspaper man should permit
the columns OF his paper following
election to be marred by display OF
ROSTERS and nonsensical cuts is some
thing that we would be pleased to have
explained. It Is certainly one of the
things that no man who cares for the
feelings OF his neighbors or friends,
who often belong to the defeated party,
should permit himself to indulge in. "A
real newspaper man can tell the whole
story in q we'll .worded double head. set
Z In regular headletter type. and from a
Typographical standpoint the effect is
much nsater than the use of lot OF
rude cuts. In telling the result OF any
election, no matter how elated one may
feel at times over the result OF the
election. If your exuberance is too
greatsto be confined to double head
go out and mingle with the mob and get
drunk and thus work off your enthusi-

ever know that you had thus made |;
fool OF yourself. whereas with the use
of cuts and loud type they would all
have your rudeness and Stiffness thrust
upon them.
