Family Near Wheatfield Refused to Obey Quarantine.

Kankakee Valley Review. Mrs. Ben Frpel, who resides on the George Marr farm, north of town, called at the office of Dr. Frye here Tuesday of last week and complained of not feeling well. Upon examination her case was diagnosed as a well developed attack of diphtheria, and the doctor advised anti-toxip treatment, which was objected to by the patient, who was accompanied by her husband. They were ordered to return home and subject themselves and family to a strict quarantine as required by the state board of health. .It is the duty of any physician or any person who has reason to know that any patient or any member of his family has any communicable disease as Übted in the rules of the state board of health to immediately report the case to the board of health, and a quarantine shall be established at once, after which it is unlawful for any persons to enter or leave the premises quarantined without permission of the health officer having jurisdiction. Any person who shall violate the law on quarantine, upon conviction, shall be fined from ten to fifty dollars, to which may be added six months' imprisonment. Dr. Fyfe, after a careful diagnosis of the Freel case, reported the matter to the county board of health, as he is required to do by law, and a report comes from neighbors that the family have been ignoring the quarantine. Mr. Freel made a visit to South Bend to attend the funeral of his brother, and Dr. Fyfe reports that Mr. Freel threatened him when be undertook to put up the quarantine notice on the premises. Dr. Wilson, of Hebron, was called and pronounced the case of the most malignant type of diphtheria. Every citizen should do his utmost to prevent the spreading of contagious diseases of all kinds at all times, and if families who have the misfortune to be stricken with diseases which are communicable, do not obey the law, the health department should enforce it Every provision for the comfort and needs of persons quarantined is provided by law, and the citizens should co-operate with the health officers in enforcing the law.

Another case of diphtheria in this township was reported by Dr. Fyfe Sunday evening, when he was called to the home of Mrs. Brooks, the new resident just north of the C. I. & S. railway. The patient was the 5-year-old son of Mrs. Brooks, who had just returned from Danville last Saturday morning. A quarantine has been established and every effort is being made to prevent the spreading of the disease. Many were exposed to this case from the fact that the threshing machine was at the Brooks place Saturday, which attracted many spectators from town.

EDITOR CRAW VISITS IN JASPER COUNTY.

Didn’t Know Haw Goad Thtogs Were North of Rensselaer Until Ho I Recently Had a Look. Oxford Gazette. We visited in Jasper county four days the pail week, north of Rensselaer in a country we had an idea was slough and scrub oak sand ridges, with but few, other than web-feet natives living there besides bullfrogs. We saw No bullfrogs. Many names and farms belonging to Germans. As good corn as we have seen in Benton this year. Good wheat. Good oats, though both were hurt by dry weather. Poor potatoes. Meadows only fair. Pasture better. As good houses and barns. More silos. Ten to one milch cows. As good horses as here. There is one peculiar thing about the land. Some farms had the corn we speak of, while maybe the very next farm will be “bogus” land on which the corn will be altogether inferior. No satisfactory reason is given for the bad land. Nearly every farmer keeps a herd of milch cows and sells either milk or cream.. I. F. Meader, with whom we had a delightful visit, milks seven cows, and his receipts from averages about $36 per mop th. He sold last year near $750 worth of hogs, beside poultry, eggs and other farm products. The great dredge ditches the story.

Some land we thought no good is very productive when properly cultivated. We saw some land now worth SIOO per acre that ten years ago was unsaleable at $35. We saw John Poole’s farm. Did not stop to dig for dead men. . Saw the great Kankakee marshes on the south side of the river. For more than two miles a high dyke road had been thrown uji by a big dredge and people are cutting hay this summer, but it will several years before corn and oats are cultivated there. Some of the farmers got all their frame timber and floor lumber from the trees on their own farms. The oak, jack and white, is good. The country was an agreeable surprise. There are school houses every two miles and churches at convenient places.

We had a delightful visit. The C. & E. I. takes a traveler 40 miles in about seven hours, and the train men seem to think that is going some. We spent three hours in Goodland and are ahead a good pocket, knife and a Filipino penny which we picked up in the park. We met a lot of old friends in that town, but missed Phil Poutre. We got lost going up and when going north it seemed west. Mr. Meader went to that country ten or eleven years ago when a boat was needed during the rainy season if one got over the farm. He saw the leal hardships that come to a pioneer in a wet land with a limited capital, and it invested in scrub oak ridges and low swales almost on a level with the great river ten miles away. He had seen the canals dug through the low places and some of the hills until the water level has been lowered 8 to 10 feet, and intelligent farming has been followed by abundant crops. His land could easily be sold for >IOO, which would have been three times its value ten years ago. They live on the direct route between Rensselaer and Chicago, and the honk, honk, of auto, and chug, chug, of motor is heard almost constantly, some days as many as 200 pass: Rock and gravel roads and the dredge ditch are making this a desirable country in which to live. Not far hence the land will become the garden spot for Chicago and Gary. Already acres of cabbage and cucumbers are grown and the yield is as high as >IOO net per acre.

