Disease Appears Among Family of Children at Falls View. After having two cases of the mild form of smallpox in the city, and it hav ing been thought it was stamped out of this locality, a third case reappeared yesterday at Falls View. The family now afflicted with the disease is that of Mr. St. John, a recent arrival from Omaha, Neb. One of the small girls of the family was stricken Wednesday with the disease in a mild form, and immedi ate quarantine was placed upon the house. The girl who has developed symptoms of the disease lias been attending school, and owing to the fact that she was a new arr.val, the requirement now iu force that she must have been previous ly vaccinated before admission to the claspes in the public scaoolsof the city, was overlooked iu her case. It is not known where she contracted the disease, unless she was in some way subjected to contagion at sch ol. The case is a very mild one, and, as the other children in the family have now all been vaccinated, and a strict quarantine is maintained upon the family, there is no apprehension because of the disease spreading farther. This case stems to illustrate the wis dom of the requirement of the State Board of Health that all children at tending the schools of the state shall be vaccinated before being admitted tt classes, and it is likely that with the strick enforcement of that requirement, there will be no further danger of the dread disease in the schools. ARE YOU A MASON? To Be Presented at Shi vely's Opera House "The Columbia Theater attracted last night ah the people who like to laugh No one of merry mood could have been disappointed, for "Are You a Mason ?" is a thorough-going fare, with situations whose silliness is their reason for being. A very morose pei son may sit through such whirls of rtipunder-4aiidin g, wbere everybody isatcroBS purposes, and most of the characters allow themselves to be easily deceived and led into traps, with out a twitching of the muscles about the mouth, bu the average person will find the farce in ordinately amuoing. The men who are fond of nights about a town, games of poker and little suppers da ctive their trusting wives by pretending to have engagements at their Masonic lodge. But truth, the avenger, finds them out, and hence the complications." Shively'a Opera House , Jan. 16. Mrs. J. H. Turney is visiting friends in San Francisco. She will w inter in the south.
