INFLUENZA IN KEENE.
Woman and Eight Children Appear to
Have Spanish Grip

KEENE, n. H., Sept. 1s.-Mrs. Re-
nardo Giovannangele of 33 Oak street,
and eight children, are sick with what
appears to be Spanish influenza or
grip, at their home and the board of
health has notified them to observe
quarantine rules.
1t appears that Mr.. Giovannangele
had brother sick with the disease
in Quincy, Mass, last week and went
down to see him. Yesterday or day
before he got word of his brother s
death and has gone to attend the flu
neral.
1t is not certain whether the father
has the disease or not, as he had cleft
town before DR.. Brosnahan was called
to the family. Whether his wife and
children took the disease from him oil
from germs brought here in his clothing
would be interesting to know. At all
events the extreme contagiousness OF
the influenza appears to be well illus
trated in this family. All the children
but one are sick in bed.

volume of untitled orders on hand.
Some firms report collections slower

only fair.
The week has been too cool for a
large retail trade, although there has
been activity for winter clothing.
The farmers suffered considerable
damage during the week by reason of
a frost which was general throughout
the state. Corn has not developed as
well as it should have been at this
period Potatoes are rotting. Apple
