In until late last evening the situa-
ZION in regard to the lifting or the
nresert quarantine. which has peen IN
effect some live weeks. was still in an
unsettled state. with no signs or any
other course being taken. However,
tho Spanish influenza continues TO
prove normal and from day 10 day II
seems as though il IS q very uncer-
tain thing. and just when the health
authorities will be In position 10
TIT the ban remains TO be seen. 1t
was the earnest opinion OF many that
tomorrow would see all back at its
usual stride. hut this thought Is COM
pletely out of sight and it is hardly
thought that the authorities VIII even
consider 1t this week. According 10
dope, this dreaded disease relGns SUI
prcnre some six weeks, and therefore
il is quite impossible that Wheeling
will have 10 undergo much more Of
this agony, which has actually put the
city in a p!tiful pr"dtcamcnt. and eS-
ery-day life is anything but being en-
loved. Like in other cities. 1t may be
possible that the officials may spring
q surprise and lift the ban. hut so far
as the condition and the number or
cases. this is not TO hc expected this
week There still remains faint hopes
Tor tho lifting sunday but not any
sooner.
