ferine.

Louisville, KY, Feb. ia blizzard
swept over the entire Southwest yes
terday, causing fall in temperature
to zero and in numerous places some
degrees below that point It came
with a rush and a whirl that caught
people unprepared, and the conse-
quence is that incalculable damage to
property and untold suffering to per-
sons and live stock has been caused.
Reports from Texas, Oklahoma and
Indian Territory state that the cattle
men estimate their losses at a round
million dollars A number of people
were frozen to death during the night,
and many more are in critical con-
dition from exposure to the chilling
and unkindly blasts.
The Indians in the territory are the
worst sufferers. They are without
proper clothing for such surly weather,
and as it has been a generation or
longer since they have experienced
its biting fangs, their constitutions
are not sturdy and vigorous enough
to Withstand the shock. rave fears
are entertained for those living on the
plains, and it is thought that before
the storm shall have passed many
hundreds of them will have gone to
| the happy hunting ground.
1t is reckoned throughout the at.
| fected section that this is the worst
cold weather that has visited those
States in score Of years. The nor
Their was followed by snow, and in
some instances sleet, and the precipi-
>tation is quite heavy Rivers are al
ready beginning to rise, and they will
soon be cut of their banks. Railroad
traffice is impeded, and bridges are
threatened, which may shut it off al,

Reports reaching the State game

Hundreds were also trapped, and
the claim invariably made by the
trappers was that the trapping was

[ ennessee State News
About the Smallpox Situation.

DIR. J. A. Albright, secretary of
the State Board Of Health, last
week issued the following statement
relative to the smallpox situation in
West Tennessee:
During the past ten days much
uneasiness has been occasioned at
points along the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga & st. Louis road in West
Tennessee, and also in counties adj
joining Henry, owing to the unus-
ually fatal type Of smallpox now
prevailing at Paris. This uneasi-
ness has led several towns and COM
munities to declare quarantine
against any and all persons coming
from Paris and vicinity. Such
quarantine is absolutely useless and
will not accomplish the desired pro-
lection against the introduction and
spread of smallpox infection-it on
ly serves to disturb the public mind
and ultimately must prove injurious
to the commercial and other inter-
ests concerned. Past experience in
dealing with smallpox in Tennessee
has but served to emphasize the fact
that the only intelligent and sure
protection against smallpox infec-
ton is that afforded by successful
vaccination.
81 visited Paris and found the
county board of health of Henry
county enforcing all necessary pre-
cautionary measures, especially vac
cinatioh, all suspects were under
surveillance and every case under
quarantine. The first case Of small.
pox was reported from Paris on
January Is, and up to February s
total Of seventeen cases had oc.
Cured, nine white and eight col
ored. From these cases there ha:
resulted a total of seven deaths
four white and three colored.
cat the present writing smallpo,
exists in the following counties ad.
jacent to Henry and in West Ten.
nessee; Crockett county, one cast
in vicinity of Johnson's Grove; by

At all points of infection the re

tions. At no other point in tn
State does this peculiarly fatal typ
ssof smallpox prevail outside of tn
