Notice

Owing to the prevalence of small pox
throughout the state, the State Board of
health has issued an order directing the
enforcement of Rule No E of their regu.
~lations, which reads as follows:
"No child shall be permitted to enter
any school in the state until satisfactory
evidence Of successful vaccination has
been given to the proper authorities"
This gives me no discretionary power;
the law is equally binding on all to as
sist in carrying it out.
The State Board of Health made the
rule in the interest of public welfare,
and in their judgment the conditions
exist which call for its rigid enforce
ment.
Nearly all in the north side school
have been vaccinated. Parents of child
rem that have not been v~accinated are
requested to have them vaccinated and
procure a certificate of the same.

Saturday evening last Mrs. E. J. Berry
and a few assistants arranged a surprise
party for Miss Grace Crowl, this date be-
ing her birthday. At an early hour the
spacious rooms of the Crowl home we're
we'll filled with a merry crowd Of friends.
and a most enjoyable evening was spent.
The married people amused themselves
with cards. while in the basement the
younger element INDUCED in the may
whiri of the waltz, Angus Neil furnishing
the music. This occasion also being the
date Of Rev. Dobbyn's birthday, he, too,
was a guest of honor and participated
in the happy f:stivities; and as an evil
dence of the high esteem in which he is
held, the guests presented him with a
handsome set of books. So entirely sur
prised was he by this unexpected demon
stration of kindness, that tor a moment
bis power Of speech left him, but the
expression OF his face told better than
words his feeling Of thanks and appfe-
citation. Miss cFpwI also RECEIVED many
kindly remembrances, At the close Of
the evening delicious refreshments were
served, and the guests departed feeling
that l1heir tims could not have been 0
and ~agreeably spent.

1t was Mr.. Hanford's privilege to ap.
pear with Edwin Booth when that emf
nent actor produced 1.-THE Tanning of the
Shrew." Mr.. Hanford was Mr.. Booths
understudy and on several occasions
when the great tragedian was ill he
played PETRUCHIO to the entire salts
faction of the audiences. These expert
ences are of particular importance in
view of the present revival by the J. B.
Delcher Co. of "The Tanning of the
Shrew," in which Mr.. Hanford will essay
the role of PETRUCHIO, thus fulfilling
the prophecy of Edwin Booth who pre-
dicted for him a shining success in the
character. Mr.. Hanford and a splendid
company including Miss Helen Grantley
will present Shakespeare's merriest play
at the opera house on March 9Th.

1t is gratifying to know that the pub
lie taste is once more inclined toward
Shakespeare. Never in the history OF
the United States have the PLAYS of the
Bard of Avon been as popular as now.
This popularity has brought into greater
prominence than eve the few remaining
stars of the classical drama who have
nobly stood by the Shakesperean ship
when the storms Of farce comedy and
bowling m%elodrama threatened its des-
truction. Conspicuous among this faith
full band is Chas. B. Hanford. Perhaps
no other actor in America has scored as
many successes in the legitimate field
either individually Or in conjunction with
other we'll known stars.

Doughty called the names of those consti-
tuting the jury appointed by the court,
the same persons having witnessed the
hanging of Charles Brown. As each
mans name was mentioned he filed out
into the Jail enclosure and took position
facing the scaffold. Then came the ply
sicians and other witnesses.
| Precisely at 10 o'clock the door of
Young's cell was thrown wide open and
the prisoner walked out into the corridor,
taking position between two attendants
His arms were pinioned behind him and
he wore new suit of black clothes, Civ
ing him very respectable appearance.
Slowly the procession moved down stairs
and in few seconds John Young fully
realized what it meant to commit murder.
He was face to face with the gruesome
instrument upon which he SO soon must
die. With no loss of time two guards
had his feet strapped, and while this was
being done the Sheriff had adjusted the
black cap and set the fatal moose. AS the
drop fell Rev. Mr. Stoddard read from the
service of the Episcopal prayer book.
| After hanging for thirty minutes the
body was taken down and post norton
held.
Undertaken Hiram H. Earnest will bury
the remains at New Lisbon by the side of
those of Charles Brown
Otto Keller, one of the men who took
part in this crime, saved his life by max
ing full confession, and sentence will be
passed on him at the next term of court.
The gallows will be taken down in 9
few days and stored away.

cap were placed in position, and the feet
were being pinioned.
The drop fell at 1907 There was nc
apparent tremor in Young's body after
the terrible fall In few minutes the
physicians gathered about the body to as
certain when the last signs of life passed
away.
The prisoner had hoped to the last that
the efforts put forth by his counsel would
at least result in a communication of the
terrible death sentence, so that he might
atone for his crime by spending the re
mainder of his life in prison Young was
not appraised of the fact that his case had
been reopened by the Board of Pardons,
which body, on Wednesday, by vote of

ton sealed his fate

viction the prisoner manifested an inter.

pared to meet his Maker on December g.

for this crime The stay of execution fol-

Not once has Young caused any trouble

extreme caution shown by Sheriff Fenton
and the death watch to prevent any pos

Those vested with the proper authority
began to assemble at the Jail shortly af-
ter o'clock, and the time was passed in
the Sheriff's coy parlor and adjoining
rooms In the meantime the final prepa

The extreme penalty of the law was in
fiicted upon John Young at the Burling-
ton County prison this morning. The I'M
fortunate man was the second to give up
his life for completely in the murder of
aged Washington Hunter on January 25,
1901. Charles Brown forfeited his life
upon the gallows on December 8, 1901, for
the same crime Thus two of the quar-
tette that were involved in the murder
have paid the penalty for their unlawful
act.
Young walked to the scaffold without
any apparent nervousness He had a look
of resignation on his face, which was very
pale
Accompanied by his spiritual adviser,
Rev James Stoddard, and two constables,
Young marched from his cell to the scat
fold, where Sheriff Fenton was waiting to
complete his unpleasant task.
Rev Mr. Stoddard stood beside the
prisoner upon the scaffold, holding
