The chief sur- geon of the company, Dr. Sam'l Ayers was sent to Redlands on the first intimation that the disease had made i.s appearance; the entire camp was disinfected, and the clothing and bedding of suspected cases burned.

Except the name and high purpose of the paper, the little leaflet first published in the Easter season nearly seventy years ago has little in common with the splendid product of literary, artistic and mechanical skill of to-day. To trace the successive steps by which The Companion has reached its present high standard would be an interesting study of the evolution of a great modern periodical. We com- mend this Easter Number as an ex- ample of what may be accomplished when facilities are well-nigh perfect, and there is a determination not to be excelled. Elopers Hotly Pursued.

But in one form or the other itis said to be certain that the announcement is soop to be made.

The injunction is asked on the ground that Mayor Wal- bridge has, during the past year, re- peatedly absented himself from the city, and has drawn salary amount- ing to $1,100 for the time so wasted. The month of March is specified in the injunction, because during that month the mayor has been busy at tending political gatheriegs in vari ous sections of the state, but has demanded his salary, as usual. But he is a whistler from Whistler- ville, and has made the tune of “Sil- ver Threads Among the Gold” popu- lar among the employes of the White House by his frequent renditions of it. “Another tune that has caught his fancy is Sousa’s ‘King Cotton, al- though he frequently as he does the other.

An examination of the salary ac- eount at the city hall shows that Mayor Davis has up to date drawn all of his salary for the present year except $110. This amount was paid to President Tiernan for services as acting mayor while Mayor Davis was out of town. Mr. Tiernan drew $20 for nine days service as mayor last May while the mayor was on an Eastern jaunt. At another time the president of the upper house drew $20 fora similar service. Scarcely ia week has passed during the year |that Mayor Davis has not absented himself from his office from one to three days.
