HERE THERE and EVERYWHERE

An epi de mic of 'measles Is being experienced at Monticello, twentytwo cases having been reported to the health officer in one day. The disease is seriously affecting the attendance at school. , A dispatch from Richmond, Virginia; in a recent issue of the South Bend Tribune said: “E. J. Jensen of Knox, Indiana, is held here for treason. The exact charges against Jensen have not been given out by the federal authorities.’’ The nineteenth annual reunion of the 147th regiment, Indiana Volunteers, known as the “Studebaker Tigers,” will be held at Elkhart on May 10. Company A of this regiment was made up of volunteers from Knox and Starke county. The roster of the company during its service in the Spanish-American war shows its strength to be 107, and only eight of this number are known to have passed away during the past nineteen years. Because of lack of men in the Knox and Winamac companies of the Indiana National Guard these units, through orders from Adjutant General Harry B. Smith, have been disbanded./ Copies of the order were received Saturday by Captain H.' D. Turner of Company H and Captain John G. Capouch of Company L. Both are keenly disappointed! over this turn of affairs, but /they feel that they are in no wise responsible for the general lack/of interest that kept their compaiiies below the required minimum Strength.—Starke County Democrat./ The targe bakers in Lafayette have Announced that after this week ho 5-cent loaves of bread will be baked. This is brought about by the high cost of wrapping paper and, the tremendous advance in floqr. The Ruger company quit baking the 5-cent loaf the first of th J week; the Weigle company 'will no't bake tM 5-<!ent loaf after this week and Keller Brothers announced yesterday they would cease baking the small loaf in about a week. The 10-cent loaves weigh about eighteen ounces, while the ojcent loaves that have been on the market weigh about eight ounces.

Monday morning while grinding al roller disc, George Drivelbiss, blacksmith at I Ade, had his lleft forearm nearly severed. After the accident, Pearson Pendergrass put him in his. car and brought him to Blook. On the way he bled pro;ulsely, the bottjom of the car was covered with blood. It took some little time to find a doctor and it” is estilniated he lojst over a quart of blood. Dr. Collier examined the wound and found no tendons severed and then dressed the wound. During all this time the injured man chatted freely with everybody and insisted on 1 returning to Ade, ami so far seems not-to have suffered from the blood loss, a tiling that would have put most men to bed. But he will not have the use of that arm* for dome come. —Brook Reporter.
