Health Notice

In view of the fact that there were two cases of cerebro-spinal meningitis across the railroad track, would advise all persons suffering with nasal catarrh or colds to use an anticeptic gargle and nasal douche. There have been no other cases and can see no reason for any alarm. All persons exposed have been quar. antined. The disease is, as far as medical science has been able to de- termine, contracted through inhala- tion and if the above precautions are followed 1 don't anticipate any further trouble.

 City Health Officer.

fall in line and be dictated to by the old members of the board, thus helping to continue the present de- plorable condition. Put in a man who will insist that the principal have a chance to be heard before rules and reprimands are issued to him. Don't put in a man just be- cause he is mill man or a railroad man, or some other kind of man. Don't vote for him just because he is your friend or good fellow. Vote for him because he will stand for a just and square deal, even if he be your personal enemy.

public school:
 Before you cast your vote for school trustee this year, please con slider the following facts:
 I have known the school here now for seven years, four of which I have served as your principal. During these seven years there has been much trouble in the school and I know exactly what has caused it. Here is the real cause: The principal has always had one or more bosses among the teachers, and these bosses have been upheld by the school board against the principals.
 This year matters have reached a climax. Even from the first week of school I have had a dictator, a spy, a critic in my teaching force. When 1 have refused to run things according to my dictator's wishes, l have received orders signed up by the school board compelling me to do so. The following is a specific example of this:
 On December 18th, at teachers meeting at school, I discussed with the teachers some rules which I thought would be best for the gov ernment of the children during re- cesses. My critic objected to the rules and tried to get me to adopt others, which I would not do. The next day, on December 14th, I re- ceived a set of rules, signed by the school board, similar to the ones dictated by the dictator. And along with these rules was a letter repri- manding me and giving me timely warning concerning the enforcement of the rules. These were sent through the mails, thus giving me no chance to discuss the matter with even one member of the school board. The only thing for me to do, it seemed, was either to quit or try to enforce the rules to some ex- tent at least. As I am not quit ter, I wrote to each member of the school board telling him that I would not attempt to enforce all their rules, but would enforce them in part. To enforce the whole roll would take teacher from the back woods of Arkansas. In my answer I asked to be heard at meeting of the school board, which I did not get.
 Since this event feel that have been living on borrowed time so far as my position here is concerned, and 1 still feel that way. Under such conditions, ladies and gentle men, it has been impossible for me to do my best work, yet I am glad to say that I have taught you a fairly good school. The patrons and the children of the school here are not hard to manage, but a spy, boss, critic teacher, upheld by the school board is an extremely hard position for any principal. He can never do his best work while he is being watched, criticised, bossed and reported to the school board by teacher working under him.
 Now, patrons of the Williams school, are you going to allow these conditions to continue? If not, put in a man for trustee this year who will stop this kind of management Put in a man who will allow the principal to dictate to the teachers and not the teachers to the pTinci- pal. Put in a man who will not

AN ENGINEER
IS KILLED IN
SERIOUS CRASH
From Saturdays Daily.)

Last night about five O'Clock 2
freight train 628 and switch engine
IN the yards at GaIena coIlided ia a
head on collision resulting in the death
OF Edward Thesis, engineer of the
freight train.
The fireman saved his life by jump
ing but the engineer was caught be-
tween the cab and tank as he started
10 jump. 1t is thought that if he had
remained in the cab he would not have
been killed.
This is the first bad wreck the COM
panY has had for nearly year. Mr..
Thesis, who has resided in Madison
nearly all of his life, has been An en-
ploye of the Northwestern road for
many years and has been in the rail
road service since he was seventeen
years old.
At the Thesis home last night it
was stated that Mrs. Thesis would not
be told of her husbands death until
she rallies somewhat from ner present
illness. It is feared that the shock
would be too much for her TO bear.
Besides his widow, who was Miss
Margaret Callahan, he leaves one sis
ter, Mrs. John Straton, of Madison.
The remains were brought to Madison
this morning.
A striking coincidence is brought to
light with Mr.. Tneiss' death Nine
years ago, almost to the week, his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William Thesis,
were asphyxiated in their residence on
Williamson street. Their deaths &C.
Cured in holy week and the present
accident shortly before, the same
