THE com sWlNDLE.
A New Game That is Being Worked i'm
Indiana.

NoBLEsvu.LE, Ind, Feb. 9 A new
swindle is being successfully worked
here and all over Indiana. A man puts
in an appearance in a town or village,
seeks out the proprietor Of store, and
informs him that he is searching for
rare coin, giving him a list of the
specimens marked with their alleged
values. He also asks the proprietor to
keep an eye open and get hold of all
rare specimens possible and keep them
for him. Soon another party strolls
around, buys cigar or some other
article, and exhibits a couple of coins
with the remark that they are pocket
prices. On consulting his list the pro-
prietor finds their value is marked $40
each. There is a chance for specula-
tion, and after some bargaining the
second party sells the coin. OF course
number one never shows up, and the pro-
prietor is left with coins worth no more
than their face value.

New York, July 19.-The present re-
forced by enough facts to give ground
for serious apprehension. Apparently
authentic reports indicate that the
dreadful disease has travelled far from
it's home in the reeking towns of Asia.
1t has progressed up the Volga, taken
Moscow and several other Russian cities
and entered the environs of Paris.
With this beginning there is no accurate
predicting what may be the end. A
very little encouragement in the way of
efficient quarantine and poor sanitation
is enough to send the plague throughout
Europe. There is some doubt as to
whether the cases reported near Paris
are cases of true Asiatic cholera or of the
much less fearful malady cholera nostrus.
authorities of France or for the quaran-
tine officers on our own seacoast to de-
fer to doubt. The most careful yigi-
lance is demanded of the health officials
in every American city. Even the very
remote contingency of the plague max
ing visit to this city, Chicago, or far
sher west, should inspire the. local au-
therities to additional efforts in cleaning
the alleys and sewers, burning the gar
bage and enforcing municipal cleanh-
ness. There are other precautions to be
observed by individual citizens on their
own behalf, but Invariably the first of
these is that relating to sanitary condi
tions and the traditional rules for keep
ing in good physical trim. Further,
there Is, of course, the trite paradoxical
precaution of preparing against cholera
by refusing to think of it with appre-
hension. There is certainly no rational
cause at present for a scare. Live care
fully, eat regularly, boil your drinking
water and trust to the good fortune that
has shooed away many scares without
giving them any foundation. A careful,
courageous watchfulness as to health Is
one thing; a blindfea is another. What
good one may do may be fairly nullified
by the other.
