Physicians are puzzled over a peculiar disease prevalent in Muncie. The chief symptom is abscess in the head, accompanied by severe pain. One death lias resulted from the disease. Several persons suffering from the disease are in a critical condition. No means of relieving the patients’ suffering has been found. Physicians are of the opinion that the disease is due to climatic conditions of the last few weeks.

F. A. W. Lindsey, one of Geneva’s very aged residents, lies at bis home in a serious condition and it is thought the end is near at hand.

Combined with a rack for ’ men’s cravats, a roller device is being made which smooths out the wrinkles from neckwear. At the top of the fixture is a mirror, beneath which is a pair of rollers, the upper one provided with strong springs which tend to press it against the other member. When a cravat is wound tightly about the lower cylinder and left until the following morning the wrinkles from the previous day’s use are eliminated. From the March number of Popuular Mechanics Magazine. In the current issue of Farm and Fireside a contributor tells as follows of the achievements of her cat: “We had something happen last summer that we thought peculiar. One of our cats began staying close to the verbena beds in the evenings. Soon we saw her catching hawk moths. He did the work so well that although we had 1-10 tomato plants we had scarcely any worms. Generally it is quite a task to keep them off the vines. We intended to kill the cat as we have two others and like them better, but his life is safe now.” A newly employed bell boy at the Hotel LaSalle, Chicago, recently ere ated a laugh in the lobby of the hostelry by paging “Doctor Yak,” comicsection character. The “green” bell hop evidently had not seen a comic section of the Chicago Tribune, as he took his order to page the doctor seriously, and kept up -the call for nearly fifteen minutes. Finally he reported back to the desk clerk. “Doctor Yak isn't here.” “Why, Doc Yak is a goat,” said the clerk. “He appears in the fnuny papers.” The new bell hop got red about the cars and remarked that he guessed he was the “goat” instead of Old Doc Yak. —Cartoons Magazine.

GOVERNOR WISE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) changes, the number of new laws will be reduced away befriw the average. Tho opinion of the general public is in accord with the sentiment now prevailing around the legislature, so It is likely that quality and not quantity will prevail to the end of the session. The Stotsenberg constitutional amendments have consumed much of the senate’s time this week. They have agreed upon thirteen out of the twenty-two, and have sent them on their way over to the house. The house is in a humor right now to do most anything, so the fate of the amendments is uncertain. It is not expected that the bill introduced by Senator Van Auken for the consolidation of Indiana University with Purdue will succeed at this session. There is much talk and not a little sentiment for such a consolidation at some future time. Many believe that one or both institutions should be located in this city, and before anythin? resembling removal is seriously considered, several cities in the state will get into the running. Representative Habermel of Harrison county is one of the live wires in the house. He is more than in earnest in his appeal for support for the bill asking the state of Indiana to purchase the old state house ami grounds, and to preserve them for tlie state. He is otherwise a very useful and earnest membeh of the lower house. A DOLLAR SUNDAY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) each man to place a dollar in the collection plate Sunday evening and each lady to give fifty cents. It is believed tlie Sunday collection will take care of a large part of the preliminary expenses. As soon as this necessary amount is collected, and whicli will probably be in the neighborhood of $2.000,, no more collections will be taken until the very last day, unless it should be for some special purpose. Rev. Honeywell says the expense here is low compared to most cities and it is hoped the collections will soon cover the amount and get it out of tlie road. o TURKISH GUNS INEFFECTIVE. Athens, Feb. 27, —(Special to Daily Democrat) —Two Turkish forts inside the Dardanelles are being heavily shelled by XTce-admiral Cardens fleet and part of one of the batteries has been destroyed. Several vessels in the allied fleet have suffered slight damage. The Turkish shells however, are badly aimed and the forts hate been unable, despite the short range, to force the war ships to retire. The latest despatches said that the cannonading continues. The two forts under foe are the first Turkish defenses inside the strait, the outer fort having been demolished. o WILL DRIVE MOTORS.

Berlin, Feb. 27 —-(Special to Daily Democrat) —Two batallions of English suffragettes have been landed in Havre, Frances. The bureau asserted that the suffragettes will drive motor cars relieving male drivers who will go to the front. o- ■ - — - WILL ATTEND TABERNACLE. All members of the W. R. C. and the G. A. R. are notified to meet at the G. A. R. hai: at 6:30 o’clock Tuesday evening to attend the tabernacle services in a body. Every member requested to join the crowd. 5012 0 TRIXLER IS NOMINATED. Washington, D. C., Feb. 27 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—Lewis Trxler was today nominated by the president for postmaster of Huntington. The nomination came after a long and bitter fight. AVIATORS ARE RESCUED. Lowestcst, Eng., Feb. 27—(Special to Daily Democrat)—Two German aviators were rescued in the North sea today after clinging to their wrecked aircraft for two days. —' lrOne of the first annual spring fruitkilling wails comes from Sturgis, Mich. The paper says that southern Michigan faces one of the most disastrous fruit crop failures in history. During the past several days, fruit trees bearing early in the spring and summer have budded. Should there .he a sudden drop of temperature in the next few days or even a heavy frost, a large majority of the trees would be deprived of fruit for the year, while it. is even probably that a few would be killed.

Stop the murders in Mexico —Col. Roosevelt In Mexico men like you, Americans, brothers to you by the same blood, have been murdered. American women like your wife and sisters have been outraged. American homes like your home hallowed with the same dear associations, have been pillaged and burned. Read Colonel Roosevelt’s indictment of a government that has done nothing. Learn the menace that present-day Mexico is to our peace with the world. Already Spain, her minister ousted from Mexico, has petitioned the Powers to step in and settle the anarchy across our own borderline. And with Japan—is it to be everlasting trouble, endangering peace, or is there a possible solution e vital issues between us? In a courageous article Colonel Roosevelt answers the Japanese problem as he sees it. Today Europe is hip-deep in war. The world bristles with guns, it is a time for intelligent listening and clear thinking, rhe two biggest questions before you today are discussed by a man whose Americanism no man ever questioned. You will find this compelling contribution by Colonel Roosevelt in the March Metropolitan. • And in the same remarkable and timely magazine you will read “Twilight Sleep in America,” by the pioneers of the movement in this country, Mary Boyd and Marguerite Tracy.
