BONDS ARE PLACED
Board of Education Closes Deal
With Davenport Firm at
Good Figure.
AMOUNT OF THE ISSUE Is $4,000
Diplomacy Brings Bidders to Time.
Resignation OF Teachers
Accepted.

| The board of education at its meet
ing last night placed $s5, 900 worth
of per cent bonds to refund a por-
| ton of the outstanding obligations
incurred for school purposes and to
pay for the finishing of the high
school. The conditions under which
the issue was disposed reflects CON
siderable credit upon the board as n
business organizations.
1t will he recalled that an issue of
900 was sold to Harris & Co.. of
Chicago, at the November meeting
of the board at a premium virtually
giving the city the benefit of an in
terest of but 3A per cent. AS the
bonds are necessarily of the short
period of five years the company ev-
identity found some difficulty in dis
posing of them to advantage, and
after looking about for an excuse to
cancel the contract did so on the
ground that the city was exceeding
its legal limit in the amount of the
issue. Then the board, finding that
other companies were disposed to be
shy, decided to wait and put the mat
ter before the people to vote upon
for an issue of longer period.
Amount of Issue Raised.
This brought George w. Bechtel &
Co., of Davenport. who had bid
against Harris & Co. ON the former
occasion. To time, and the result was
bid from that firm to take the
bonds at a fair premium. As the
report of the board of equalization.
made since the former sale. gave the
county Il higher assessment than
last year, il was found that the
amount could be raised TO SIS 900.
Bonds to this amount were sold for
$50 46.
After mature discussion last night
the board decided To defer the APP
pointment of truant officer to take
the place vacated by the resignation
of w. l.. Sweeney.

quarantine OF the house was put
ineo effect last evening and arrange
ments were made for the removal of
the patient to the pest house at the
west end of the city, which was done
this afternoon. The place has been
recently made ready for emergencies
by the health officers and is now sup
piled with all the sseptials of com
fort for the inmates.
The services Of Mrs. Assay, who had
the disease last winter and is there
fore an immune. have been secured

\ wrong impression seems to have
gone abroad in regard to the meas
ures that have been taken against
possible contamination from small
pox at the postoffice and store at
South Heights. There was only the
slightest danger of any germs. hav-
ing found lodgment there, but it was
thought best by Supervisor Donovan
Ia make assurance doubly sure and
he accordingly saw to il that the
fumes of sulphur were used as the
last precaution. Business was inter
rupted only while the fumigation
was i'm process.
The Union of this morning takes
up nearly column attempting tn
show that the South Rock Island
township authorities were lax in
their precautions in handling the
South Heights smallpox case. 1t is
Misrepresentation from beginning
To end The facts we're stated in
J.. oh al
that Supervisor Donovan had adopt
ed every measure possible to prevent
spread of the scourge. The one
case there is of mild type, and
there are no fears that others have
been affected.
Davenport Cases
Since the recent development of
smallpox cases on this side of the
river a somewhat exaggerated idea
of the extent of the disease in Dav-
export has gained currency here.
The reports of the health department
of that city show that there have
been % cases under treatment since
Dec. Z. Of these four have been re-
leased from quarantine and the 9TH
er Is are still being guarded. The
authorities state that the regulations
are being strictly enforced and that
all suspected cases are watched
closely.
In regard to the state of affairs at
Buffalo and Blue Grass little cap be
learned, for the people of those two
villages are disposed to conceal the
fasts so far as possible. The Daven-
port authorities ought to get the
state board of health after those two
towns.

The city health authorities last
evening were appraised of the discoV-

victim is Alic Day, sister of the

other cases that have originated in
this city during the past two years,
the Infection is traced to Davenport.
Miss Day had just returned to This
side of the river after visiting with
relatives in Davenport. The children
at the place where she was visiting
had what they thought was chicken
poN and she did not take any pre-
caution against contact with them.
Yesterday she was taken i'll and
a rash appeared. When she was cX-
amined by a physician the latter at
once pronounced it case of small
pox and notified the city health au-
