ONLY SMALL PER GENT DIE FROM DOG BITE

Bureau of Animal Husbandry Says It's Only Fifteen Per Cent —Gives Some Treatments.

A few facts regarding rabies, obtained from the bureau of Animal Husbandry.

The number of deaths following a bite from a rabid dog is fifteen per cent. The deeper the wound, the less bleeding and the nearer to a central nerve, the more dangerous the wound. Free bleeding helps remove the disease germs.

The first symptoms of rabies in a person appear in from 14 to 300 days after being bitten by the rabid dog, but the greater majority of them show symptoms in from 3 weeks to 3 months. The bite of a rabid dog is dangerous three days before the dog shows any symptoms of the disease. Rabies develops in a dog in from 3 weeks to 3 months after being infected.-

If a person is bitten by a dog, the dog should not be killed but tied up. If it is infected with rabies it will die within ten days. Then the victim can be sent away for Pasteur treatment.

Ninety per cent of hydrophobia cases result from bites of dogs, four per cent from cats, and six per cent from other animals.

The application of a five per cent solution of formaldehyde for twelve hours to a bite from a suspected animal is good treatment. Also pure carbolic acid washed off with alcohol. Nitric acid is sometimes used instead of carbolic acid. These three simple remedies are very effacious if applied at once.

The above statistics were supplied to the city health officer upon inquiry to the bureau of animal industry.

What Next?

The state board of health has issued the following bulletin: "At tention has recently been called to the long known fact that fishes are especially subject to cancer and other infectious diseases, by the announcement that the government is about to establish a biologial station having for its specialty the study of these maladies. Cancer seems to be almost epidemic at certain times among fishes, destroying great numbers. It has been observed that the cancerous tumors occur in trees, which grow sin low regions in which the soil i? .-saturated with sewage. It seems .quite reasonable that cancer in fish may be due to a somewhat similar cause. An evident objection to the use of fish as food is the fact that one can never know liow near yhe is coming to a cancer diet in paling a morsel of fish."

Obituary of Henry Reedy. Henry Reedy was born in Kentucky on the 17th day of December, 1848, and died at his home near Maxwell, Ind., May 16. 1912, age 63 years, 4 months and 29 days.

While a child, his parents moved to Hancock county, in the vicinity of Maxwell, where he spent the rest of his life.

In 1872 he was united in marriage to Nancy Elizabeth Elsbury. To this union were born eleven children, six girls and five boys, four of whom have preceded him to the great beyond.

He leaves a beloved wife, four sons and three daughters. He also leaves one grandson and a host of other relatives and friends.

Henry was highly respected by all who knew him and was "known as a strictly honest and upright citizen. Although he never mingled much in society, as he was afflicted with deafness, he would often say, "I would go if I could hear."

He never united with a church, but was affiliated with the Baptist faith, and left perfect assurance that he was at rest with his Savior.

The funeral took place May 19th at his residence, conducted by Rev. Dailey, of the Baptist church of ,Indianapolis. Interment at Cooper cemetery. d&w

Boy Scouts Organize.

A Boy Scouts' camp has been organized here by the Rev. Joseph Williamson, with sixteen members. The boys had their first outing on Friday evening, Mr. Williamson taking them down in the country a few miles, where they built a camp lire and prepared their supper in true scout style. They were instructed in an interesting manner by Rev. Williamson, and the boys thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They expect to have an organization of fifty members soon.

J. M. Huflford was at New Palestine on busiriess today.

THE OLD CEMETERY WHO IS THE OWNER?

County and City Attorneys to Take the Matter Up—Some Claim Trustee Must Keep It Up.

There seems to be some difference of opinion as to who owns the old cemetery in this city and an effort will be made to find out who the responsibility of keeping it in repairs rests upon.

Some claim that the cemetery is the property of Hancock county, some say the City of Greenfield owns it, while others claim that the duty of keeping it up devolves on the township trustee.

The cemetery has been abandoned several years and has fallen into decay and ruin.| It, is grown over with slmbbery, graves are sunken, in some instances a couple of feet, head stones are laying flat and the fence is in bad repair. Only now and then has a grave been kept up'and this once beautiful city of the dead, where scores of the early residents of Greenfield and vicinity are buried presents a forsaken and forlorn appearance indeed.

There seems to be a chance for it to be repaired and put in better condition now however, if the proper authorities can be determined. The city attorney, Earl Sample, has been instructed to take the matter up with the county attorney, T. E. Glascock, and determine who owns the cemetery, and whose duty it is to keep it in repair.

APPELLATE COURT

Following is the abstract of a decision by the Appellate' Court, af-

the owner of land and emplovpd

defendants to Irade the same 'for

lants, while assuming to act as the adopted and utilized it so readilj agent of appellee, perpetrated a I

unenforcible, because not in writing.1 (3) Error in allowing a witness to recite the contents of a written contract in the hands of the other party and without notice to produce is cured by the introduction of a copy of the contract by the objector showing the evi-

exempt from liability therefor, be- set more financial returns from its cause the contract for commission

dence correct. (4) Plaintiff could

introduce evidence of a conversation between herself and a third real estate agent in the absence of defendant for the purpose of showing she had not listed the property with the third real estate agent."

Mr. and Mrs. William Hubig have returned from Utica, Ohio, and will spend their summer tacation at their home in this city. Mr. Hubig is fortunate in owning two homes, one in Utica and one here, but he votes here and claims Greenfield as his residence. He has been a citizen of Greenfield for twenty-two years, coming here when S. R. Wells built the first glass factory. He is a skillful glassworker and commands the highest wages. Jake and Joe Antoni and Paul Pierce are also at home from Utica, where they have been working in the glass factory.

