The following notice was sent out to health
officers yesterday by the State Board CT
HEALTH
Smallpox is spreading throughout the
world to an extent not eQualed since 1893.
The disease now exists in eight counties in
Indiana and there are many centers of in
lection. There are also very probably many
concealed and unrecognized cases. No coun-
~ can reasonably expect to remain free
from this loathsome disease, as vaccination
has been greatly neglected for a decade or
more, and vaccination is our only sure pro-
lection The state board therefore recon-
mends vaccination and revaccination. Health
officers will publish this recommendation
and add their own advice to the same eff
feet Glycerin lymph only should be used
for Vaccinating and the operation done IN
an aseptic manner No untoward results
will follow If this care Is taken. In case
smallpox appears, isolation, quarantine and
vaccination of the afflicted and the exposed
must immediately follow. Guards must be
employed TO maintain quarantine, and out
side of cities and incorporated towns the
township trustee must furnish needed sup
plies. Domicillary quarantine should not
be depended upon IN cities and towns"

This was the heading Of the weather col

smiles and congratulations. It seemed to
pull one out of a mere existence into life
worth living. It changed men from coal

turned her attention from frozen water

her social duties. 1t brought a realization
of the fact that clothes are sometimes worn
for their beauty as well as warmth. Per

SAMPSON-SCALEY MATER.
Ths Old Controversy Resumed In the

Tho Old Controversy Resumed In tho

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2h.-The entire
executive session Of the Senate yester-
day was devoted wholly to the discuss
sion Of the promotion Of Admirals
Sampson and Schley and other naval
officers engaged In the Santiago cam
paign over the heads of officers who
were their superiors In rank. The
controversy was then postponed for
twenty days, after "A vote had been
taken to call for the records Of the
navy department bearing upon the
conduct Of all affected by the advance.
ment.
The discussion arose over the reso-
luton, Of which Senator Butler was
the author, calling for these docu-
ments. As originally offered. 1t asked
for the reasons for the advancement,
but the resolution was modified SO rs
to request the record only. The first
vote was ON a motion made by Senator
Hale to lay the resolution on the
table, and on this the ayes aud noes
were taken, resulting: Ayes 90, noes
50. The resolution was then allowed
to pass without further division.
For three hours previous to this,
however, the Senate had been en-.
gagged in a very animated verbal bat
tie which involved many i~ntricacies
and was participated in by a large
number OF Senators. The main con
tests were, first, over the general
policy Of promoting these officers over
others who were characterized as
quite as deserving though less fortu-
nate, In that they were deprived of
participation in the war, and, second,
as to the relative merits of Sampson
and Schley.
Senators German and Wellington,
Of Maryland, one u Republican and the
other n Democrat, united In a fierce
attack upon the navy department for
favoring Sampson over Schiey, while
Senator'S Lindsay, Pettigrew, Perkins
and Money attacked the whole system
of promotion as ~ species of ~favorit-
ism which was not warranted by the
facts" The method of the admins
tration was defended by Messrs. Hale,
