"THE RAPIDS ARE BELOW YOU

But Hutton Gives Little Heed to the Admonition Wlien He Knows it is Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Kokomo News: Cards are out announcing the marriage of Miss Ida Eugenie Jackson and Mr. Milton Henry Hutton, which will take place at the home of the bride's cousins, Mr. and Mro. C. T. Waters, Grand Rapids, Mich Thursday evening, Dec. 15, at 8 o'clock. This bit of information explains Mr. Hutton's very reserved manner toward the gentler sex of our own fair representatives, whose pleasing and cordial manners have been received in an appreciative but matter-of-fact way His gallantry has never been questioned but that he was not susceptible to the coyness of the most charming, has, for some time, been a self evident fact. His duties as manager of the Western Union Telegraphing Company have possibly not been as ardvious as he claimed at times but afforded a splendid excuse.

Of the bride elect the News can say nothing as she will come to this city an entire stranger, and of Mr. Hutton it can only speak words of commendation. As manager of the Western Union Telegraph Co.'s office he is constantly brought in contact with the business men of the city who have always found him to be courteous, polite and obliging in all of hi6 dealings, and he is a young man of marked ability in his particular avocation. The News extends happy congratulations, and may the married life of this young couple be one of eternal sunshine. Mr. and Mrs. Hutton will be at home to their friends in this city after December twenty-fifth.

CAPITAL TWO MILLIONS.

T. H. & L, Files Articles of Incorporatiou.

At IndianapolisWednesday articles of incorporation of the Terre Haute and Logansport railroad were filed, and the corporators paid into the treasury of the Btate a cool 82,000 in fees. The capitalization of the new company is 82,000,000. In direct contradiction of J. T. Brooks' statement that he, as J. T. Brooks, private individual, and not as the second vice president of the Pennsylvania railroau company, purchased the road at Crawfordsville for 31,060,000, is the personnel of the board of directors, as shown in the articles. The members of the board are James McCrea, first vice president of the Pennsylvania company and president of the Vandalia line J. T. Brooks, second vice president of the Pennsylvania E. B. Taylor, general superintendent of transportation of the Pennsylvania L. L. Gilbert, assistant general counsel for the Pennsylvania, and S. C. Scott, still another officer of the big railroad corporation. The incorporation of the road does not mean, as intimated in an evening publication, that there will be any change in the operation of the property. Receiver Volney T. Malott will probably be allowed to continue in control of the road, as his administration of the railroad affairs is highly endorsed by the Pennsylvania officials It is also very improbable that there will be any change made in the present corps of division officers, as it is under their management that the division was pulled out of the iniro and placed on an earning basis for the first time in years.

STRONGLY COMMENDED.

2lnr»l Free Delivery Hits Proved Practical in Indiana.

The report of first assistant postmabter general Heath is out. The subject of a rural free delivery is given considerable attention in the report, and he republishes in full the following letter from Governor Mount, commending the operation of the service in Indians: "EXKCUTIVK DEPARTMKNT, STATIC OF INDIANA, INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 12, 1898.— My Dttar Mr. Heath:—I have just returned from my country home and hasten to bear testimony to the good results from rural free delivery of mail Many farmers are taking daily papers, which condition could not obtain if they were forced to go from one to six miles for their mail. The results will bo far reaching. Daily acoess to the market reports will be of financial advantage. The possibility of daily mail will give the isolated rural homes what they so much need —an opportunity to keep in touch with the world's progress. Rural delivery of mail is destined to benefit the farmers socially, intellectually and financially. As I passed along the rural route and saw metal boxes,-with 'U. S. M.' lettered on the same, I am frank to say the pride and interest I have always taken in rural advancement was greatly intensified by the scene. I talked with many farmers, and they said this much-needed recognition of the rights of the farmers was calculated to do more to stimulate home pride and to encourage the spirit of progress and contentment in rural life than any recent favors extended to the agricultural opulation. Farmers not on these delivery routes are interested in the experiment They say it is an effort to give to country people aright sacred to them. "In conclusion, and in behalf of the farmers, I desire to thank you for the effort in their behalf. "With kind regards and best wishes, yours truly, JAMES A. MOUNT, "Governor. "Hon. Perry S. Heath, first assistant postmaster general, Washington, D. C."

Mr. Heath reproduces letters from a number of people in Indiana to show how the service is regarded. These letters indorse the service and ask for its continuance.

A Wonderful Kh«»P«.

Dr. Bnbminger was called to Jamestown Wednesday to attend a man who was injured Jacob Johns Wednesday came walking out of the Jamestown poultry house and was so intent on brushing the feathers off his clothes he did not notice where he was going. He walked upon the Big Four tracks j'ist as a freight car switched from an engine canw scooting along Johns and the car made nice connection and Johns was thrown about twenty feet in the air He came down with a wonderful nicety and fell between the car and station platform, there being just room enougu to admit hin body lying lengthwise. He was taken out badly cut and bruised and Dr. Iinsmin^er found several broken bones, but nothing of a very n«riiu« character.

PART FIRST

DR. JONES' CASE.

The Osteopath Who Has Ileon Practicing Hero Arretted in Indmnaiiolia.

Dr.

n.

J. Jones, tho Indianapolis

osteopath, who made regular visits here until lately and who treated many partiessuccessfully, is up against the law. The Indianapolis Journal of Thursday Bay6:

This morning the state board of medical examination and registration will begin the prosecution of Dr. H. J. Jones, of this city, for practicing medicine in the state without being licensed. Dr, Jones' case will be an interesting one from the fact that according to assertions made from time to time he is prepared to defend himself against the board. He is a practitioner of osteopathy and is not believed by the board to be competent to pass the required medical examination even if he Bhould desire to do so. The state board has been considering his case for some time and the members say they did not file an affidavit against him at the last regular meeting of the board because it was desired to have all the evidence in the case ready before causing his arreBt. All these details being finished yesterday, the board met and drew up the affidavit charging him with practicing without a license. This morning the paper will be handed over to the sheriff of the county, who will arrest Dr. Jones.

While the practice of osteopathy by others than regular practitioners is not looked on with favor by the medical board, the present affidavit iB not directed against Dr. Jones' method of practice, but against his practice altogether. As he is not a regular practitioner and confines himself to the practice of osteopathy, proficiency in which alone does not qualify him to apply for a regular license, it can be seen that indirectly the practice of osteopathy is being given a blow. Concerning his practice, Dr. JoneB recently said: "I have had many people of intelligence for patients—prominent railroad officials, well-known business men, whose names I can give. I will give the official money for the affidavit of any person who will say that he or she has been injured by my treatment, and I can furnish the testimony of scores of intelligent people who will say that they hare been cured or benefited by my treatment. No one will say that I have extorted money or promised cureB. Why drive me out? Is not that board willing that I shall have the 'chronics' which they have turned away? It really seems to me that intelligent people should have the right to obtain any treatment for disease which does not involve the use deadly drugs. It seems to me that man of the sense of Senator Foraker, of Ohio, whose crippled son has been cured by osteopathy, ought to be credited with sufficient intelligence to decide what treatment is best for his family. It seems to me that fifty intelligent men and women, whose names and indorsements I can get, ought to be permitted to choose the treatment they shall receive for bodily ills, particularly after a large part of them have been givon up as incurable."
