WHO IS RESPONSIBLE
For the Spread of Contagious Diseases
In Red Cloud?
Dr. Wilson of Lincoln, representing
the state board of health, waseallod to
Red Cloud the latter part of lust week
to investigate what was thought to be
:i ease of diphtheria, in the .south end of
town. A few dav.s ago. on July !'-'. the
three-year-old daughter of Mr.and Mrs.
C. Peterson died from what wnssuppos
odtobe diphtheria, although the death
certificate showed that the child died
from bowel trouble. The child was
burled at night, which gave rise to the
suspicion that all was not right. Clara
Osborne, daughter of John Osborne.
was called in to help out with the
housework while the Peterson child
was siek, and when she went home the
attending physician gave her an anti
septic to use, at the same time declar
ing there was no danger. Shortly af
ter the Osborne child was taken sick
and Dr.Moranvillo, the family physician,
was called in and he pronounced the
trouble to be diphtheria and imme
diately ordered the house quai untitled.
There was some complaint aboutstart-
ing a diphtheria scare while the Chau -
tnuqua was in session, some physicians j
claiming that thedisease was-not diph-!
theria, so Dr. Wilson was sent here '
to investigate. He had no hesitancv in
pronouncing the disease diphtheria In ,
its most iiiiiliiriiaiit form, and on the
strength of his recommendation two
other houses wore quarantined the
homes of John Cnlbreth and tieorge
Bibliey. Owing to the timely precau
tions that were taken the children who
were victims of the disease are well on
the road to recovery and there is little
or no danger of the ilisea.se spreading.
The houses in which the Oalbreth and
Osborne families lived were regular
hotbeds of typhoid and diphtheria, in j
both cases the floor having rotted
away and the walls stripped of t.he J
paper by the rodents that swarmed
beneath the floors. The root's have
rotted away and the walls reek with
rain and slime that lias stood in them
for years. It is remarkable that there
have not been more cases of contagious
disease, considering circumstances.
As the houses arc in such condition '
that there, is no possibility of thor-'
oughly disinfecting them, they should j
be condemned and burned down for
the sake of the other children. We un-
derstand that the city council took
action on the matter last night, though
it was not dcllnieely nettled what
should be done.
It seems a shame that such condi
tions are allowed to exist in a civilized
community, and those who are charged
with responsibility and neglect their
duty will some day be called to an ac
counting. BASE BALL

The Red Cloud boys certainly were j
up against a hard proposition Tuesday '
when the uirirrcimtlon from Webber. I

The Webber boys brought along a
couple of the Rurr Oak team, but they
had better played their, own men. for
it was the errors of the Hurr Oak boys
that let in the two runs scored by Rod
Cloud. Of course the Red Cloud boys
-knew they were up aguinst a hard
proposition and they watched every
move of the visitors. Krnest Colbert
of Teeumseh did the pitching for Ked
Cloud, and he is "there with the jimp
son." Colbert will stay in lied Cloud
and be the regular pitcher for the team.

CHAUTAUQUA CLOSES
Red Cloud's First Assembly a Financial
and Literary Success.
The attendance at the Chautauqua
dropped otV a little on Monday, but on
Tuesday another large crowd was pres
ent, and aside from the season tickets
something like soo people paid to see
the magician, who took the pine
of Ritchie, who was too sick to be pres
ent. On Monday night the Howe Moving
Picture Co. delightfully entertained
the rathersmall audience. Dr.Thnmas
McClary gave his lecture on "The Man
With the Hoc," and so far as pleasing
the audience is concerned, he out
classed any man on the program. This
is not saying that he is the equal of
llev. Newel Dwight Ilillis as an ora
tor, nor that Nat M. Rrighum does
not deserve credit for his splendid des
criptive lecture on the Craud Canon
of Colorado ami the story of "The Ap
