FAIR ASSOCIATION WARNED

Against Leasing Space for Any Kind of Gambling Device.

Prosecutor Evans has written, officially, to the proper officer of the two fair associations in the county, calling their attention to Section 2467 of the Statutes of Indiana. This act makes it a penal offense for any such association, or any officer of the same, to "let, donate, rent or lease" any piece of ground for .any sort of gaming device.

The law fixes a penalty of $25 to $100 for violation of the statute, and the prosecutor states that it will be strictly enforced this year. For this reason he is giving timely notice.—New Castle Times.

In discussing the case, Prosecutor Evans stated that it was his belief and opinion that Butler's commission as a justice of the peace had expired, and that he was not an active limb of the law any more. He further stated that he was not a party to the transaction in any manner, and that he knew nothing of the occurrence until he received the letter from the Cincinnati attorney. He has thrown out several lines of investigation and when the attorney, who claims to have been held up for $5, arrives from the Queen City, considerable information regarding the case will be forthcoming and it is hinted that there will be an interesting aftermath.

TO SUBSCRIBERS

We desire that every person who owed this paper twelve months' subscription prior to May 1, 1912, come in or send in the money for the same at once.

Cincinnati Attorney One Who Paid Fine at Levvisville and Says He Will Return to Assist in An Investigation.

L. A. Kreis, an attorney of Cincinnati. has written a rather hot letter to Prosecutor Evans, demanding to know by what rule, right or authority the marshal, Ed Nelson, at Lewisville, stopped him and took him before a justice of the peace, Lee Butler, and extracting or annexing the sum of $5 on an alleged charge of exceeding the speed limit on Decoration Day, says the New Castle Times. Kreis states that he was not arrested on a warrant that no affidavit was filed against him. and that any way, the sum of $5 did not legally constitute a fine and costs.

It has developed that Butler and the marshal also taxed another automobile party, but got only $3.00. Kreis contends that the proceeding amounted only to highway robbery, and he indicated in his letter that he will be here this week to prefer charges against the specified officers, or officials.

It has been brought out that the marshal collected the money and tried to turn it over to Mr. Bartlett, the town treasurer, but that he refused to accept the money on the grounds that there were no records in the case and that he could not legally accept it.

GREAT CROWD HEARD BISHOP W. A. QUAYLE

Subject of the Bishop Was "Mark Twain," the Great American Humorist, Who Scattered

Laughter and Died in Darkness.

A great crowd that filled the commodious auditorium of the Bradley M. E. church, heard Bishop Wm. A. Quayle in his lecture Tuesday night, his subject being "Mark Twain," the great American humorist. In giving his reason for making this man the subject of a lecture, Bishop Quayle said that anything Gcd had seen fit to fashion and create, was worthy of the attention of mankind and that anyone who could sow laughter all over the earth to banish sorrow and fears, was worthy of study and discussion. He took up the peculiarities of Mark Twain, one at a time and discussed them and their results in a most delightfully entertaining manner that held the entire attention of the splendid audience for more than an hour and a half. He lauded him for his ability and inclination to scatter laughter everywhere for his deliciously improbable stories and drew the lesson that man must have a God, from the darkness of the closing of the life of America's greatest humorist.

The lecture was all that could be desired in the wray of entertainment and many interesting facts about the life of the subject were uncovered to the gaze of the hearers.

Preceding the lecture, a musical number was rendered by a ladies' quartet, and the Bradley church choir rendered a beautiful anthem.

Tuesday afternoon Bishop Quayle addressed the Epworth League conference at the church and gave the delegates and others much food for thought for weeks and months. This address was one of the best ever heard here.

WAS AMONG THE BEST

Epworth League Delegates and Visitors Heard Rev. J. E. Williams in Closing Session—Delegates all Return Home.

The twenty-third annual convention of the Richmond District Epworth League Society is now past history. It is very pleasant history to some, however, as this convention was one of the very best ever held. The entire program was high class and most interesting.

The sessions were all well attended, there being an unusually large number of delegates in attendance, and Greenfield people, generally, took a great deal of interest in the meetings and attended the sessions largely. The committee on assignment was very busy, but they did their work well, and the delegates were wrell cared for throughout the convention period. The new officers are enthusiastic league workers jmd will no doubt be energetic in pushing the interest of the society in this district.

The closing session was held on Wednesday evening, and, contrary to the usual custom, many of the delegates remained to the end, to hear Rev. J. E. Williams, who is one of the well known strong ministers of the district. At this closing session the M. E. church choir rendered a pleasing anthem and the Rev. Everett Naftzger sang a solo.

