In our country quarantine has been

In spite Of all such precautions
contagious diseases have found
their way into our seaport cities

suppose that they will do so again.
Every city and every town should
be a barrier to the plague. The

sanitary precaulion should be laid

Some excitement Was crealed in

Some excitement was created In
town last week over some alleged
ctookednsss on the part Of NJ.
Timmsi as Secretary oflhe Board
Of Education Of Lewis District, in
which a number Of orders on the
building fund Of Lewis District
had been drawn by him, which had
not been allowed BY the Board Of
Education, and were in the hands
different parties, and that q
number Of them had been paid by
ex-shetiF Hanly. Some censure
has also been INDUCED in because
the REaIsrER did not give al &C.
count of the affair in is last issue,
when the truth is the matter was
not made public until after the
REeIsrER had been printed and
mailed to its subscribers. This
ought TO satisfy those who have
seen fit to censute this paper.
On Wednesday night Of last
week, q warrant was sworn out for
the arrest Of Mr.. Timms, and was
served by Constable yanMatre.-
MI. Timms waived an examina.
ton aud gave bond in the sum Of
s1,OOOfor bis appearance at the
September term Of the Circuit
Court Of Mason County.
The whole transaction Is a
mystery, and at present much can.
not be saidin regard to the affair,
as the investigation by the Board
Of Education, which is now in
session, is progressing slowly, but
as far as the investigation has pro
Ceeded, it shows that matters are
not as bad as some Of the enemies
Of Mr.. Timms would have the pub.
lie to believe.
AS we said above, the matter is
shrouded in mystery that is yet to
be unravelled, and probably will
be soon. However, the whole mat.
ter will undergo a Judicial inyesti-
CATION, and, until that time, we
ask a suspension of public opinion,
for it is wrong TO PREJUDICE the
case.
1t is painfulto US as a journalist,
to mention this affair at all, but
duty to our readers requires it,
We believe now, and hope as well,
from the developments made and
the light thrown upon the transact.
ion, that Mr.. Timms will be able
to show to the entire satisfaction
Of a jury Of his countrymen that
he is not guilty Of the grave cbarg-
es made against him, under the
law.

at their conduct became great, and
when the show closed they we're
