Reported Extension OF the Illinois

surveyors have been at work for some days
in the western part of this state laying out a
line for new railroad from East Dubuque

ultimate destination is evidently the
cities of St Paul and Minneapolis. Close or

reason to believe that the Illinois Central
railway is behind the movement, as the line

I,r0uhles In Croatia.

AGRAM, August 80, 1883 The tronb.
les in Croatia continue. The municipa
authorities Of Agram declare that they
would rather resign their positions than
re-place the Hungarian arms and no.
tees on the pubic buildings. The
newspapers of Hungary regard the Sitn.
alton 10 Croatia as serious one. The
members of the national party in the
Chamber of Deputies will meet on sep.
TENDER for the purpose Of discussing
the situation in Croatia, and the attitude
they shall resume in regard to it. The
occurrence at Zagorien on Monday, in
which "a number of persons were killed
and wuonded, has made a deep impress
sion. 1t is believed the feeling against
the Magyars is due to an agitation
which has been conducted for some
years by emissa ries scattered among the
peasants of Croatia, and also to the m
creasing exacfions of tax gatherers, fol
which Hungary il held directly an
swerable. The anti Magyar riots al
Zagorien have been quelIed. The peas.
ants who took part in them have fled tt

Several Hungarian Cabinet ministers
have returned to their posts OH account

vNcin0oi ION.

1t is not generally known TO the pub
lie that one of the requirements OF the
law il that children must be vaccinated
to qualify them to attend the public
schools. This al rirst may seem like an
arbitrary requirement, but upon second
thought none but the most unreasonable
could object to every means known
being made use OF to prevent the spread
of infectious diseases. Schools have
sometimes been entirely broken up by
the prevalence of contagious diseases
in the district. Amongst these diseases
is that generally the most dr. saded-the
smallpox. Contagious fevers and iph-
iberia though often more fatal in their
results than smallpox, are not so much
feared and 1t was a fortunate thought
that led Jenner to the discovery of vac
cination as preventative of loathsome
disease that spreads such general alarm
wherever it makes its appearance. At
ter years of investigation and trial it is
generally admitted by all schools Of
medicine and the public in general that
vaccination is reasonably sure proven
ta,ive of smallpox. So well convinced
of this fact was our late Legislature
that the law referred to was passed.
The public schools, as a general thing,
will open throughout the State next
Monday, and then children, parents and
teachers will be brought face TO fac
with the law which requires all child
rem 10 be vacci mated az requisite for ad-
mission to the schools. The question
arises: Shall this law be carried out ?
We unhesitatingly say it should be-
1t demands no great sacrifice TO put II
in operation. Parents can have
their children vaccinated by their regu-
lar physician if they prefer to do so and
pay him his charges. With the latter
the law has nothing to do.
For those who do not comply with
the requirements of the law or for those
who are not able to pay the expenses of
vaccination toa regular family physi
clan, a physician is designated by the
County authorities to perform the duty
of vaccination and for such duty the
County pays him fifty cents for each
operation. This is by no means very
"sott snap" for the physician amt it
relieves the parents Of children Of some
trouble and little expense. When the
law does 80 much, the parents ought
to be willing to do the remainder. The
physician 30 appointed to vaccinate all
children who attend the pubic schools
has the power to perform that duty
without the consent of the parents, but
it would certainly be foolish paren,
who would object. BY a mutual ar.
rangelnent the physician could call \,
the homes of the children and vaccinate,
or by another and perhaps more con
venient arrangement he could meet
them all at the school house at a GER
tain stated period and do the work all at
one time. There need be no trouble
hatever when parents are willing TO
permit the law to have its course.
