The schools OF Wadswerth have been
closed one week, on account OF the fear
of scarlet fever becoming epidemic
among the children. The State Board
OF Health was appealed to by the trus-
Lees TO investigate and decide what ac-
tion should be taken in the matter of re,
opening the schools. The board of
Health responded promptly, and sent
one of their members to investigate The
decision was to reopen the schools-Feb-
ruary 18th, after giving the pupils in
structlons to avoid, as much as possible,
all places where there is any scarlet fe-
yer, and furthermore, that any pupil,
while at school, complaining OF sore
throat or at all feverisi, is to he sent
home until it is determined what the
trouble is. In regard to parties who
have cases of fever in the house, it is
lgently requested of them to arrange
matters SO that they can make change
OF wearing apparel, before going out and
minglng with their neighbors. After
the cases are terminated, either by re-
covery or death, the house should be
thoroughly fumgated, and the bedding
of the sick should be either boiled, fumi-
gated or burned, rs the germs OF the dis
ease can be disposed OF only in this man.

refusing to adopt these precautions, they

That they didn't catch anything but
colds?
That the fish were badly scared?
That this is one of 40 days and after

That it is time for society to take a
rest?
That some people received valentines
they liked and some people received
what they didn't like and made howl
to heaven about it,
That the only man in town who wears
a snow white sweater ornamented by a
Browny pin, and rides bike with a
wriggling motion, crept under sage
brush the other day and stayed there
until his folks became alarmed?
That he was scorching over plank
stretched across the Olinghouse slough ?
That while doing so he coasted off the
plank and went into the muddy water,
beautiful snow white sweater, bike,
Browny pin and all?
That the sweater shrunk, climbed up

his vacation in New Hampshire, where
he was during the Chicago convention.
He looks well and says he feels well
after his rest.

that the Democrats are all lined up
kicking themselves. Thousands of them
have bolted and are swearing by every
thing good and bad that they will never
swallow the Chicago platform.
what do they say they will do?"
"A great many of them say they will
vote for Mckinley; great many more
say they will go fishing and some say
they will support the ticket"
How are they up in Maine?'
"They are in a terrible condition.
You see Sewan is candidate for vice
president on a silver platform and is,
himself, free silver man. The can
didates for state and county offices are
gold men and on a gold platform. The
Democrats of the state can't consistent
ly vote for a national silver ticket and a
state gold ticket and hence i say they
are in a terrible condition. There are
a great many foreigners UP there in
that state who believe in silver, espec-
tally the Canadians"
What do the eastern people general
ly think of the silver movement"
They take it serious enough to strip
off their coats and go to work against
it From what L could hear there viii
be no opposition to gold, worth men
fioning, east of the Alleghanies. The
gold sentiment is very strong and the
eastern people are determined to fight
q hard battle. They honestly believe
that if Mr. Bryan is elected the worst
panic in the history of the country will
follow"
do they believe that the western peo-
pie are repudiators?"

think they are guided by false leaders

How about the sen tment among the

well, to tell you the truth, didn't
meet silverite on the train, and I
talked with great many men. I might
add, however, that Travelled in the
sleeper and can't say how many silver
men were in the smoking car and the
other passenger cars. 1t might be that
the silver sentiment was as strong in
the first car as the gold sentiment was
in the rear car. / don't know / pre-
