G. H. Nagel, who resides in the
southeast corner of the county, is
suffering from an attack of small
pox and is under strict quarantine
at his home. The disease is of a
mild form and it is not believed
that it will become epidemic, al
though many persons have been
exposed to the contagion since
the first symptoms manifested
themselves. 1t would be advisa-
bic, however, for all persons who
have not been vaccinated recently
to take this preventative measure
at once.

These things are usually unconsid-

The Sentinel will second every move
to secure more equitable freight tariff
but it does not propose to be driven
into position, which its better judg-
ment repudiates as unwise.
1t is hardly possible that merchants
and the public generally desire a wage
scale based on what is paid ON the At

an engineer is an autocrat with 500
salary and where brakeman would
faint at salary beyond half this
amount.
