Dr. Hurry, secretary of the State Board
of Health, went to Shelby county yesterday
TO investigate an eruptive disease that has

its resemblance in some particulars to

technically known impetigo contagiosa.
1t is very contagious but never fatal. 1t
prevails among people who are not very
cleanly in their mode of life and who are
poorly nourished.

ACTION OF MERCHANTS
THE ASSOCIATION PETITIONS THE
BOARD OF WORKS.
They Want the Business Street,
Cleaned and Flushed-Other
Municipal Affairs.

The Indianapolis Merchants Association.
following up the suggestion which was
made by some of it's members to the Board
of Works the other day with reference to
keeping the downtown streets in better
sanitary condition, yesterday presented to
the Board of Works the following memorial
on the subject:
"At a recent meeting of the Merchants
Association a committee was appointed to
ascertain what methods could be employed
to bring the downtown business center TO
more perfect sanitary and clean condi-
ton. The most natural solution was TO ask
you gentlemen, who represent the people,
interests in this board, to join with and
help solve this problem. The merchants in
the downtown districts annually entail Sc
we're losses, particularly during the dry sea-
son. by the dirt and dust that is blown In
their stores, which ruins the stock OF mer-
chandise, and as year by year stocks be-
come more valuable, this loss becomes
greater and more important until now IL is
deemed absolutely necessary that radical
means to rectify this severe loss should be
employed. Therefore, this association,
through. its committee, prays you that an
organized and uniformed brigade, thor
oughly equipped be formed using as pat
tern the general plan and scope, with para.
phernalia, that is used on Broadway or
New York city, which is probably the best
kept street in this country. the territory
that we ask to be covered is from East
street to West street and from Ohio street
TO Georgia street. In conjunction with this
we request that these streets be flushed
from two TO three times a week during the
dry season so thoroughly as to keep them
in perfect sanitary condition. 1t is the
opinion of the Merchants Association that
wha tever expense the city might have in
this matter would come back many fold to
its business men in the advertising that
this would give the city.
Representing. we do. the largest mer-
camille interests of this city. we would ask
that this matter be given your earnest and
prompt attention, coming quickly to deci-
sion that will attain this end"

MR.. REMY REPLIES.
He Claims that His once Has Been
Unjustly Criticised.

Charles F. Remy, reporter of the Supreme
and Appellate courts, feels that he has
been unjustly treated by an anonymous
correspondent of an afternoon paper. who
complained that the reports of the higher
courts are not published frequently enough
Yesterday MIR. Remy called attention to the
fact that the secretary of state has about
finished the work OF distributing Volume
l55 of the Supreme Court Reports and that
this volume brings the reporting up 10
Jan. l. 1901. In addition to the regular de-
cIsions the volume contains the action of
the court on petitions for rehearing up to
March of the present year. Mr.. Remy
also stated that the twenty-fifth volume of
Appellate Court Reports. which will bring
the work of that tribunal up to January of
this year, is now in the hands of the
printer There will not be sufficient ma
tcrial to form a new volume of the Supreme
Court Reports until about the LIST of Sep
tember II cannot very well manufacture
decisions to form volume, said Mr
Remy.

JOURNEYMEN PLUMBERS MEET
They Decide to Maintain Their Posi-.
ton Firmly-Other Matters.

The Journeymen Plumbers Union held a
lengthy session last night and the MEM
bers decided to stand firm in their position
of refusing TO work with helpers. The
plumbing of the city is practically tied up.
the only firms working being J. c. Dunn
and Kirkhoff Brothers. These firms, the
union says, will be unionized and it is said
that the plumbers employed by Kirkhoff
Brothers have already consented to join
the union. How long the strike will last
cannot be stated the master plumbers
have announced that all plumbers must go
TO work with helpers.
The association says no concessions will
be made and the union takes the same
arbitrary stand. The union says the re-
fusal TO work with apprentices is only
following a precedent set in other cities
and that ii has the national organization
back of it in its demands. The men refused
to go to work yesterday morning when
ordered to be accompanied by helpers The
union men say they will stay out until
their demands are granted and the assoc
citation says they never will be.
