SMALLPOX.

Tippecanoe and Clinton County Arc Full of It and Trouble Is Feared.

The health authorities of Crawfordsville and Montgomery county cannot be too vigilant in guarding against an invasion of smallpox from the north. Clinton and Tippecanoe counties seem to be full of the disease and new cases are discovered every day. Tuesday five new cases, were discovered at ManBon and the whole town has been quarantined. The Vandalia road has ceased passenger traffic with the town and the place is deserted except by the miserable citizens. The disease is also prevalent at Colfax and Mulberry and a big picnic scheduled to] occur near Mulberry on June 8, has «been called off by the health officers.

The Lafayette Journal Wednesday reporta that there are thirty cases in Tippecanoe county, most of them being in the townships of Wea, Lauramie and Sheffield. A negro badly broken out with the disease was picked up lying on the streets of Lafayette Tuesday and was sent to the pest house. The Lafayette health officer Tuesday issued the following warning: "As smallpox is prevailing in the county of Tippecanoe and as soma 30 cases exist on the east and south lines of the county, we deem it expedient as the only protection from this disease that you each and every one become vaccinated with fresh bovine virus, as the disease is bound to be prevalent until it reaches every person unvaccinated, and this is the only means we have to suppress it. We ask the aid of the public not to meet in crowded halls or public gatherings, and if you have not been vaccinated within two years, do so at once."

In Memory of James Swearingen. Once again do we hear the sad significant sentence whispered through our community, "He is dead." Once again we are reminded that the pulsations of our hearts are but "mullled drum-beats" tapping oil life's onward steps toward the grave. Once again God's whispered warning is heard close to our ear, "Dust thou art, and to dustshalt thou return." Once again we stand upon the verge of that strange, silent country into whose marvels and mysteries we enter by the door of the grave. Often have these reflections been thus stirred in the days that are past and gone, and over and over again will they come in days that are yet to be.

James M. Swearingen, son of Frank and Henrietta Gilkey Swearingen was born in Montgomery county, Dec. 13, 1871, and died in Yountsville June 1, 1901, aged 29 years, 5 months and IS days. He was a patient sufferer from consumption for several months. On Oct. 11, 189S, he was married to Miss Myrtle Snyder, who with one little daughter, Henrietta, is left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and father. When every earthly prospects seemed brightest he was called to bis heavenly reward. "His sun has gone down while it is yet day," but it ha9 gone to brighten another clime, and though his death was the cause of great sorrow to his many friends, yet it is a sorrow brightened by hope, for his sun shall rise again.

The funeral services were held in the Yountsville M. E. church Monday at 10:30 o'clock by Rev. Daugherty, and the remains were taken to the beautiful cemetery at Waynetown and laid to rest to await the final summons from on high. The funeral was largely attended and the floral offerings were many and very beautiful. He leaves besides a young wife and little babe, five brothers, six sisters, an aged father and many other relatives and friends who sadly mourn his death.

There is no death, the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore, And bright in heaven's jeweled crown

They shine for evermore.

He Is Not Scared.

Arthur Phillips, the young dentist who has been sued for $5,000 damages in Kokono, writes to his relatives here that he is not at all frightened as to the result of the suit. He states that it is an attempted hold-up and has not affected his large business in the least.

FATAL SMALLPOX.

A Number of Cases Between Crawfordsville and Frankfort—A Death at Manson.

Frankfort Morning Times: At ten o'clock last night James B. Street died of smallpox at his home in Manson. This is the first death from the disease to occur in this county in many years and came within less than two days after the disease had been definitely diagnosed as smallpox. The information as to the death was received here by Dr. McGuire within a few minutes after its occurrence and arrangements were made quickly with Undertaker Comly for the preparation of a burial outfit which will be taken to the stricken home early this morning by Thomas Perkins and the interment will take place at once in the Manson cemetery.

Mr. Street was sick several days last week, but it was not until Saturday that Dr. Lambert concluded that it was smallpox. He was afflicted with hemorrhage in connection with the other symptoms and when Dr. McGuire saw the case Sunday he had little hope of the man's recovery. His wife and three children have all been in the house with him during his sickness and the malignant form of the disease leaves little doubt that they will be attacked.

The disease' has appeared in two homes in Colfax also, five children of Samuel Wells having it. Just across the street Mrs. George Arnold and three children are down with the disease. It is said that quite a large number of other people have been exposed. The number of cases and the death of Mr. Street will result in the strictest possible enforcement of the quarantine regulations.

In Frankfort there is no change in the situation. There are no new cases. Mrs. Venis is a relative of Mr. Wells, of Colfax, and contracted the disease while there visiting.

Commissioner Albert Hornbaker has brought in from his Ripley township farm some rye that was six feet and eleven inches tall. He has afield of this article and has no explanation to offer for its unusual height, as the seed was the ordinary white rye.
