Call on Simon Stoffel, THE State Board of Health has^made it obligatory upon all school children at­ tending the public schools, to be vacci­ nated, unless they have been vaccinated within five years. Heretofore the Board has recommended this action, but as their recommendations have not always been followed, the above rule has been made. The Attorney General has ren­ dered an opinion that the Board has authority to promulgate such a rule. The rule is a good one. THE following is a small boy's Friday afternoon composition at school. We may add that the said boy was soundly thrashed for it too: "A school ma'am is a vtrb because she denotes action when you throw paper wads at the girls. Switch is a conjunction and is used to connect the verb school ma'rm to the noun boy. This is a compound sentence of which the boy is the subject and switch the object. First person plural number, hellish case. She puts paint on her face and some big fellow takes her home. Ma says a school ma'am never gets no older than eighteen until shegets married. It takes two school ma'am's a day to get dinner.'* A STORY is going the rounds to the effect that a married lady of an adjoin­ ing county had a birthday anniversary a few days since, upon which her husband presented her with a pretty piano lamp. He:j was much flattered when she told him she intended to give it his name, until he asked her reasons for so peculiar a proceeding. "Well," said she, "you know, dear, it has a good deal of brass about it, it is handsome to look at, re­ quires a good deal of attention, is not remarkably brilliant, is sometimes un­ steady on its legs, liable to explode when only half full, flares up occasionally, it is always ont at bed time and is bound to smoke. WE were unable to attend the lecture at the City Hall on Thursday evening last, by Bev. Merrill, but the large aud­ ience who did attend are unanimous in their praise. The subject would have aroused interest at any time, on account of the manner in which it was treated, but the present difficulties in the Islands and the probability that the United Statee may assume control of them, made the lecture intensely interesting. The stereopticon views, forty of which were shown, added considerably to' the lecture although the Bev. Merrill's de­ scriptions were vivid. A residence of five years on the Islands has given him a knowledge of their physical features and the character of the inhabitants that permits him to speak authoritatively. We can therefore pronounce the first Lecture a grand success. The next one will be given some time in February, the the exact date of which will be announ­ ced in due time. If you have not secured your tlokst do so at onoe, monedajnry to inquire into th» cause of the death of Mrs. Smith, mother of John A. and Stephen P. Smith, who died some months since and was buried in the Catholic Cemetery at Yolo. The partks nfora Af fn ( ' i t e r , » £ j Mrs. Smith was an old lady about 92 years of age, and for some time had been living alternately with her son John A. Smith, and her daughter, Mrs. John Gloeson. At the time of her death she was staying with her daughter, and a few days or a week before her death she fell in her room, striking her forehead upon the bedpost making quite a bruise. At the time of her death neighboring women came in to dress and prepare her for the coffin, and remarked about this bruise upon her head From this the story spread and seemed to enlarge at every repetition, until it was rumored that the old lady had met with foul play. This coming to the ears of Mr. Glosson he at once demanded an investi­ gation. Consequently the body was exhumed and taken to the residence of John Glosson where the Jury was em­ paneled who after hearing the evidence of Drs. Fegers and Cook, returned a ver­ dict that Mrs. Smith died irom natural causes, and that there was not a shadow of cause for the idle rumors that had been set afloat. We make this statement hi justice to Mr. Glosson and family, who felt hurt nd grieved by the base insinuation thus t float. l A NEW GHUROH. V Our German friends in this village aop vicinity who are now obliged to go t^ Johnsburgh to attend church, have de4 cided to build a new church here* and held a meeting a few days since to talk the matter over and makci arrangements for the same. We learn that at this meeting it was decided by vote to locate said church on the east side of town, but just where is as yet not definitely settled. There are enough resi­ dents of this denomination in and around this village to make a good membership and support a church well, and we think their decision to build here is a move in THE Bingwood Cemetery j^id Society will meet with Mrs. Mary Dodge on Thursday evening, Feb. 1, 1894.

CHICAGO newsyapers have lately gone into merchandising in connection with their efforts to increase their circulation, to such an extent as to involve them in some difficulty with their large adver­ tisers who object to the low prices and good values offered. The most notable instance of this is the Inter Ocean, which was compelled to dispense with its very popular Book Department for no other reason. It -continues its World's Fair Portfolio Department, however, which is delivered about 11,000 per day at present and has just added a compre­ hensive series of "Views of the World," and a book of music called "Harmonized Melodies" on the same plan. They are sold at a certain price provided the pur­ chaser presents a certain «""iN>r of coupons cut from the paper. EVEBY PLAIN DEALER reader has heard of the story "Black Beauty," many have read the same. A sequel to this, "The Strike at Shane's," has been received from the American Humane Education Society, that bids fair to rival its mate in popularity. Millions of copies of the former have been sold and the latter is bound to be a close second if it does not lead its older brother in sales. The story is intended to point out some of the mis­ taken Ideas held in regard to the relar tion? between man and the beast. "Strikes" are popular among human beings and in the story just received the lower auuiiimlts employ that method in righting their wrongs. It is well worth reading and 10 cents sent to George T. Angel 1,19 Milk street, Boston, will secure a copy by return mail. EVEBY successful man is a help to his town. The more money he makes, if he uses it, the better for the community; the larger business he builds up the greater the advantages to the communi­ ty; a town cannot build up without them and a growing town is a benefit to the surrounding country, hence it is to the advantage of all to encourage enter­ prising, successful men in all walks of life, and frown on the petty envious indi­ viduals who are ever ready to thrust their more successful neighbors in the back on the slightest provocation in an attempt to injure them and destroy their usefulness. The country cannot get along without its successful men, but it- can surviltp the envious backbiters, a fact which every community should ap­ preciate whenever opportunity alters. The successful man is indispensibta. Air" n r • K t , .
