SMALLPOX PREVAILS AT ELGIN Clothes of Patients at Genoa Are Sent to Laundries in Former City. Elgin, 111., dispatch: Garments sent, to laundries in Elgin from Genoa,' where a few weeks ago there were half a dozen cases of smallpox, are be­ lieved by physicians to be responsible for two cases which now exifct In this city. Both patients are girls who work In a laundry. It Is believed that the city has been exposed. Two weeks ago Miss Loise Hicks, forewoman in a laundry, was stricken with the disease. All the employes were ordered to be vaccinated. Few complied, and the city physician vac­ cinated all in the place. It then de­ veloped that one of the girls was taken ill with smallpox. The physicians here have held a meeting and each will report to a cen­ tral office any new case. This pre­ caution, together with stringent quar­ antine, is expected to result in isolat­ ing all victims. City Physician Sturm condemns the authorities at Genoa for allowing soil­ ed clothes from smallpox patients be sent to Elgin. DOMINATE FOLK FOR GOVERNOR Missouri Democrats Select St. Lotiia ......
