Small Pox Under Control

The epidemic of small pox in the Ava
10 and Pawnee districts seems now to be
under complete control of Doctors o.
son, of Keota, and Stewart, Of Grover.
delegated by the county physician to
enforce precautionary measures. What
new cases are developing are in homes
already affected, and it seems unlikely
that there will be any further spread Of
the disease. DR.. Olson was out in the
infected country Tuesday and again on
Thursday, fumigating houses where the
patients had recovered long enuf ago
for removal of quarantine. He finds
most of the cases very mild, altho in
two or three instances they are quite
severe.
The scare will have one good effect IN
emphasizing the need of greater pre-
cautions 1T the inception OF any out
break of infectious or contagious dis
ease. Had the proper care been exsr-
cised at the beginning Of the present
outbreak there need have been no more
than three or four cases in all Of east
ern Weld county.
Some instances Of fright are really
laughabls. On Saturday, it is said,
man who had intended to stop 1t Keota
lost his nerve and went on to Bucking-
ham. As he got out Of the supposed
danger zone his courage revived and he
changed trains to return here, only to

his fear. The nearest case Of small pox

doubt to sensational reports published

CHURCH LIFE

The failure Of attendance ut the times
of service on the 18th has made it plain
that until the scare over the small pox
threatening is quite gone, and the pso-
pie have settled back into . comfortable
state of mind, nothing can be depended
on.

meantime let everybody put In fresh
practice the advice recently given for
such emergencies, making the most of

There still seems to bs some anxiety
lest Pastor Oliver should 'be carrying
small pox infection. To allay these
fears, it should be said that if he had
been in this danger there would have
been cases in town week ago, calcu-
lating by the time required to develop
from exposure. That there are none
shows that his precautions were effect
