TOO MUCH SMALLPOX
Parents Should Exercise
Greater Care In Regard
TO Children

Smallpox IS on the increase in this
city, although it is very mild form.
There are about 80 cases of this dis
ease at the present time and more are
being reported to the health officer
daily. In instances cases are not
reported, no doctor being called to
attend the patient, and the members
of the family go out and mix among
the rest of the population without
being vacinated. One case was
brought to the notice of the health
officer last Tuesday where two
children, although not vacinated, were
attending school, while the two.year-
old baby Of the same family was
afflicted with smallpox. The health
officer especially advises that the
children be vacclnated so that the
disease will be kept from spreading.
G. W. Mcintyre of st. Peter,
health officer of Nicolett county. has
made a special study of the disease,
and reports that 80 per cent of those
who contract smallpox have never
been vaccinated and the remainder
are mostly adults who were
vaccinated in childhood, and that
rarely can case be found where the
person has been successfully vacclnated
within % years.

BALL PARK FOR NEXT SEASON.

A meeting was held last night at
the city hall by the baseball enthusiasts
sof the city. The purpose of the -meet-
ing was to find ways and means to
secure finances enough to put up a
baseball fence and grandstand
It is thought that by giving a
number of dances and entertainments
and athletic events during the winter,
that goodly sum could be raised, and
committees are to be appointed with
this end in view. Outside these
entertainments there IS no doubt, but
what liberal donations will be made
by the business men in general,
If there is one sport that is clean
and one that is enjoyed by practically
all citizens, 1t is the national game.
A ball team is also an advertisement
to any town-it shows that the town
is alive and on the map. A little
push. all together will insure an
athletic park and ball team for next
season.

THEY TOOK THE SWEEP1NGS.

THEY TOOK THE ~ SWEEPlNGS.
Seven men were :, arrested and
brought up before Justice Gerritz's g
court Tuesday afternon for sweeping
q car, which was standing near the
depot, for waste grain. Previous to
this time the railroad company had
allowed people to take the sweepings
from grain and coal cars, but IN a
number of cases it was found that
parties would take good wheat from
cars, mix it with the sweeplngs, and
carry it off. It was to prevent this
that the railroad company had signs
put up in the local yards, as well as
at all the different stations along its
line, warning the people that the
taking OF sweeplngs from cars was
prohibited. and that anyone caught
doing so would be prosecuted. OF the
seven men brought up for trial on the
charge Of trespassing, two were let
off with a reprimand. and the other
five assessed the costs of the cases,
which In each amounted to less than
S5.
