new CASE OF SMALLPOX
In the Family of David Grifiths,
Near Daleville-Matter of Free
Vaccination.

A mild case of smallpox was re
ported from Moscow yesterday by the
local authorities there, and when Dr..
Paine was called to diagnose it, he dis
covered it was in a very mild form.
The victim is u woman NAMED Mrs.
David Gritliths, who resides about u
mile and u half from Daleville, whose
husband has also been affected by the
disease. The latter contracted it while
selling trees in Hackettstown, n. j..
and carried it home with him.
No new cases We're reported in the
city yesterday, and all the patients
are about the same as reported yester-
day.
Director of Public Safety f. L.Worm-
ser and Superintendent Allen, of the
bureau of health, were in consultation
yesterday afternoon on the question of
free vaccination and agreed upon list
of physicians who will be asked to
take up the work for the city at Il
compensation to be fixed by the direc-
-tor.
Dr.. Allen said that about twenty
four physicians will be required to do
the work satisfactorily. The names of
those selected at yesterdays conference
will not be made public until it is as
certained whether they will take up
the work. 1t is estimated that up
wards of seventy-tive per cent. of the
inhabitants of the city have been vac
cinated within a year or more, so that
the expense attached to the free vac
cination is not expected to be very
large.
The health authorities are not at all
alarmed over the continued spread OF
smallpox, because of the fact that all
the cases which have already broken
out can be traced directly to contact
with persons in the Brace home when
the disease was tlourishing there with
out the knowledge of the authorities.
The present outbreak of the disease is
what is known as an endemic or a
spread of the disease caused by con-
tact with q single case or cases in one
place.
There have been no cases of the dis
ease attributed to contact with any Of
the persons who contracted the disease
III the Brace home, and until there is
the situation will not become serious
in the eyes of the health officials. The
latter believe that they can keep the
disease under control, and do not hesi-
tate to say so

Columbus could do great work in
correcting these false impressions and
in proving to protestants that the
Catholic church is not prosecuting

Christian charity. He urged the
Knights to use their influence also in
preventing the production of the "iin-
moral, ris1ue and pornographic plays
which now flood the stage" He said
that the knights could be a power in

Arkansas farm land Is advanc- ing in value by leaps and bounds. Land that few years ago went begging for purchasers at $5 an acre now finds ready sale at seven and eight times that amount. One of the great causes for this. out side of the natural increase in population, IS the greatly improv- ed methods which are now being introduced in the growing and marketing of crops. Where farms once paid theIr owners 6 and ' per cent on their money invested, 1t Is now no unusual case to find tracts of land which under high cultivation return as high as 40 and % per cent.
