as to the expenditure of money. he
never took holiday. and the circus

about IS years old.

his sisters, are now down with the

citizen, possessed of the respect and
goodwill of all who know him. We
hope that his severest trials have pass
ed. and that the remaining members OF
his loved family may be spared to him.
Another case In another family-that
of Herman Zuda-is reported, but we
still hope that with careful measures
the spread of the disease may be pre-
vented.
