Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 December 1908 — No Small Pox at Delphi. [ARTICLE]

No Small Pox at Delphi.

Delphi has had a mad dog and small pox scare, but it did not amount to much. About the small pox and supposed mad dog the Citizen-Times said: “One of our upholstered schoolma’ms caught a kid scratching its—-itsr-caught a kid scratching and screamed small pox. A lost dog bit a boy and a man and the cry went up—mad dog! The 'biter was killed and the bitten went to Chicago for treatment and after paying the usual fee, returned well and hearty. The dogs were ordered muzzled and the unmuzzled killed.” It then denies that there has be?n any small pox and indicates that the mad dog scare is all buncome. Brother Crampton has been running a newspaper for many years and we have never known him to misrepresent matters to his subscribers and therefore we believe that Delphi has been done a great Injustice by some newspapers which have indicated that about every person in that town that had not the small pox had been bitten by a mad dog.