The young fellow who goes forth to fight the battle of life with a healthy body, clear life, good education, strong resolution, the blessing of his parents and with five dollars in his pocket is to be envied. He is far better equipped for life than the hampered youth who has well nigh unlimited spending money.—Exchange.

PONY OPSET BOGGY OH DRIVER

Rufus Black, 84 Years Old, Victim of Peculiar Accident—Arm Was Badly Injured.

Rufus Black, of near Philadelphia, who was 84 years old today (Wednesday, June 12th), was the victim of a peculiar and unusual accident a few days ago at his farm. Desiring to go over his place and being unable to walk the distance, he hitched a 35-year-old pony to a buggy and proceeded to drive about the fields.

After a time the pony seemed to be sick and he unhitched it and tied it to the back of the buggy, while he proceeded on foot. Becoming tired after a while, he returned and ciimbed into the buggy to rest. The pony, seeing the buggy top shaking, became frightened and, rearing back with all his weight atid power, he turned the buggy on the lock and upset it, with Mr. Black underneath. The pony broke loose and ran, leaving Mr. Black to his fate. With a lusty use of his lungs, he brought help in the way of a farm hand, who soon had the buggy righted and Mr. Black extricated from his uncomfortable position. He did not think that he was much hurt until his arm began to swell and continued until it was several times its natural size. He is under the care of Dr. Gibbs and the swelling is being reduced. It is thought that no bones in the arm are broken.

ther distance and see more patients than they formerly could in half a day with a horse and buggy, and then in cases of accident or sudden attacks of sickness they can be on hand in a few minutes, even though they have to travel several miles. This is an advantage not

onbr

to the physician, but to his patients as well, as a few minutes' time in some accidents or cases of sickness may mean the saving of a life, or days of pain and suffering. The automobile is surely the friend of the doctor and his patients in many ways and is coming into more general use by physicians every day. It is not only a quicker mode of traveling, but is much handier than the horse and buggy, once the owner of a machine has learned to operate it and can make a proper diagnosis and apply the right remedy, when its "innards" become affected.

DEATH ANGEL CALLS

Eighty-Four Years Old and Had Resided in Greenfield Since 1854— Born in Germany—Leaves

Daughter and Two Sons.

Mrs. Margaret Hamrnel, age 34, died at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon at the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Albert L. New, on Grant street. On account of her age Mrs. Hammel had been very feeble for some time, and fr a week past her death had been expected. She leaves a daughter, Mrs. A. L. New, and two sons, Geo. and Frank Hammel, also one sister, Mrs. Eliza Tieste, of Brooklyn, New York, and a large circle of other relatives and friends.

Mrs. Hammel was born in Germany and came to this country with a brother when she was 17 years old. They went direct to Pittsburg, where she became acquainted with Frederick Hammel, also a native of Germany. They were married at Pittsburg and came to Greenfield in 1854 and at that time Greenfield was talked of for the State Capital.

Mr. Hammel was one of the early business men of this city and was associated in various ways with the business interests of the city until his death, about thirty-two years ago. Since his death Mrs. Hammel has continued to make her home here where all her married life was spent and where all her interests were centered.

FORTVILLE WENT WET SEVENTEEN MAJORITY

John W. Jay. Well Known Temperance Advocate, is Partly Responsible—Election Was

Held There Tuesday.

Fortville, the beautiful little city of Vernon township, went wet at an election Tuesday, the wets carrying a majority of seventeen votes. A part of the blame for this result is laic at the door of John W. Jay, who has been known all over the county as one of the most enthusiastic, hard-working and fearless temperance advocates, and who acknowledges that he cast his vote with the wets Tuesday.

The election was held to determine whether or not Fortville should install a municipal waterworks system, and there has been a great deal of agitation for and against the movement, which will mean an outlay of S10.000 or more.

That a great deal of interest was manifested in the election is evidenced by the fact that every voter in the town but eight cast his vote for or against the proposed improvement, with the result that a majority of seventeen favored installing the plant.

Sweet Flowers.

Many parts of Greenfield just now rival the famous magnolia regions of the Southland.

North East street presents a grand appearance just now, and the atmosphere is laden with the perfume.

CLAIM WHISKY IS ILLEGALLY SOLO

Henry County Prosecutor Will Ask Council to Prescribe "DrugStore Limit"—Says Complaints Are Made.

Judging from the following article published in the New Castle Times, the drug store liquor business of that city is fairly prosperous. The Times says: "H. H." Evans, prosecuting attorney, is framing an ordinance to form a drug store district. The legislation that he will present to the City Council will provide for a district in which all drug stores that sell intoxicating liquors must be maintained, and providing a penalty for the violation of the ordinance. "Mr. Evans slates that he has received a large number of complaints because of the sales of whisky by drug stores in the south part of the city. Their Sunday business is said to be carried on without interruption and that more whisky is sold on the first day of the week than on the six other days. "The drug store sales have now reached a serious stage, according to the prosecuting attorney, and a general demand for police protection in the districts where the law is said to be violated is being made.

At present the police do not visit the factory district either day or night, except when called upon to make arrests. "An amusing story is being told on a well known south side druggist. who is said to be engaged in the traffic of whisky only. Saturday night a resident of the neighborhood, together with his wift, entered the store to purchase a pint of ice cream. They stood by a soda fountain and when approached by the proprietor the customer asked for 'a pint.' Much to his surprise the proprietor went back to the prescription case and returned with a pint of whisky. Explanations to the wife were in order and it was with difficulty that the husband made the matter clear."
