SMALLPOX ON TRAIN:
PASSENGERS IN BONDAGE

A parlor car that went through this
city week ago last Thursday night
over the Rock Island road was put in
quarantine at Salida, COL. on account
of a smallpox case.
The passengers had an extraordi-
nary experience. One of them, Mrs.
Charles Brumbaugh, developed small
pox after starting on the train from
Kansas City. She endeavored to con-
ceal it from the trainmen and the
other passengers, but was discovered.
In consequence, the train was quar-
antined in a lonely part of the state
and the passengers kept without food
for night. Mr.. and Mrs. Brum-
baugh wore taken to the pest house.
This Pullman car, which served as
NINE has since been changed. The
passengers were prisoners from Sat-
urday morning until the following
Monday afternoon.
When the Rock Island train for the
west left here theThursday night before
the Adriatic was Car No. 2. Ahead of it
was the Corsica, com bination bag
gage and buffet car, and toward the
rear of the train was dining car. In
this way during the trip, the larger
part of the passengers, while going
forward to the buffet or back to the
diner, were exposed to dreaded dis
ease, present on the Adriatic. OF
this, however. most of them were
ignorant until Sunday morning, when
they saw in the newspapers accounts
of the smallpox quarantine at Salida.
At Limon Junction, Col, the train
was divided, the Adriatic and two
other cars going to Pueblo. and thence
west on the Denver & Rio Grande,
and the remainder of the train going
into Denver. The Denver passengers
had no more unpleasant experience
than wondering whether they had
been infected with the disease. So
far as reported, however, no new
cases have deVeloped.

SHOWS A sPITEFuL SPIRIT

Davenport Press Never Passes Opportu-
nifty to Knock Rock leland.
The Davenport press omits no OPP
portunity to show its enmity towards
Rock Island, and the paper that
claims to be the fairest and friend
lest to this city and to take the most
stock in the spirit of tri-city good
fellowship is the one that hesitates
least to indulge in spitefulness. For
instance, one paper on the Davenport
side takes up the statistics recently
published in THE ARGUS in relation to
grip and typhoid here and under the
head of Suffering Rock Island"

ton. Giving the figures. it says:
Rock Island is credited by it's own
health department with 79 cases of
typhoid fever. This serious showing
is not received with comment as be-
ing at all astonishing. but it is ac-
cepted, rather, as being quite the u.s.
ual thing
This same paper was not just
enough to note the fact. set forth in
THE ARGUS article, that grip does
not prevail as largely in this city as
it does in many other communities of
like size, and furthermore that there
is less typhoid fever in Rock Island
at the present date than there was at
this time year age. The ARGUS is
not seeking to rival the disposition Of
its Davenport contemporary when IL
says that if the facts were known
Davenport has probably greater per-
centage of sickness, typhoid and
