Tbe polios charged and dispersed tbe orowds. No new strikes have been declared today. ABANDON THEIR PLANS 4 IS a m Tbe plan to seek an inter view, with tbe Fresident has been abandoned by the labor leaders. Tbey have deoided that no good can be ac complished by a farther effort to lay before tbe President the labor sida of the situation. There was not a single disturbance repotted to the polio uo until noon today, other than perhaps the seeing of an extra number of po lio about the streets.

Two More Deaths (By Scripps News Association Marquette Kan May 10 Two addi tional deaths, as a result of the torna do, has been reported,' thus bringing tbe death list up to twenty eight. Tbe funerals of the victims will be held this afternoon. At the present time there are tblr teen quarantined cases of diptheria In the city, all of which have been quar antined aince the 3rd of this month as follows: on May third the borne of O D Goodnough and Jo Tarnbnll, on he 5th L L MoCreary's two children: on the 6th J E Coffey's little gW ; Mrs Nash's little grand child (n. Mrs Nash has sinoe contracted the disease) ; and on the same date two children In the family of Chas Glass were taken down) on tbe 7th Miss Lotties Preston eontraoted the disease: on the 8th a child of Mr and Mrs Redell Yester day the residence of Henry Hanson was quarantined. Mrs Swauger of Kamela brought her little boy, who died last night at midnight, to Mr Benson's home and - green flag was plaoed on tli gate. Mr an-1 Mrs Me Noon, two of their cblldred beiug afflioted, are quarantined . We publish the abov list to ahow how tli disease la spreading in the ami . ...r. .k.M . ..k.. . stamp it out. We realize that this Is muoh easier said than accomplished, for the fact that the disease, as a rufe, in a mud form and it is quite diffi cult for tb average family to distin guish a mild ess of diphtheria from tonsilltls and both ar prevalent at this time, and.lt is quite possible that there may have been a few cases In a mild form wherein th Barents never knew their children had diphtheria nor do they know It now. On th other hand it is more probable that there a' a number of cases where the child ren wer not very sick, and In the hope of saving a physician's fee and th ex pense of quarantine, parents havs bushed the matter on and called It tonsilltls when tbey were in doubt. The Observer has heard complaints that possibly in some Instances the premises were nut sufficiently or thoroughly disinfected. Last year the disinfeoting was done under the super . vision of th city physician. In other words he instructed th marshall to that th houses were properly dlslnfeoted and; generally speaking, this Is the only safe way. The fact la we have had a few linger Ing oases of diphtheria in tbe city for several months but the past week It hss passed that point where things should take their course, and the city council should take Immediate steps to stamp it out. the city bss ample authority to prevent the spread of this disease, that Is, see that the quarantine laws ar being enforced and a, health officer appointed with power to visit snob families that ar suspected of harboring the disease. There is no question but what th general spread of any disease Is caused from lax sani tary conditions " Every horn and business In this city is vitally interest ed in a healthy town, and let us go about it aa a business proposition and have It.
