ACTON PARK TRUSTEES
MEETING HELD TO ARRANGE FOR
THIS YEARS ASSEMBLY.
ShelbyviIle Trolley Line Is Considered
a Boon by the Park Managerial
Hint to COttagers.

One of the first announcements of sum-
mer openings was made last night by the
trustees of Acton Park Assembly when
they decided upon May q as the day for
opening the park for the summer. The
women of the churches identified with the
park management will have charge of the
opening services and festivities and will
call the opening day May day and observe
it with programme of music and speeches.
The cottages will be available for occu-
pancy on that day and already many Of
them have been rented for the summer.
Lewis G. Akin. of this city. has charge of
the renting of the cottages and he warns
all persons who contemplate a summer
home in the park to make early applica-
ton for cottages.
The trustees of the park. L. G.. Akin,
H. A. Wheeler, A. ]. Simpson. d. A. Rob-
ertson and j. w. Dashiell, met last night
and planned several improvements for the
park. New walks will be laid and the old
ones Strengthened and leveled, the trees
will be rid of much superfluous foliage and
benches and other park furniture will be
purchased. The buildings in the park will
be overhauled and the cottages decorated
and painted and made attractive for their
summer occupants. The trustees have con-
Guided that the management of the hotel
by the contractors who have secured the
privilege in the past has been unsatisfac-
tory In many ways and have decided to
place the hotel in the hands OF the women
of the association. The new management
will begin work Immediately in refurnish-
ing the house and making IT more conven-
lent in its appointments.
The trustees are working on the pro-
n1 m
ice and have invited many ministers to
preach on different dates. Several attrac-
tons are under consideration that would
take many people to the park. The new
Shelbyville trolley road runs through Acton,
and with the increased transportation fa-
cilities the trustees think the season will
be successful one Many residents of In
dianapolis have signifed their intention of
moving to Acton during the summer
months. as they can live there and get
back and forth from Indianapolis with lit
tie more delay than in going from their
homes in the residence portions of the city.
The management Of the grounds during
the year will be under the supervision of
Mr.. Akin, while Joseph Sutherland will be
the custodian Of the property. Sutherland
is the successor of Captain Brenton.

CHICKENPOx AT FoRTY.TWo.


A man considerably past middle age
picked his way with care through the
numerous stenographers in the Office of
the State Board of Health yesterday and
penetrated to the sanctum Of Dr. J. NJ
Hurry, secretary of the board. There was
nothing particularly noticeable about the
individual save that his face was broken
out with angry looking red blotches, and
that he had tired, woebegone look.
Are you the smallpox expert?' he asked
when the secretary of the board looked up
from his statistics.
II am said DR.. Hurry. with longing
glances at the delightful rows of figures
anent tuberculosis. hog cholera, cancer. ETC.,
to which he had given absorbed attention.

fact way, II think / have got a case of
smallpox. 1 would like you to examine
.Eh?' said the startled secretary.
whats that you say? Smallpox"
That's my unbiased opinion" replied the
man conposedly.
With warning words to the bevy of type
writer-pounders in the anteroom, the secre-
tary closed all the doors, shut all the win
dows and gathered together several pounds
of cotton and several pints of serum. He
had the mans coat. vest and shirt off in the
twinkling of an eye. With enthusiasm he
examined him. A shadow Of disappointment
crept into his eye.
"Why, you have not got smallpox" he
said. You have nice little case OF
chickenpox. Just the sort of thing that a
child of ten has every day or So"
The name of the visitor was Carl Hol-
lowell a laborer, who lives in this city. He
is forty-two years of age and DR.. Hurry
says he is the oldest person on record to be
troubled with chickenpox. DR.. Brayton was
telephoned for and came a-runnng. The
case hal some pretty points for him. 1t was
discussed at length in DR.. Hurty's office
and all possible contingencies were gone
into at length. The consensus of opinion
was that IL was indeed remarkable case

According 10 the Anthony Republican,
little woman of Anthony taught the county
attorney some things not dreamed of in
his philosophy. Her husband had been
sent to Jail for beating her. She went to
the county attorney and asked him if
there was no way in which the man could
be liberated. There are just two ways
in which you can get your husband ont
of JAIL" said the official. "One is TO pay
his fine and costs. and the other Is to get
the county commissioners to liberate him
rs there no other possible way?" meekly
inquired the little woman. "None what
ever. somewhat pompously replied the
official. And then the little woman went
away and showed him. She purchased at
a hardware store some saws and other
implements. In the Silly watches OF the
night she went TO the jail and sawed and
pried OF enough bars to give her husband
freedom. And since then neither of them
has been seen or heard from.
