CUBAN ITCH IS
NOW PREVALENT
Physicians Assert That There
Are a Number of Cases
In Richmond.
DISEASE Is DESCRIBED.
PoX AND ORDINARY GRIP AT
THE BEGINNING, BUT ERUP.
TIoNS COME QUICKER.

Do you think you have the grip, or
the smallpox, or the chickenpox?
Maybe you haven't any Of these di-
seases. In all probability you have
the Cuban itch, which is a blood rela-
tive of all these. At the present
time, physicians state there are scores
Of cases OF this nature in the city and
it is probable that it will be some time
before the contagion is stamped out.
In the first stages OF the Cuban itch.
local physicians have had great diff
Guilty in Distinguishing il from the
smallpox or the chickenpox. 1t also
has many symptoms OF the grip. The
Cuban itch is a degenerate form Of
smallpox" a physician described IL to-
day. II breaks out all over the body
and causes much suffering. There are
several cases of smallpox in the city
and many homes in the city where
there are cases of Cuban itch have
been quarantined on first report, on
the supposition that the victims were
suffering from smallpox
The breaking out on the body of a
Cuban itch victim comes quicker than
the eruptions which appear on the
body of a smallpox victim. Ia the
first stage Of smallpox the victim is
first seized with aches OF the stomach
and a general body soreness. Fever
sets in rapidly. After a lapse of two
or three days ii is the general rule
that eruptions will appear. then pus
will form in each eruption.

Timothy Nicholson today notified
County Auditor Demas COe, that Amos

1t is expected that Mr. Butler will
advise the commissioners in regards to

the county is responsible pending ad-

pitaI. He will also give his opinion
concerning the Improvement OF the
present county jail conditions.
1t is not known whether Mr.. Butler
will recommend the erection of new

sured fact that Mr.. Butler will advise
the quartering of the insane in the jail

for them The plan of erecting q
building for the insane at Easthaver
or the county infirmary, is regarded
as impractical. it is thought by Mr.
Butler.

it would be necessary to increase th'

In part the president says:

Barrell-The situation is just this:
We appear to be long for the present

be forced to come to this country for
supplies in the very near future which
will mean vehy much higher prices.
White-Bul1 steam is on with a

ting too enthusiastic on the bull side
because 90c wheat for the start of a

Pringle-All the bull amfnnition OF

with Argentine falling down and should
anything happen to the growing crop
it would be hard to gauge prices Fol-
the present we would buy July wheat
on all little set-backs.

WILL PURCHASE 4
NEW FIRE ENGINE
Board of Public Works
Meets This Morning and
Practically Decides.
HOFFMAN ST. PAVING NOT UP
Creosote Block as Proper Material
Is Questioned By Many
Property Owners.
HOFFMAN ST. PAVING NOT UP

The members of the board of public
works met this morning to consider
the matter of purchasing a new fire
engine for Station No. on the south
side. A representative from one of the
principal fire engine manufacturing
companies was present and it is like
ly that the board will recommend the
purchase of steamer.
The matter of the paving of South
Holman street did not come up as was
expected on account of the failure to
hear from the Hammond, Whiting &
East Chicago Street Railway company
regarding what would be done to
double track Holman street
The investigation that the board
members have made regarding the de-
STABILITY of creosote block has resulted
in the discovery that the black pave
ment is anything but a success in a
great many cases.
Letters from several city engineers
over the country state that the pave
ment is slippery and that in a great
many cases it has been known to
bulge up several feet
1t is understood that a great MANY
of the frontage owners who formerly
posed to it and there seems to be no
question that the brick pavement with
asphalt filler viii beadopted
The matter is now in the hands OF
Mayor Becker and as he is sick, the
next meeting of the property owners
will probably be delayed several DAYS
1t is hoped, however. that word will
be received from the street railway
company as to what it will do re.
garding the double tracking of the
street by Monday or Tuesday of next
week, so that there viii be little de
lay in the advertising for bids and
the letting of the contract.
The matter of the width of the nave.
ment cannot be settled until the street
car company is heard from and so the
whole delay is now due to the failure
to hear from President Cameron's
engineer.
