The Weather for February.

Hicks, the weather prophet, makes
the following predictions for weather
during the present month: -.
From about the 9Th to the 10th falls
a regular and decided storm period.
On the eighth near the center of this
period, the moon is in conjunction with
sun and earth, or at its "New," while
less than two days after, it is on the
celestial equator. From about the 9TH
to the 10th may be expected an un-
seasonable rise. of temperature, the
barometer will fall to low and threat
ening indications, and storms of
marked energy will organize in western
extremes and take up their march
eastward across the country. During
a period of three days, including the
9Th and 10th, no one need be surprised
to see a warm wave for the season.
attended by lightning and thunder,
with heavy rains to the southwark,
turning to snow and blizzard along the
north side of. the. country. g.
The regular storm period reaching
from the 10Th to the Goth will show
strongly the influence of the Venus dis
turbanee, combined with the growing
Vernal equinox. High temperatures,
low barometer and rain, thunder and
lightning will be the order during the
first stages of the disturbances; but
these will quickly give place to driving
snow to the west and north with
change to high barometer, northwest
gales and very much colder.
Snow and billiards will follow
quickly on the heels of rain and thun-
der, and very cold wave for the sea-
son will push close after the western
sides of storms.

Telephone Line to Mile Laos Lake.

An effort is going to be made by the
business men and farmers between
Vineland and Brainerd to have a tele-
phone line constructed between those
two places, and meeting will be held
on the seventh of this month at the
Borden lake school house to discuss
the matter. The matter to be discussed
will be whether line will be built by
a new company to be Incorporated or
whether some outside corporation will
be induced to build the line. A DELE
gate from each township in the terri
tory between Brainerd and the Mile
Laos lake will be sent to meeting to
be held at the Windsor hotel at Brain
erd on the 18th of this month to fur
ther consider the matter. The people
around the lake are getting tired of
being isolated from the world and
think that without railroads and tele-
phones they are rather behind the
times.
There has been some talk of having
a line built from Milaca to the lake.
and it is understood that the Rural
Telephone Co. will built line provid-
ing a sufficient bonus is raised. It
would seem that if a telephone line
could be constructed to the lake that
in short it would prove good paying
proposition in that neighborhood, as
the lake country will settle up at a
rapid rate right along. Tux. -

A ROW IN DISTRICT 2.
The School Board in District No.
Orders all School Children
To Be Vaccinated.
There is Some Opposition to the Order
and Chas. Slater Refuses to
Recognize the Same.

Smallpox has been the occasion for
lively war out in school district No. g.:
1t seems that recently smallpox broke
out in the house of Geo. Henry, only
half mile from the school, and the
school board decided that they would
compel all children attending the
school to be vaccinated or remain at
home. The edict of the board seems
to have been obeyed in most cases.
One family who did not wish to have
their children vaccinated quietly took
them out, of school, but Town Clerk
Chas. Slater. did not take kindly to the
new ruling and decided to- stand for
fight. He has had several children at
tending the school-four or five rang
ing in age from eight to sixteen years
and he did not propose to have them
vaccinated, and also proposed to have
them attend the school. Notwith-
standing the order of the board he sent
his children to school only to be sent
home by the teacher. The irate father
did not intend to be bulldozed or i'm
posed upon and so went with the chill
dren to school and told them to stay
there. Of course the teacher refused
to admit them to classes or to get their
lessons and the children would remain
in school short time and then 90
home. The board which is composed
of Messrs. McVicker, Orion and Lamb,
have decided to make test case of it,
and wrote the State board of health
for information. DR.. Bracken of the
State board, replied and sent the school
board a copy of the attorney generals
opinion to the effect that where small
pox was epidemic compulsory vaccina-
ton could be enforced on children at
tending school. It is presumed that
there is an epidemic of smallpox out in
Green bush and the board intends to
fight Mr.. Slater to finish. They say
that the town clerk by persisting in
sending his children to school is dis
tturbing the peace and unless he reeoe-
nizes the solemn mandate of the law
vigorous measures will be adopted to
compel him to obey the law and orders
Of the school board.
In order to make the order of the
school board good the State board must
declare an epidemic of smallpox in
Greenbush, and then if there really is
an epidemic of this character the town
board as health officers have big Job
on their hands, for an epidemic means
rigid quarantine, etc. AS matter of
fact it is very, doubtful if many of the
cases of smallpox in Greenbush were
ever reported to the. State board of
health. The question will be what is
an epidemic? And so matters stand
out in the peaceful precincts of district
No. 2. In the meantime the smallpox
microbe Journeys around from house to
house, and the best thing for parents
to do is to have their children vaccin-
ated, and if parents have never been
vaccinated they had better get hump
on themselves and cultivate a scab.

tween them a black leather valise, which
contained $25, 900 In gold. Besides the va
lise, each carried a formidable pistol. as was

wealth was deposited on a counter behind
n screen of ornamental iron work, and
there, for the next two hours, one Of the
tellers was busy cashing warrants. Very
few, II any, of the warrants we're carried
out Of the room by their owners. The
teachers seemed to be perfectly willing to
comply with the wishes of the board, and
to cash them with the Clearing House
banks, thereby saving to the board 2 per
cent In interest.
