Property at Enid.

Mr.. e. d. kammerer, a former WIGHT
tan, who was on his way through Okla
homa had a fine team of mules stolen at
Enid. The mules were hitched to his
wagon and were taken during the night.
Regarding the matter the Enid Wave has
the following.
An organized band Of horse, wagon and
harness thieves are now operating in the
territory. Nearly every day word is re-
ceived Of some theft they have made.
Sometimes it Is one horse and sometimes
two; at others it is sets Of harness and
wagons.
Last night two fine mules belonging to
Mr. A. D. Kammerer were stolen in shis
city. Mr. Kammerer is lately from
Wichita, but was on MS way to the new
country, and had camped in the city over
night He embarrassed his mules and
left them hitched to his wagon. while Re
went TO get supper; when he returned in
about twenty minutes his mules were
gone. He notified the authorities and be-
San securing the country. but could find
no trace Of them. They could have dis

earth swallowed them.
It seems strange that some OF the
horses which have been stolen lately are
not found The territory has an anti
horse thief association. United States

horse IS stolen he never sees il again.

HE is AGAINST THEM
Dr. Shuts Says ChiIdren's
Parties Should End.
1T is THE TIME OF YEAR
When Diseases of Children
Are Scattered.

The approach Of winter brings on
thoughts of contagious chndren's diseases
which are usually prevalent during this
time Of the year and more than one
mother and father have thought about
the safety Of their children. This is the
season Of children's parties and Of gath
erings where diseases might be transmit
ted in a manner in which people are not
aware Of Wichita has never had a very
serious time with contagious diseases.
neither DO her people want anything Of
that nature
DR.. Shuts. who is at the head Of the
Board Of Health in this city, yesterday
said to a reporter Of the Eagle This
thing Of having children's parties around
in the city during the winter months is
something which should be prevented
This is one Of the most common methods
whereby childrens disease. which are un-
USUALLY prevalent at this time Of the ear,
are scattered throughout the city.
The children congregate at parties and
in the majority of cases play kissing
games and this is a dangerous thing at
this time Of the year. I am sure that il
had little children, 1 would not care to
have them attend parties as other peo-
Pies children do.
This is the time that all people In the
city should cooperate with the city Of
icers and the board of health in keeping
down disease. I would not advocate the
closing Of schools by any means unless
disease Of some sort should reach a ser
io7ls stage, for the reason that the child
rem Of a neighborhood wiuld get together
anyway whether school was in session or
not. The teacher is in a position to
know who has been exposed and who Of
the children are i'll. AS a matter of fact.
it seems TO me that a school should be
run seven days in week when a matter
Of disease is concerned but of course
this viii not be done
Wichita has never had very serious
time with contagious diseases. Some
time in the future she Will have some
thing of this kind if people are not more
careful The youth of Wichita are Of
sturdy race and they should be, but /
wish that the mothers and fathers could
understand about the Importance of the
party question.
Right now is the time OF year that
little folks want to entertain. and they
do 1t, too Just the other night there was
a number Of parties and it might have
been that some of those children had
symptoms Of disease but not in advanced
form. You can readily see what would
be the result. Every child at That partc-
uiar place would have been exposed to
the disease.
1T VIII take the cooperation Of the
citizens Of the city and county in this
matter to keep the city entirely clear Of
disease
The Board Of Health is willing to do
all it can and wants the help Of Wiohita's
citizens"
