IMPORTANT NOTICE
TO THE PUBLIC - CITIZENS
URGED TO CLEAN UP
PREMISES.

In view of the fact that a ease of
infantile paralysis in Madison has re-
suited fatally, it is incumbent upon
all citizens and property wne TO
take precautionary measures TO pre-
vent a recurrence or spread of the
disease. This can best be accom-
plished by placing the premises of
residences and all other places in the
best sanitary conditions possible.
therefore recommend and order that
all h~ouseholders of the city at once
remove from their premises rubbish,
Stops or any other ~unsanitary accu-
mutations. The need of cleaning up
is urgent, and it is necessary that
citizens cooperate in placing the city
in a proper sanitary condition.

evening will mark the close of Lake
county's most successful fair.
With a single exception. the paid

eleven years existence of the fair.

which the exhibition was formally
opened. The receipts for the two
days, exclusive of the grandstand,
amounted to $2,244, of which
$~1,552.50 vas paid in yesterday.
A majority of those who visited

by the race card, which gave promise
of two exciting races. Ten horses

tions. Owners of live stock and of
many other exhibits this afternoon
removed their entries from the
grounds.

tions, band concerts and carnival
shows tonight.

previous nights rain.
