NEW HEALTH RULES Are Contained in Book of Instructions to Health Authorities f • 1 JUST RECEIVED HERE Copies Must Be Given to County and Court Officials and Enforced • On account of the various rules regarding public health laid down ia the diffeernt counties of the state, many of which were conflicting and caused much dissatisfaction 'among people who frequented different counties, the state board of health decided to take the matter in hand to is-' sue a set of rules pertaining to the public health which should be observed in every county in the state. County Health Commissioner Dr. J. M. Miller is in receipt of a number] of copies of the new "Book of In-, structions to Health Authorities,” which has just been issue by the’ state board of health. All the ruins pertaining to public health are promulgated in these books, the same being outlined by the members of. the state board of health and fur-; nished to the health authorities of each county in the state by the same | body through the county board of health commissioners. The rules contained in the books are those which were established on the date of-July 9, 1909. The attorney-general of the state says: "The rules established by the state board of health j have the force of statutes, and a law authorizing their adoption is con- ■ stitutional.” The state board de- ' mands that each county health officer place a copy of the book in the hands of the judge of the court, the county auditor, the prosecuting attorney. and each health officer in the county, taking their receipt for same, which is to be filed with the commissioner's report to the stateboard. o MEN WANTED—-I want a number of men to work at the stone quarry.

i PUBLIC OPINION (Continued from page 1.) f hold, but this does not constitute criminal liability. In the absence of any known motive or advantage to be gained by the father by the commission of such murder it Is hard to explain the reason for a desire on his part to see his daughter put to death. Even if the relations of the wife and stepdaughter were the most unpleasj ant it would not be natural for the father to take the part of his wife against his own flesh and blood to the extent of wishing her out of the way. While there are many incidents related that count against W. R. Krauss in public opinion there are also many ■ things that are just as strong in his i favor. Neighbors state that he was 'a kind and loving father and that r.e' did everything in his power, with the probable exception of marrying ’ against her wish, to make his daughI ter happy and contented. And these relations it is said, did not change ; after Rae Anderman became mistress of the Krauss household. —Hartford City News. o -— PUBLIC SALE The undersigned will offer for sale .at his residence 4 miles northwest |of Decatur at Stop 25 on the interurban, beginning at 10 o'clock a. m., Wednesday, Oct. 13, 1909, the following property, to-wit: Horses — One roan mare 6 years old, with foal; .1 black mare 12 years old, with foal; ; 1 two year old colt, 1 one year old colt, 1 spring colt. 1 Cows —One cow-, will be fresh in March; 2 cows will be fresh in April; 1 Holstein cow, fresh in December; 1 yearling heifer, 1 fresh Jersey cow-. 2 fullblooded Shorthorn cows (registered) will be fresh in November. j Hogs —Three brood sows with pigs by side. 14 shoats weighing 100 I pounds each, and ten good breeding I ewes.

LOANED HIS BUICK And Now the Borrower Has ' Disappeared—Ft. Wayne » Man Was Here I WAS AFTER MACHINE i Which Was Supposed to Have Been Used to Bring Man Here A rather old man rushed into the I office of the Indiana Lighting comj pany about ten o'clock this morning and told a rather queer story. He asked if a representative of a gas supply house had called there in an automobile yesterday afternoon. Informed that there was uot he said his belief had been confirmed that he was loser a valuable Buick automobile. He said (that a young man whom he knew quite well and who had a fairly good reputation about Fort Wayne, where the old man claimed to reside, had called on him yesterday and asked to borrow his car, stating that he could make some money by taking a traveling man for a gas supply house to Decatur. He granted the request and had not heard a word from the fellow since. He started a search this morning, believing at first that the man had met with an accident or had possibly been pinched lor fast driving and was held up, but as the fellow had never appeared here and no trace of him ! could be obtained along the route, he now believed the car to have been stolen. He gave no name, and when Mr. Monyhan offered to assist in finding some clue the man said be had to leave on the ten o'clock car, just ready to start, and hurried away. The marshal received a telephone call early today asking if there had ' been an automobile wreck here or if ! any one had been arrested for fast driving, and this rather lends credience to the story. o ’SUNDAY DINNER AT ANDERSON & DOLCH RESTAURANT.
