the nerve OF woman-when she

rs ZION AFFLICTED.
Farmers State That an Epidemic Of Dis
ease is Raging In zion.

| ease Is Raging In zion.
| Whether there is firm foundation
for such affecting to arise remains fol
developments to show, but certain it is
that the residents of Benton and even
south to Winthrop Harbor have fears
that an epidemic is existant in Zion
City and that in view of the absence OF
medicinal agencies the health of the
community is endangered to a great
extent.
The fact that deaths are lkept SC
quiet in the new city, that all the
funerals take place at night, only
tends to make the community more
alarmed.
The fear is that diphtheria and scar
let fever have entered the homes of
Dowieites and that now, according to
report, two children of Martin Lux, of
Wadsworth, lie at'Ithe point of death
as result of exposure to diphtheria in
Zion City.
The fact that diphtheria did,exist in
Zion last week and the week before is
vouched for by number of reliable
Benton residents.
That deaths have resulted and that
they were due to these diseases is also
evident.
Said a trustee of Benton cemetery to-
day: eve can learn nothing as to the
cause of the deaths in Zion and I've
heard it reported that they were due to
diphtheria. The only way we have of
knowing how extensive the death list
is, is to watch the graves. One thing
is certain, there are seven new graves
there since September 18th and all told
there are about twenty, some at first
having been used for bodies brought
from Chicago. No more importations
are allowed.
"We sold Dowie four lots for fifty
dollars, but they're filling up so fast
| he'll have to buy more pretty soon."
But the fact remains that so far as
can be learned the contagious diseases
are existing there and no precaution is
or hasIbeen taken to prevent spread
ing. Everybody connected with Dowie
and the Zion City is practically sworn
to keep his mouth closed and no salts
factory information can be secured
even by the cemetery officials.
It is stated that if such condition
is really found to exist, the State
Board of5Health will be called upon tc
| investigate the matter.

WILLIAM H. SLAYTON, the New
York attorney, who some time ago
asked to be allowed to represent Ad-
tnira1 Sampson before the Schley
Court of Inquiry, repeated his request
Yesterday and was again refused. Mr..
Slayton was informed that Admiral
Sampson was not as yet party to the
inquiry and that the court would
notify him when it considered him
interested. Admiral Dewey evidently
does not propose to have the present
trial prolonged by the intervention OF
new issues, bnt it is within the posi-
bi1ities that Admiral Sampson may
have a nice little court martial of his
own before the investigations started
by the present trial are finished.
