disregarded when the magical power lays

JAMES III. ALLEN.

We are in receipt of copy of The
Idaho Avalanche which gives detailed
account of the manner in which James
Allen came to his death. He went to a
place called HALEY to make purchases of
clothing and other needful things. He
had not completed his purchases when
the stage left and SO at o'clock Allen
set out for the mining camp. 1t was
severely cold and he persisted on the way.
He had left the main road intending to
take short cut but missed the way and
encountered very deep snow. He put on
a portion of the clothing purchased and
it is believed had sat down for the pur-
pose of putting on the remainder, when
he was overcome by tie cold.
the deceased was at one time q resi-
dent of this county. His mother, sever-
al brothers and sisters still live here
He was soldier in the late war and be.
longed to Captain Rankin's company.
At the close of the war he went out west
and has since followed the life of miuer.
He is described as man of herculear
strength and general favorite among
his acquaintances.

SMALL .POX.

4
The number of cases of smallpox in
the county is increasing and there is some
danger that the infection will spread. 4
Mr.. Wallschlaeger living on the lake
shore road, in the town of Manitowoc is
down with the disease. A daughter Of
his who was living in Chicago and who
came home some time ago, is supposed
to have brought the infection with her
Some Of Mr.. Wallschlaeger' children
attended school until he was taken sick
but it is not at all probable that they
communicated the disease to any one
The town authorities have quarantinad
the house and none of the inmates are
| allowed to go abroad.
Another case, and one managed very
poorly is in Kossuth. The boy of a
saloon keeper on the Green Bay road
was taken with the smallpox. He con
tracted the disease from relative return
ed from Chicago, who had been Through
the mill" The saloon is kept open not
| withstanding the presence of the plague,
and every day unsuspecting men quaf
their lager totally oblivious of the dan
ger they are mourning. A party for
school children was given at the house
before the nature of the disease was
known, which was quite we'll attended.
The children ate heartily and staid until
quite late. It will not occasion nue.,
surprise if small pox should become ep.-
demic in that neighborhood.
About four miles from the last nance
place, in Cooperstown. another family
have been stricken with the disease. A.
In all other cases the infection was bro't
by relative from Chicago or Depere
One member of the family is not expect
ed to live and three more are sick. The
family live about one-half mile from
John Engelbrecht's. A death from small
pox occurred at Maple Grove lately. A girl
who had been at Depere, Miss Schunk,
came to her home in Maple Grove anu
was taken sick. She died and it was
with difficulty people could be got t.
brave the danger of infection by ASSISTING
in her burial. A number of young fel-
lows finally undertook the job and sic
was inferred late in the night.
All the cases here given are reliable
There are rumors that the disease has
appeared in other places in the county.
but SO great is the panic that bad colo
is taken to be smallpox. Though small
pox is very contagious disease little
precaution will prevent its spread. A,
the most it is not SO fatal disease as e
create wide spread alarm because of T.
few sporadic cases. i.

A CROWD of young fellows went on a
"hurrah" on Saturday night last and
kept up their orgies until Sunday morn
ing. They confined their attentions to
the south side and by way of amusement
broke windows, kicked in doors and OBJ
structed sidewalks with dry goods boxes.
The question is where was the south
side Waterman He could not fail to
hear "this sound of revelry by night" as
it was loud and long continued enough
to dispel the greatest torpidity.

A CORRESPONDENT of The Inter Ocean

A CORRESPONDENT of The Inter Ocean
protests vigorously against vaccination,
claiming that it is the fruitful parent OF
disease and affords but little protection
against smallpox. There cannot be
much doubt that vaccination has been
largely everdone, and that its value as q
preventative has been greatly sxagger-
ated. 1t is also true that there is great
deal more fear of small pox than the
character of the disease will warrant. In
Manitowoc county more people have died
of measles than of small pox and there
is but very little difference in the per
cent. OF deaths to the number of cases in
both diseases. One is about as contag
ious as the other, just as fatal, but 1t is
not the fashion to be alarmed at its sp-

The Milwaukee papers claim that the
points now sold as coming from the
Fond du Lac vaccine farm do not contain
the proper virus and are tipped with
mucilage or some other stuff either hurt
full or innocuous. Not one in ten works
properly. If this be true it is probable
that poison is communicated to the sys-
tenn through vaccination. Some inves,
tigation should be made and condign
punishment should follow any such Grim
inal act The state itself should take
some action In this matter both to pro
tect people from such criminal conduct
and to punish those whose cupidity will
go 70 auen scandalous extremes.

SOME three or four lake captains and
couple of manufacturers went to Po-
lock wedding last Sunday, masked and
unbidden. They pitched right in, en-
ioyed themselves to the fullest extent and
broke the hearts of half the girls present.
The worst of it is that most of them,
though young, are married and little
anxious that their wives shall rot know
how Sunday nights are spent. They
SLOUGH their hats on their eyes when they
meet girl, fearing that she may be one
of those with whom they tripped the
light fantastic and taught the first lesson
of love.

Last Saturday evening quite humble,

went down to MIR. Cassens, in the town
of Newton, to have good time. Judg

A little child of MIR. August Nauman
died recently, of lung fever.
There is some talk of another cheese
factory being built near here. Whether
1t is simply talk or not, remains to be
seen. Cheese makers have been doing
a good business in this county. for some
time; but If the county becomes over
stocked with cheese factories-cheese
making, as paying business, must cease.
