NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

The Middletown Board of Health in
forms the public that there has beer
seven cases of smallpox in our town
since January. These cases have re-
mained with US only few hours after
the Board received notice, being sent to
Farnhurst for treatment, all rooms and
houses have been disinfected and strict
quarantine inauguarated. All indi-
vlduals in quarantine and all contracts
so far as the Board could ascertain have
been vaccinated.
At this time there is no case of small
pox in our midst excepting the two
children of Levi Anderson who have
had varioloid, modified form of small
poX and their vaccination saved them
from the Farnhurst treatment. Pre-
cautions have been taken to prevent
contact and spread of contagiOn, this
house for the second time, has been
fumigated and under the law must be
quarantined for seventeen days.
The persons in Red-Row under quar-
antine are we'll, and no signs of develop
ment of the disease, the period of incu-
baton lie. from the time the contagium
enters the system until physical symp-
toms develop is seldom less than eight
days or more than fourteen, commonly
from ten to twelve days. The Board
will feel hopeful that control is possible,
if no case develops after May Both.
Sallie Wright, near Lake street, who
developed the disease on Monday was
sent early Tuesday morning to Farm
hurst, her house has been fumigated and
quarantined.
In January when William Clifton de-
veloped the disease the State Board OF
Health ordered the Health Officer of
the Middletown board to vacinate every
colored person in Browntown.
Mr.. E. G. Alice, trustee of the poor,
on Monday instructed DR.. E. G. Clark,
President of the Town Board, to vac
cinate all people unable to pay and such
work is now in progress.
The Board of Health ask the sympathy
and cooperation of the people in eradi-
eating this Ioathsome disease.

Good Price For Fur

Mr.. John Fox who resides on the
'Norney" Farm, near Silver Run
Bridge, shipped his muskrat fur to the
International Fur sale of Funston Bros.
& Co., of st. Louis. Mo-, and received
for them an average of 413c each.
This is the highest price realized from
the sale of fur by any of the local trap
pers, and doubtless many of them will
profit by Mr.. Fox's experience next
season.

A PyroteehnieaI Hoo Market,

Prophecy efnanating from Packing

the hog market has again gone awry.
Oracles in that quarter rarely make
good and their irridescent dream of a
$3.50 market has vanished. Some light
stuff sold around that figure, 1t Is true
and a few mixed droves were put up
slightly below the IS line, but at the

cessity Of resorting to strenuous meas
ures. such as staying out of the mar
ket, to arrest boom and refusing to
trail advances never got them many
hogs.
Trade scouts made reports indicating
the largest pig crop the country ever
raised, but in laying their winter mar
ket plans packers did not reckon with
impairment OF the corn crop by frost
which sent millions of pigs and UNDER
weights to the shambies and mater
tally reduced tonnage. During NoYem-
Der and December this liquida ton was
unrestraiHed and not until the middle
OF January did evidence that the resi-
due OF the crop was getting into
stronger hands develop. The some
what spectacular rise of mid January
was legitimate. as results proved, as
packers who had affected indifference

times hogs We're more than worth the
money and profits figured anywhere

kets means that. increase In numbers
was to a large extent offset by decrease
in tonnage. Fresh pork was cheap
during the October 10 January period
and large quantities went into immedi-
ate consumption. During the first
twenty-one days of January the eleven

That the country is not weA supplied
with hogs is not contended but every

the winter packing season works

and December was due to liquidation

With the turn Of the year beef scarcity
has developed. cattle having advanced
20 cents to 81 per cwt, and shorta &c
OF both lambs and mutton has become
acute, lambs have sold above 81 and
sheep above SIS per cwt at mid -Janu-
airy. The industrial situation, democrat
lied a year ago. is now healthy and
pork is proverbially the poor mans
meat. Consumption is considerably
heavier than year ago and the big
packers instead of splitting up the crop
on a percentage basis among them
selves are facing the keenest kind of
competition.
