SITUATION GRAVE
Health Authorities Claim That They
Cannot Control SMALLPOX
People in Quarantine Go About as
They Please, Endangering
Others.
DIR. FRANK BOYD TALKS

The health authorities Of the coun-
ty are very much discouraged over
the fruitlessness of their efforts to
stamp out smallpox. DR.. Frank BOYD,
the health officer, claims that he at.
tempted to stop the spread Of the dis
ease some time ago, and when people
in the county refused to have their
children vaccinated or be vsccinated
themselves. and he attempted to prose
cute them, County Judge Lightfoot
decided that they could not be COM
PEELED to be vaecinsted.
At present there are a great many
cases of smallpox in the county it is
claimed, with prospects of much
more. Judge Lightfoot is quoted as
saying that he was informed that the
disease is not smallpox, and it is in
fsrred by the health officer that being
Of this belief he would not sustain
the authorities in any effort to enforce
the qusrsntines, so the health author
tiles have about concluded that there
is nothing to do-except let the disease
continue to spread. The other night

had been ordered to remain in quaran-

or the man in control were not arrest

health authorities. becsuse the latter
suppose that Judge Lightfoot, not be-
lieviug that the disease IL smallpox,

would not fine them.
DR.. Boyd said this morning that he
should like to know which is the
more competent authority on small
pox, q doctor or . lawyer. He stated
that DR.. H. 7. Rivers. who has perhaps
seen as much smallpox rs any doctor
IN Kentucky, pro:ounocs the disease &c.
ferred to as typical smallpox. That
the health board will pay a reward
for any case in which the patient has
had IL twice, or any case where the pa
tient can show scar OF successful vac
cination. He said that the reason the
disease is spreading is that the county
judge decided that people cannot be
forced to have themselves vaccinated
and they consequently decline to be
vsccinated. Many Of the people are
too ignorant to appreciate the benefits
Of vaccination or the safeguard of a
quarantine, and for that reason the
spread of the disease is menace in
the sections in which it has appeared,
and will sooner or later become so to
the citizens of Paducah. IL it is not
already so.
Judge Lightfoot, however, claims
that he has what no deems suthorita.
tive information that the disease is q
skin disease that lasts for only few
days and always comes back within
twelve months. He has been inform
ed that it lasts only from three to five
days. Ali the local physicians who
have seen any of the cases, however,
say that Judge Lightfoot's informant
Is in error snd that il is genuine
smallpox. 1t is understood that DR..
Mccormick, of the state board of
health, will be here in few days to
investigate the affair.

MIDSUMMER SALE.

The annual midsummer sale and fair
was the chief feature of local interest in
the village this week. Favorable weather
bined to fill Columbus hail, Thursday
afternoon and evening.
The hail never looked more attractive.
The booths we're arranged around the
hall, and the same general scheme of
decoration vas carried out In them all.
Visitors began to arrive early, and came
all through the afternoon, so by evening
the tables were nearly empty. Mrs. E.
w. Cole, of South Boston, reaped a har-
vest at the fancy work booth, where use
ful and ornsmentaI articles were to Re
found.
Mis-. c. {. HutchiBgs abd Mrs. J. NJ.
Williams presided at TIE bag table; Mrs.
l.. b. Deasy and Mrs. j. b. Cole Were at
the mysterious bundle table; Mrs. Z. &.
Lsrraoee and Mrs. Moses Stanley at the
apron table; Mrs 5. o. Moore and Mrs.
Daniel Deasy had the cake table, which
was prettily decorated.
Mrs. l.. ). Roy, assisted by Miss Mary
Blance, Was at the candy booth, which
was prettiiy decorated with cut flowers,
and, by the wsy, this booth always
proves to be the most popular, ana the
delicious home made candies which the
ladies are famous for, never supplies the
demand.
The college booth, most picturesque, in
charge of the Misses Moore, with Miss
Margaret in cap and gown, added not a
little to the effect. Here were sofa pill
lows, pictures, flags, knickknacks aud SOU
venirs, and in fact most erything that
goes to make Students room attractive.
The Jaekey Horner pie was served by
Misses Blanche Deasy and Sybil Cole.
Misses Mamie Young, Iva Stanley and
Eva Gross bad charge of the ice-cream
booth, and Moses Stanley dispensed lem
onade.
The entertainment in the evening was
good. The sailors hornpipe, By six
little girls, and arranged by Miss Moore,
was the hit of the evening.
Dancing followed the entertainment.
No admission fee as charged to the fair,
but after the bills were paid about SAC
was added to the fund, making this the
most successful fair that the v. /. society
has ever had.
