Contracted Smallpox
the Second Time.

Special to the Toledo Blade
Marion, Ohio, July 26.-The case of
Frank Weaver, of this city, Who has =
serious case of smallpox after having
suffered from the disease only two years
ago, created an investigation which
brought . letter from Secretary Probst
of the State Board OF Health to the
local board to the effect that he has
personally known four or five cases
where people have had smallpox twice,
and physicians say that one medical au-
thority cites the case Of man who had
the disease five times.
Local physicians claim that there is
but one way to become immune and
that is to vsccinste and keep vaccinat-
ing until the vaccination will NO longer
take; that, so long rs vaccinations take,
the operation should be repeated. Even
then the immune condition Is liable TO
run out in two or three years.

train with a very pretty married woman,
wife of John Richer, who conducts a
barber shop here As the woman left
for Belle Center and did not arrive there,
and as McArd'e had been frequent
caller upon her, it was rumored they
had eloped. The friends of MeATdle here
claimed that ne was at Elmore, o t., vis-
iting an uncle. A telegram from the mar
shal, Mr.. John Brown, gave the infor-
nation that McArdle was there with q
woman but had left. The description
the marshal gave of the woman exactly
fits that of Mrs Richer.
When Mrs. Richer left, her husband
thought she would go to Belle Center,
but ON making inquiry was informed
that she had not arrived there.
