her. Starting out, she came upon
Schump. who was standing in company

taken to the police court the woman said
she had paid for the whip and was more

PUBLIC GATHERINGS FORBIDDEN

Smallpox at Cedar Rapids stops PUB
lie Gatherings.
Social to Times Republican
Cedar Rapids, June 17.-There were no
services in any of the churches here
yesterday owing to an order Of the
BOARD of health which has put stop to
all public gatherings for the time. The
cause of the order is the prevalence of
smallpox in the city. The disease has
become sufficiently widespread and epi-
Genie to call for the strict enforcement
of proper quarantine measures. Conse-
squently churches, excursions and base
4tall are at n standstill.
The greatest trouble seems to lie in
the fact that cases of the disease have
been concealed from the board of health
and in that manner contagion has
spread so that the condition has be-
come alarming. Sixty cases have been
reported from the northern part of the
city. known ramiiarly as Time Check, /"
settlement composed largely of Boz
hemians and other foreigners. Before
school closed the disease broke out In
two buildings, the Harrison and Fill

excitement.
The board of health officials do not ap-
pear to be in the least to blame for not
checking the disease, and had they had
the corporation of the people the pres
ent condition Of the city would not have
resulted.
The order that has closed the
churches is TO the effect that no services
can be held until after July 4. 1t is
hoped that by that time the danger Of
