On the contrary at no period OF
his life did he devote his entire

did he depend upon it as a means

seemed to combine to compel
Washington to assume responsible

Many Cases of
 Smallpox in Douglas

County Attorney W G Gilmore re- turned from Dou g!ss and Bisbee where he has been in conference with the board of health and authorities with reference to the smallpox situation at Douglas
 Several new casss developed at : 0 ,uglss yesteriay and the board of health are doing everything possible in the matter. The si uation is not eonsids'ed alarming enough to order general quarantine and the county attorney states that while the sn~cs:l epidemic is serious enough, yet Ii is by DO means as bad az careless and exaggerated reports sent out, and it is believed to bs uoder con.rol.
 The Douglas mails are being fun. | igated the schools have been closed ard the theatres also closed by tonight, all being precautionary steps. Doug is undergoing vaccination and the ely is furnishing vaccine free to make the vaccination general. Special care is also taken to guard against small- pox from northern Sonora points and every avenue carefully ssfeguarded.
 At Bisbee vaccination is slso under way and extra precautions adopted that the Douglas cases may be cons 6ned and not reach other points in the county.
 Qnite number of Tombe tonites are becoming vaccinated, as is being done in many parts of the couuty-a wise step which is recommended in support of the sdsgG that . "stitch in time leaves oine."

Tombstone Should
 be on Guard

In aDot her column of this paper is found e notice by Dr II HoLston Hu- ghart, city health officer, concerning the importance of vaccination at this time. The citizens of ombstoDe should be on guard and take every precsution to avoid the epi- demic from entering our heslthiul city.
 Several hundred cases of smallTox are said to exist in northern Sonora ~hile the number of cases in Tues. D are reported to reach the hundred mark, and the epiden ic in Douglas is on the increase according to reliable information.
 From the above it Can be seen that the disease is raging all around the county seat and it might be possl' le ths, smallpox may be carried in here, hence it would be advisable to take every step possible in advance to guard against it.
