PRICE THREE CENTS

the Lucy Webb Training School for Dea-
conesses at Washington, ID. c., were
married Tuesday morning by Rev. Joseph
Hamilton at the home of the officiating
clergyman on South Pleasant street. They
were the guests of the groom's brother,
Henry Noble, near SnowsviIle Tuesday
and Wednesday and are to visit another
brother, c. E. Noble, in Liilieville before
going to their home in Windsor, where
the groom is employed as pattern-maker

c. J. stockwell has decided to open a
department store in this village about the
first of August in that part Of the Stock
well block now occupied by the hardware
business of J. J. Trerise & Co. The new
store will have three departments, one of
which will be devoted to FIVE and ten
cent goods, but the other lines to be car
ried have not at present been fully deter
mined. J. j. Trerise 4 Co. are looking
for another good stand, but vacant stores
are as scarce as vacant tenements in this
village, which appears to need q little
building activity to accommodate the
people who want to live and DO business
here.
Randolph High struck the toboggan
last week, after starting the season nice
ly, being defeated by Hartford High at
White River junction Saturday, 9 to /,
and by Mortified High at Mortified
Monday, IL to 10. The slump is attrib-
utable in part to Pitcher Wallis poor
condition. He is suffering from strained
ligaments of the back and unable to do
his usual work. Hartford made nine hits
off him. Connolly took his place at
Nortbfield, where he struck out 10.
Rowell has been out OF the game because
OF mumps. The team fielded very poorly
in both games, making errors at White
River, and 10 at Northfeld. Connolly
and Durkee both made home runs at
Northfield, and the entire team batted
well there. Northfield plays here Friday
and Hartford here Saturday.

The local health officer, DIR. A. L.
Bailey, has decided, in view of the fact
that there are less than three weeks be-
fore the end OF the spring term, not to
close the graded school on account Of the
epidemic OF mumps and to allow those
pupils Who are exposed to continue to at
tend school as long as they have the face
to or, rather. haven't too much face to.
The patients themselves are kept in quar-
antine after the disease develops, but
other members OF household are left at
liberty since mumps are neither danger
Gus nor scaly, and contagion can not be
carried in clothing. The state board OF
health permits DIR. Bailey to carry out
this plan of handling the epidemic under
the circumstances, but it is the firm de-
termination of the state board to call 9
decided halt to the growing inclination
of people not to report to the local health
officer when they know they have q con-
tagious disease or have been exposed to
one. An article to that effect will be
published in the next bulletin issued by
failure to report will be prosecuted as
the law directs.
