Measles Are EpidemicMany New Cases Reported.

The measles have spread to all parts of Rensselaer and many new cases have been reported the past few days. The city board of health has had red cards printed with the word “Measles” thereon and these will be posted at all houses where the disease has a victim. Several cases have broken out in the schools and probably about every child in the grades has been exposed. One physician reports nine new cases in two days.
