On account of there being a case
of smallpox in the station of the
Iron Mountain railroad at Sabula,
and the fact of that place being
quarantined, we did not receive
our regular shipment of paper
this week, which accounts for our
being late and also for the fact
that we are issuing only a half
sheet. The agent at Sabula lives
over the station and the case of
smallpox is in the family of the
agent. No attempt seems to have
been made to move the family out
or isolate the case already de-
veloped, and as a result all freight
and express that was in the station
when the case developed still re-
mains there, and as far as we are
concerned will remain there a
good while longer. We do not
propose to take any chances with
the smallpox SO the railroad COM
pany can do as it pleases with that
bundle of paper.-Centeruite Out
look.
Mrs. LaMance, the w. G. T. U.
lecturer, tells us of an annoying
and unpleasant experience she had
last Friday. She had driven from
Centerville to Sabula where she
expected to take the evening train
for Des Arc, being billed for All
address in the latter place that
night. On arriving at Sabula she
was informed that there was a
case of smallpox in the depot resi-
dence, up stairs, and the quaran-
tine would not permit her entering
the station. She was bade to take
her stand at a certain place by the
track where the train would stop
and take her aboard. Mrs. La
Nance says she went to the exact
spot indicated, but the engineer
insisted that she and some other
expectant passengers were on the
wrong side of the track and went
away and left them. Mrs. La
Nance was unable to fill her lee
ture engagement at Des Arc that
evening and is contemplating a
suit against the railroad company.

sists of Ste. Genevieve and st.

the counties lying adjacent to st.
st. Francois county. Thirty Bapt-
ist churches lie in this district.
However, at this meeting of the
association five of these churches
lying in Washington county drew
off to unite with the Washington

be more convenient for them. One
