COMMISSION FAvORS
THE CHANGE OF SITE.
SUPERINTENDENT PARSONS AND COUNCIL WILL CONFER REGARD
ING THE UNION DEPOT SITUATION

The railroad commission has now
gone on record as favorable to nego-
tiations for changing the union sta
tion. A telegram received by Presi-
dent Nash from r. Hudson Burr,
chairman of the commission, states
that the commissioners are perfectly
willing for a trade to be made of the
Carmichael for the Masters property,
provided there is a reasonable possi-
bility of a trade being accomplished.
The railroads and the III. B. Masters
company have already expressed
themselves as agreeable to consid-
Grafton of trade.
City council meets in special session
this afternoon at o'clock to consider
what shall be done in the matter. T..
W. Parsons, division superintendent
of the Seaboard, is expected to be
present. The telegram from Chairman
Burr says that it will not be possible
for a member of the railroad commits
sion to be here.
The wire from Chairman Burr is as
follows:
Letter of 26th. Commissioners
perfectly willing for trade to be made
of Carmichael property for Masters
property, and we have SO notified
Superintendent Parsons, but we do
not care to have matter delayed un-
less reasonable to expect something
to be accomplished. This matter was
originally taken up by Marion County
Board of Trade, who arranged hear
ing commissioners had in Ocala. A
committee accompanied the commits
sion to the Carmichael property and
it was understood that the depot
would be located on this, and the
order so specified. But the commits
sioners requested Seaboard superin-
tendent to have survey made to see if
it were possible to work the main line
north sufficiently to locate the depot
south of track. We presume that
physical conditions prevented this be-
ing done. We have been handling
that feature with Seaboard. The blue
prints for this station were sent to
Secretary Rooney, Marion Board of
Trade, at time submitted to commits
sion, and were never returned to US.
Impossible for member of commission
tc meet you 29th."
Representative of the Seaboard
and Atlantic Coast Line reached here
this afternoon. The officials of the
Coast Line are: j. C. Murchison, gen.
eral superintendent of the third divis-
ion, L. L. Sparrow, chief engineer of
roadway, and H. o. Macarthur, super
intendent of the Gainesville division.
The Seaboard officials are T. w. Par
sens, division superintendent, B.
Lamb, division engineer, H. B. Cart
right, assistant engineer, and B. L..
Davis, secretary to Mr.. Parsons.

(Associated Press)

The Austrian drive against the
Italians in the Southern Tyrol con-
tinues in the region of Arsiero, south
east Of Rovereto. Vienna reports the
capture of Cornewo, a fortified field
works west of Arsiero, and important
fortified position in the district of
Asiago, northeast of Arsiero.
The Balkan situation indicates i'm
portant developments soon. Athens
reports trouble there after it be-
came known that Bulgarians were on
Greek soil. 1t is estimated that there
are $4,000 Bulgarians in the force
which took possession of three forts
from which the Greeks retired.
The entente forces at Saloniki are
reported to have been reinforced by
the arrival of $4,000 to 100000 Ser
bans, the remainder of King Peters
ss-my. Notable activity along the en-
tire Macedonian front was reported
recently. The inauguration soon of
an aggressive campaign on large

INFANTILE
PARALYSIS
State Board Of Health Active In e.
fort to Control 142 Cases in
rs Localities.


