DIED..

Again it becomes necessary to note the
passing of the soul TO Paradise of one OF
God little ones.
Inez May WILDER, aged years, 6
months and % days, second daughter of
G. J. and Elizabeth WILDER, after a
week'si illness of membraneous Group, died

She was of bright, happy disposition;
greatly beloved by all; made a member of
Christ in st. Paul's church, July 20,
1881; an attendant at the Sunday school
and is the first for over three years that
God has taken unto Himself from the
scholars of the school. Inez, in four short
DAYS, followed her cousin. Mamie WILDER,

happy souls have met and are together
forevermore.
The heartfelt sympathy of all goes out
to the bereaved parents and sisters. Flu

Here for Tascott.

A young man employed at Lewis &
Parks factory on the west side since
February 13 was examined Monday al
ternoon by officers Alrich and Damon, OF
Chicago, and Sheriff Bullock, under the
suspicion that he was Tascott, the sup
posed murderer of A. j. Smell. The man
labors under the disadvantage at the
present time, of resembling quite closely
some of the pictures of Tascott, but nc
marks were found on bis BODY to CORE
spond with those known to be upon Tas-
colts person and consequently he was re-
leased. As it was known in Chicago
that Alrich and Damon were here in
search of Tascott, the excitement
at police headquarters ran high un-
til it was learned by telegraph that the
Watertown case was one of mistaken
identity.

A Warning Against Small Pox.

- warning against oman FOX.
Secretary Reeve, of the state board OF
health, has issued a circular to the local
boards in Wisconsin in which he says that
the state board has very recently received
official notice of the occurrence OF
cases Of small pox in nearly all the states
contiguous to Wisconsin, and has also in
formation, official and other, of the exist
ence Of that disease in various parts ofthc
United States. In California it is 80 pre-
valent that it has been declared epidemic
by the board of health of that state. The
board adds: Gas this disease may be con-
tracted in one state and develop in one
far distant therefrom, these facts are en-
inently suggestive Of danger to usin Wis
consin, and they are furnished for the in
formation of local health boards in this
state, with the earnest suggestion that
such board should be carefully on their
guard, and should watch with vigilance
during the ordinary period of incubation
ofsmall pox usually about fourteen days.,
lest it develop in the persons Of any who
NAV reach their respective communities
from abroad or after travel. It 10 further
suggested that health boards everywhere
urge upon all within their jurisdiction the
advantages and protection to be derived
