CURED in Cuba prior to the precautionary
measures taken in consonance with the i'm
portant discovery made by Maj Walter
Reed, surgeon. United States army, and
his associates concerning the propagation
of the disease by the bites of infected mos
qultoes. Since prophylactic measures based
upon Maj. Reeds discovery have been in
stituted no case of this dread disease has
been reported from the army in Cuba and
the reports from the civilian population
nave been equally satisfactory. The i'm
portsnce Of Maj. Reeds work cannot be
overestimated. He has shown how the
human race may be freed from the scourge
OF yellow fever as Jenner showed how it
might be freed from the deadly ravages of
smallpox. e .

and among these was recorded the total
mortality of the army, 81 cases from this
disease. No cases of smallpox was report
ed from either Cuba or Porto Rico.
Although the infections of scarlet fever,
mumps and measles were quite prevalent
and that of smallpox MT infrequent in tie
United States during the year, 1t Is crafty

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1902-03-21

The people of Cambridge were shock
ed last Friday afternoon to learn that
Thos diversion had dropped dead upon
the street. For months the old gentle
man had been in poor health, yet he has
been seen daily upon the streets, cheer
fully greetins old time friends and pass
ing his leisure hours away as best he
could. Many of our citizens who met
him on the day Of his death read in his
face the suffering be bore up under and
cheerfully greeted him, yet with little
hope that he would be with us ere the
day passed. About three o'clock in the
afternoon he went to n A Nelson's
where he drank cup of beef tea and
after few moments rest started for his
home. When he reached Mrs Lunds
place he seemed to straighten up, take a
step forward and then fall upon his back.
Some of our citizens who CHANGED to see
him FASTENED to his assistance and pick
ing him up tenderly carried him to the
house. A doctor was hastily summoned
but ere he arrived life was extinct. His
death was due to heart failure. Thomas
diversion was born in Norway on Feb. 2,
1892 and came to America when but ten
years of age, settling in Racine county,
where he worked on a farm and later in
a store until he came to this village in
1852 when he entered the employ of P 3
Hovey as clerk in his store here. In 1872
he engaged in the hardware and nipple
ment business and continued in that
line, building up large and successful
trade, until 1893-Cambridge News.

Miss Libby Hackett of Green Bay

Miss Libby Hackett OF Green Bay
occupies a responsible position in the
millinery establishment of Mrs. Haskins.
The Annual Spring Opening at Bah
cock & Birkenmeyer's last Saturday and
Monday proved quite satisfactory, not
withstanding the very stormy and cold
weather which prevailed Many people
attended the opening and on Saturday
evening the store was packed till closing
time. Souvenirs were given and every
thing carried out just as advertised.

feel very much as if they had parted
with their money under false pretenses.
It was shrewd business on the part of
the management of the show to instruct
the box Office not to sell ladies' tickets,
for it filled the bald headed row. The
only redeeming feature of the show was
the dancing of the Halves Sisters and
they were entitled to travel with better
company.
The entertainments at the Metho-
odist church Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings have surely been
all and even more than was advertised
Or recommended. The program nightly
has been varied and changed, consisting
of moving pictures, illustrated songs,
vocal and instrumental music from the
photograph. The views from the NOV
| ing picture machine alone are worth
more than the price of admission. The
entertainment is clean, instructive and
pleasing. Mr.. and Mrs. Basel have been
listed as entertainers for years and they
! are we'll up in that line. This Thurs
day. evening is the last night they will
be here and if you have not been to see
them, 60 by all means. The program to-
night is one of the best of the series and
will be of interest to all.
