; XKTnvna onuntv inwrisMn trustees
have received letters from the tstato board of health, which in fact are in the nature of warnings Attention is called to the necessity of getting all school houses and premises In condition by the time the fall term of school begins.
"The children are entitled to every condition of good health," says Dr.
, Hurty, secretary of the board, "and to
i every conauioo necessary nr iuen ! progress and it is actually a sin not to Iglve them such surroundings. Bad food, insufficient clothing, foul air in unventllated bedrooms and school
rooms. Insufficiently lighted and un
evenly warmed, schoolrooms, and
are all handicaps to progress and
health." With the letters which are now be-
insr Trmilpfl out there are inclosed con-
ie of the rules of the state board of health in regard to school buildings , and attention is called, to the fact that j these rules have all of the force of ' law and that the penalty for violation
is a fin not exceeding $100. Frequent Causes of Sickness. fallowing is the letter which, with the rules, constitutes the warning to the officials: j "In most cases the schoolhouses during the summer stand as did the one Whittier describes 'an Idle beggar sunning.' The yard becomes overgrown with grass and weeds, the water In the well becomes stagnant and unfit for use, the schoolroom being closed against light and air, becomes ,'damp, foul and unhealthful. Much of the sickness attendant upon the beginning of school could be averted if these several matters were properly attended to. The schoolhouse should be thoroughly renovated and left open to the light and air for several days (before school convenes. The floor and woodwork should be scrubbed at least a week before thi3 time, that they may bo entirely dry. "The yard should be mowed, raked and cleared of all rubbish. Weeds in a city are among the most bitter enemies of the health department, and the same precautions should be taken against them in the country" districts. They should be removed and burned before the first day of school. Drinking Water Must be Pure, . "The well should be cleaned about two weeks before school opens and should be pumped out several times after that before the water is used. "To delay doing any of these things
until the last ew days before opening school marks the school authorities as negligent and incompetent. Would a really successful and honest business
as many school authorities are of the
public property? It is discouraging
jthat so many trustees do not pains- , takingly care for the schoolhouses under their Jurisdiction, but it is more discouraging to know that the people the very patrons of the neglected sohoolhouse, do not protest and see to It that their servants do their duty."

PARALYSIS PROVES FATAL TO AGED WOMAN
Mrs. Elizabeth Strickler Dies
At Her Home in Hagerstown Saturday.
George Kell of Liberty, an amateur, surprised the Richmond sportsmen yesterday by taking first place in the fourth annual road race held by the Richmond bicycle dealers. Harry Griffith of this city won the first time by beating Biglow, the middle west champion, who hails from Chicago. John Shallenberg won the Pierce club gold medal awarded for the most meritorious riding. Young Kell had an old wheel which was claimed to run like an ice wagon, and how he man
aged to pull out first place is a "won- I
der to all who saw the race. It is stated that he can climb the hills around Liberty with ease and it is thought that his strength gained there aided him to win against the other contestants. In the second round he overtook two men, in third round he passed three, and in the fourth he
passed eight and won first with a lead of fifty yards. He won the first place and he won the second time prize making the course in 50:4O minutes.
This is the fourth road race that has
been held by the Richmond dealers and was the most successful that has
been held. There was some disap
pointment among the dealers because of the small number of entries, but this was no detriment as all the riders were fast and gave good exhibi
tions of fast bicycle riding. There
were more than three hundred enthu
siastic men and boys present to wit
ness the race.
The race was over a course three
and one-half miles long, and was
covered five times by the riders. The condition of the road prevented fast time. John Shallenberg was awarded the gold medal for the meritorious ride. He was thrown from his wheel six times. Silas Bdown, who has
won several races appeared in poor form and finished fourth. The wheels of several riders were broken in spills.
Earl Cotton was hurt painfully in a fall. A Piedce racer was offered for first time, and a National racer for first place. The riders finished in the following order: George Kell, Liberty: Harry Griffith, Richmond; Frank Limerisk, Hamilton; Lewis Roth, Richmond; Granville Harris, James McCarty, Herbert Cotton; Howard Biglow, Chicago; Silas Brown, Richmond; Robert Graham; Robert Miller, Hamilton; John Shallenberg, Richmond; Selby Williams; Earl Orgg, Hamiltcn.
Greensburg has small trees growing out of the dome of her court house but Cambridge City has sunflowers growing upon trees says the Connersville Courier. It is hard to tell just what the surprise will be when Rushville shall have been heard from. A shade tree on one of Cambridge City's principal streets has gone into the sunflower business, not on a large scale, to be sure, but it has gone into tht business. Two nice. !iealfhv. high
ly-colored sunflower stalks have attached themselves to this tree, or the
rea has attached iUelf to them and
their blades reach up high in t ie
branches. On each stem nods a big sunflower, which like their namesake, Clyte of old. follow the sun in, its course across the heavens. Local scientists and curbstone wiseacres account for the phenomenon in this wav:
The,y say a bird a little bird once
upon a time visited a sunflower and playfully picked a mouthful of seed
from its saffron face. Then this lit
tle bird soared away and hid itself
n the foliage of the tree. While it
sat on the tree the little bird be
thought itself of a song and straightway began to chirp. Now, as two things cannot occupy the tame space at the same time, the seed had to vacate when the song butted in. When
the seed thrown, upon the mercies of
gravity, dropped downward and lodg-S
ed under the bark of the tree and
herein took root and grew and grew
and grew and grew.
Speaking of sunflowers. Rev. J. T.
Scull, pastor of the M. E. church in
Milton Milton is one of the sides of
Cambridge, you remember has a sun
flower eleven feet and ten inches tall,
and has leaves twenty-two Inches in
length and nineteen inches across.

