the vaccination. The task of COM
pleting, the vaccinations terminated
last evening after school. The young

the disease while spending his vaca-
ton at New London, is doing nicely.
The buildings have been thoroughly
disinfected. even to the letters which
have been sent away by the students.
The health authorities are Of the
opinion that there is no Danger of the
disease spreading If Watertown
can curb the disease IN this one case,
ut will be extremely fortunate, fol
neighboring cities are having small

been left undone to make the obser-
vance Of the anniversary one Of real
and substantial pleasure.

No More Small POX,

There has been a rumor about the
city that two new cases of small pox
have developed at the Northwestern
university. The faculty and students
deny the report most emphaticaIly
and say there is not the slightest
ground for such report. The patient
has about recovered and everything
is moving along at the school in the
even tenor of its way, save for the
fact that the quarantine has not been
removed and will not till Saturday
when the ten day period will have
elapsed. The students have refrained
from coming down town to avoid any
undue excitement On the part of our
citizens.
