1t Was Not Small-Pox

Shlpshewana Tribune: Why is it
that when story is told the second
time IT has little semblsnce TO the real
truth. The story is out that a number
Of Shipshewansites have been taken
down with small pox. The parties are
even named in the stories, yet not a
single soul here has any idea of taking
that dread disease. People here only
laugh at the two old fossils at Lagrange,
who diagnosed the case of III. A. Yoder
as varaloid.

Regarding the smallpox cases in the

Secretary Hurty of the state BOARD of
health, was urged by telegraph to 90
immediately to three different places
yesterday where smallpox had broken
out. The kilograms were sent by the

Harrison counties. Secretary Hurty
replied that he could not make a per

officers instructions as to quarantine
and other methods of heading the
spread of the disease. Rockport has
live cases, Lagrange county one and

Two Women Create Great Excitement.
Warsaw, June 14.-Wsrsaw was all
excitement yesterday morning at 10
o'clock, when Sheriff Matthew's deputies
Messrs Ripple and Tuley, drove up In
diana street to the jsi! Mrs. John Lane
and daughter in carriage, screaming
at the top of their voices The women
for two years past have refused to give
possession of property sold for taxes
Jackson Glessner, retail shoe mer-
chants, purchased a tax title on the
property some years ago, amounting to
$500 or $780, Glessner offered the
women the property back for 6 per
cent on money invested, or TO give them
$500 In cash to vscate, all of which was
refused. Mrs. Lane threatened the
judge who ordered the sheriff to take
possession of the property; also the life
of Glessner. She always locked herself
in the house when an officer approach
ed to serve legal notice. Today an en-
trance was effected by breaking in a
door. But little sympathy is extended
to the women.

NEWFOUNDLAND CARIBOU.
Animals Are SO Plenty There the
Shooting License Has
Been Reduced

The Newfoundland legislature has
just passed an act which will be hailed
with satisfaction by American sports
men. BY it the hunting grounds of
the island will be thrown open to men
of moderate means and limited holiday
time. Heretofore the fee eXaeted by
the colonial authorities for permission
to shoot caribou has been 500 for seven
head-fve stays and two does. For this
there has been substituted q graded Ii
cense, as follows: For $40 q license is
granted, good for one month, permit
ting the holder to kill two stays and one
doe; for $50 the number is increased to
three stays and one doe, and the period
is extended to six weeks; while for $50
TWO months license is obtainable, with
the right to kill five stays and two does.
The deer-stalking season opens on
July IS and continues until October I
when there is an interval of 20 days.
Shootng is resumed on October 20 and
continues until February 1, from which
time until the middle of July a close
season is observed. The caribou are
TO be found in the vast tracts of in
terror forest and the uplands known
as "barrens," untroddan eXcept by the
occasional hunter. The deer are in
countless herds, and those in the col
ohy who have most closely observed
their habits say that with proper safe
guards against wanton killing there is
no reason why they should not con-
llnue 10 provide the finest sport for
the hunters of Europe and America
when every other accessible hunting
ground has been depleted. 1t must be
remembered that the 100000 people
who lnhabit Newfoundland live round
its coastline and that three miles from
high water mark there is not settIe<
ment. The rest of the $4,000 square
miles of the island is given up to the
wild animals, which include bears,
wolves, foxes, lynx, caribou and l1ares.
The best time for American sports
men to visit the island is the month of
September. The best route is that by
rail- to North Sydney, Cape Breton,
where the steamer Bruce is taken across
the 90 miles of water separating this
island from the continent. Landing at
Port-auX-Basques in five or six hours,
the hunter boards a train, and q run of
12 hours places him in the midst of
the deer country. At Bay of Islands,
about two-thirds of the way, guides,
canoes and all the other accessories to
a successful hunting trip can be OBJ
tanned.
September is the best month to visit
the island, because then the sportsman
can vary his caribou hunting with other
sport, such as angling for trout or SAL
mon. No fee is eXacted by the colony
for any form of sport except deer hunt
ing; the trout and salmon rivers are
free to all, and the game birds can be
shot by any person possessing the
requisite fowling piece. The guides en-
gagged for caribou shooting are equally
available for the angling and bird
shooting. A visitor, therefore, with the
leisure and equipment can claim his
fill of enjoyment there within q month.

THE Discomfort in CUBA.

nEPORTS from Cuba are by no means reassur-
~ ing and it now looks as if serious disturbances
may yet occur there. The so-caled patriots
and they deserve that title about we'll any other,
have shown decided unwilngness to surrender their
arms even when advised to do so by their commander
Gomez and when offered by the United States
$3,oooooo
Dispatches of Saturday from Havana state that
while disbursing officer in that province has on
his list the of 43I7 Cuban soldiers entitled to
receive their share of the 100000, less than eleven
applied for the money on the day the d1sbursing
office opened and he is quoted having said it is
doubtful if fifty of them do So Fifty is but small
number of good Cubans out of over 1000, and the
outlook is omnous.
The opposition of the rank and file of the Cuban
army to surrendering their is probably due to
variety OF causes of which patriotism is only one and
perhaps not the most potent When men have been
for years living kind OF guerrilla life in mild eli
mate where it is no hardship to sleep out of doors
and go without food occasions they come at last
to like the life, feel attachment for their rifles
and their knives they like their companonshlp, and
naturally hesitate to surrender to power almost
known to them, which begins by taking from them
their arms and then disbands them. The amount of
money which each will receive of the 100000
is not very large even to Cuban, and the entice-
ments OF con moreover, are not great tropical
people as some persons in the temperate zone i'm
agne.
There is another factor in the problem which merits
consideration. If reports from Havana be correct our
military administration there has not been the wisest
in the world 1t appears to have been undertaken in
the spirit OF REFORM which is commendabe, but has
been carried out in the of United States
formers, and that doesn't suit Cuba. When people
have been accustomed all their lives to certain forms
change suddenly and by military force, if the life
be to some extent vicious.
The enforcement OF Sunday laws, for example such
the closing Of all business houses and the prohib
ton OF public games and entertainments that day;
the abrupt suppression of the gambling rooms which
for years have been places of popular the pro-
hib;tion against smoking in streetcars and forbidding
any appear the streets in undershirts,
among the reforms that might have been left for edu
cation to accomplish 1t is doubtful if even Washing
ton City or Boston would like such laws enforced by
soldiers.
AS matter OF fact, some of the military regulations
appear like petty tyranny and not for the
ports OF them given in many of the Eastern
changes OF known accuracy it would be difficult to
accept them as true They hardly be other than
irritating The Cubans have morality and manners
and the reform regulations reported to have been
proclaimed there are likely either to improve the
people or pacify them. 1t is, therefore, not wholly
strange that the patriots prefer to keep their and
take to the woods.
