INDIANAPOLIS, April 17,1S9C.—Health Circular No. l.—Concerning how certain foods shall be protected from dust pollution.—In many cities and towns it is the custom for grocers, butchers and other venders of food, to expose their wares in front of their shops and stores. Butchers very frequently make an unusual exposure of meats to the dust and filth of the street. Grocers expose on the sidewalks in front of their stores, dried fruits, smoked meats, etc.

VOL. 49—ISO. 17 ORAWFORDSYELLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1896.-TWELYE PAGES PART FIRST

The dust that floats in the air contains a great deal of filth. It carries pulverized manure, dried catarrhal and consumptive sputum, and much other offensive matter, besides microorganisms of all kinds. All this we must endure, to the evident disadvantage of our health, when vs walk abroad in cities where dust is not kept down. It is not well, however, that we should eat dried manure and dried spittle on our

and groeeries, even

WHAT TO DO.

County Health Officers are hereby directed to issue written orders to all butchers and venders of meat not to expose outside their shops carcasses or parts 5f carcasses, of any animal intended for food. Neither shall dressed meats be transported through the streets without being protected from dust.

Grocers must be ordered not to expose dressed poultry, nor uncovered smoked meats, nor uncovered dried fruits, as dried apples, dried peaches, currants, etc., nor indeed any foods which may become polluted and corrupted by dust from the air in the way above described.

THE LAW.

Section 3069 R. S. 1881, gives ample power to health officers .in this matter. J. N. HURTY,

State Health Officer. E W. Keegan, M. D.,

dltw5-8 County Health Officer. The Morton Club. The Morton Club met Monday night. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather a goodly number of the membership was present. Four new members were admitted. Short addresses were made by D. W. Gerard, S. S. Martin, Wickliffe Smith, W. M. Reeves, Mont Kennedy, A. E. Reynolds and C. N. Williams. The latter stated that he had received a letter from the McKinley Club of Gas City making the inquiry as to how he would cast his vote at St. Louis. "I replied," said he "that I would vote for Wm. McKinley." He then went on to say that he wrote along letter giving his reasons why he should vote for the Ohio candidate, all of which was summed up in the fact that he was the embodiment of protection. Mr. Williams' declarations that he intended to vote for McKinley was greeted with loud and contfhued applause which was unmistakable evidence that he voiced the sentiment of the Club.

Good Resolutions.

The Boone county Republican convention was held Tuesday and the following resolutions were passed among others: "We heartily endorse the candidacy of Hon. James A. Mount for the oflice of chief executive of our State as well as that of our present auditor of State, Hon. Americus C. Daily. "That this convention heartily endorse Gen. Lew Wallace and Hon. Richard W. Thompson as delegates-at-large from this State to the St. Louis convention and we earnestly recommend them to the delegates of the State convention as such representatives, and we further recommend that Boone county delegates to the State convention use their best endeavors to have them and their associates as dele gates-at-large instructed to vote for 'Prosperity's advance agent,' William McKinley for the Presidency as long as there is hope for his nomination."

Will Increase Their Capncity. ..

McDonald &. Steele have been so eminently successful in the floral enterprise that they are under the necessity of increasing their capacity. One or two more large conservatories will be put up by them this season and filled with plants. When they began business they expected to sell a large portion of their goods out of town but they on the contrary were obliged to import goods instead of export them. They are greatly gratified by their success.

A Federal Grand Juror.

M. V. B. Smith, of this city, has been summoned to appear at Indianapolis on May 12 to serve on the federal grand jury.

A CLOSE CALL.

J. W. Krause, the Florist. Hns an Unpleasant Experience With the Lightning.

On Monday when the heavy storm came up J. W. Krause, the florist, noticed that the water spout on his house was not performing its functions properly and he concluded to step out in the rain and look into the matter. He walked out and was just reaching up to take hold of the spout when it was struck by lightning. Mr. Krause was knocked off his legs and hurled violently to the ground several feet away. He was stunned 'for a short seaand upon regaining consciousness discovered that his hand and arm were badly burnt and bruised. Had he been two seconds quicker be would have had hold of the spout when it was struck and would most certainly have been killed. He is not feeling the best yet but is congratulating himself on his narrow escape from death.

Pine Indorsements.

LaPorte Daily Herald: Usually one does not seek information from his po lit.ical opponents in reference to the men and measures of his own party, but the following seems so fair, agreeing too with what we have heard from Republican sources, and each paper so closely corroborating the other, that we cannot forbear copying the same:

South Bend Times: If there is any probability of the next Governor of Indiana being a Republican, it would be fortunate if the choice of the Republican State convention were to fall upon James A. Mount. He is far better equipped for gubernatorial duty and responsibility than the great majority of those that are aspiring to that position on the Republican side of the house

A Buliovor in Progress.

Portland Commercial: The Montgomery county ceutral committee has brought out tiie name of James A.' Mount as a candidate for the nomination of governor on the Republican ticket. Mr. Mount is a man of sound and matured judgment, has had experience with public affairs, having served four years in the State Senate is a strong believer in progress and has a fine war record.. While not running as a farmers' candidate, he bus ail bis life followed the pursuits of agriculture, and held the plow with his own hands. A few years ago he was one of the lecturers at the Jay county Farmers' Institute and made many friends during his short stay.

