HEALTH BOARD
URGES VACCINATION

The Board Of Health has adopted
the following resolution:
Whereas, All medical authorities
throughout the civilized world admit
that the surest method to STAMP out
smallpox is vaccination and quaran-
tine. The statistics of the coroner S
physician show that less than 2 per
cent of cases Of smallpox had been
successfully vaccinated, and that
case had not been vaccinated for
40 years. Also. the st atistics Of
this Office show that duting the last
six months ending October 31st,
1902, 95 per cent of the cases occur
ing in this city were members Of the
Coiored race. This fact proving
that great many members Of said
race have not been successfully vac
cinated; therefore, be 1t
Resolved, The members of this
board realizing this fact and wish
ing to prevent an epidemic of small
pox in this city the coming winter
urge upon all physicians, clergy
men, teachers and employers of
labor, to use their influence to have
all children over one year old vacci-
mated. And all others who have not
been successfully vaccinated during
the past five years to be vaccinated
at once. Also, that copy of tn is
resolution be given to the news
papers of this city for publication.

FRS ARE BEING CUT IN
MAINE FOR CHRISTMAS,

Nearly million sapling fir trees
from SIX to twenty feet tall will be
shipped from Maine this fall. Most
of them 60 from the starboard
towns on the decks of coasting
schooners and steamboats,, though
fully 500 fiat cars will be filled to
complete the quota of Christmas
trees which the wholesome dealers
in the big cities will take for the
holiday trade.
The We TX Of cutting the trees and
tying them in bundles begins early
il November and those who have
large orders to fill do not get
through their work until December
10, by which time the last tree must
be on its way to market. 70 supply
this quantity of greenery more
than 1000 acres Of woodland must
be cut over, and fully 500 men and
many children and women will find
employment for few weeks.
When the work is finished the
people of Maine will have about
500, 900 in money and more than
1000 acres Of cleared land that had
been Of no use to anybody, to show
for their work. The contractors pay
from three to four cents for small
trees and from 25 to 40 cents for
large and symmetrical ones, when
delivered at the wharf or car
station. After paying the freight to
the place of destination, they mako
about rs per. cent clear profit on
the investment. The city dealers
pay carriage and sell the trees for all
that their customers are able or
willing to pay. AS a rule the prices

n.RsOn'S Diat'harge ordered.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. Nov. 1.-THE
discharge Of Alan G. Mason, the Bos-
ton clubman accused of the murder of
Clara A. Morton at Waverley a week
ago last Saturday night, has been or
dcred by Judge Charles Almy of the
Third district court of eastern Midi
sex. The government lawyer said that
an investigation had failed to disclose
evidence sufficient to hold the accused
man, and the court at once announced
the failure to find probable cause and
ordered the discharge of Mason.

charged early in December are
double those received a few days
before Christmas but, in case the
demand is larger than was antici-
pated, the asking price is advanced
every day until Christmas, unless
the arrival of a later train load
gluts the market, which compels the
owners to unload at any price.

the contractors 25 cents delivered
at The railroad will sell at from $1.25
10 So in the city until Christmas,
after which date those left over are
sold for banking brush or given to
any body who will take them away.
The balsam fir tree, which is
used almost exclusively at Christmas
time, is the most worthless wood
that grows in the northern forest.
1t is not fit for lumber OF for fuel.
When mixed with five times its Iown
bulk Of white spruce, it can be
sparlngly used in the making Of
sulrhite pulp for paper stock.
Thet trees grow rapidly on BARR
hilisides where nothing else will
thrive. and when once stand is
made the thickets become so dense
that nothing but rabbit can pene.
ira te them. For this re ason thou.
sands of acres OF land are made
worthless until the trees are remov-
ed and the stumps burned out so
that the ground may be ploughed.
The demand for Christmas trees in
the cities has therefore proved a
double blessing to all farmers who
have lands that are overgrown with
f rs.

T. They are as follows. Jack Mccoy,

Prichard. Bert Gatlin. Joe Beemas,
Thomas Blua, NJ. Brow. John Beatai
and John Blua
The men who lost their lives were
the only persons in the pit, and none
was left to tell the story. All the bod
les have been recovered, and as none
were burned the conclusion is that
death was due TO after-damp. The ex-
pIosion did not injure the shaft, which
was new one. and the fire that fol-
lowed was put out before II did much
damage. The sound of the explosion
was heard plainly above ground. and
the rescuers went TO work promptly
The explosion occurred at a depth OF
240 feet.
The machinery was not injured by
the explosion. and miners working at
the mouth Of the pit descended as soon
as 1t was safe.
The condition of the mine indicated
that the men might. had presence of
mind been exercised, made their es-
cape. The bodies were found within
a comparatively small radius. The
fire was put out before it had reached
any of them.
The MILKY & Dow Mining company,
which owns the shaft, Is one Of the
heaviest operators in the Choctaw Ma
ton. The principal stockholders are
Charles A. Dow Of Houston. Tex. and
John Mildly of Dallas, Tex. They OPP

cause such disastrous explosion,
