ACADEMY UNDER QUARANTINE
Disease in Mild Form-Boarding
Pupils Vaccin-
ated.

The Villa de Chantal. the school To-
Gated at the brow of the bluff on
Twentieth street. was placed under
quarantine this morning, n case of
varioloid having been discovered last
evening among the boarding pupils.
The case is another that has been
brought to the city from an infected
district.
The patient is Corintha Wickert,
aged Is. She spent the holidays at
her home i'm Wisconsin, returning TO
the school last Wednesday evening.
She did, not know that she had been
exposed to the disease, although it is
prevalent in her home town. Friday
evening she was taken slightly i'll and
saturday evening an eruption appear
ed. Yesterday it became evident that
the case was one of varioloid and the
health department was notified.
The patient attended classes Thurs
day and Friday, being associated with
Il number of children residing in the
city who attend school there There
are 50 day pupils and Is boarding pu-
pills in addition to the sisters and the
students who take only music lessons.
All the day and music pupils were of
course at their homes when the case
was diagnosed. The boarding pupils
were quarantined at the school.
Many Have Been vaccinated.
All the sisters and the older pupils
have been vaccinated, the operation
having been performed a year ago.
Today the pupils who had not been

to under the direction of the city
health department and an effort was
made TO reach all the day pupils at
their homes and see that they are
also subjected to the operation
as precaution although the
danger is not considered great for a
spread of the disease among the pu-
pills. Until the present case is dis
posed of the health department will
fumigate frequently and observe ev-
cry precaution to prevent any con-
tamination.
An effort was made to have the pa
tient placed in Mercy hospital. Daven-
port. but the municipal authorities
there would not permit the removal
of the girl to that city.
All school work during the run of
the present case Will be suspended.
This is most unfortunate and will
cause general regret. The Sisters of
the Visitation in their removal here
and the erection of the building they
now occupy have incurred financial
responsibilities that will weigh all the
more heavily upon them as the result
of the interference with their source
of income.

SUFFER FOR FUEL
Coal Shortage Approaches Acute
Stage in Rock
Island.
SUPPLY Is FURTHER DIVERTED
Milwaukee Lays OFF Trains Be-
tween Tri-Cities and
Savanna.

With zero weather and a keen
northwest wind blowing the coal
stringency struck Rock Island full in
the face this morning. The telephones
in the offices of the dealers rang in
cessantly and when answered il was
always the same plaintive inquiry.
Have you any coal?" Some of the
dealers who handle eastern and south
ern coal were able to reply in the af-
tirmative, but what they had came at
S425 to $3.50 j ton for the ordinary
bituminous variety. Those handling
that mined in this vicinity were out
Some of the patrons went so far as
To offer premium for n supply.
The Coal Valley Mining company
and the Empire Coal company are
still selling what they have to offer
at S3 ton. the same price as has pre-
vailed since Sept. l. Today dealers
We're offering $3.50 for carload lots of
local coal and of course they were
not getting it. Both the above COM
panieS are doing their level best to
keep their contracts with the factor
les and other large establishments
filled and their regular customers sup
piled. Within the past few days the
railroads have been confiscating more
coal than formerly and the supply
that reaches here is correSpondingly
diminished. One dealer lost three
cars that were shipped Friday The
roads have not been taking mine run
coal, preferring the lump. To get
lump coal To the city the dealer had
been having it billed as mine run. but
the road officials learned of the ruse
and seized not only the lump but the
mine run sent that day as well.
In spite Of the general shortage
there has been comparatively little
complaint heard from the poorer
classes. and Poormaster j. II. Lid
ders reports that the number now
calling upon him for relief is but very
little greater than il has been all
through December. Nevertheless ac-
tual suffering has begun. especially
among the poor.

A River Avenue Scene.

AS this reporter walked down River /
avenue Tuesday morning, the exquisite
beauty of the entire scence impressed
him as never before. A genuine Black
Hills winter morning, crisp and beau
tiful. The sun was shining rs it only
can shine at Hot Springs in winter;
boys and girls ON their way to school;
Fall river rushing along its way; people
hurrving to the postotfice for their
mail; the sheriff was riding up the
street to the court house with dignity
and propriety; when suddenly there
shot up the avenue from lower town
little brown mule, encountered with a
large heel chain harness, the chains
hooked together with the breeching
mixed his gait badly but did not pre-
vent him from making most excellent
time. The street was in instant COM
motion. This reporter ran to the CEN
ter of the street and signaled the mule
to stop, which after several curves and
stiff legged jumps, he did, running
plump into the arms of one of those
versatile travelling men who is general
ly "Johuny ON the spot" The crowd
gathered and offered advice, the sheriff
reinea i'm his horse, the school children
'ruhbered,' and all enjoyed seeing the
caution and judgment that travelling
man displayed in divesting that small
mule of that large harness without APP
preaching the business end of him.
The look of relief that came to that
mule when the harness was off reward
ed us all. The "scene" was resumed,
the sun shone ON, the brook continued
its course, the children moved on to
school. the sheriff rode maiestically up
the avenue and this reporter proceeded
to the office of the Transfer, Feed ~
Fuel Co. and secured Piano al. which
appears this week in the STAR.