Resolutions were presented and adopted, thanking the members of the Greenfield Chapter, the people of Greenfield in general, the Bradley M. E. choir and all who had a part on the program and helped to make this convention so pleasant, profitable and entertaining.

REPUBLICAN.

HAD THE SMALL POX WENT TO CHURCH

Ray Amos, Aged 19, Escaped Health Officers and Now Members of Congregation are in a Panic.

A pall that cannot,be thwarted or averted, hangs over the pretty little town of Needham. Johnson county, and the residents, men. women and children are on the verge of a panic as a result of a visit paid them Sunday night, one week ago, by a lad suffering from a fully developed case of small pox.

Ray Amos, aged nineteen years, employed as a street car conductor by the Indianapolis Traction & Terminal company, became ill and suffered several days before the nature of his afflication became known, with the result that the Indianapolis health officers were hotly on his trail with a trip to the pest house pending for the young man, when he made his escape.

Amos is a native of Urmeyville, Johnson county, and he went there immediately from Indianapolis. Urmeyville is a small place and as the sufferer wTas not confined to his bed he sought the companionship of old friends at the Needham Methodist Episcopal church Sunday night.

During the service he sat in the midst of the congregation and at the close he mingled freely with the worshippers all of whom knew him and wished to speak a word of encouragement and greeting. Several of his friends noticed the splotches of red on the lad's face and upon inquiry their fears were allayed by the lad who stated that he was suffering from a bad case of skin poisoning.

Friends believed the lad's statements and offered words of condolence and wished that he would soon be able to eradicate the unsightly splotches. Nothing more was thought of the matter.

During the following Tuesday a resident of the community passed the home of the lad's uncle in Urmeyville, where he was sitting in the yard. A short conversation with the lad quickly convinced the resident who had previously been in contact with small pox sufferers that such was the nature of the disease.

The news spread like wildfire and within a few' hours the health authorities at Franklin were called into the case and had the lad under quarantine.

For Sale—169-acre farm in Hancock county, Sugar Creek township, twelve miles from Indianapolis— fifty acres in timber, balance of ground tillable. Modern ten-room house, slate roof and up-to-date barn and out-buildings, slate roof. One and one-half miles wralk from interurban cars. Liberal terms.

KILLED FINE BULL

Wm. H. Thomas Has Lost Many Head of Stock This Season from This Disease, Which Has

Raged Everywhere.

William H. Thomas, southeast of the city, lost a fine registered Short horn bull Tuesday evening on account of hydrophobia. The animal contracted the disease, it is thought from a dog, suffering with rabies, which was killed two weeks ago, after it had been running about the neighborhood quite a while. It was not known at the time that any stock had been bitten.

The bull showed signs of hydrophobia a few days ago, and was killed Tuesday evening to end its suffering and prevent any further danger from that source. Several people from this city and some from Indianapolis drove out to the Thomas farm to view the animal and its actions.

Mr. Thomas' loss from hydrophobia has been heavy this season. As the result of his own dog going mad, he lost four steers, one milk cow, a horse, a sheep and the bull killed Tuesday. A cat also died of the disease.

Hydrophobia has been more prevalent this year than ever before in. the history of the country. In almost every county of the state and especially the central part of the state, many cases have been reported.

THE MONTH OF ROSES HAS FIVE SATURDAYS

Also Five Sundays and Not a Single Hoodoo—Is a Month For the Wage Earner.

June, the month of brides, was born under clear skies and sunshine. This June will have five pay days and five Sundays. It is essentially a month for the man who toils and is paid by the week.

There are no holidays and no hoodoos. The 13th falls on Thursday and the 23d on Sunday. The month ends on Sunday.

Last year June had only four Saturdays and i'our Sundays. It had one hoodoo day Friday, the 23d. The month began on Thursday and ended on Friday.

Dandelion Wine.

Gather three quarts of dandelion blossoms at night, pour four quarts of boiling water over them and allow to stand until morning. Strain through a cloth, slice into the liquid three lemons and two oranges from which the seeds have been removed. Add three and one-half pounds of sugar, place over fire and heat until sugar is dissolved. Pour into jar, cover and let stand twelve to fourteen days. Remove, skim, strain and pour into bottles, cork when fermentation is complete. Large quantities of wine can be made in the same proportion.

Yaughan Kester's new book, "The Just and the Unjust," for which the thousands of admirers of "The Prodigal Judge" have anxiously waited for months, has at last been published. The scene is laid in an Ohio city, which in the book is called "Mt. Hope," but which in reality is Mt. Yernon, Mr. Kester's boyhood home. It is also a known fact that the central incident of the story actually happened when Vaughan Kester was a young boy, and it made such a strong impression upon his mind that when he began writing he resolved to use it in a novel.
