Dante Gabriel Rossetti, the poet. con-
tanning also many of the original LETT
ters and others that were received by
the poet during his lifetime. There
Is in the Aldrich collection one of the
finest collections of Rossetti letters
and autographs In the world. The
foundation for this was laid a number
OF years ago, when Mr.. Aldrich secur-
ed nifty letters from William Rossetti,
and these have been added to since.
Mr.. Aldrich had three volumes relat-
ing to the letters and family OF Ros-
setti, bound especially for the collec-

placed therein. These have annota-
tons, which will make the volume OF
additional value. "
Secretary Simpson, Of the state agriS
cultural deparement, was happy today
over receipt of number OF entries
| OF horses In the horse department for

nine OF the largest horse-breeding
hrms In thhe country, assuring one OF

| The state board of health today took
the most important action of It's pres
ent session by modifying the rule in
regard to vaccination so as to con-
form to the court decisions In Lucas
county by Judge Vermilllon. The
rule Ia changed so that there will be-
no compulsory vaccination OF school
pupils except at time when there il
an epidemic of smallpox. \
Judge Vermllion held In case In
which suit was brought against q
school board to compel the board to
admit pupils to school without vac
cination, that the general rule OF
health boards In the state requiring
vaccination before a child may be adj
mitted to school, was too broad, and
that the health boards have author
ity to require vaccination only in case
there Is actual epidemic of smallpox
or other extraordinary conditions CALI
ing for the vaccination.
This will virtually put a stop to ALI
compulsory vaccination In Iowa, as
there Is no smallpox In the state now.
