A DANGER TO DREAD.

Health Officers Discuss Smallpox in Indiana—Twenty Counties of the State lire Allllfted With the Disease Strong Resolutions are Adopted.

The health officers of the et?te devoted their closing session yesterday to a long and earnest discussion of the danger of the reappearance of smallpox throughout the state with the coming of cool weather. Means of preventing the ravages of the dread disease were discussed in papers and various resolutions were offered. The following were finally adopted: "WHEREAS, Bmallpox, a destructive and loathsome disease, now prevails in twenty counties of Indiana and "WHEREAS, This disease will very probably appear this winter in a viru lent and death-dealing form, thus bringing a calamity upon the state and "WHEREAS, Vaccination is an almost absolute preventative of smallpox: th jre fore "Resolved, That the conference of the Btate health officers urges the people not to delay, but immediately be vaccinated and revaccinated until the physician pronounces protection established."

Other propositions to express the sentiment of the state health officers upon the danger were discussed. Dr. Bosworth, of Winchester, urged that the supreme court be asked to hurry the decision in the Terre Haute case bearing upon the right of a school board to bar unvaccinated children from the schools.

Resolutions were adopted sustaining vaccination, and criticising "certain well meaning but fanciful persons" who are opposing the plan of preventing the disease. Resolutions were aaked for by members for the appointment of a committee of two by the state board of health to prepare a report 011 tuberculosis and to investigate beer and compel the brewers to print the component parts on the outside of the packagc::-.

I'asscd Away.

"I»ut, oh! fell death's untimely frost. That nioped our llower so early." Again has God in His infinite power and wisdom seen fit to call from our midst another precious fiower, Bessie Marie Sharp. Bessie Marie, only daughter of Willis and Mary Sharp, died at the home of her parents, 90S west Main street, 011 Thursday morning, June 22, 1S99. at 2 o'clock, of eerebro spinal meningitis, after an illnebs of over ten weeks, at the age of six years and sixteen days, Sne leaves a fattier, mother and a host of friends and relatives to mourn her loss. One by one the sickle of time clips the flowers of life, some in bud, some in bloom and some withered by age. This was a bud that had not yet bloomed. It has budded on earth to bloom in heaven. Death has taken from a happy family a jewel of the highest price, an idolized daughter and a loving friend. Her sweet life faded away as quietly and with the grandeur of a glorious sunset: grand because of its purity and glorious because of the assurance of rising again, for those that die in tbe Lord shall again live. Dear father and mother, grieve not. Let God's love seal and soothe your wounded hearts and the consolatiou of a grand reunion wipe away your tears. The span is short between now and eternity, when the broken links will be joined with golden bands of happiness. Till then, dear Bessie, farewell. The funeral was held this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

Interment at Calvary cemetery. The circle Is broken—one seat is forsaken. One bud from the tree of our friendship Is shaken.

One heart from among us no longer shall thrill With joy in our gladness or grief in our ill.

Weep! lonely and lowly are slumbering now The lipht of her glances, the pride of her brow. Weep! Badly and lonif shall we listen in vain To hear thesoft tonesof her welcome again.

0! who can forget the mild light of her smile Over lips moved with music and feeling the while. The eye's deep enchantment, Jark.Urea.rr.like and clear, ...In the glow of its gladness 'he shade of its tear? -T?

As a cloud of the sunset, slow melting in heaven, As a star that is lost when the dnyllghtis given As a glad dream of slumber which awakens in b'.iss, Sho has passed to the world of the holy from this. K. L.

NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT

Of the Grand Army of tlio Republic at Philadelphia.

Under the shadow of old Independence Hall the general committee of veterans and citizens preparing for the 33d National encampment and reunion of tbe Grand Army of the Republic, during the first week of September are hard at work and they say that the demonstration in Philadelphia vill exceed anything that has ever preceeded it. Pniladelphia is patriotic to the core and when she sets out to make the soldiers of the rebellion welcome, she intends to do it to the "Queen's taste." One of the prettiest attractions at the great encampment will be the camp in Fairmount Park. There will be accommodations for 10,000 men in tents, with cots for four men each. The camp will be pitched on a beautiful plateau of 23 acres, overlooking the charming Schuylkill, with the city in the distance. It will be accessible from all parts of the town at all hours of the day and night, and will be guarded by a battalion of the sons of veterans. In the heart of the city there will be free quarters for fully thirty thousand additional comrades, so that all who come will be sure to be cared for. Then, again, the committee on public comfort have done a big thing. They've arranged a plan of registration for the visitors, so that one will be able to find an old comrade of the war at any tiruB, day or night, in 'steen minutes by the "town clock," which, by the way, is the biggest clock in this big world.

The following is the programme for the week, as revised: Monday, September 4th.—Reception of viiiting posts and delegations at railroad stations parade of naval veterans.

Tuesday, September 5th.—Parade of the Grand Army of the Republic reception at the Academy of Music to the national encampment, G. A. R. Woman's Relief Corps: Ladies of the G. A, Daughters of Veterans and other national societies. The President of the United States and members of the cabinet, tbe governor oi Pennsylvania, the mayor of Philadelphia and many other distinguished officials, eomrade-3 and guests are expected to be present.

Wednesday evening.—Receptions by the Woman's Relief Corps, Ladies of the G. A R., and Daughters of Veterans. The "Dog Watcb" of tbe Naval Veterans will be hold at the Academy of Music oa Wednesday evening, and the camp-fire of the national associa tion of union ex-prisonere. of the war at the Academy of Music on Thursday evening.

