FARMERS RUSH PORKERS TO MARKET AND LOSE MONEYFEW TRY VACCINATION—
SERUM EXPENSIVE.
IS UNCOMFORTABLY CLOSE
To Hancock County—Said to Be the Worst Epidemic of Cholera Rush County Has Ever Experienced—
Big Decline in Prices, as Hundreds Are Thrown on the Early Market.
Hog cholera in epidemic form is getting close to Hancock county. In iact, it is too close. The Rushville Republican of Monday says:
An epidemic of cholera among hogs has struck Rush county with the result that several hundreds of dollars have been lost by farmers in the last few days. The epidemic is said to be general in all parts of the county and many farmers in every direction are complaining of the loss of valuable porkers. Cholera is killing the hogs in great numbers and a number of farmers say they are losing as many as eight and ten hogs in a single day.
That cholera is more prevalent at the present time than it has been in years, is plainly evident by the rush season which the veterinary surgeons of this and surrounding cities are experiencing.
In a few instances farmers are trying to save their hogs by vaccination, but there is a scarcity of serum at this time and they are finding it very expensive. The serum which is used in vaccinating hogs is manufactured in three states only, and at present these establishments have all they can do to supply the demand in their own states.
The epidemic has caused many farmers in all parts of the county to rush their hogs to market. More porkers have been marketed in this city the last ten days than in a long time. This has caused a slight decline in the market price. Stockbuyers and packing house men say that the cholera epidemic has resulted in more than a thousand hogs being sold by farmers in the last few days, which otherwise would not have been sold before Christmas.
The epidemic is said to be one of the worst this section of the state has known in several years, and the farmers will be heavy losers as a result. Many farmers south of Rushville are treating the hogs for cholera. The heaviest loss has been reported from that quarter. Several farmers believe t^hat they have checked the spread of the disease on their farms.

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE
Money Paid Voluntarily On Finding By Accountant Who Audited His Books.
The Appellate Court has reversed the decision of the Henry County Court in the case of Harrison Township et al. vs. Milton Addison, with the following notes on the case: "Appellee was township trustee. At the end of his term his accounts were tangled. He was indicted by the grand jury for embezzlement, and there was much excitement in the community. He proposed in open court to have an accountant examine his books and agreed that he would pay all found due according to the report of the accountant if the prosecution was dismissed. The prosecuting attorney joined in the agreement and the accountant filed a report showing the trustee indebted in the sum of $2,901.49. The trustee excepted to the report and the court entered judgment that $1,150.95 was due, which the trustee paid and the prosecution was nollied. A year after the payment was made the trustee commenced this suit to recover what he claimed was excessive in the payment. It is held (a) The payment was voluntary and could not be recovered, (b) That it was not under duress, as ^t was a legal and good faith prosecution, (c) That the payment was made to compromise a prosecution and the law will not grant relief, (d) That there is an utter failure of the complaint to show that the trustee was dealt with harshly before the payment.

LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL TEAM DEFEATED NEW CASTLE TEAM BY SCORE OF 12 TO 0, IN
GAME SATURDAY.
AFTER STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
New Castle Papers Say Greenfield Has Fine Team and It Certainly is a Fact—Boys Play Great Ball at Every Game and Have a Good
Show For the State Championship Which They Expect to YVin.
In the third game of the season Saturday afternoon at Harvey's Park, the local high school football team was defeated by the Greenfield team by the score of 12 to 0, says the New Castle Times.
The game was hard fought in the first two quarters, but Greenfield scored once in the third and once in the fourth. A good sized crowd came with the team from Greenfield, and the local boys were very well supported, the total attendance being about 200.
The field was marked off differently for this game than for any of the previous ones, as it was stretched east and west, instead of north and south, as heretofore.
The Greenfield boys are contestants this year for the state championship, and it seems that they have a pretty good show for it. Last year they were beaten for that honor by the Brownsburg team. This year they played Brownsburg a 0 to 0 tie game.
Both sides Saturday tried the forward pass frequently, but neither was able to work it to very good advantage. The men to which the ball was thrown did not seem to get under it, and as it hit the ground it had to be brought back to the former line. There was some discussion before the game started as to which rule concerning the forward pass would be used, and the officials finally decided on the last rule, that the ball should be brought back if it touched the ground at all.
First Quarter.
Greenfield kicked off to New Castle, and the ball was returned ten yards. The teams see-sawed back and forth on the field for some time, the ball being almost all the time in Greenfield territory. Both teams tried forward passes and fumbled them. Barr and Cooper, of Greenfield, were slightly injured in this quarter, but both returned to the game. The quarter favored New Castle.
Second Quarter.
Greenfield again failed to get away with the forward pass several times. About the middle of the quarter, Tapscott, of Greenfield, caught Pressnall behind the line for about 15 yards' loss to New Castle. Good end runs were made by both teams. The quarter ended with the honors about even.
Third Quarter.
This was the fastest quarter of the entire game. Tapscott made a fine end run for Greenfield, and later Thomas, of Greenfield, made a touchdown, the first of the game. Tapscott kicked goal. Bennett made another end run for Greenfield. Peckinbaugh, of New Castle, hurt his leg slightly. Bennett, of Greenfield, who was hurt in the ankle in the Franklin game a week ago, was again hurt. Soon after this, Cloud, of New Castle, tackled Bennett hehind the line for a 10-yard loss to Greenfield. Score, Greenfield (. New CasUe, 0. Greenfield's quarter.
Fourth Quarter.
Bennett made the second touch down, for Greenfield'in this quarter, and Tapscott again kicked goal. Bennett was taken from the game on account of the injury to his ankle, and Morehead put in his place. The game ended with the ball in the hands of Greenfield, in Greenfield's territory. Score was, Greenfield 12, New Castle 0. Greenfield's quarter.
The game was made especially interesting on account of the yell loader from Greenfield. She (the leader was a girl) led the rooters with fine precision and tried to rattle the New Castle signals several times.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS CLAIMS ITS VICTIM
Little Mary Warln, oF Noble Street, Succumbed Sunday After Illness of Month—Funeral Tuesday.
1
Infantile paralysis, the new and dreaded disease among children, claimed its first victim in Greenfield Sunday, when Mary, the 12 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John H. Warth, succumbed to the disease at their home, 320 North Noble street at 3 o'clock.
The little girl had been sick for a month and was unconscious for twenty days, when Dr. King, from the State Board of Health office, came and pronounced it a case of infantile paralysis, although not a typical one. Usually paralysis develops within a few days, but in this case it did not develop until a week ago. There has been no hope of her recovery for some time. Mr. Warth moved his family here from Kentucky a year ago. There are seven children.
Funeral Tuesday at 2 o'clock at the home. Interment, Colwell cemetery, Lynam & Co., undertakers.
HNE FOOTBALL GAME
Greenfield Athletes Defeat Strong Military Athletic Association Team—Score, 11 to 0.
The Military Association visitors put up a mighty good game at the old fair ground field Sunday afternoon and the Greenfield Athletes met them with the gamest fight they have made this season. Their victory was only the more glorious on account of the fight required to win it. The home team expected to have to earn all they got, so were prepared for every phase of the game.
Oscar Stephens, one of the best football men Greenfield has ever turned out, who is now playing half back, has been elected captain of the team, and being a man with much experience, should lead his team to victory in every game that is played this season.
The Athletes are booked for a game with the Maroons, of Indianapolis next Sunday at the old fair ground field.
HELPFUL WORDS
From a Greenfield Citizen.
Is your back lame and painful? Does it ache especially after exertion?
Is there a soreness in the kidney region? These symptoms indicate weak kidneys:
There is danger in delay. Weak kidneys fast get weaker. Give your trouble prompt attention.
Doan's Kidney Pills act quickly. They strengthen weak kidneys. Read this Greenfield testimony: Elijah Hunt, 523 Broadway, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I never had occasion to take Doan's Kidney Pills personally, but I know them to be a remedy of merit. They ha\e been used in my family for backache, and a weakness of the kidneys, and have lived up to all the claims made for them. They cured a member of my family about six years ago, and as there have been no symptoms of kidney complint since then, we look upon the cure as a permanent one."

Murder Trial in Shelby County. The trial of Charles Edward Vanpelt, of Shelbyville, charged with the murder of Charles II. Tindall on the 25th of last August, is set for November (3th. The first, legal battle in the case was Monday, when a motion to quash the indictment. was made on the grounds that it is faulty and not specific. The line of defense. iL is thought, will be temporary insanily. because of alleged persecutions of Vaupell and family by Mr. Tifidall in connection with a financial shortage Tindall is alleged to have charged against Mrs. Vanpclt as a Court of Honor officer.
Miss Glen Bell, of Charlottesville, and Earl McCormick, of Knightstown, were calling on friends here Sunday evening.
Roy Crider and wife, of Indianapolis, were guests Saturday night and Sunday of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dora Crider, east of the city.

Insulted Ladies—Arrested. A man selling pins and needles used insulting and profane language this morning when Mrs. Geo. Duncan and Mrs. J. W. Kendall refused to buy his wares, and he was arrested by Officer John Walsh and placed in jail. He later plead guilty before Mayor Myers, and said he wanted to go to jail anyway. The mayor is considering the proposition of adding to the sentence a diet of bread and water. Two other men, J. B. Keating and W. S. Grossback, of Indianapolis, plead guilty to defacing electric light poles and were fined $8.05 each.
Bonano
Helps Stomach Trouble A lady from Champaign, Illinois, writes: "In regard to Cereal Coffees, I have reasoned out the matter for myself.
Cereal coffee always gave me colic—the direct result of non-as-simiiation and non-elimination. The starch in these coffees was an irritant and the cause of intestinal disturbances.
BONANO caused no such effects. This result pleased me, but also puzzled me, as I knew that bananas contain some 22 per cent, starch— but when I learned that in bananas ripened in the tropics the starch was converted into fruit sugar by the ripening process, it gave me the solution, for BONANO, containing no raw starch, but fruit sugar, is immediately assimilated.
I am very glad, indeed, to serve BONANO to my friends." Order of your grocer, or send 2c stamp for sample package—enough for 10 cups. INTERNATIONAL BANANA FOOD Chicago COMPANY Illinois oct31\v2
