piled last night at state headquarters
These returns are very scattering
and many counties have not sent IL
report In some places the "fiu'
quarantine has been again enforced
and many towns are having peace eel
ebrations, all of which has slowed "
the work of solicitation.

bly, will be Monday night before
enough figures will be in to base al
accurate report on what the state
really has done.

day $4,000 thus far raised, Monona
county $4,000 and additional increas
