 The marines waded through more rice fields, forded the river in water up to their waists and carried the forts forts, meeting with feeble resistance the first encounter having disheartened the enemy.

health board have issued notice that all
citizens not previously vaccinated must
be so treated within three days. All the
smallpox cases in the city have been re-
moved to detention hospitals with burt

MISSING MONEY FOUND.
John Hannefin Lost His Savings for
Few Hours

When John Hanrefin, of West Superior
woke up at the Viereg hotel, E22 East
Seventh street. yesterday morning, the
first thing he old was to Investigate as
to the safety Of a roll of $196 that he had
when he went to bed. He looked under
the pillow, searched his pockets and hunt
ed all over the room, but could not find
the money. He thought he had been
robbed and notified the police
Detectives Murnane and Christian were
sent to the hotel with Hannefn and the
room was again searched. No trace of
the money could be found. Suspicion was
directed toward no one in particular, but
the detectives were inclined to Hannefin's
belief that some one had taken his money.
After a consultation in the hall they de-
cided on another search Of the room and
lying under the bureau, found the miss
ing roll intact.
Hanneftn was so delighted with recov-
ering his money that he did not care how
it temporarily left his possession and
started for West Superior.
