In the case OF the fire to-day at the stevens
school building there was very narrow
escape from a frightful calamity. There was
a strong wind blowing at the time, and but
for the fact that the alarm was promptly
turned in by the police, and that the firemen
were promptly on the ground the flames
would have gained ruinous Roadway. 1t is
estimated that delay of i've minutes in the
arrival OF help would have sealed the fate of
the building, and of hundreds of the pupils.
The Stevens building is, with its mansard,
four stories In height, and there is but one
stairway, and this In the center OF the build
ing On the alarm OF fire being given, the
children pouring from the various school
rooms, concentrated in a terrible Jam
in this single stairway, and but for the
efforts OF the teachers and the lady
principal, all of whom appear to have
displayed great self possession, the re-
suits must have been most serious. As it
was, many OF the children were Injured ia
the headlong descent. The fire occurred in
the second story, at point, where, through
the criminal fault OF whoever was concerned
In the planning or construction OF ths build
ing, the woodwork was placed SO near the
fiue that i; had become charred to a finder;
and the wonder IS that II had not sooner Ig-
Dited.
This narrow escape from frightful TRACE
dy shows the necessity fO- the closest super
vision OF the work OF the contract builders of
school houses. 1t will also tend To discoar-
age the building Of school houses OF great
height, having only single stairway. 1t
would he unfair, however, to the other
school buildings of the city to judge them
by the Stevens building, which was erected
some years ago by 1.-the job," and is proba-
bly, greatly inferior In construction to the
most of our large school bugIdiupS

In a few DAVIS the election for Mayor

In few days the election for Mayor
and town councilman will take place,
and is not a matter of more than
ordinary interest to eur town that we
should re elect the old ticket without a
single failure? They have managed
the finances of the town admirably and
let us show our gratitude for their graz
tuitous services by selecting the last one
of them. Surely every member compo
sing the board is sober, economical
man; they are men who we'll know how
to manage their own business matters
and they have proved beyond all cavil
that they know how to take care of the
interests of the corporation. Besides
the large outlay of $1,000 for FIRE ems
CINE, tho many Improvements about the
town, and the keeping in repair OF the
wells, they have considerably reduced
the debt of the town. If any one will
take the pains to find out how much
has been done by these gentlemen, they
cannot fail to acknowledge that they
have done we'll the work committed to
them. / know that not single one
desires to be reelected, but let us send
them back without single change and
thereby show our gratitude for their
we'll performed services.

We call attention to some of the pro-
visions OF the new read law. In some dis
tricts, the officers, we are informed, are
not aware of the duties imposed upon

Section 2 provides, That for each
magisterial district there is created and
established hoard consisting of the super

the justices of the peace for each district.
which board shall have the exclusive

)Pox.

SINCE our last issue there has been ore
death ie ported and five new cases. The
new cases however are confined to
houses in which the sm.l pox has been
for several weeks. We are hopeful that 70,
the present at least, the disease win not
spread further. Every precaution. how
ever. should be taken and every one who
has not been recently vaccihated should
be vaccinated at once. As many persoes
for good reasons. object to virus which is
! not known to be pure bovine virus, we
determined to ascertain where and at what
costs TIE genuine bovine virus could be
| secured. In answer to y letter to DR.. B
! Bush Senseny OF the Pennsylvania Vaccine
Farm near Chambersburg We received a
supply of genuine bovine virus which ha>
been used upon number OF subjects in
| Woodstock. One gentleman who had
| been vaccinated six times since the ap-
pearance of small pvx in the county
without effect, tried the genuine bovine
virus of DR.. Senseny's last Thursday, and
now can exhibit ali arm marked with true
Jannerian COW pox symptoms. Dr.. Sen
seny has furnished us his price list with
| directions for vaccination which we pub.
lish for the public benefit.
Whole quills, animal virus, each IS cts.
8 for S1.t0.
Ivory points, each IS cts, $3.50 per doz.
Crusts each 81 to IS. Lymph tubes filled
with fluid lymph, each $500. Quilts and
points are the most reliable form in which
the virus is prepared and fused -accordins
to directions seldom fail. Make your
abrasions, not less than two on subject,
about one-fourth inch square, moisten the
tip of your finger with q drop OF cold
water and with it slightly moisten the
charged surface Of the quill. Rub the
charged end of the quill or point brisk;y
on the abraded surface for full minute
and then allow it to dry before putting
dow the sleeve. This virus will produce
the true typical vsicles of vaccina OF
Jenner. and entire immunity from the
terrible disease. Parties can procure the
genuine bovine virus from DR.. B. Rush
Senseny, Vaccine Farm, Chambersburg.

The Lynchburg Star Is right when 1t
says that persons who patronize papers
should pay promptly, for the pecuniary
prospects of the press have peculiar pow

II the printer is paid promptly, and his

paying patrons. he puts his pen to the pa

Election.
The election for mayor and town coun-
ell OF the town Of Woodstock will take
place to day, Thursday. There seems TO be
but little Interest manifested in the cleo.
ton. Politics does hot enter into our
town elections. and as there is no anes-
ton upon which the people demand an
expression OF opinion in advance, many
seem to think the business can be attend
ed to without their personal attentio n
Some of the old council seem tired Of
serving the corporation in capacity for
which they receive nothing but honor.
but as they have done so well for lis in
the past we think they should continue
to serve the public, so long as their
services are demanded. We do. not think
the town would be benefited bv a
change, and we shall therefore cast our
vote for the oidmayor and councllmen.
