SMALL Pox IN TREMPEALEAu
Epidemic of Large Proportions Pre-
walls There.

walls There.
La Crosse. Aug. 14.-An epidemic of
smallpox which has attained large pro-
portions is reported in TTempealeau
county. and several communities in
the eastern end of the county report
large number of cases.
Smallpox was on the rampage in the
east end of the county at least three
weeks before the people of that VII
cinity were aware of it. There were
a number of cases of sickness, during
which the patient suffered eruptions.
In spite of the fact that chickenpox
affects children only, it was believed
that full grown men were laid up with
this kindergarten complaint. Not I'M
til last week was the true nature OF
the disease made known, and this was
the result of visit of DR.. H. j. Jegl
to the home of Lemuel Weller, who
was taken down with the prevailing
trouble. DR. Jegi at once suspected
SMALLPOX. and after careful examina-
! ton into the patents symptoms the
the physician was satisfied that his
suspicious were not unfounded. He
then learned that others in the com
munity had been similarity affected
These conva1escents he found badly
pitted.
DR.. Jeg at once reported to the
state board and received prompt and
emphatic instructions. Quarantine
has been established not only in the
Waller home, but in other homes
where the disease has appeared, and it
is hoped that the contagion will disap-
pear in a short time. A few days
will be sufficient to determine whether
any new cases will develop among
persons who have been exposed.

ago in relation to Sunday closing, and
when four saloon keepers pleaded
