A report was made by the secretary
of the work which has lately been done
for the control of smallpox and the
present status Of the smallpox epidemic
in the northern part of the State. The
outbreak in the Jackman region has for
some time been cleaned up and no new
cases have appeared. In the Seven Is
lands region and the upper waters of
the st. John, the work was finished
about the middle of February, the
camps We're disinfected as thoroughly
as was practicable and the medical in
spector and his assistant left The out
break at Van Buren, was wound up
some time ago; but the importation of
new cases from st. Leonards on the
other side of the line gave rise to a new
outbreak of which but few cases now
remain. In Presque Isle, the last case
of smallpox has been discharged from
quarantine and the last house dsin-
fected, and an efficient disinfection of
the houses in the towns west of Presque
Isle has been done. The State Board
had q large job in quarantining, Vacci-
mating and disinfecting in large num-
Der of camps in the Fish River region.
The work there was completed some
time ago. The outbreak at Fort Kent,
it is hoped is at an end unless the in
lection is again imported. Scattered
cases of smallpox are present in con-
siderable number of the Madawaska
towns and the principal work of the
inspectors of the State Board of Health
is now being carried on in that region
"a work which in the winter, particu-
larly in the back settlements, was rem
dered very difficult by the extraordi-
nary depth of the snow. and is still
carried on with difficulty on account of
the almost impossible condition of the

Z. B. Uline was reelected superinten-
dent of the Mankato public schools at a
meeting of the board of education held
last night. His salary remains at the
same figure as that received by him dur
ing the past year, 81 $50.
Mr.. Fletcher made motion that the
superintendent take charge of three
classes in the high school during the
forenoon sessions. The idea of MIR.
Fletcher was to dispose of one of the
high school teachers, and that the course
of. study be so arranged as to permit
of this. His motion covered all this.
Mrs. Smith was not agreeable to the
suggestion that the superintendent re-
main in the high school during the fore
noon, as that is the period during which
the work in the ward schools can be in
spected to better advantage. Mrs.
Smith did not take kindly to the propo-
sition to release one of the high school
teachers. She stated that Supt. Uline
was willing to teach classes in the high
school.
Mr.. Comstock thought there was merit
in Mr.. Fletcher's motion. He believed
the superintendent should teach classes
and keep in touch with the high school,
not so much for the purpose of looping
off a teacher, but because he believed
it would be better for the school.
Mr.. Fletcher's motion was lost on a
tie vote, Messrs. Fletcher. Keysor and
Hughes voting aye. Mr.. Comstock did
not vote.
Mr.. Comstoek then moved that the
superintendent be required to teach in
the high school as hereafter provided by
the board.
This motion carried.
Supt. Uline did not make any detailed
report on the teachers, but. said they
have all performed good work. None of
them were inefficient.
1t was suggested that the board pro-
coed to the election of teachers in the
high school.
Mr. Fletcher stated that the election
should be commeaced with the grade

The matter of electing the high school
faculty was brought up and considerable
discussion followed as to cutting off one
of the teachers.
In reply to- a question from Mr..
Fletcher Supt. Uline stated that he could
present course of study for the high
school that would necessitate the en-
ployment of but five teachers, but it
would result in cutting loose from the
university.
swell cut away from the university"
spoke up Mr.. Fletcher with consider
able emphasis.
Supt. Uline was of the opinion that if
the high school cut loose from the uni
versity the state aid would be cut off.
This has amounted to $1,000 per year.
The present legislature, however, has in
creased the amount to $1,000.
The present enrolment of the high
school is 240, and there are six teach
ers.
The board will hold an adjourned
meeting on Wednesday of next week at
which time the election of the high
school teachers will be taken Up.

AN ALFALFA CUTTER.
Eastern Capitalists Trying to Get
Location in Wichita.

An eastern capitalist is trying to make
arrangements to establish an alfalfa cut
ter plant in this city. There are but two
or three of these plants in the country
and good many tons of chopped alfal-
ia hay are used in the city every year
and this has to be shipped from New
York.
The plant chops the alfalfa hay into
pieces about half an inch long and This
is mixed with corn chop, bran and other
ground cereals and fed to horses, cattle
and chickens. 1t is far too expensive at
present in this city to feed in any large
quantities. The retail price at present
is five Gets per pound or one hundred
dollars per ton fer the hay. Large guam
titles are handled here and in the sur
rounding towns the cut alfalfa being
purchased by chicken raiseds.
Mr.. r. NJ. Piatt has had considerable
correspondence concerning the PROPOSE
ton and expects 10 land the concern to
be in operation here within the next few
months. The plant viii cost several
thousand dollars and employ some eight
or ten men using thirty tons Of the hay
a dav The establishment OF such a
concern in this city would make another
market for the great quantities Of al
falfa raised near this city.
In some Of the cattle feeding sections,
especially in the east. the farmers ave
cutting machines Of their own operated
by horse or steam power. The corn is
ground and mixed with the cut clover or
alfalfa. dry or wet, and fed TO the stock,
and it is said to be a most nutritious
food for stock.
There are but few of the large plants
in operation and the alfalfa or clover is
shipped long distances IN sacks and sold
by the pound. The parties with whom
Mr. Plate Is corresponding have been
here and have Idsked over the field and il
is expected that within a few days
deal will be closed which viii bring the
plant here.