The business sessions of the various national organizations and corps, division, regimental and ntSer reunions (about 200 of t.he6e alone) will bo held on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, there will be a groat naval review ou the Delaware river, which, it is anticipated, will be the grandest event ever seen in this country.

Additional facts are contained in the following arrangements just completed by Capt. John M. Vanderslice, chairman of the committee on campfires and reuriious, for the regimental, corps and other reunions:

Armies of the Potomac, James and We6t Virginia.—All the commands of tho Army of the Potomac, the 1st, 2nd, 3d, 5th, Oth, 9th, 11th and 12th corps of the Army of the James, the 10th, 18th and 24th corps of West Virginia, the 8th corps of the Defenses of Washington, the 22d corps, will hold their reunions in Odd Fellows' hall, Broad and Cherry streets.

A Former CiBivfonhillStaD. A special from Delphi Bays: "Colonel" William D. Pollock, tbe veteran poet and newspaper correspondent, of Henpeck (pr Deer Creek),, the town made famous by James Whitcomb Riley, has returned to the Carroll county poor farm after an absence of several saonths. Ever since tha oldest inhabitant can remember, the name of "Colonel" Pol)ock bas been a hontsehold word in this part of the state. He lived in a small housejtat Henpeck, did o6d jobs, and during &pare momenta wrote poetry and news for the different papers. Every year tbe "colonel" would take a tiip on foot to bis old home in Switzerland county-, stopping at all the newspaper offices along, the route,, and thare arej^.few editors between Logansport, and the Obio river who have not a. personal &cfjuaintance with him.

Two years ago, aftec the "colonel' 1 made his regular trip, be returned to his home at Henpeck.,. but be found that during his absence Bome one had entered bis house a.nd carried away all his. lurniture. Winter was approaching, and as he had no means 'to set up housekeeping again and friends turned a cold shoulder, he decided to spend tbe remaining days of his life at the couuty farm. He was', admitted and remained several months, but one day he disappeared and the next heard of him he was down in Switzerland county. fclis old friends inithat part of the state had died and scattered over the couutry. The old man, penniless and friendless, returned to this county. "Colonel" Pollock istsixty-four years old, He was born on a farm which is now a part of the city of Crawfordsville. At one time he was in comfortable circumstances, but, through a series of misfortunes, he lost his property. 1 A Big Time Expected.

Richard Moore, thejmanager of the hotel at the Shades, was in the city Monday to secure the services of the Crawfordsville band for July 4. The celebration there this year will be the most elaborate ever attempted at the resort and plans are being made to entertain a big crowd in a fitting and pleasing manner. A fine programme has been prepared and several other good features will be added.

The Men are Foolish

To leave measures for suits till we show the new Suitings at our store.

We bave surpassed all expectations in the volume of trade enjoyed the past year. Our Sacrifice Prices did the work. The nimble dollar buys more at our store than any other place. We felt impelled to buy heavily of Spring Goods. In fact we bought too largely and now will sacrifice values again. Spring has come so quickly that the goods must move more rapldlv.

Why We Have Drawn Attention of the Housewife.

We give more good merchandise for your dollar than any of our competitors try harder to please you and always have something for you free. You can get the rebate stamps with each purchase at this store we also give away handsome bronze mantel clacks when you have purchased $25 worth at this store, and we say, More good for one dollar than elsewhere."

NO fIND TO IT.

No Trouble About Natural Gas Pressure,.* Says Diuterich'e Indiana Manager.

James Murdock, of Lafayette, who has charge of the Indiana and Ohio interests of the Dieterich gas syndicate, is in New York and has the following to say in the hotel column of the New York Tribune: "The consumption of natural gas in the west is increasing every day, instead of decreasing. We- have done twice B6 large business in Indiana this year as we have ever done before. Pressure? There is no trouble about the pressure. In twelve years it hasonly decreased from 320 pounds to the square inch to 250 pounds. This may be accounted for by the fact that new fields are being constantly opened up.

We could get along on 70 pounds pressure if it were necessary, but there isno indication as yet that wa will bocalled upon to do so. It is not a bit more likely that natural gas will giveout than it is that th« supply of coal will become exhausted. People are learning to have more confidence in itall tho time. Our system is growing with remarkable sapidity^ We never lose a customer. No, I don't believethe east will ever be supplied with natural gas unless, fields should be discovered in Pennsylvania or some other neighboring state. The cost of piping it from. Indiana or Ohio, even if it were possible to do so, would be too great to permit of its use by tbe general public."

State Geologist Hlatchley says the supply of natural gas will be exhausted within three years, but that the coal supply in Indiana is good for 1,600 years. Mr. Murdock is quoted as saying it is not more likely tho supply of gas will give out than that the supply of coal will become exhausted. He also says "we can get along on seventy pounds pressure." Mr. Blatohley claims gas wells "go dead" under 130 pouodB pressure.

•Struck By lightning.

Ladoga Leader: A1 Hurt's residence in the east part of town was struck by lightning Tuesday night, and the plastering was cracked aud timbers split in every room of the house. The kitchen safe was reduced to splinters and the dishes it contained were piled on tbe floor. They were, however, not so badly broken as one would expect to find them after 6uch treatment. 'i

Mr. Hurt's two little girls were knocked down and it was at first thought the younger one was killed. She was very limp but still breathing. After being bathed in cold water she revived and soon Beemed as well as ever. The older one got up and took an interest in finding what injury the lighting had done to the house, but afterward became sick and has sine required the services of a physician.
