Several others went to points in this state. o— — And still they come —that is, reports of new measles victims In the city, and apparently the city of Decatur was never in a greater siege of this malady. It is estimated by the health board that there are fully three hunrded cases in the city. Monday but two lone pupils reported for duty in the primary grade in the South ward, taught by Miss Eva Acker, and Professor E. E. Rice therefore decided that it would be best to dismiss school there for the remainder of the week, which was accordingly done. The strange part about the epidemic is that several who have been known to have had the measles before, are victims of the epidemic also. Dick Archbold and a child of Frank Gass are going through with all the delights of the measles a second time, and the little Lichtle boy, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Malley, it is said, is having the measles for the third time. While many of the victims are quie sick, no cases have proven fatal, and the sickness Is not considered serious, if the necessary care is taken.
