PARALYSIS OUTLOOK BRIGHT Two Cases Already Reported Seem to be Getting Along Nicely. The officials of the city are optim- Istic about the outlaok of the infantile paralysis situation within the city limits. The two cases that have been reported to the health officer are get- ting along well, and it is thought that both of the children will recover. The case of Robert Hornberger, vhich was reported to the authorities on Sun- day night, showed*some improvement on Tuesday morning, according to the attending physician, whe left on his vacation yesterday. It ®was learned that the child has no paralysis in his limbs, as was first thought, and the arm that is affected by the disease seems to show improvement. Yesterday afternoon Mayor accompanied by Health Officer Jen- kins, posted notices on all of the highways leading into the city, to the effect that mo children under sixteen years of age would be allowad to enter the city.

Late Monday night the home of J. M. Small, situated Jjust outside of the city line on the Coventry road in the town of Mansfield, was Jroken into, and a small bank, which con- tained eight dollars in change, and a pearl handled revolver are missing, as the result. Arthur Small, the son of J. M. Small, who returned to his home at 11:25, was the first to know of the break. Upon entering the house and hearing a noise he became suspicious, but continued up the stairs to his bedroom which he found had been completely ransacked and burnt matches strewn about the floor. He made an investigation and found that the room that is generally occupied by his father had received the same treatment. After going to the home of Alderman C. M. Holbrook and tel- ephoning to the police, who could do nothing in the matter as it was out- side of their jurisdiction, he came in- to this city to get assistance. A number of young men were se- cured who returned to the house with Mr. Small and the house together with the premises were given a thorough search, but to no avail. It was found that entrance to the house had been made through the dining room window by removing a screen. A step ladder was used to enable the thieves to reach the window. It was later found out that men who had done the worls had left by the back door. OBITUARY. Hugh E. Todd. The death of Hugh E.
