taries. They are coming from the At
lantic coast by way of the lakes and
others by way of the gulf of Mexico.
y fine lesson in illustration of the ad-
vantage of an intelligent and thorough
system of river Improvement in the
west is furnished by the boats which
are being tied up at the levee of St

waterways have outlived their useful

S SMALLPOX FATAL
FarIey Hood, Wasted Almost to
Skeleton, Dies at Pest
house.
HAD NOT BEEN vAcCINATRD
And Suffers Disease in Most Violent
Form-Burial
Plans.

Harvey Hood, his body shrunken al
most to skeleton, uIed at 11:45 this
morning at the smallpox hospital in
the southeastern part of the city,
where he hau been since last Sunday
morning, when he was removed from
coach in the Burlington yards.
Hood was en- route from North Da
kota. where he left Campbell Bros
circus. by which he was employed as
waiter. to his home in Lincoln. Neb,
when taken sick on the train. Health
Commissioner c.. q. Craig, Jr, at the
request of the railroad officials met
Hood when he arrived in Rock Island
last Saturday evening. and diagnosed
his ailment as smallpox.
worst Form of Disease
Hood suffered from the worst form
of the disease. the continent type. the
sores running together and converting
his body into one ugly ulcerous
growth. DR.. Craig finds it is the first
case OF that type that has been treat
ed in Rock Island in 20 years. 1t is
nothing more than an example of the
old-fashioned smallpox that is mOdi-
fed through vaccination, and affords
a fOrcible illustration for the urgency
for adopting vaccination as a precau-
ton and safeguard against the on
slaught of this dread contagion.
Had Never Been VaccInated.
Hood, in one of his rational mo-
ments, admitted to DR.. Craig that he
had never been vaccinated. He has
been delirious nearly the whole of the
time since reaching the hospital.
Those having the continent type of
the disease rarely live the sixth day
Hood went beyond that period and
there were hopes until yesterday of
his pulling through. Every attention
was given him. Louis Rocks. the at
tcndant employed by the health de-
partmcnt. remaining at his side night
and day.
Leaves Widowed Mother.
Hood was "a years of age and sin
gle. His mother is widow living in
Lincoln. She is in poor circumstances.
He has a brother n travelling salesman.
The mother and brother have been
advised of the death. 1t has not been
determined where the body shall be
buried. The health department will
take all possible precautions to pre-
vent the spread of the scourge. The
body will be wound in disinfected gar
nents and placed in a sealed casket.
