TURNER as principal of the Chanute schools. -------------------------- Small Pox. There now remains no doubt that small pox is epidemic in the United States, at the present time, and that the greatest precautions should be taken against it. Dr. J.B. TAYLOR, chief of the vaccination bureau of New York, who has made a special study of this disease says: “Small-pox is not like some other epidemic diseases, engendered by foul air, filth and habits of personal un-cleanliness, but the people who live amid such surroundings are its readiest prey among them. They neglect vaccination, conceal cases until they have spread infection all about, and recklessly employ articles of bedding and raiment. The great protection of the community is in general vaccination. Unfortunately there are many ignorant people who have a prejudice against it, but the best judgment of the most intelligent physicians of the world, from the experience of nearly a hundred years, is unanimous in its favor, and we have consistent proof now of its good effect. You will do great good to the public by urging this necessity upon them, and you cannot urge it too strongly. Without vaccination nobody is safe at any time, anywhere. The germs of small-pox have been known to continue the power of infection for thirty years where they were not exposed to an! y extremes of temperature. To insure absolute protection there should be vaccination first in infancy, next at six or eight years, then again from fourteen to sixteen. It is a baleful error to imagine because a vaccination ‘does not take’ that therefore the person is invulnerable to small-pox. A vaccination, if unsuccessful, should be repeated a second and a third time before it is deemed certain that it doesn’t take.” --------------------------- Marriage Licenses.

RANDALL -------------------------- BOWMAN, FREWER & BATES, the men who plead guilty and were fined in the District Court for selling whisky in Chanute, were brought in by Sheriff BERRY last night and place din jail. They could not, or would not, raise the money to pay said fines, hence were placed in jail until fine is paid. We suppose they think that the County Commissioners will release them in a few days. We are of the opinion that the Commissioners will do nothing of the kind, but let them stay in jail until the fines are paid. -------------------------- A very pleasant social ball was given at STEADMAN’s Hall, in Osage Mission, last Friday night, in honor of Mr. Ed.
