CASE OF SMALLPOX.
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.
