SMALLPOX REPORTS.
The Papers of the State Full! of the Scare.
No Nearby Cases,

Many papers of the state are full of
reports of smallpox cases from differ
ent sections of the northern part of
the state. From Green Bay, Chippe-
way Falls, Stanley and Merrill come
more or less alarming reports. A
severe case is reported from Berlin in
Marathon county and in the logging
camps near Chippewa Falls the disease
is said to be Spreading. No nearby
cases are reported, but those who have
not been vaccinated would be taking
but reasonable precautions to undergo
this preventative measure.
