Heavy Loss to Tenant, Joseph Meyer
Fire Likely of Incendiary Origin,
What is familiarly known as the
Ishler barn, immediately west of

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.

In the city of Valparalso, Chile, there

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,
