DAWSON DIDN'T QUARANTINE
The City Council Met to Consider
the Matter.

When smallpox was reported to be
at Herod considerable alarm was felt
in Dawson, and there were some who
thought the city should quarantine
against the people of our little neigh
Dor.
A special meeting of the council
was held to consider the matter, but
after hearing statement from DR..
Kendrick, who is attending the case
at Herod, it was decided to take no
action.
The people of Herod have taken
every precaution possible, and are
dealing with the disease in a manner
that has almost allayed any apprehen-
sion of its spread.

OUT IN THE COURTS

st. Louis, March 5.-The Wabash
strike situation IS resolving itself into a
legal battle for the dissolution of the in
junct'o granted two days ago by Judge

individuals withoat waiting for word
from their leaders, is now being dis
cussed. 1t is stated the men are ready

New York Stock Market.

New York, March 5.-There was q
very weak stock market from the outset
today, and an outpouring from all quar-
ters that had something of mystery
about It after yesterday s effective check
to liquidation. The particular weakness
of the Pacifics and transcontinental
stocks led to the supposition Of the re-
ported incorporation of company to
build new line to the Pacific coast, and
a report of twenty per cent decrease
in the Union Pacific net earnings for
January and the fears that the Wabash
labor dispute would spread. have COM
bined to induce the selling OF stocks.
The slump in the cotton market and the
calling for additional margins there.
caused some liquidation of stocks to
protect cotton holdings.
