The Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1???-1928, 1905-08-14

There were TOO interesting events
in connection with the local qHaran-
tine situation yesterday. one of which
was Of special Importance because out
of it grew a complete harmony be
tween the Illinois authorities and
those of Kentucky at Wickliffe.
For the last few days the health
authorities and city and county ofti-
Gals at Wiekliffe nave been obieeting
to the inspectors located at Cairo
boarding trains from the south at that
point and going through the trains
there. examining health certificates,
because they allege that IL simply
made Wickline the dumping ground
Of rim raft from the south. and IN
creased the danger to that place from
fever infection.
Their opposition increased 10 indig-
nation Saturday afternoon when one
of the local inspectors put four men
off one of the NJ. & O. trains at Wick
life. The Wickliffe authorities at
once notified the quarantine mead
quarters here that they would not
stand for this. and that they would
take steps to stop the Illinois inspec-
Stors from exercising any authority in
that town or in Kentucky territory.
The matter was taken up by Dr. Pal
mer. who is In charge Of the quaran-
ltine here, and as result, an agree
lment has been reached whereby the
system of inspection which has been
prevailing will be continued, and The
Illinois authorities will continue to
board all north bound trains at Wick
LINE.
| DR. Palmer made a personal visit
ID Wickliffe and discussed the mat
ter thoroughly with the mayor Of the
town ana councilmen. besides county
Officials. When the matter was ex
planned to them by Dr. Palmer ths
wicklife authorities agreed not to in
terpose further protest against the
inspection Of trains between that place
and Cairo.