ORDER OF NOMINATIONS.

At What Stage of the Proceeding* the Different Entries are Made.

Several inquiries have reached the Journal concerning the order in which the nominations for judicial and county officers would be made at the convention to be held on the 2d of May. That is a question for the committee on rules and order of business to determine, though the practice heretofore in vogue has been to adhere to the order in which the different offices appear on the tally-sheets and poll books. They appear in the following order:

Judge of the Circuit Court, Prosecuting Attorney, Representative, Clerk, Auditor (none to nominate), Treasurer, Recorder, •. r: Sheriff, Coroner, Surveyor, Assessor, Commissioner, 2d district, Commissioner, 3d district. Attempts have been made in former conventions to change the rule, but they generally proved unsuccessful. The committee on rules and order of business will probably adhere to the old and established custom.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

Central Station, Indianapolis, Ind.— Warm, favorable, sunny weather dur iug the week improved everything growing trees are all green, and all vegetation advanced rapidly, but there were only few light showers at the beginning of the week, and rain is needed much everywhere. Wheat, barley, rye and young clover have been much improved, except wheat and young clover on clay ground, which are rather short and thin on the ground. Grass, pasturage and meadows, although short in many localities! looks quite green and vigorous. Much gardening has been done. Oats sowing progresses well, and in the southern and central portions most is in and some coming up. Plowing for corn progresses rapidly, except in a few counties some corn has been planted in the southern portion, but farmers in general delay planting, fearing the cut-worm. Tobacco plants are coming on well in Switzerland county. Cherries, peaches and plums are all in bloom, but apples are backward in some localities and the bloom is not as thick as last year, but in general so far the fruit prospect is excellent at present.

A Visit to San Antonio.

ro tho lidltor of the Journal.

At the request of some of my Montgomery county friends I will write another short letter in regard to our trip farther South.

We left here Monday morning, April 13J,h, on an Epworth League excursion, arriving at the Alamo City Monday evening at 9:30, a (distance of 300 miles. The Epworth League State convention was^held at this place and the number of visitors was 'estimated at 10,000. Mr. Shau, our cousin, took great pleasure in showing us through the city. There are fifteen miles of river in the city limits. The twelve bridges that span the river, the old fashioned, mill wheels, the numerous cataracts, the shady banks' vine clad trees, semi-tropical plants, green lawns that mark the course of the river, together with the Mexican adobes with the moss of a century growing over the roofs, the curious custom of the people embracing almost every nationality on .the globe goto make San Antonio ore

the

moBt

teresting and pleasant summer resorts. A large percentage of the citizens are-. Mexicans. They are found in all parts of the city, in all occupations, holding official positions, and making good citizens generally. AB we rode through the city the air was filled with sweet' perfume of roses, honey rsuckle, and lilies of various kinds. The Marechal Niel and other fragrant roses vine to the top of two and three-story buildings almost covering some of the fine residences. The fig trees are heavily laden with fruit. The shade trees are mostly mulberry. They are also full of ripe fruit. Banana trees in almost every yard were just beginning to bloom. Peaches and apricots'were more than half grown and will ripen in June. Have all kinds of vegetables now in market. Crops are looking1: fine, having1 had plenty of rain. Wheat and oats will be ready to cut by the' middle of May. Most of the farmers are in good circumstances.

The first place of interest to visit was the Old Alamo. All hi^ory.readers know of this noted ruin, which was built in the year 1718, then used for religious purposes and served as a fort and protection against Indians. From there we went to the First Mission, situated on the river two miles below the city, built in 1731. Then to the Second Mission, which is four miles below the city. It was built in the year 1718. It was tho most beautiful and elegant of all the missions. Just below the city are four more missions something similar to the first.

The San Pedro Springs, where the convention was held, is a beautiful place, is a tract of land of fifty acres owned by the city and used for a park. There are several springs gushing out of the rocks forming San Pedro cerek Among the many attractions here are a museum of natural history, dancing hall, dramatic ha 1, band stand, bath house, swings, roller coaster, 'rustic seats, caged, animals, semi-tropical plants, etc.

There were a number of other places we visited, but for fear of tiring your' patience I will close by saying wo are making arrangements to be home by tho 4th of July. Respt. Yours,

Nicli,ik Bykhi.y.

Booming Ben-Har.

Brazil Times: A great interest seems to have aroused in the Tribe of BenHur by the presence in the city of Col. Royse, a supreme officcrof the order. Those who were already members of the order have taken it upon themselves to enthusiastically preach up the benefits of belonging to it to their friends, and, as a result, a number of new members have already been secured and many persons have signified their intention to join at an early day.

Most Generally satisfactory.

Cannelton Enuulrer: Of all the candidates for Governor on the Republican side it strikes us that J. A. Mount, of Montgomery county, would prove the most generally satisfactory. With him at the head of the ticket the narty could make an aggressive fight from the start.
