Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     Carbondale, Ills., April 12.-A unique condition seems to exist at Anna, where for several months an epidemic of smallpox has raged to such an extent that the public schools have been closed and services in the churches have temporarily suspended. In a residence where the occupants have been afflicted with the disease it has been found that cats have contacted the disease, two having died with well developed smallpox. Physicians who are conversant with the disease and its revages fear more spread of it through the new danger.
