when daylight came the ground was
searched for signs OF blood, but only the
footsteps of two men could b. scen i'm the

Business Work of Wind.

The regular monthly meeting OF thu
school committee, adjourned from Mon
day night was held last night.
Mr. John White of Cranston street wa'
I in attendance TO ask the committee IL he,
like other folks" might not send his
| children to school without being vacci
mated. Mr.. White said that in some parts
OF the town children who are not vacci'
mated attend school, and he had been in
formed by physician that it would be
positively injurious to his children to
have them vacoinated.
The committee informed Mr.. White that
the vaccination law was state law and
that any act on the part OF tho committee
that would permit child To attend school
without first being yaccinated would sub
ject them to heavy fine.

be granted.

vas appointed for trial term TO fill the
vacancy.
A few cases Of diphtheria were reported
in Auburn few weeks ago, IL was told
i'm the meeting, and upon investigation 1t
was found that the imperfect Smeade sys-
TEN of heating and ventilating in the
Auburn school was possibly TO blame for
the illness.
The fire that burns up the closet refuse
had not even been kept burning, so the
arising gases permeatsd the school rooms
Inc committee voted that the janitor be
ordered to keep the stack fire burning.
A i3-year- old boy of Auburn named w.
