DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT.

Israel Patton Is Found Dead In tils Bed Last Tuesday at His Home North, of the City.

Israel H. Patton, living with his daughter, Mrs. J. G. Rush, near Garfield, was last Tuesday found dead in his bed, having died presumably from heart disease some time in the night. Mr. Patton was in this city Monday and his death comes as a great surprise.

Mr. Patton was born eighty-seven years ago, and was one of the best known residents of Montgomery county. He cast his first vote for William Henry Harrison in 1S3G, Mr. Harrison being the Whig candidate for President. Mr. Patton was the father of six children, two sons, Joseph and Elmer Patton, both of this county and four daughters, Mrs. J. G. Rush, Mrs. Geo. P. Anderson, of Crawfordsville: Mrs J. C. Larkin, of this county, and Mrs. Jennie Rusk, of Joplin, Mo. Mr. Patton had been a member of the Christian church for sixty years and was a man who lived so that at his death it can be said that he was a good servant and went to his reward confident of the crown of the victor.

ANew Enterprise.

A few weeks ago Secretary Russell, of the Commercial Club, entered into correspondence with Mr. J. W. Emmerson, of Lafayette, concerning the establishment of a plant in this city to manufacture the Emmerson patent creamer and refrigerator. Mr. Emmer son has held several conferences with the directors of the club and after thorough investigation has decided to locate in Crawfordsville. The near approach of the season for making contracts with dealers, makes it highly important to begin the manufacture of the creamers at once. Accordingly Mr. Emmerson Monday contracted with Johnson & Coutant for the wood work, the metal work and finishing to be done in a room down town, in order to be prepared for the spring and summer demands. He expects to manufacture twenty-five hundred of the creamers during the coming year, and eventually have a plant that will turn out ten thousand each year.

Mr. Emmerson comes without subsidy or donation of any kind and it is entirely owing to the efforts of the Commercial Club that this new enterprise has been added to our list of manufacturing industries.

Mr. Ntchols Was Known Here. Ben O. Nichols, who was killed in the railroad wreck at Malta, 111., Sunday, was well known in this city, apdat the time of his death was the general manager of the Crawfordsville Water & Light Co. He was forty-one years old and was engaged to marry a young lady in Council Bluffs, la. The body was taken to Indianapolis for burial, that having been his old home and his father now being engaged in businesb in that city.

N. JACKSON, Danville, III., writes: "My daug&ter had a severe attack of la grippe and a terrible cough settled on her lungs. We tried a great many remedies without giving relief. She tried Foley's Honey and tar which cured her. She has never been troubled with a cough since." Nje & Booe. "LITTLE colds" neglected—thousands of lives sacrificed every year. Dr. Wood's Norway Pine Syrup cures little colds—cures big colds too, down to the very verge of consumption.

In the,matter of the expense of the recent railroad election in which the trustee refused the] money tendered by the commissioners, it was agreed to allow him not to exceed $284.20, to pay election claims against the township. Inspectors were allowed $6 and mileage, judges $2, clerks $2, sheriffs $1.50 and $12 was allowed for putting up and taking down the election booths. The expense of rent and meals has already been paid.

This concluding the business before the board an adjournment was taken.

Had to Decline the Honor. Howard O'Neall, who was named by Rankin Waikup as his deputy in the office of county treasurer, has been compelled to decline the honor because of his contract with the New York life insurance company. Mr. O'Neall would have made a splendid official and much regret is expressed because of his not being in a position to accept the office. Mr. Waikup has as yet selected no successor to Mr. O'Neall.

New Faces at the Court House. Rankin Waikup took possession of the county treasurer's office Wednesday, and John Warbriton of the county recorder's office. Sheriff McCullough also began his regular term of office Wednesday.

But Four Mild Coses of Smallpox and No Danger of the Disease Becoming Epidemic.

At the meeting of the city council Monday night Dr. J. N. Taylor, city health officer, read a report on tho condition of smallpox in the city. Ho stated that there were now three cases in the city and one in Fiskville. The ones in the city are at Ben Weliver's at iil.'i east Jefferson street, one at tho home of a family named Elmore, near the corner of Main and Pine streets, and one on Spring street near Green, the person effected here being Jim Stevenson. Dr. Taylor stated that in his opinion the cases in this city wore caused by the negligence of the Lafayette authorities, who have been have a squabble about caring for the oases, a strict quarantine not having been established in that city, whore there were forty cases. He said there were two courses to pursue, one to tell the truth and let the people know the facts and allay their fears, or to suppress the facts and keep the public in the dark, but of the two oourses, the one far to be preferred was to let the people know exactly whore tho cases were and to tell what had been done to prevent the spread of the disease. All the cases are under a strict guard, no person being allowed to enter or leave the houses except the attending physician, Dr. Fred Dennis, who first dons a rubber suit covering the hands, face and body treated with powerful germicldo, which suit is taken off after coming out and placed

In a close bag and again treated to the fumes of a germicide to kill all tho germs of the disease. All exposed persons have been vaccinated and Dr Taylor recommended that all school children be vaccinated at once, and that library books returned from infected districts should be fumigated, as should also'all mail received from Lafayette. Vaccination is the only successful remedy to combat the disease. Dr. Taylor stated that In order to meet the rumors that had been given credence that the disease was not smallpox but chlokenpox, and to sustain the action of the city council, the oity health board had sent to I ndianapolis for an expert diagnostician, Dr. C. E. Ferguson, who had a great deal of experience with the disease, and that this gentleman had visited all the 6as6e.'

Dr. Ferguson was called upon and said In substance: "1 find the smallpox cases well marked in this city and no mistako has been made in the diagnosis of the cases. Splendid precautions to prevent the spread of the disease have been taken by your health board and quarantine is effectual. I would recommond, however, that if there are many more cases that a pest house with a wing for men and one for women be built, or the present house added to. Vaccination should be enforced where possible, especially among the sohool children. There is no occasion for alarm or for a panic in this city as the disease has been taken care of carefully from the first, and so far as suppressing the facts, I am sure the truth should be told. We have had smallpox at Indianapolis for three winters yet nobody stays away from our oity because of the disease. Such good care as has been exercised by the health officers of this city will no doubt prevent the spread of the disease here and the first feeling of fright will soon wearofT."

Dr. Barcus, county health officer, was present and endorsed all that had been said and done, promising the support of the county health board. He said that the truth about the cases Bhouldbe told by all means, and said that the precautions taken were very effective, and recommended vaccination as the best measure to combat the disease.

On motion of Greene the board of health was given the endorsement of the councillor the measures already taken, and were empowered to do everything necessary to cope wi^i the disease, even to erecting an addition tp the pest house if needed.