Good Word From “Sis Perkins.”

• “Sis Perkins,” a rural comedy, which was presented to the public at tho Post theatre for the first time, played to good bouses both matinee and night The play takes place in the northern part of Indiana, and deals with the typical farmer and the eastern gentleman. The play is similar to the comedy of “Sis Hopkins.” The role of Barnaby Underhot is a comedy part and is played by Edward Delaney, who is a very cleveFcomedian. Aunt Mandy is also a comedy part and is played by Katherine Selsor. Miss Selsor scores a laugh a minute. The title role is portrayed by Miss Audrey St Clair. The part is a very good comedy part and the little lady is a very clever lead. —Battle Creek Enquirer. The play will be at the Ellis Theatre Thursday evening, Aug. 24.

Says We Will Have Mauseleum Whether We Want It or Not.

The Monticello Journal says that Rensselaer will have a mausoleum. The cemetery trustees, the city council and the city attorney decided that we would hot have one and refused to give space in the cemetery for the erection at one and the city attorney said that they would go farther and refuse to grant a permit for the erection of a mausoleum on ground within the corporation and outside the cemetery. The couhciT became convinced that the plan suggested by Dr. Evan Tucker and Mr. Austin, the promoters, was not economical, and that if carried out on the lines they proposed some one would make a profit of about $30,000. They said that they would reserve the right to erect a mausoleum themselves and sell the crypts at a figure not exceeding SIOO each, whereas the promoters expected to sell them at from $l5O to S2OO. They also figured that they could erect a 400-crypt mausoleum and after paying for the building and the right to use the patent form of crypt construction, they could deposit in a bank or invest SIO,OOO, thus providing for permanent maintenance and upkeep, and still have a substantial balance by selling the burial privileges at SIOO. - So they recided that there would be no mausoleum. The Monticello Journal, however, says there will be one built here, and we are wondering where the Journal gets its information.

This Might Be a Good Way To Build Line Through Jasper.

England is to have the trackless trolley. The experiment is to be made at once between the cities of Bradford and Leeds. There are no tracks, of course, .and the car, which is specially built, gets its power from a wire suspended from poles, just as the trolley street car does. The vehicle is built something like a ’bus and trolley car combined, and runs by electricity obtained from an ordinary overhead wire, but secured by a running gear taking current; from two wires through a flexible conducting wire, whereby the motorman is able to steer his craft readily through streets not overcrowded with traffic, which makes it especially utilizable in rural districts, where the trolley meets comparatively few vehicles. This method of transportation "is not original with England. Several communities in Germany and Austria have it already. However, its Introduction in England will serve the purpose of bringing it under closer observation in this country, and if it is successful between Bradford and Leeds there will be no time lost in transplanting it to the United States. Here it would do two very important things. It would stimulate road building and would facilitate the means of communication in the country districts.

Harold Corya, a clerk in a Shelbyville drug store, saved a young woman from serious injury when her hat was ignited by a cigar lighter in the store. He tore the flaming hat from her head and suffered severe burns on his hands. The young woman escaped with a few singed locks of hair. Veterinarians say that 6 per cent of the horses in Terre Haute are suffering from a disease contracted at public drinking troughs. The disease is similar to typhoid fever, and is especially severe on younger animals. The early symptoms are heaving and coughing and tightening of the throat. Frank Rawson, a detective of Kalamazoo, Mich., has filed suit for SIO,OOO damages against the Chicago, South Bend & Northern Indiana railway. He claims to have been injured June 5, when the interurban car on which he was riding from St Joseph to South Bend ran into an open switch near the latter city. Coming in contact with a high voltage wire at Elkhart, W. L. Stookey, a lieman employed by the Indiana and Michigan Electric company, suffered a severe shock ana was precipitated td* the ground, a distance of sixteen feet, Saturday afternoon.

His mother heard the commotion and rushed in to find the bed burning and the little boy clapping his hands and laughing at the flames. The fire was extinguished after the bed clothing had been burned.
