LAST CASE OF SMALL
POX DISMISSED WEDNESDAY
The Malady Will Cost City
Between $4,000 and $4,000.
There Are no Persons Under Quaran-
tine And no One Suspected or
Being Infected With the Disease
SO Cases Since March 20.

|. Marion Is rid of the SMALLPOX NAL
ady The last patient was pro-
nounced cured and dismissed Wednes-
day noon by Health Officer Addison
Baln. The patient was Adam Sher-
man. of Farming street.
Much credit is due the board of
health and the efforts of Mr. Balm
because of the early eradication of the
disease, which had gained such a start
on the health officials before they
were aware of its presence I'm the city.
When DR.. G. l.. Dix specialist from
Columbus, was called to Marion to
diagnose cases which the local physi-
clans claimed were chicken pox, he
found ten persons suffering of small
poN and many others exposed.
AT that time 1t was thought that
the disease would continue through
out the summer but the prompt ac-
ton OF the health officials prevented
this. Since March 20 there has been
65 cases of smallpox I'm the city. Dur
ing this time, 349 persons have been
placed under quarantine. No deaths
have resulted because of the con-
taglon and but few of the patients
were confined to their beds.
At the present time there are no
persons under quarantine and no per-
sons are suspected OF being infected
with the disease, The epidemic will
cost the city between $4,000 and $S,-
600.
The great benefit of vaccination was
manifested in the recent campaign
against smallpox. About 80 per cent.
of the people who We're successfully
vaccinated, after being exposed, did
rot take down with the disease. 9th
ers contracted the disease after being
vdccinated but they had been ex-
posed for some time before they sub
tocted themselves to this treatment.

STARVING BABE
IN DEATH ROOM
Mother Commits Suicide
After Locking Child in
Small Room

Washington, d. c., Aug. 10
Locked in a small room with the
dead body of her mother, Mrs. Sarah
Peterson, who had committed suicide
by swallowing a quantity of carbolic
acid, the young daughter of the wo-
man was rescued today from starva-
ton, by neighbors, after having been
four days without food or water.
The mother with her child resided
in a small room in an apartment
house, and the rescue was made only
when the stencil from the decomposed
body, together with that caused by
the carbolic acid, attracted their at
tention and caused them to start an
investigation.
During the last two days passers-
by had noticed the little girl at the
window feebly crying, but did not sus-
picion her condition thinking she
was brooding over some childish
trouble.
When the child was rescued this
morning, it was lying exhausted, by
the dead body of the mother and in
an unconscious condition. She was
rushed to the hospital and her con-
dition is considered precarious.
\ note found on the woman's body
indicated that she killed herself to
escape imaginary enemies.

Demonstrations of Indignant
Citizens Cause Sheriff to
Double Guard

San Bernardino, Cal, Aug. 10
on account of threats and a demon
stration last night, against Dr. Nc

ed in a cell close to his office, and

threats against him, and has an
nounced that he will make no at

The present Mrs. McDevitt married
the dentist following a sensational di-
vorce suit which a former wife filed

her that he made her grovel at his

haneful power, had left a trail of
human wreckage from New York
where he married Miss Provost in

QUARTER MILLION STRIKERS
FORCE CRISIS IN ENGLAND
POORER CLASSES SN:Et''' EPIDEMIC THREATENED
With Every Wheel ot Tr1fi; ,pped Grbly3 U1movsd
Ro's-- Railroads Mus tecogoize Unions Says Llycd
George After Conference.

London, Aug. 19.-More than a
quarter million men in England are
today out on strike, according to fig
ures compiled here TODAY and It is ev-
ident that a crisis in the worlds great
est struggle between capital and la
Dor is near.
The effect of the strike is now more
visible than at any time during the
present trouble. Provisions are today
almost as scarce in London as thew
were yesterday in Liverpool and the
poorer classes are suffering intensely
from the lack of the absolute neces-
stiles of life.
Officials today admit that both the
railways and subways are virtually
ued up, but they assert that two
thirds of their employees in London
have remained loyal to their en-
ployers. Transportation in the city
proper, is somewhat improved over
the situation of yesterday.
Grave danger which is now con-
fronting the city is that of an epidem-
ic, as no garbage has been removed
for several days and is rotting. The
authorities realize that this is a new
ana serious danger.
Chancellor Lloyd George this after-
noon conferred with several railroad
managers and after the conference he
reported that the outlook for a set
tlement of the strike is now better
than at any time since it was first
lnauguraed. He said that he believed
that the railroads would recede from
their announced position of refusing
to recognize the unions which means
that the strikers will win a strong
point in the struggle.
The government expects TO estab.
lish train service with the use of the
military forces within a very short
time and by this move it is believed in
official circles that the famine will be
stopped before a great deal of suffer-
ing will have been experienced.
Reports from Birmingham. Man.

mills have been forced to close down
