Exposes Himself to Smallpox; Ar
rested.-John WEIGH yesterday exposed
| himself to smallpox and as a result he
may be fined any amount ranging from
So to 5000. WEIGH was seen crawling
through a window at the Wilder home
on Thirty-fourth street, where there is
a convalescent case of smallpox, by
two guards stationed at the place.
When he reappeared they nabbed him.
Welch's action angered the health COM
missioner, but for a time he didn't
know what to do with the man. Final
" he ordered him placed in the pest
house, where he will be Quarantined
for two weeks, costing the city 81 per
day besides his board. Health Com
missioner Arp says that as soon as
WEIGH is released from quarantine he
will have him arreted for violation of
the health ordinance, under the sec
ton relating to person leaving or en-
tering a building placarded for small
pox. The minimum fine for violation
is SIS and the maximum fine is 5000.
Foundry Remains Here.-The Moline
after considering several tempting
offers to locate its plant elsewhere
than this city. announces today its
decision to remain In Moline. Mem
bers of the association stated this
forenoon that several local sites of
dimensions suitable for a modern
foundry building are being inspected
and that within q short time deal
may be closed. Just how long the
association will continue to operate
the foundry in its present location
has not been definitely decided, as
the building now in use has recently
been purchased by DIR. A. H. Arp and
will have to be wrecked to make
room for the Burlington road i'm
provements. r. L. Schofer, j. G.
Miller and Fred Wegge, who COM
pose the present membership of the
foundry association, declare their
intention to incorporate the concern
in the near future, this move to be
preparatory to the building of a
model plant in Moline. This move
has become necessary, they say, on
account of rapidly growing business.
