Quite a panic has been created by
the breaking out of diphtheria in sew
eral families. Two or three children
of Sam'l Alton were the first to be
taken down nth very sore throat.
One died. The attending physician
says it was not diptheria, but that the
child died from the effects of a dose of
liniment administered by mistake.
Two daughters of L. A. Hess, aged l3
and 20. were attacked few days af.
terward and both died. Another case
occurred in the family of VIM. Hamil-
ton; the patient recovered. DR..
Bright reported five cases in the fam
lily of Geo. Akers, near Elmwood, but
it was thought that all would recover.
The schools have been closed in dist s
Nos 2, 3. 5, and 6. The board of
health has taken measures to control
and suppress the disease.
The tax roll has been placed in the
hands of the town treasurer.
The town clerk furnishes us with
the following statement of taxes for

county tax $535.30, county school tax

Spring Lake doesn't contribute much
towards the support of the state and
county government this year, as the
following figures will show. The to-
tai amount of state and county taxes
assessed against the town is 1901 70.
The town gets back the special bridge
tax, $3.50 Costs recovered, 1888 %,
