MOUND CITY
HAS RIVAL
CLAIMS MADE THAT MOUNDS
WILL SOON BE THE LARGEST
CITY IN PULASKI
COUNTY.

That the chief officials and high
cockalorems OF the Illinois Central
contemplate making Mounds the larg
est city in Pulaski county is evident
from the gradual improvements being
constantly projected and made here
says the Mounds Leader. Hardly has
one improvement been made until 4
still greater one follows upon its
heels.
The latest projected improvement,
consists of a mammoth platform 10 be
built near the coal chute, on the west
side OF the yards. for the purpose OF
unloading and asserting freight ship
ments at this point and forwarding
same to their destination. For exam
pie. a freight car may contain .mer-
chandise consigned to Mounds. Cairo
and Mound City. The car is sidetrack-
ed here until the Mounds freight is
unloaded. then fl IS sent TO Cairo for
the removal OF a jag Of gOods-may be
only the jag AMI no go0ds-then ship
ped back here and sent to Mound City.
Sometime the car Is shUnted on to .
side.rack to wait until tracer routs
il out. causing much vexatious deltF
C. merchants and shippers and much
annoyance 10 railroad men in the MAJ
ter o. complaints.
This is all TO be obviatsl Officials
have been here. recently. and located
the platform and given orders for its
construction. The boss bridge car
psnters have been here from Carbon
dale 10 draw plans and make est
mates on the cost CT the construction
Of the platform. and it is reported
that the work viii shortly begin.

SMALLPOX IS
THREATENING
DISEASE PROMISES TO BE WIDE
SPREAD THIS WlNTER-TWO
ILLINOIS TOWNS SORE
" AFFLICTED.

East St Louis, Belleyille and Terre
EIaute are all suffering from smallpox
scourges. In East st. Louis it may be
said 70 be in epidemic form. ana IN
Tarre Haute The disease is Of ma
llgnant type, deaths from ID being
numerous. In Belleyille it is report
IA that there are y houses bearing
smallpox flags, although all the cases
arc mild ana no deaths are reported,
says The MG Carmel Register.
A large number OF Mt Carmel peo-
pie have relatives in East ST. Louis
and vicinity, and the Register sug-
aasts that all visits to them be post
ponei for the present, and that no
necessity exists for them TO visit here.
There Will be wide spread Of the
disease this winter and all cities
should exert every precaution TO
check it,
Every visitation Mt Carmel has had
from smallpox has been caused by
visits by people to the infected dis
riots. or by visitors from such places.
In some instances people who had
contracted the disease denied it until
they had given IL 20 others. Physici-
ans have not in all cases done their
duty in reporting smallpox cases.
Prevention is always better than
cure, and the way to prevent small
pox Is 10 keep away from IT, and to
keep people away who have been ex-
posed TO IT, II any such come in, see
that they are yaccinated, or report
them to the officers.
