ONLY BARRIER
TO SMALLPOX

When asked what he thought of the
agitation to have the Legislature repeal
the vaccination law, State Health Com
missioner Samuel G.. Dixon said that
the records of the past two weeks in
his department should convince the
people of the State that the only thing
they had to do to have smallpox run
riot through Pennsylvania was to take
down the barriers that are being
thrown up against 1t by vaccination.
GA few days ago." said Health
Commissioner Dixon, 1--WE received
word that child that had never been
vaccinated had been brought from
Watkins. New York, to Wells, Brad
ford county, Pa. and had attended
school in Wells township for three
days, having smallpox at the time.
The disease spread rapidly and
there were striking examples of the
penalty for the unvaccinated. In one
household. all the members of the fam
lily except young lady who had been
vaccinated were stricken down with
smallpox.
Il can tell you what" continued
DR.. Dixon, "there wasn't much trou-
BILE when that outbreak started to get
the unvaccinated in that community
to submit to vaccination.
Another unvaccinated child was
recently brought into a small village
in Cumberland county from Ohio, and
three other cases resulted.
Again, only the other day we re-
ceived message stating that a resi-
dent Of Columbia, Pa. had gone to pay
a visit to a neighboring State, and up
on his return home went down with
smallpox.
"When we have endeavored to have
the vaccination law enforced i'll the
rural co nmunities we have frequently
been met by the statement that there
had not been a case of smallpox in the
community for years, and therefore the
people saw no necessity of being vac
cinated.
But to quote the strong argument
of Chief Justice Mitchell of the su
preme court of Pennsylvania: immun-
ity for forty years in the past affords
no guaranty of immunity for even
forty days in the future if a chance
visitor from an infected locality or a
borough resident returning from Wis
it to such locality should bring with
him the germs of infection.
Germany and Japan are making
smallpox in the empires almost thing
of the past by vaccination laws more
rigid and far-reaching than the one
we have in Pennsylvania. can only
express the hope that the legislature
will take step forward toward max
ing our Law more effective barrier to
smallpox rather than to move back
ward toward such a prevalence of
smallpox as existed in Germany and
Japan before those countries began to
fight this horrible disease by COM
pulsory vaccination.

Caps AND BELTS

Company f, 18th regiment, n. G..

of drills between the present and
March 18th when the spring inspection
is to be held, if they wish to keep up
the rating of the company and there

State armory for DanviIle.
According to general order No. "a,
A. G. O, the companies will be par
AIDED in State (blue) uniform, light
marching order, without leggins. The
officers will appear in regulation dress
uuiform. The State property of every
description will be conveniently ar
ranged for inspection by the inspec
tion officer.
The inspection as to knowledge of
duties for companies of infantry will
include school of the soldier, school of
the squad, school of the company, and
guard duty Ratings will also be made
upon discipline, arms, equipment,
clothing. books and papers
That the National guard of Pennsyl-

coming inspection These caps and
belts take the place of the present
dress caps and blue web belt now in
use. The old or present style of cap
and belt must be returned to the State
arsenal within ten days after the
receipt of new caps. The new russell
leather belt will have the McKeever
cartridge box.
Those interested in the work of Sc
curing a site to be presented by the
town to the State for an armory here
are looking forward to the next inspec-
tion with good deal of interest, as
much depends upon the showing made
by Company f as to whether or not
the commission will locate an armOrY

A Joke on Robbers.

The six brutal robbers who tortured
Mr.. and Mrs. Stephen Chester with
red hot irons at their home III Byrnes-
vile. Conyngham township, Columbia
county, in an endeavor to make them
reveal and give up their money, have
not yet been apprehended, but there is
still hope they may be brought to JUS
tice. Chester says he distinctly recog-
nized three of the men as persons he
had frequently seen on the streets of
Centralia, though he does not know
their names
Although horribly scared from the
hot irons with which the robbers tor
tured them after binding them help
less, the Chesters feel much elated ov-
er the fact that their assailants obtain
ed only ten cents as their reward for
their trouble. Only that same day Mr..
Chester had sent considerable sum
of money to the old country, and it
was doubtless this that the robbers
wanted. but they came too late and
only ten cents remained in the house.
When Chester went to the office of DR..
Gwinner, of Centralia, after the out
rage, and while his limbs panied fright
fully from the terrible burns. he was
obliged to laugh uproarously every
time he thought of the robbers getting
only ten cents, and he considered it
the greatest kind of joke on the rob
bers. This undoubtedly mitigated his
sufferings considerably.
When he came TO the physician's s
office, his clothing, which had been slit
open with the hot irons. was fastened
about his limbs with safety pins.
Down each limb was the scar from the
heated iron, which had slit his cloth
ing open to the flesh as clean as a
razor.
Deputy Sheriff Langdon is maxim IA
diligent search for information that
will lead to the arrest of the guilty :;
and it is possible that detective will
be engaged to take up the matter and
endeavor to locate the guilty parties.

PETER Dietrich
OUT ON BAIL

Peter Dietrich was admitted to bail
on Saturday afternoon and now is en-
joying a period of highly priced free
dom
The supreme court on last Monday

cognizance to be fixed and taken by
the court below. In pursuance of the
above Judge Evans Saturday fixed the
bail at ten thousand dollars. Bonds

the persons of John II. Geoser, w. g.

George \. Meyers and Paul p. Sven
tex. The gentlemen signed the bail
bond, after which Peter Dietrich, who
had previously been brought down
from Jail, was called before the court
aud formally discharged from prison.
Mr.. Dietrich had been in Jail since
February 18th last, period of over
eleven months. AS he stepped forth
into the pure air of freedom there
were many to greet him and take him
by the hand-tried and true friends
who have stood by him in all his Bit
ter experiences. Saturday evening Mr..
Dietrich circulated in the crowd on
Mill street and seemed to enjoy the
novelty of being out of doors very
much.
After Mr.. Dietrich had received his
sentence at the October term of court,
an effort was made by his attorneys to
secure a new trial and to have him
admitted to bail. Judge Evans refused
the new trial and of course nothing
was done in the matter of bail, which
was to be considered only in connec-
tion with a new trial. Later, when an
appeal was taken to the supreme court,
Judge Evans was asked to make it a
stay of execution, which he did, leav-
ing the matter of bail, which was not
brought up in this connection, un-
touched. Later the higher court was
asked to admit the defendant to bail,
and the above action taken last Mon
day was the result
Dietrichs appeal will not be heard
by the supreme court before next
March.

A Memorial Day Measure.

AT the present session of the legisla-
ture, Hon. Thomas V. Cooper will in
troduce bill authorizing the county
commissioners of the several counties
of Pennsyl vania to appropriate aunu-
ally sum not exceeding one hundred
dollars to each G. A. R post in their
respective counties to aid in defraying
the expenses of Memorial day. The act
is not to apply TO cities of the first,
second or third class. This will be a
popular measure, as with the increas-
ing years and decreasing numbers,
the scattered membership in the coun-
try districts find it more ditiiculG to
raise sufficient funds to pay for the
necessary expenses of Memorial day
observances.
