Small pox is reported at Beresford. Health Officers in Canton and other points in the Sioux Valley ought to be on the alert. The disease is spreading through the northwest, and every pre­caution possible snould be taken to prevent its getting into Canton. Crim­inal neglect and utter incompetency are responsible for the spread of the disease, and now that no town seems safe, civil authorities here and else­where should be on the alert as never before.

Monday morning at which time all the jurymen were on hand.
