ANOTHER DEATH FROM MEASLES
Another death has resulted from measles. Last night about 8 o'clock Ross Bacon, who lives just west of the Ruggles school house, died after a two weeks' sickness. There are six other severe cases of measles in the Bacon family. The last to take down was Mr. William Bacon, the father. Mrs. Bacon is the only member of the family able to be up, and she is weak from the severe strain since the sickness began in the family. Yesterday Miss Robb, a trained nurse, went to the Bacon home. Mr. Bacon's oldest daughter, Mrs. Harry Edgerton, of Kansas City, was sent for and reached home just before her brother died. The next oldest child, Miss Evelyn, is seriously sick but some of the children are getting better. Ross Bacon was 21 years old. He attended the Normal last year.
The report of the city teachers shows that there are 202 pupils in the city schools absent on account of measles. In the county schools the measles seems to be as prevalent as in town. Yesterday the county superintendent received a letter from the teacher of No. 57, near Neosho Rapids, saying that the school had been closed because nearly every child in the district is sick with measles.
