Pana, Tl.-This discovery was made
here recently of ten cases of measles
in n family and the board of health
Immediately ordered a strict quaran-
tine upon the home. The cases are in
the family Of Edward Bland on Wyan-
dotte street and include every member
but Bland.
Those i'll and bedfast are Mrs. Ella
Bland, the wife and mother, and these
children: Mrs. Mary F. Harlow, thir-
ty-six years of age; William D. Bland,
twenty-one years Of age; Levi Bland.
eighteen years old Mamie Bland, if
teen years old; Gertie Bland, twelve
years old; Susanna Bland, ten years
old; Irene Bland, seven years old Cal
art Bland, aged four, and Fannie
Bland, aged three.
President William Fisher of the
health board beat a hasty retreat from
the Bland home when he went there 70
investigate, believing that he had
found his way into a veritable nest of
smallpox. Later physicians diagnosed
the disease as measles. None of the
cases are considered serious at this
time.

GIRL DIES AS PREDICTED
Fortune Teller Told Pennsylvania Cir

Water.

Ph~oenixville, Pa.-The body of Doro-
thy Barr, the seventeen-year-old girl
of this place, who drowned in the
|Schuylkill river, was found about one
mile from the spot where she lost her
life when her canoe upset. Lock Ten
der Hennessy, at the Pawling locks,
saw the body floating in the river and
recovered it from a boat.
The drowning of Miss Barr and the
finding of her body followed the pre-
diction made a week before the girls
death by a fortune teller whom she
and a girl friend consulted in a spirit
of fun. The seer then. told Miss Barr
to avoid all trips or voyages upon the
water, and said she would take such
a trip and would drown. The fortune
teller also predicted that after four
days her body would be recovered
The girl laughed at the ~clairvoyant,
but the prophesy was wildly recalled
to the mind of her companion when
the body was recovered.

a month and rations; blacksmith or