LONE POLICEMAN NABS THREE THEIVES Men Were in Act of Robbing Sleeping Sailors.
A ddition aisports vW be found on page seven.
New York. Aug. 22. At the point of a pistol, three alleged thieves were captured early today by Policeman J. B. Schneider of the West One-hundredth street station while they were
in the act of robbing five sailors of the United States cruiser Prairie, who were sleeping in a doorway at Ninetysixth street and Broadway. The robbers drove up in a hansom cab and turned out the street lamp. Then they began quietly rifling the pockets of the sleeping men when Schneider appeared. Holding them at bay with his pistol, he rapped for assistance. The arrest of the thieves caused great excitement in the neighborhood-

f " " Money-Making Ways of Using Want Ads
To Get a Room or Roomer If you are hunting for a Room you want one as near as possible like Home. There are many such in this city. But they don't have signs in the window and make a "bid" to all classes. The refined, cultured people who have Rooms to Rent, use little Want Ads on our Classified page under the heading "Rooms For Rent." If you want a select, quiet Room, read over the places offered in this column for a few days. Or, to get quicker results, write a little ad telling the kind cf Room you want, and insert it under the heading "Rooms Wanted." You will then get in touch with just what you want. And it pays to go to this little expense but a few cents for clean, wholesome surroundings count much. The examples will give you a suggestion. EXAMPLES

Children Had Good Time. The Children's athletic games given
yesterday afternoon under the super
vision of Roy J. Horton, Y. M. C. A.
physical director, wero a decided success. About three hundred of the
youngsters assembled on the green
north of the Chautauqua grounds and
engaged in a merry afternoon of
games and races. Mr. Morton had
appointed Harold Taggart, Karl Sie
weke. Harold Myers, Wallace Gifford
and Tom Davis, leaders. When Mr
Horton had announced a game these leaders, took the different squads
through it. They played kick ball,
basketball relay, three deep, sting
goal, cut out, and had relay races.
The children spent three hours on the meadow and entered into the games in great spirit. Mr. Horton is
much pleased with the outlook for
athletics among the Richmond boys. Children Were Lost. During the exercises yesterday aft
ernoon three children were lost from
their friends but all were restored with no mishap more serious than the loss of a few tears. Lucile Jones wandered away from her father and was found
by one of the guards. He put her up
on the platform and she laughingly
told her name and said that she was lost and wanted her papa. Papa, who was in the audience, came forward
promptly.
Patrolman McNally did not fare so
well with his charge. A little girl
while her parents were viewing the lake had wandered away and into the Chautauqua grounds. McNally found her and asked her name. She replied that she was lost and didn't have any. The patrolman .put on a wise look and said. "What does your mamma call you when she wants you to come." "I don't come" was the reply and McXally, wiser In child-lore than he was a few minutes previous, took her to headquarters. Her parents came later and got her. Parade's Fame Spread. The fame of the great parade had spread over Indiana before the sun went down last evening. Superintendent Shaw late in the afternoon received a long distance call from the managers of the Lafayette Chautauqua, who wanted to know all about the "great parade." The Lafayette men will try the same thing next year. Countless official photographs of the parade were taken and will be used In the Sunday school journals all over the country. Indianapolis leaders who have talked of a parade for the last year and a half have taken a new lease of hope and will begin at once working up

day afternoon. At the banquet held at the Westcott last May it was voted to have a tent where the women teachers of the county might rest when they desired. The need of such a tent was obvious last year. Miss C. A. Merlng, Miss Mattie Dickinson, and Miss Carolyn Salter originated the project and
are in charse. There are cots, writing tables, a reading room and other conveniences. The lady instructors of Wayne conn- , ty, when they attend chantauqua next week will no doobt feel grateful toj the women who have prepared this place of rest. . - - ;
