The physicians claim that strict measures, however, will confine the disease to the house where it had its origin. George Spiller died suddenly" at his home in Magee Tuesday night.

HE JUST SAILED IN And After Demoralizing the Leaders Sent Them Off to Jail, Offerinz the Others a Chance to Follow Wayne. A strike among the Pollocks who are employed by the Wayne County Sugar Beet Company to work farm lands in the vicinity of Fox Ridge, Cayuga county, was recently quelled in a unique but effective manner by Theodore Hapke, president of the company.

About 100 of the foreign-born laborers are employed on the company's lands around Fox Ridge. Farm labor is scarce in that vicinity, and when the beets were ready for the first weeding, knowing that their services were imperatively demanded, the leaders persuaded the whole gang to go on a strike. The overseer was in a quandary for he had had no experience in dealing with such matters. President Hapke was accordingly summoned immediately, and his course of action quickly brought the strike to a conclusion. He first commanded the men to return to work.

Receiving only ugly niutterings in response, he did not wait longer, but, with the assistance of the overseer, waded into the ring-leaders of the strike and in a few moments had them subdued to his and their complete satisfaction. When the fracas was. over, sprawling about the ground were the worst bruised, hardest mauled and the most completely subdued gang of immigrant laborers ever seen in this vicinity. A dozen of those who had been most active in the strike were securely handcuffed and turned over the following day to the sheriff of Cayuga county. As they were being marched away Mr.

Hapke made a speech to those that remained, informing them, in brief but emphatic terms, that if they didn't choose to work they could take the alternative of joining the weary and battered troop en route for Auburn jail. Not a man stirred, and now everybody is congratulating President Hapke over the peculiar moral ascendancy he has secured over his employees. Since then the Pollocks have been working hard and contentedly. The town Sunday-school Association of Walworth, will hold a meeting at the Methodist Episcopal Church, Lincoln, June 29th. The business meeting will continue all through the day, and an interesting programme is being arranged for an evening session.

Just before noon Wednesday Hannah, wife of Supervisor S. B. Dean, passed away at Marion. Deceased was born in Marion in ISoS and was married September 21, 1S38. There survive her husband and one son, Charles, of Buffalo.
