To all health officers and the people of Indiana. On account of the present flood conditions throughout the state, the necessity of boiling the water used for drinkig purposes is most urgent. This applies to all public water supplies and to all wells. Health officers are requested to urge to use their utmost endeavor to impress upon the people of their communitittes the importance of this precaution. Boil all water used for drinking. No matter what its source, not only while present flood conditions exist but afterwards and until assured the water supply is safe. A wide spread epidemic of typhoid feaver and diarrheal diseases is sure to follow in the wake of the flood unless this precaution is strictly observed. W. L. Hines, M. D. Ca Health Commissioner.

smeust hill | KSMH6 The “Wets” Os Turkey Creek Township Win By A Majority Os Seven The “wet and dry" election held in Syracuse, Tuesday, for Turkey Creek Township passed off in a very quiet manner. The result was in doubt until the official count was made known at a little after seven o’clock. The streets throughout the day held a larger number of people than is usual but withal it was a very orderly crowd. The “wets” seemed confident at all times white the “dry” element lost hope late in the afternoon and in the main consceded defeat before the polls closed. The Ist and 3rd precincts stayed in the anti-saloon column, but with reduced majorities. The 2nd pre cinct showed exceedingly damp, probably owing to the high water in the “race." The official vote by precincts is as follows: FIRST PRECINCT Dry... -j. 8o Wet 71 Dry majority 09 SECOND PRECINCT Dry 76 Wet... ...116 Wet majority 40 THIRD PRECINCT Dry .1 : .... 117 Wet -.i... 93 Dry majority...... 24 AGGREGATE VOTE Dry ■....' 273 Wet... ... 280 Wet majority 7 This is the third local option elec tion held in Syracuse. Four years ago the county voted “dry” giving a majority of 2;300. Two years ago -j _ _» ♦ 33 Eight and six years ago a remonstrance was used to oust the saloons. In conversation with one of the temperance leaders we were informed that they would abide by the majority rule and qj the present at least no remonstrance will be circulated. Horrors Os The Flood. Mrs. Xantha Fullmer, who visited Mrs. A. T. Schmerda a short time ago, and her mother, Mrs. L. W. Welker, returned to Kendallville from Tiffiin, Ohio, where they witnessed some of the awful devastatation wrought by the floods. “We were driven from Mrs. Fullmer’s house” said Mrs. Welker, “and taken to the Hotel Shaan, where we stayed for several days without light, heat, water, and with little to eat. We stood by the window in the fifth story and saw horrible scenes. A cemetery had washed away and we saw the coffins float by; we saw 64 bodies of persons float down the river, they had been drowned, and we saw so much more that it makes me shudder to think about it.” ——■ Obituary.

Just Two Saloons hie county commissioners will issue only two licenses for saloons in Turkey Creek township. This information was telegraphed us by Otis Butt, who was in Warsaw Wednesday. It is highly probable that one license will go to B. F. Holton, who will conduct a saloon in ti e McClintic building on Hur ingtea street. The logical place for the other license would be some where on the lake Just who will Secure it is a question as we believe several will make application. « j Foundry Starts. - t , u; Fire was built in the cupola at the foundry, Tuesday, and flames could be seen shooting from the chimney, Tuesday night. —New stamped goods at Brainards.
