PHILADELPHIA physicians estimate
that over 1000. 900 persons have been
vaccinated Whereabouts since the re-
cent smallpox scare, and not single
case of tetanus has resulted. The
chief of the health bureau says: 'We
are convinced that tetanus only
follows vaccination when it's germs
are taken into the wound accidentally
or through impure virus. There is
not the slightest danger in being
voccinated if proper precautions are
taken.

Everybody knows Judge of Probate
Bonham and the following from the
Duluth News-Tribune will prove of
interest: Judge Bonham is quite a
chicken fancier, or was until yester-
day. Mrs. BOnham and their young
son, who are visiting relatives in the
southern part of the state, were, of
course, familiar with his prediction
for feathered pets, and, each unknown
to the other. decided to send him a
few 'choice specimens. AS a result,
yesterday the judge got telephone
message from the express Office that a
consignment was awaiting his orders.
He hurried down. to find crate full
of chickens. the veriest ''mOngrels"
that ever trod the prairies of GoOdhue
county. He was disgusted, but, as
they were from Mrs. BOnham. he ap-
preciated her intentions. and said
nothing. When he reached his Office
there was another call from a second
express company. On going there he
found another crate of poultry, this
time from his son, and they were
worse to look at than the first outfit.
He took them away, making many
mental observations. By the time he
got back to the court house the gang
was on, and a third call from an ex-
press Office came in. Similar calls
came in at. short intervals through
out the day. The sight OF a chicken
now induces the judge to indulge in
an amateur apoplepsic fit.'

Governor Athinsons Message.

Governor Atkinsnn's biennial message to the
legislature is a voluminous document but none the
less profound and interesting. 1t contains no ex-
cuses for depleted treasury as did the messages
Of his predecessors for quarter of century, but
10 the contrary informs us OF the fact that the
handsome sum of more than a million and a half
dollars was in the treasury at the end of the last
fiscal year. Notwithstanding this large surplus in
the states finances taxes have been reasonable and
the state institutions have been literally rum but
economy has been strictly observed in proper ap.
plicatiohs to the very best purpose of the appro.
priations made for these institutions.
His administration has been one of the best
and most successful in the history of the state and
the state has more signally advanced commercial
ly. socially and along the lines of industrial de-
velopment during his administration than any other
period of four years since the states organization.
The recommendations made by him are COM
plmented on every side as iudclous progressive
and proper. The suggestions he makes on all i'm
portant questions affecting the state are conceded
even by political opponents be N the highest in
terest of the states best welfare, and those of his
own faith are in hearty accord with his ideas
The people of the state may feel assured that
most of these splendid recommendations will re.
ceive the respectful considerations of the legisla.
ture and that many of them Will Constitute the
basis of laws that body will enact.
