something About GEN. Rarrett.

st. Cloud Journal-Press>
One of the farmer candidates for governor
has ha ndle to his name. Gen. Barrett, of
somewhere north OF US, is the man; he is
comparatively new settler in the state. He
can wait--Dawson Sentinel
The editor Is evidently u gosling in Minue-
sofa matters. Gen. Barrett has lived in this
state and been prominent in the localities
where he has resided for the past thirty
years. All the old settlers of St. Cloud have
known him for the past quarter Of o century
and there is no man who hassmore fully their
respect. During. the war he was in the Union
army, and as the commander of brigade
fought, in Texas, the last battle of the war.
Whether or not he may ever be governor of
Minnesota, Gen. Barrett is man who is an
honor to the state and would honor that Office
or any other to which he might be elected.

EFFECTIVE HEALTH BOARDS.

The value of the state law establishing
boards of health in the various counties was
fully illustrated in the case of exposure to
smallpox at Crookston a few weeks ago. A
commercial traveller who had been out
among the farmers in the vicinity of Crooks
ION selling agricultural implements came
into Crookston very sick ON the I'd day of
May. He sent for a physician, who pro-
bounced the case to be smallpox.
The local board of health at once
placed the patient in quarantine
and telegraphed the facts to the
state board of health Virus was i'm
mediately forwarded by the secretary of
She state board to the health officer of
Crookston and all persons in the neighbour
hood who had been exposed to the disease
were promptly vaccinated. Notwithstand-
hg the fact that the young salesman had
been sick four or five days and had broken
put two days before he gave up visiting the
farmers at their homes and in the country
stores, there has not been another case of
smallpox in the entire community.
