EXCITEMENT
NOT WARRANTED
SMALL NUMBER OF MILD CASES
OF piPHTHERIA AND sCARLE
FEVER IN FIRST WARD.

A great deal of-umwarranted excite
nent has been caused in the Ftrst
ward by a few cases of diphtheria and
scarlet fever. Principal Hustead has
made a very careful Investigation and
he has found but five families which
have had dfphtheria, and that in mild
form, and three families have had
scarlet fever. Every precaution has
been taken to prevent the spread OF
the diseases and the school children
are as safe If not safer in school than
on the streets. 1t is hoped that none
of the children who have not been ex-
posed to either dfphtheria or scarlet
fever will stay out OF school. Princl,
nal Hustead is anxious that school
shall go on as usual.

Mayor Jim is
for Water Bonds
Takes Hunoh to Go In for That Six
Million as Good Thing for
Campaign.

Mayor Jim is going to jump in for the
S6,500,0OO water works bonds.
At least that is he word that is pass
ing around among the water board pro-
moters of the proposition. Jim is said to
ave been persuaded TO believe that he
can have help financially and otherwise
toward floating his damaged political for
tunes by joining in with the r. Beecher
Howell crowd and hat by so doing he
can also get the water board Drganettes 10
deal more gently with him.
II is pretty generally understood that the
mayor could rave had a lift for his cam
paign fund from the water board boosters
during the primary fight IL he had needed
il. He was confident he could win, however,
and stood off the Intermediates who
approached him, Now that he is the
nominee. and handicapped by the lid closing
bill signed by the democratic governor, the
wise ones ION the street are freely can
vassing his attitude on the So. 500. 900 bonds
to buy the water works, II is the general
impression he will make the deal ana
declare for the bonds.
