RABIES EPIDEMIC FEAR ABOUT OVER State Officials Do Not Believe Dog Examined Had

Dread Disease, The sudden fear of dumb rabies that was stirred up in Richmond the first of this week owing to the suspicious death of four dogs, who seemed to show slight symptoms of the disease, was allayed this morning when the city health department received official word from the Indiana State Bacteriological laboratory to the effect that an examination in the laboratory failed to disclose any nigri particles. Not entierly satisfied with the result, however, the state authorities determined to make further tests with the head of the dog which was sent for examination. For this purpose, some of the supposed rabies germs were injected into a guinea pig to see what effect would be produced. The actions of the pig will be closely watched, and unless he goes wild within a day or so, the local health officials will declare that no danger of the disease exists here. The chief cause for apprehension was the fact that .one of the four canines suspected of having died from rabies, bit a young girl shortly before its death, and steps were about to be taken to subject the child to the Pasteur treatment when the favorable report came this morning. Continuing their campaign against violators of the state laws regarding the recording of births in this district, local health officers today announced that there were eight hundred blind persons in this state who have been in that unfortunate condition since birth, and who could easily have been cured if the health officer had been notified. The local officers say that just a few drops of certain medicine would prevent blindness, but the health experts are helpless unless the attending physician reports the situation to them. Attention was also called to the fact that parents, in addition to doctors, are liable to suffer for failure to report, as the Btate law provides a penalty of imprisonment for all parents who are negligent in allowing an Infant's eyes to be destroyed.

Squire M. Young,' an aged negro and James Goodwin, white, both living near the east junction of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania railroad company were each fined $1 and costs in police court this morning by Mayor Zimmerman on the charge of petit larceny. Both cases were appealed by Attorneys Study and Freeman, employed by the defense In each case. ' Young and Goodwin were found guilty of having taken a number of railroad ties from the Pennsylvania yards. They were arrested by I. F. Burns, special watchman for the railroad company. Burns testified that Young admitted to him that he took the ties fromthe company's right-of-way. STRUGGLE. Did you ever hear of a man who had striven a'l his life faithfully and singly toward an object and in no measure obtained it If a man constantly aspires, is he not elevated? Did ever a man try heroism, magnanimity, truth, sincerity, and find that there vas no advantage in them that it was a vain endeavor? H. D. Thoreau.

DIVORCE PROBLEM "DISCUSSED TODAY

'.Court and Attorneys Talk of the Causes of Many Domestic Woes. Activities of the Wayne circuit court on Wednesday again were confined to consideration of marital woes and a discussion by Judge Fox and attorneys as to the causes for the prevalence of divorce actions, including suggestions for the modification of the state statues which might curb the excessive business of the divorce mills in this state, particularly in Wayne county. That the high cost of living along with other present day social conditions are largely responsible seemed to be the prevailing opinion. The livjing question is perhaps the most se rious of any the attorneys and court agreed. For example, the court said, that as a rule when two young people who have been in the habit of enjoying good clothes and other conveniences while single, got married and were confronted with the cost of living in many cases discord followed. With the increased .expenses of a wife and household the $50 a month clerk would find, the court said, that living actually was a serious propost

tion and more than likely the man would become dissatisfied with his wife; and the woman denied many of the luxuries which she had enjoyed before, would demand many of the luxuries which she had enjoyed before, would lose her affection for her liege lord. Judge Fox said that as the man and wife realized that married life was not a bed of roses, only the most sensible married couples could endure the changes which the new relations brought about. Consequently the dissatisfied, he said, rush to the divorpe court, where it is comparatively easy to cast off the yoke and return to good clothes and other former luxuries. The reason divorces are so numer ous is because they are 60 easy to acquire, the court stated, and furthermore because of the lax respect so many nowadays have for the marital

relationship. The statutes do not re quire that much be proven and consequently it Is very seldom a suit Is instituted without a divorce resulting. To correct the abuses, the court suggested that statutes be altered to make divorces harder; others suggested that with this reform, marriage should be a state more difficult to obtain. CHARACTER. The gifts of wealth, place, ease and luxury are dispensed with a good deal of caprice, but nobody ever heard that a character was got by chance.
