Why is this? know that fire may come at any time and leave them homeless, Why, therefore, do they not realize that amall-pox may come at any mo- ment and take away from them those nearest and dearest to their hearts, robbing them of all that is In life to make them happy?

Horses, CUnttle and Hogs, Implements, Grain and Stover Go Up in Smoke Heavy Loss to Tenant, Joseph Meyer Fire Likely of Incendiary Origin, What is familiarly known as the Ishler barn, immediately west of Boalsburg, with sll its contents, was totally destroyed by fire Thursday aft- ernoon of last week, at 2:80 o'clock The fire is generally supposed to have been of incendiary origin, The tenant, Joseph Meyer, a young man, was ab- sent from home when the fire occur- red. Mrs. Meyer and several small children, who were unable to leave the house, were at home on the afternoon of the fire. Mrs. Meyer had been at the barn at noon, and several men passed by along the road, but no one discovered any one or any thing un- usual about the premises. (irave suspicion rests on an indi- Meyer an anonymous letter a few days prior, but up to this writing no arrest bas been made, The barn, which was the property of the Peter Hoy estate, was in fairly good condition and was insured in the Centre Hall fire insurance company for $900, and the grain for $160. The personal property burned was that of Joseph Meyer, and was insured surance Company, P. of H., in the sum of $775. Becretary James A. Keller adjusted the loss Saturday. Mr. will nearly Meyer's insurance not cover the loss, for Mr. Meyer were four work horses, two colts, six head of young cattle, BY : <A AN A COWS hie Hames, Lhe SIX EHCH d being in the barn yard when fire occurred, Bn pty Engraved Onrds, Orders for engraved cards, inviis- tions, ete, taken al this office.

During the last half of year 1884 the record of deaths from small-pox in the United States of America was 806, of which number 404 were charged to our own state You ask if time cannot be given be- fore legal action ls taken to punish those who defy the beneficent law to guard the health of our people in this commonwealth. The resistance to vac- cination alone demonstrates the im- portance of having a law to require the vaccination of those who desire to take advantage of the schools support- ed by the commonwealth It is evident that if we had no such A law our innocent people would con- stantly be thrown In contact with a disease which {8 sickening to even the medical man, let alone those who are not constantly thrown in contact with diseased persons Effects of Epidemics. The law has been on the statute books for ten years, during which time it has not been enforced. with a result of two or three severe epidemics, which cost the state and different municipal. ties thousands and thousands of dol- lars and many precious lives, indepen- dent of paralyzing industries in certain centres, Now notwithstanding that the new department has been in active exist- ence gince June 6 there has not been a law suit brought by it to punish any- one, The person made responsible for the executive work has trusted to the intelligence of our people and tried to educate them and disabuse their minds of the fallacies that they have been tanght by the charlatan From the fact that the department has given out on request over 450,000 blank certificates and that it takes about 2000 a day to supply the present demand, it is evident that vaccination is going on most satisfactorily in the greater part of our community. There- fore, 1 still have hope that those in your community will come to their senses and take advantage of the great protective — vaccination ~~ without the department being forced to punish any- one for violating the law which was created for the public good. The law reads that no child shall be admitted to school without producing a certificate of successful vaccination, or of having had small-pox. Therefore, it Is not in the power of any one in this form of government to set aside the law of the commonwealth, No one will ever succeed in doing away with a vaccination law in this state, leaving us a prey to one of the most horrible diseases that ean invade our commonwealth. While other states and the federal government are pass. ing laws to protect the health of their peop we certainly will not take a step isward toward the dark ages.
