Citjr Phynk-lon Ptlklnften reported
lost evening that IS new caiet of mea
lc had developed during the day. tie
state that there are possibly 100 case.
In the city at the present time, and
that the situation Is anything but re
assuring. Of the cases which he dis
covered yesterday nearly all are In the
centra portion of the city, and as to
the n timber of cases which may have
developed during the day and not have
been reported to him he is seriously
In doubt.
It appear that the people of the city
are displaying anumial carelessness In
the matter of reporting cojitaglou dls
e;ise. with the result that the health
authorities And It difficult to prevent
spread of the disease which now Is
prevvalent. It I a somewhat remark
able circumstance that many persons
welcome the disease to thrlr homes,
because of their conviction that their
children must certainly be taken down
some time and that It Is better to have
the trouble over with. Those persons
seem t entertain absolutely no con
sideration for their neighbors, and fre
quently the quarantine regulations are
disregarded.
If people would report all cases of
contagious disease, I would be satis
fld," said Dr. Pllklngton last even
ing. "The state law Is complete enough
but the people will not obey It terms.
Evidently it will become necessary, for
us to make an example before can
bring about proper observance of the
law. and It is the Intention hereafter
to cause the arrest of all persons vio
lating the state law regulating con-
,tagloun disease.
"The state law Includes measles In
the lint of contagious diseases, and .the
regulations must be observed In canos
of menses as well as In scarlet fever
or diphtheria cases. Xt provides a
heavy fine, or Imprisonment, for failure
lo report all cases of contagious dis
ease, but despite its vigorous terms
few ca?s were reported, The law pro
vides further for the mnnner In which
quarantine shall be placed on houses
j In which Infectious disease exists, and
It Is specifically stated that children
living in such bouses can not go to
school during the existence of the dis
ease, and. Indeed, not until they have
secured a health certificate from the
attending physician after the quaran
tine Is raised. I am told there Is an
old school law which conflicts with the
state law, but of course the state law
replaces any of the school laws in this
respect.
"There Is no possible chance of stop
ping the epidemic-unless all cases are
promptly reported, and I look for an
Increase In the number of cases If the
law is disregarded as it has been In the
past. The authorities will maintain
close watch hereafter and arrests will
certainly follow violations of the law.
As to quarantines, the matter Is not
an optionalOne with the local author
ities. The law says they shall quar
antine all cases of Infectious disease,
and the ..terms of the law must be
obeyed.!' "' ;
. Dr. Pllklngton emphasized that chil
dren must not leave quarantined homes
'during the prevalence of disease, and
that, In all cases where children live in
homes quarantined, health certificates
must be secured, whether or not the
children are 111, before they may re
turn to school.
N.vw Firm Nsmo-K. A. Johnson

specifying that all hi debts be paid
with convenient haste, the deceased

Pembrokeshire, South Wales, and. In

lineal connections of the two person
are elaborately set forth by the aged
bard. The will la dated September
11, 1891, and attached to It in a cod
