Parser's drug store. All Cases Relieved and None Further Developing. The smallpox scare at Argos is now completely a matter of history. Saturday morning the Vance fami ly was relieved from quarantine and as was announced last week the Helsel family has now been out over ten days. Ollie Vance, who was the last to recover has beeu past the dangerous and contagious period for some time, although the quarantine was held until Saturday, but only as a matter of extreme caution.

At no time was there auv fear of fatalities from the disease for it was of the very mildest form known aud those afflicted suffered but very little as a direct result from it. NO FORESTRY DISPLAY Indiana Will not Try to Make an Exhibit of its Hard Woods. Indiana probably will not make a forestry display at the St. Louis Exposition. Secretary Ereeman of the State board of forestry, who first suggested that a display be made in this department, has about concluded that it will be best to let the matter drop.

Mr Freeman's plan was to make a display of the hard woods of the state showing the finished product. This idea did not meet the approval of the fair commissioners, however. who felt that it would be a waste of money that might be more profit ably spent. Indiana hard woods have always taken a high rauk, but, as the supply is practically exhausted, members of the commission thought it unwise to make any great display of tu -i-vdustry which has necessarily flourished more in the past than at present. It would have pleased most of the commissioners to make a display of the work now being done at the new forestry reserve in Clark county, but Secretary Freeman says that not enough has been accomplished to make a creditable display that would rauk with states which have given much longer time to the work.

It is probable that a display of Indiana woods will be made in the manufacturers building with the exhibits of Indiaua wares, but no special display will be made if the present plans are adhered to. Another Case of Smallpox at Culver Dr. Parker, of Culver, was in this city Saturday and reported another case of smallpox in the Louden family on the north side of the lake. A younger sister of the young lady who took the disease while employed in the family of D. E.

Snyder, has broken down with the disease. Plymouth Independent. W. C. T.

21 vroa. LNt. ret. I Manager Cleary and bis Fort Wayne Shamrocks returned to their homes Sunday night, after a brief visit to Argos, under severe mental strains. They were, irritable and sore, and disposed to say uukind things about everybody and everything and all because they bad Wen shutout by the Argos Grays, score 5 to 0.

They blamed the town, the people, the sun. the moon, the woods, the umpire, the box cars, the managers of the Grays, and everybody else who bad nothing to do with defeating them. They art bard Josrs. They only got one man past, 1st base in the whole game. They made 8 errors.

We didn't make any. We hit when hits meant runs. We kept our head and they went up iu a balloon, and that's why we won. Hut Ihey wont admit it. "Nannie" Huant pitched for us and earned his money, lb let them down with three scattered hits.

He nut 'em over like pea, ami only let. one man bit to the out Held. "Nannie" is a peach. The great ascension was made iu the fourth, when we got a two bagger (Ream), two singles, a base on halls, and the visitors helped along some by making three bad errors. They were sailing above the clouds for a while, boys, and then's when we won the game.

The bases got over-stocked with runners, and then came "Nannie" with a cleaning up sale which disposed of all the surplus stoek. The ball went to the center Held fence. Then's when the kickiug began. fhe Shamrocks are good fellows ill they begin to lose, then oh horrors, such kickers. Kick, kick, kick.

They kicked on everything. They kicked when our fellows caught the ball. They kicked when we didn't catch it. They kicked all the time. They kicked while eat ing supper.

They kicked after supper. They were still kicking when we bid them a tearful good bye, and we suppose they are kick ing yet. They said they would cut Argos off the list. They said the umpire was a robber, but any one who knows the game can tell from the tabulated score that no umpire can steal such a game Henry Myers, of Rochester, was the umpire, and gave both sides a square deal.
