A Great Invention.

1t has been the aim of inventors for
years TO find some device for keeping cold,
SCOT and dust out of the house. The dam
age to curtains, draperies, etc, by SCOT and
dirt coming into the house is something
almost beyond computation. Cold drafts
from windows and doors go hand in hand
with pneumonia. Tight windows and doors
saves many doctor bills. Fresh air is all
right if you can control IL. The mi
lin Metal Weather Strip is one OF the great
inventions of this age. BY its use your win
dows are made perfectly tight. cold and
dust is excluded and your fuel bill will
shrink perceptibly. Can you lay out money
on your house to any better advantage. IL
you have a home why not be comfortable
in 1t? Life is short enough at best, enjoy
IL while you can. Do not make the error OF
buying cheap and inferior strips that will
soon wear out when you can get the Cham
berlin that will last as long as the build
ing stands and guaranteed To give satisfac-
ton. The 1900 windows that We have
equipped in Indianapolis bear witness TO
every claim we make for the Chamberlin
strip. Estimates furnished on application.
Now is the time TO nave your work done.
We employ none but expert reliable work
men and We guarantee satisfaction I'm every
case. Office, 632 Newton Claypool Building.

NOT DUE TO VACCINATION
TWO DEATHS AT LAFAYETTE INVES-
TIGATED BY HEALTH BOARD.
Secretary Hurry Visits n Smallpox In
fected Locality i'm Benton County
Reports for October.

The State Board Of Health, after an in
vestigation of the two deaths from ockjaw
at Lafayette recently, announces that it was
not vaccination that caused the fatal at
tacks. In both cases the victims were chill
dren. Although they lived in the same
neighborhood they were not companions.
The board in making an announcement in
regard to these deaths asserts that
neither the doctors who attended them
nor the parents of the children believe that
vaccination caused the lockjaw."
1t is maintained that the germs OF
tetanus must get into the blood by means
of a scratch or a wound and the board
admits that the germs might have gone
through the wounds made by vaccination.
but 1T is insisted that there was no tetanus
in the virus used In vaccination, as 1t was
made by firms under the direction of the
United States government and had been
properly tested. 1t is further maintained
that the period of incubation of the germ
that causes lockjaw is nine days and in
these two fatal cases the disease did not
develop until twenty-one days after the
vaccination.
Secretary Hurry, of the State Board of
Health, yesterday visited a locality infected
with smallpox in Benton county in the
neighborhood of Templeton. He found
thirty-four cases of the disease. The local
physicians had commended that ii was
chicken pox. One or two cases were found
TO be serious. The State board fears the
reports that were circulated in regard to
the two cases OF lockjaw at Lafayette will
have a tendency to increase smallpox, as
many people have feared to be vaccinated
after reading of the Lafayette cases. Tbs
board found that people living in the To-
cality where these children were afflicted
with locktaw still stand in terror Of vac
cination and 1T will take some time to over
come this prejudice. While the board is not
fearful Of an unusual epidemic of smallpox
this winter it is deemed wise to take every
precaution. Reports show that during Octo.
Der of this year there were 100 more cases
of smallpox than in October, 1902. How
ever, there was only one death from the
disease In this State this October, while In
October. 1902, there were twelve deaths. Re.
ports further show that more counties have
been invaded by the disease this winter
than last. In October of this year sixty-twC
counties had smallpox and last October
only forty-one counties were infected.

THREE SETS SELECTED TO JUDGE

ISOLATION Meet-Contest Will BE
Held i'm TomIfnson Hall.

The board Of the Indiana State Oratorical
Association met at the Denison Hotel Fri
day afternoon and selected the first, second
and third set of manuscript judges for the
State contest that will be held here Feb.
5. All the members of the board were
present.
At its first meeting three weeks ago the
board instructed each delegate to send the
names of six desirable men to the corre-
spending secretary, who was then to make
out a complete list and send it back to each
college. The meeting Friday chose nine
from these names to constitute the first
draft of judges on manuscript.
OF the six men put up by Earlham, the
board accepted two for the first set and
two for the third, giving her a greater rep
resentation of men from her list than any
other college in the association DIR. Panni's
list was practically made UP OF preachers
and of theological professors. The board
objected to every one presented by her
delegate.
The first set of judges is composed OF
Prof. George p. Baker. Harvard, Prof. T.
N. Scott. Michigan University. and Prof.
Ben 1. Wheeler, of the University of Cali
fornia. The second list comprises the fol-
Al OAACo 0AA1a LII ldll jill
ly; Prof. W.. S. Cross. Yale: Prof. George
b. Carpenter, Colorado University. The
third list is composed OF Lorenzo Sears,
Brown University, Robert Henrick. Univer-
sity of California, and Ralph -. Ringwalt,
of Columbia.
The board secured Tomlinson Hall for
the contest. Music will be furnished by
some of the musical organizations of the
colleges.
The board discussed the ACCESSIBILITY of
changing the present method of manuscript
and delivery judges and of substituting in
their place one set who should grade on
both. This plan has been advocated for
some time and has the support of the ma
jority of the board. 1t will be presented to
the convention next February.
The board is composed of the following
delegates: President, a. II. Van Mugs, Wa
bash: vice president. Charles +. McElroy,
Butler; recording secretary. John T. Van
SAINT, De PAW; interstate delegate, Luther
NJ. Feeger, Earlham; treasurer, Thomas ID,

NO DELAY IN WORK.
shopmen Take the Place of the Wash
fngton-street Bridge trfkers

Only one day was lost by the Brown
Ketcham Company on account OF the strike
of the structural iron worker employed
on the West Washington-street bridge over
White river. Yesterday morning the work
on the bridge was resumed, the places Of
the member OF the International Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers being taken by shop men from the iron
works. The strikers did not make any at
tempt TO modest the men and the work is
now proceeding as formerly.
The members of the international Asso-
citation of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers walked out on strike Friday morning In
compliance with orders from headquarters
in New York. TIL strike was ordered by
President Buchanan INC the order was sent
to all members of the association employed
by the Iron League. The issue grew out of
the refusal of the Employers Association of
New York city to recognize one of the local
unions in that city. 1t is stated by men,
bers of the local union of this city that the
strike is the result of the failure of the
Brown-Ketcham Company to employ none
but union men on the bridge work and that
the men on that job are the only ones af-
fected. However, statements in various
labor papers OF the country say that Pres
ident Buchanan called the strike in order
TO have the New York local reinstated in
the good will of the employers.

Fireman Jumped and Was Killed.

Fred Borcherbing. of 1921 Williams street,
was instantly killed yesterday morning by
jumping from an 1. & v. engine on which he
was fireman near Switz City. Ind. Borcher-
bling became greatly excited when the en-
gineer told him that the engine refused to
work and as they were pulling a heavy
freight train Borcherbing thought II best
for him to jump. They were just crossing
n high trestlework over a small stream and
as Borcherbing jumped his head struck the
edge OF the trestlework, which perhaps
killed him.
An examination showed that besides a
fractured arm and leg his skull had also
been fractured. The engineer stuck to his
post and after running a few miles finally
gained control of the engine.
