The Charles Richardson family numbers eight members and their doctor today reports the father and six children have the small pox. This home was already under quarantine. A boy in the family first contracted the disease. The father and five other children took the disease. They live on Indiana street— Bluffton Banner. . Louie E. Schekle, a laborer who has been working for the Cass Construction Co., at Akron, drank so much whiskey Friday that he became "dead” drunk, so drunk in fact that he did not feel the pain caused by firee which burned away all of his clothing from his shoes to his knees. Proof of this fact can be furnished by Schekel, who is now in the hospital ward at the jail. Henry L. Peltier, a young farm land, employed in Sugar Creek township. Allen county, has contracted the hoof and mouth disease, the result of having assisted his brother care for infected cattle at Toledo. Physicians 'efuse to state to what hospital or what city he has been taken, and declare they intend to watch the developments of the disease in order to determine what effect it has on the system of a human being. They declare the disease is by no means fatal. During the fiscal year just ended the Erie spent almost $14,000,000 in improvements while the profits last year only amounted to $139,000 on 560,000,000 worth of business. All this is due to rate reductions, wage increases, the requirements of regulating bodies and the higher cost in the materials and supplies. The tonnage carried in 1901 was less than in 1914 by forty-nine per cent, but the profit on doing business and keeping up the property during the last year decreased ninety four per cent. A Christmas tree holder which keeps tho tree green and prevents the leaves from falling, has been devised. It consists of a japanned pan which has a conical receptacle fitted in the middle of it into which the tree is set. Three metal braces, which may be folded down when not in use, extend from the rim of the pan and are screwed to the trunk of the tree. When the tree is in place, water is poured into the container, preventing the tree from dying out. and to a degree making it less inflammable. — From the December Popular Mechanics Magazine. The destruction of a cathedral at Rheims by German guns removed a monument of medieval architecture, which cannot he restored. Wrecked, walls and towers are all that remain of one of the choicest specimens of Gothic are, with a history clothed in tradition and filled with the romance of ceutries. Two pages of views in the December Popular Mechanics Magazine depict the state of the ancient edifice after the bombardment. An article states: “In the opinion of architects who have viewed the ruins, its restoration is impossible. The heavy projectiles which flaked the carvings on the walls and facades, and shattered the statuary, converted the interior of the building into a mass o' crumbled stone, broken glass, and charred wood.” "There is no danger of a Christmas toy famine on account of the European war. Some kinds of playthings for which this country has been dependent upon Germany may not be so abundant as formerly, but American manufacturers are already producing toys to an annual value almost equal to that of the German imports, and American children are no longer exclusively supplied from Nuremberg,” says the December Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated article. “The center of the American toy industry is at Winchendon. Mass., where several of the most important factories are located. Opposite the .Vilway station in this city is an enormous hobby-horse, and this symbol very nearly tells the story in regard to the city’s industries. Even before the war (broke out, toys of every kind were being produced in enormous quantities in this city. These included even the Noah’s arks, which for many years were turned out exclusively by German makers. The situation is one that may result in a big change in the toy-making industry.” —o FOR RENT—Good seven room house, on Studabaker street, near the South Ward school house. Apply Geo.
