NO TYPHOID FEVER HERE
DePituw I Diversity Safe Place to Send Students, as Health Stir-, roundings Are Excellent.
A citizen of this state, desiring to educate his two boys, writes to the State Board of Health in regard to the health of various college towns. He says; “Will you please inform me concerning the health condition of our college towns. I would like to have special information in regard to Greencastle, Goodland, Terre Haute and Richmond. I wish to send my two hoys to college, and will selcci the most healthful town, for I desire them to have healthful surround-
ings.’.’
More and more people are begin ning to learn that we suffer from di ease because we surround ourselvi with the conditions which cause it. Our correspondent well understaii is that typhoid fever and other Intestinal disorders prevail more in some localities than in others. This very fact marks such localities as unclean, for the existence of typhoid fever simply means that sewage is not properly disposed of. Not to dispose of sewage in a sanitary way marks :i community as behind the times and not alive to its host interests. As t > consumption, there is but little difference in localities. The northern part of the state shows a lower con sumption rate than the central and the central lower than the southern part. This is also true of all of the
infectious diseases.
We replied to our correspondent, giving him the death and disease rates of tlie various localities and al so giving him specific information of the several college towns. We know of a mon who refused to send his Ison to the Indiana University at

DePauw faculty held their regular weekly meeting Tuesday afternoon. The only matter of public interop that came up for discussion was the guestion <>i whether or not a liolida.. should he granted for election da... November 3. No vote was taken, but it seems to be the general opinion that there will lie no holiday.
The Warrum Meeting at Cloverdale this afternoon was an immense success. The ideal weather made it possible to hold the meeting outdoors, as the hall in which Hanly recently spoke would hold but a small portion of the crowd that came out to hear the Indianapolis man and Senator Moss. Senator Moss spoke in Bainbridge last night and went to Cloverdale this morning. Mr. War rum opoke in Madison, Indiana, last night and reached Greencastle today at 12:45 and drove at once :o
Cloverdale.
The meeting was to begin at 1:30 o’clock, and was add reseed first by Senator Moss, who briefly and clearly outlined some of the issues of the campaign. The senator was hear 1 with interest, and his statement of the situation met witli hearty appre ciation and support. Mr. Moss was followed by M■ Warrum in a speech that covered th issues of the campaign in a masterly manner. There was plenty of enthusiasm and Democratic doctrine a put forth by the two eloquent speak ers of the afternoon found a read
hearing.
A number of Greencastle citizen went down to take part in the afternoon’s enthusiasm, and they report that Democracy in South Putnam was never more harmonious nor
stronger.
Congressman Butler evidently had an experience which was new t > him Monday night and if it was it must have ioen the first time that he ever made a speech outside of the Republican ridden state from which he halls. Mr. Butler proceeded to draw a grand climax on which he expected a burU of vociferous applause. He told his audience that there was a large factory in his district which had posted a notice that if Mr. Bryan was elected the plant would shut down indefinitely. If Mr. Butler expected applause from his audience and there is no doubt that be did, he was Imdlv fooled. The speaker emphasized his point by slapping his hands together an 1
waited for the effect.
There was not a round in the house for a few seconds It was an ■ niburrassing suspense for those few seconds and then the silence was broken by several hisses from th" hack end of the room. Instantly people began to bob up in all parts f the house, and it steady stream oi humanity started for the door. For several minutes the Pennsylvania Congressman saw the sight of his life. He had been used to talking to serfs and slaves who don’t know nythlng else and are not allowed t > know anything else, but vote the Republican ticket. Here he saw free Vinerirnn citizens for the first time and he saw them resent the insult to their Intelligence by getting up and leaving the hall. From 100 to 150 people filed out of the hall in a teady stream and the steady tram i of feet made it impossible for Butler to resume speaking for several minutes. With his mouth open as if he were paralyzed and his hands hanging by his side, Butler stood silent),on the stage and watched the crow 1 of people pass out and sadly deplete his already small audience. Brazil
I )emocrat.
The officers here received word yesterday afternoon from the police of New Castle stating that a negro, who answers the description of Clayton Herring, wanted here on a burglary charge, is under arrest In that town.

Her ring jumped from u window and es-
caped.
