SMALL POX SCARE
UP THE STATE
antined and No One Is Allowed
to Leave.

Fairfield Journal: There was con-
siderable excitement manifested in
this city today when 1t was learned
that the little town of Glendale had
been quarrantined yesterday for small
pox and that no one would be allowed
to lea-e the town nor none allowed
to go to the town. There are several
cases of what is supposed to be this
disease in the town at the present time
and almost every one there has been
exposed so it was thought best to put
a strict quarantine upon the town.
The Burlington railroad has issued
orders to all the station agents along
the line to sell no tickets to the town
and to accept no freight or express for
that place. No trains will stop there
until the disease has abated. Mail bags
will as usual, be thrown from the
trains passing through there but none
taken on from that place until further
notice.
The Burlington agent, A. G. Straley,
at that place. is victim OF the dis
ease and 1t is thought that large ma
iority Of the people here have been
exposed through coming in contact
with him. 1t Is understood that he
has been sick for over week but
thought that he had an attack of chick
en- pox and went about his work as
usual until Saturday when he became
so Ill that doctor was called, Since
then number of other people have
been taken i'll with the disease and a
general spread of the disease is looked
for.

Nervous Debility

OF, in extreme cases, nervous prostration.
The treatment consists largely in rest
recreation and the use Of a tonic. the
discontinuance of any practice that NAV
have caused it and abstinence from tea
coffee or other stimulants. AS the nerves
receive their nourishment through the
blood the latter must be built up and
made rich and pure. Especially if there
IS loss OF weight and pallor indicating
9 weakness Of the blood, DIR. Williams
Pink Fills are the ionic best adapted to
efect cure. They have been used
by the most eminent physicians for
the treatment of neurasthenia with
most excellent results. The late DR..
Lapponi, who was physician to two
popes, recommended them highly for
neurasthenia and for similar disorders.

New York. April 9.-The boxing
game in this city seems to be in the
same bad condition it was before the
six-round bouts were stopped and all
but bona fde club driven out of the
fold. District Attorney Jerome clamp
ed down the law tight on the boxing
exhibitions at the Whirlwind Athletic
club last night He is determined to
stamp out the boxing game in this city
by obeying Governor Hughes request
of a few days ago to investigate the
legitimate membership clubs.
Matchmaker Dick Curley had ar
ranged an excellent card for the mem
bers. the main bout being between
Patsy Kline and Eddie Kelly.
But stationed at the door of the club
house were Captain Carson and band
of bluecoats, who refused the mem
bers admission They said that the club
had failed to comply with the require
ments of the fire department and that
the bouts would not be held. So the
crowd dispersed.

SEMI-PROS TO WAR
ON ORGANIZED BALL
Chicago League Magnates
Are Angry at Murphy's
Refusal.

Angered by the refusal of President
Murphy of the Cubs to allow them to
play games with minor league teams
here Sunday, leaders of the Chicago
Baseball league have thrown down the
gauntlet to organized baseball and are
planning to make war to the finish
against national agreement clubs.
The first untoward movement was
made last night, when Frank Nc
Nichols, owner of the West End team.
declared that he would make Johnny
King a tempting offer to play Satur-
days and Sundays with his team. He
hopes that the belligerent Cub star
will see 1T to leave his business two
days a week to play at West End Park
and help draw crowds from the Cub
games.
The whole trouble started when
President Murphy filed a complaint
with the national commission against
the games scheduled between the Gun
theirs and Rockfords of the Wisconsin,
Illinois league and the West Ends and
Des Moines Western league teams.
