ceded to Decatur by the other coun-

Madrid, Jan. GA mining camp
west and south Of here called High
Bridge, on the c.. NJ. & st. p. railway,
are having great scare at present on
account of dyphtheria breaking out in
a farmers house where a number OF
miners were boarding. No sooner had
1t been limited that the disease had
broken out at that home than most of
the miners left and took up boarding
at large mining hotel near the mine.
In about three days after, the disease
broke out at the hotel and it was
promptly quarantined, and all who
were boarding there. In the meantime
one or two jugs Of fire water had been
procured, probably to drive away the
disease, and all at the hotel became
happy, and a 18Th house soon started
and many thi' IN the house were
broken as we'll as q few heads. OFF,
GERS Of the law had to be called to
Quiet the disturbance. Things ran high
for q while. but in a short time every
thing quieted down. There are gooss
many people i'll with the disease at
that point. The board of health is do
ing all in their power to stop the
spread. There is a large mining camp
at Scandal, three miles west of High
Bridge, where some 800 miners are
now employed and about 25O families
located there, and they are doingall they
can to keep all High Bridge miners
away until they are sure the disease
has been controlled. There are good
many miners who work at High
Bridge live at Madrid and the scare
is about as great at Madrid as at
Scandal at present. where the disease
has broken cut.
So far it has been mild and no deaths
have been reported, still all near here
are taking the best precaution, so that
1t will not spread.

Lake City.
Engineers are at work laying out a
line for an interurban from Lake City
to Lanesboro. 1t is the intention of the
promoters of this enterprise to ulti-
mately go on to Des Moines via Jeffer-
son. All roads in that section of the
state, that is all electric roads, lead to
Des Moines. If the capital city ever
does become a real city, she will owe
that fact, less to her own efforts than
to the interurban people, who from all
points of the compass are turning their
lines toward sDes Moines. Under the
circumstances, she can barely escape
becoming something akin to a city in
time.

Saturday about II o'clock, While
Mrs George Trott was away from
home, four tramps entered her house
and rumaged it, getting jewelry and
money. They then set the table and
when she returned home they were
leisurely eating. They ran out and es-
capped, altho the city officials searched
for them. Later they tried to enter
another house and battered the door
down, but were frightened away. 1t
is proposed hereafter to sound the fire
alarm on such occasion and get the
people out in body. This is the
most daring attempt ever made in Ell
don. This is a double division of the
Rock Island, and tramps are obliged to
change from one train to another while
