NOW ENROLLED.
Supt. Mathis Is Kept Busily
Engaged.
HUNDREDS CAME TO REGISTER
Such Was the Rush That Many Could
Not Be Attended to and viii Come
Back Today-SchooI Will Open on
Monday Morning.

Evidently the people OF Americus
are not at all afraid to risk their money
for book rental fees with the Board of
Education, pending the present litiga-
tlon," said Supt. J. E, Mathis yester
day afternoon, while discussing the
registration of pupils.
This remark was based upon the
rush to register yesterday.
It was Supt. Mathis ''busy day"
the busiest since the registration of
pupils began, and fully 175 names
were added to the 125 that had regis
tered for school already.
Three hundred pupils, Supt. Mathis
said yesterday, have already registered
at Rees Park and Furlow School, and
this number Will be swelled considera-
bly, today, Such was the rush to reg
lister yesterday that many pupils could
not be waited upon.
These, with many others, will come
back today, as Supt. Mathis will be in
his2office ali day to issue cards of al
mission.
Of the three hundred white pupils,
and 1875 or $50 colored pupils that have
registered, every one paid the book
rental fee according to grade, and the
schools will reopen on Monday mex
with the largest attendance in severa
years it is believed.
The issue involved in the mandamuI
proceeding instituted will be heard OF
Monday.

IS CAUGHT MAPPING.
And Nappers Were Quick to Hunt For
Cover.

A snowstorm in JAY would have
caused little more surprise than did
the bit of a blizzard that dropped down
upon Americus yesterday, being as un-
expected as it was bIizzardy.
1t inspired the coal dealer and put
the iceman out of business.
And it likewise put the blue tag of
disapproYal upon the battered straw
hat, retired the neglige, and redeemed
the overcoat at the pawnshop.
And the daughter of the household
likewise got divorce from the shirt
waist, disconnected herself from the
Iowneck shoe and discarded the cool
habilaments of summer
While the old man cussed and hunt
ed for more cover.
1t was indeed chilling surprise, as
sudden as it was severe. But it will
not last, and we can soon don our dus-
tiers once more.

QUARANTINE RAISED.
Order Issued by State Health Board to
Mitchell Authorities.

The quarantine which the city of Mitchell
has maintained for some time has been
ordered raised by the State Board of Health.
The quarantine was declared against West
Baden and other towns to keep out small
pox. In ordering the quarantine abandoned
the State board informed the Mitchell au-
thorities that their action against certain
towns in southern Indiana would not keep
out the disease, since the infection is wide
spread. The quarantine would be only par
tial at best, admitting any person from
far-away towns where the disease exists
and against which the quarantine had not
been declared.
The State board advised the Mitchell au-
thorities 10 offer free vaccination, for all
unvaccinated persons are sure to get the
disease sooner or later if exposed to 1t. One
Of the most important reasons the State
board had in recommending that the quar-
antine be raised as the fact that at the
present time no smallpox exists at West
Baden and other towns named in the quar-
antine. The board reasoned that the quar-
antine served simply to impede m
and block travel.

hi power held in reserve may be a very
fortunate thing for the citizens In the near
future, since the failure of the natural
article has led to the more or less general
use OF artificial gas for cooking and heat
ing purposes.
The price charged in other cities of about
the same size as indianapolis for fuel gas
Is much smaller. Toledo citizens get fuel
gas for 20 cents a thousand. In Cincinnati
II Is furnished for 30 cents a thousand. In
Cleveland the price Is IS cents a thousand.
and in Louisville two companies furnish
fuel gas at so cents and 20 cents, respec-
lively. Indianapolis consumers pay 30 cents
a thousand at the present time, under a
compromise made with the Indianapolis
Gas Company during Taggart's admins
tration. Council passed an ordinance re-
ducing the price from 81. % TO 20 cents. The
company took the matter to the Federal
Court. and a compromise was agreed on by
which the company was to charge 81 until
the consumption should reach 100000
cubic feet. after that 80 cents, and after
go. 0O0,oo0 cubic feet, 80 cents. Many regard
these rates as excessive, feeling that In
d~ianapolis people should get their fuel gas
for at least 40 cents.

Judge WhalIOn Endorses Action of
Central Labor Union.

81 heartily indorse the recent action of the
Central Labor Union in condemning the
employment of girls as messengers by the
Western Union Telegraph Company said
Judge Whallon, of the Police Court. yester-
day afternoon. THE Merchants Associa-
ton should take action along the same line
and present the telegraph company with a
petition asking that it do away with the
employment of girls. In Cincinnati some
time ago girls were employed by the teie-
graph companies and the result was most
demoralizing. Girls should not be sent to
questionable places at all hours of night
where they are apr to be made the butt of
insults from drunken men and women and
they should not be allowed TO see the
tougher elements of a city like Indianapc-
lis. The place for a young girl is at home,
and the respectable element of a city should
frown upon any young woman being forced
out into the night alone and unprotected by
boys who are sturdy and strong. A parent
who allows a daughter to secure work
which Will necessitate her being out on the
streets at all hours of night and will COM
pei her to go into all kinds OF resorts and
dives. should not be allowed the care of
the girl and a guardian should be appointed.
The life OF a messenger boy Is known only
to those who have closely watched or been
associated with them and IL Is my opinion
that no woman I'm the world can withstand
the temptations placed in the way of one
compelled 10 go into The places a messen-
ger boy is sent I'm the ordinary run of his
duty. IL Will be the ruination OF the girls
IN the employ of the company, and as a citi-
zen / claim that the Western Union Tele-
graph Company has no right to place degree
dalton and dishonor at the feet of any
ment."