On account of the continued prev
alence Of infantile paralysis in New
York, the state board Of health, while
urging sanity and calmness, is rigidly
|scrutinizing every suspicious case oc-
curing in Illinois and has taken sew
eral important steps to prevent the
spread Of the disease.
The rules and regulations of the
board relative to the reporting, pla-
carding and quarantining cases of an
terror poliomyelitis we're amended on
July IL, to conform with the latest in
formation in regard to the disease,
and several special rules and regllla-
lions have been isued and put immed-
lately into effect.
Under the provisions Of these new
rules, local health officers are required
to notify the secretary of the board
OF health at Springfield, by telephone
or telegraph, of any case of actual or
suspected poliomyelitis in his COM
munity and this report by wire must
be followed forthwith by a letter Civ
ing all possible details Of the case.
Railway companies entering the
state have been instructed to report to
the state board Of health the arrival
OF all children from New York or
from any other infected point. The
railway companies are complying with
this regulation and the service is be-
ing made more effective on account
of the cooperation of the health COM
missioner of the city Of New York
who furnishes information as to the
destination of children leaving that
city. Upon receipt of notice that a
child has arrived in any Illinois COM
munity from infected territory. the
board promptly notifies the local
health officer under whose jurisdic-
ticn the child has come.
Through a special order. issued on
July IS, it becomes the duty of the
parent, guardian, host or person haV-
ing the custody Of any child arriving
in Illinois and who may have been in
Greater New York within thirty days
prior to his arrival, to report the pres
ence of the child to the local health
authorities. All children who have
arrived in the state from New York
within thirty days prior to July IS
must be reported to the local health
oficer within twenty-four hours and
all children arriving after July IS,
must be reported to the local health
officer within six hours after their ar
rival. 1t then becomes the duty or
the local health officer to examine or
cause to be examined all children SO
reported and to keep them under OBJ
servation until thirty days after their
departure from New DIRK. In case OF
any illness among these children, iso-
lation is required until a definite dag
nosis shall have been made.
The state board Of health has also
issued a warning. urging that better
baby contests and other affairs bring
ing large numbers OF children to-
gether, shall be delayed until after all
danger OF spreading poliomyelitis is
mast

MAP OF IOWA
keokuk Was on Chart Of Territory
Made in 1s4o-Interestins Relic
Of the Past.

An interesting relic, that has just
come to light in Burlington is latter
ed and torn copy of NewhalPs map of
Iowa, issued in 1S41, by ]. B. Newhall,
Of Burlington, Iowa. According to the
map, there were twenty counties in
the state which did not stretch back
from the Mississippi more than one
hundred miles at any point. The pop
ulation of Burlington and Dubuque
were given at 1900 each, the other
towns in the state all had less than
1000 inhabitants.
Almost opposite the town OF Mont
rose there is "City of the Mormons:
Nauvoo" And several miles farther
down stream and above Keokuk, on
the Illinois side a town named Monte
Be'lo on the map. The map was
made in New York and then as now,
the New Yorker knew little about the
United States outside OF his own
ward ana cared less.
A short distance below Keokuk was
Fort Edwards and then came Warsaw.
There were other forts on the river
in those days. Thus opposite Daven-
port. Fort Armstron was located on
the island and on the main shore was
the town of Stephenson, while Rock
Island was on the Rock river perhaps
five miles east of the Mississippi.
Fort Crawford was located just
south of Prairie du Chen. Fort Madi-
son was located where it Is found to-
day, but had no garrison, while Fort
Crawford was a real fort. The town
now known as Muscatine, was called
bloomington in those days Many of
the towns in Henry and Van Buren,
counties were printed on the map in

History Of the A. M. e. Church.
The A. M. p. church was founded
In Philadelphia by Bishop Henry AL.
len, who organized his first cong-e-
cation in blacksmith shop. The
colored people had been worshiping
with their white brothers in their
church, and one Sunday morning
while at prayer, were pulled from
their knees and told to go to the gal.
lery and finish the morning worship.
Rev. Allen refused to do so and led
his people out of the church to mis-
blacksmith shop and there they in.
ished their morning services. Rev.
Allen then called for a white minis.
ter to preach to his people, but was
refused the services of a pastor and
after holding meetings in Baltimore
Nd. and collecting money to push his
cause, he was finally ordained bish
op of the A. M. e. church.
From this nucleus the church has
grown into a large organization with
q membership Of millions and the con
ference extends over the United
States, Canada, Africa and the Isles
of the sea- There are also twenty
nine bishops on the bench.
