As there is small pox in the county, it
is advisable that all persons who have
not been vaccinated, should immediate

this true of the younger children who
have never been vaccinated.
We hope the new license law will be
better obeyed than was the local option
law. For policy's sake it will pay the
saloon men to permit no gambling, close

Death of q. A. Abrams.

Friday last has some peculiarly sad fea
lures. He was accidently shot some
time since with revolver, the bulle,
passing clear through his body and
through one of his kidneys. His life
was despaired of at times, but being g
man Of strong constitution. he to the as.
constituent of the doctors apparently re.
covered and returned to his occupation
as master bridge builder.
A few months since, his only child. q
bright little boy, was brought here 70,
burial. Soon after this he and his wife
decided to 60 to British Columbia to
make residence. A few weeks since
his wife left him to 20 there to make pre-.
parations for their new home, while Mr..
Abrams renamed to finish some bridge
work OH new railroad near Crookston.
While working here lie took cold an i
came to Pelnblna TO he nursed and treat
ed. An examination by the physicians
showed that his remaining kidney was
affected with acute Bright's disease. for
which there is no remedy. lie sank
fast and died on Friday. His wife was
telesraphed and after a long, sad journey
did not arrive until Wednesday, five DAYS
after his death
The telegraph had not told her OF. his
death but as che entered the house she
real the fatal news In the faces of the
friends awaiting her and she sank insen-
sible. On account of her illness it was
necessary to postpone the funeral until
the next day, Thursday. when services
were held by the Rev. e. II. Treglawny
under the auspices of the l. o. o. t., of
which he Was member. The sym
pathy of our citizens is with the doubly
bereaved wife and mother and the large
circle OF sorrowing relatives.

married TO Miss Alice Richardson, of
