Mr.. Powell's children had never
been vaccinated, and two had such
mild attacks that they sent for no
medicine.
Mr.. Sallee's wife and baby, who
visited Mr.. Powell, both had small
pox in mild form and they had
never been vaccinated.
a part of Mr.. Hodges family
had not been vaccinated. The
one that had the mildest attack
had never been vaccinated.
Porter Gibson (colored), aged
10, had mild form of smallpox
about 8 months ago. He had new
er been vaccinated.
Mr.. Gillaspie said it went harder
with him and his wife than with
the children, and they had been
vaccinated and their children not.
Alice johnson (colored), one of
the first to be vaccinated, while
working at the Ringo Hotel, has
but lately recovered from a severe
attack of smallpox.
VIM. Brenton, 20 years old,
who has just recovered from an at
tack of smallpox, says he was in
bed but three days. He had new
er been vaccinated
VIM. Duncan, living near Paris,
Mo-, wanted to go the World 5
Fair in 1893, but his mother
wouldn't consent till he and his
two sisters had been vaccinated
He waited until their arms were
well, went to Chicago, contracted
the smallpox, came home and gave
it to his sisters. Both sisters died
and he is badly pitted.
Dave Gibson (colOred), - years
old, was vaccinated about ) years
ago and it took we'll. He is but
lately recovered from a severe at
tack of smallpox.
Schuyler Williams (colored), had
smallpox last fall in a mild form.
He had never been vaccinated.
Babe Bright (colored) had the
smallpox two weeks after being
vaccinated.
1t is not vaccination but good
health, cleanliness and quarantine
that protect most. ITO vaccinate
in an epidemic time predisposes
toward an attack by lowering the
tone of the system and its powers
of resistance"
All of our recent cases may YET
be reported. Too many are still
in the pest house to make the list
longer at this time. Enough cas-
es have been given to prove the
above assertions. Every epidemic

W. j. BRYAN, IN his COmmoner,
scores Rolla Nj. Wells, the Demo
cratic nominee for Mayor of st,
Louis, for his political sins. Bry-
an charges that Wells boltcd the
Dem ocratic ticket i'll lS9J-resign-
ing from the presidency of Dem
ocratic club in St. Louis that year;
he also bolted the ticket in 1898
and in 1900 supported the Mckin-
ley administration. Wells only
reply to this is that the issues in
st. Louis are purely local, but Bry-
an thinks differently, and so does
the MEssAGE-and there are 9TH
ers. AS Bryan argues: I'm the
campaign of 1900 the Republican
party stood for an imperial policy
and trust domination rs well as for
the gold standard, and Mr., Wells
gave his influence to that party.
If Mr.. Wells has undergone no
change of opinion, what reason is
there to doubt that he will use the
influence of his office to defeat
Democratic congressman in 1902
as he nsed his individual influence
to defeat Democratic Congressman
in 1896, 1898 and 1909"
