Evening Republican, Volume 15, Number 60, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 March 1911 — There is No Bubonic Plague in Spokane, Writes J. E. Hopkins. [ARTICLE]

There is No Bubonic Plague in Spokane, Writes J. E. Hopkins.

The Republican is in receipt of a letter from J. E. Hopkins, who moved to Spokane, Wash., last ytear, stating that the published report that the Bubonic plague was raging in Spokane is without foundation. He says: : I wish, for the benefit of everyone concerned about friends they have here, that you will print an article saying that such is not the case. There is not a case of the plague in Spokane and all are well, with the exception of some grip.” Mr. Hopkins enclosed a clipping from a newspaper saying'that a state health officer had made a careful investigation of the sickness that had terminated in three deaths and that the cause was nothing more than severe influenza, terminating in pneumonia. There is no cause for alarm and the reports about the plague were without foundation. Mr. Hopkins asks to be remembered to his many Rensselaer friends. We have sold fifteen Corn King manure spreaders this spring. There is no better spreader on the market. Our terms and prices are better than any other. Let us tell you what we can do for you.
