The added exports to the Philippines

The only difference is that the $lO0

GREAT ?REcAUTIoM IS BEING
TAKEN BY AUTHORITIES TO
PREVENT SPREAD OF THE

Quite little excitement prevailed
in this city this morning when it was
learned that Monongah is harborins
a number Of smallpox victims. One
report had it that some OF the persons
attended the ball game between Fair
mont and Steubenville, which was
played at Traction Pork, just above
the Coal Town. Superintendent Ruck-
man brands this as a fa1sehood. He
had his family at the game, and
knows positively that all who have
been exposed to the disease were I'M
der strict guard and did not leave
their homes during the day. He
also states that eight persons have
contracted the disease in a very light
ously sick. About thirty persons are
under quarantine, many Of whom claim
| they were not in the least exposed.
The section affected is West Mo
rongah, and a peculiar feature is that
all the persons afflicted are Amer-
cans.
General Superintendent Lee l.. Ma
lone said this morning: 81 do not
consider the situation at Monongah as
serious. We have had cases of this
disease at our mines along the river
for some time. and no fatalities or Sc

a call for the police. Assistant Chief
Rartholow responded but - the man
had gone when he arrived. The
neighbors did not like to interfere
enough to swear out warrant and
nothing was done. Too much such

should be taken to stop it.
