The child died at the home of her grandparents, 454 South Thirteenth street. Infantile paralysis is a very serious contagious disease. It is more prevalent in Europe and In the eastern states more than in this section of the country. Only few cases have been reported in the middle west.

The report that Mr. Doney would resign from the office of chairman, was denied by his friends who attended the meeting yesterday. No date was recommended to the County Central committee for the holding of the County convention, so that the question of placing a county ticket in the field is a matter of conjecture. The final reports of the six months poll were led at the conference yesterday and thoroughly examined. The Democrats who were asked regarding the various polls refused to make any statement. They were also very reticent in discussing whether a county ticket would be placed in the field. Not to Blame. Lady But this fisb isn't fresh! FishmongerAnd whose fault Is that?

Liberty, are openly seeking the nomi- ( nation. The names of A. J. Roos, of Franklin county and former Mayor Burton F. Swain, of Shelbyville, are also mentioned as receptive candidates. George M. Barnard, mayor of New castle, will preside as temporary chairman. Some of those running have made a canvass of the district and claim that sentiment is quite strong in their favor. They call attention to the fact that two years ago there were 5,000 stay-at-home Republicans in the district and these will vote this year. They are counting on but small losses because ot the progressive ticket as that party has made no move as yet to put a ticket in the field. Men other than those mentioned have been talked of and the race may prove an interesting one. The Auditorium has been leased for the occasion and this will afford room for any who may wish to attend. WILL TALK ON HELL Bible Student to Offer Some Explanations, Sunday. Joseph Cooch, an elder in the Day ton class of International Bible students will deliver an address next Sunday at three o'clock in the Pythian Temple, upper floor. Admission will be free and no collection will be taken. "Hell" What it is? Where it is? Who are there; When will they get out; When hell will be destroyed; When and why the doctrine of a burning hot hell and a less hot purgatory were added to the gospel of Christ. The true meaning of the Bible term, "Lake of Fire and Brimstone." These points will be conclusively and reasonably explained by Mr. Cooch and all Christians and skeptics dissatisfed with the impressions received in childhood on "Hell" are specially invited to hear. Hundreds of ministers throughout the world have within the last four weeks publicly repudiated the burning hell fire theory. They have cast away the error. Every one is invited to hear Mr. Cooch next Sunday afternoon. Portraits. "I don't think your portrait Is mnch like the original, old man.

Sheriff Boner, the fugitive Preble county official, spent three hours in this city Thursday evening, leaving on the 9:10 train for Indianapolis, from where it Is presumed he transferred for St. Ixmis. While in this city Boucr wrote three latters to his wife, ani met and talked with three men whom he knew here. To all of them he stated he was going west to look for a position. Boner's haste in leaving his home town when his defalcation was discovered, is shown by the fact that he had no suitcase or baggage with him here. The local police have abandoned the search for the defaulting sheriff. Late this afternoon Mrs. Boner made a visit to this city and called upon Chief of Police Gormon. Sho was in search of information regarding her husband. Mrs. Boner stated that the defalcations of the sheriff 'would be paid by the bondsmen, and that no prosecution would be made If her hnsband returned.
