Hunter from membership because he violated the "ethics'' of the profession by advertising. Mr. Hunter sent a letter of resignation in which he declared that advertising paid him better than the rules of the society, but the organization declined to accept his resignation, and insisted on expelling him. The above was clipped from a newspaper exchange, and while we do not have the pleasure of the personal acquaintance with Dr. Hunter, yet we must admit that there is a few things about him that entitles him to our admiration. While we can readily see that if Dr. Hunter advertised that he could saw a man's leg off and then grow it on again, or if he advertised that he could cure a case that was languishing in the last stages of consumption, the profession would have Uave a right to feel not only humiliated but degraded. But the medical profession are not the only living beings that would know that Dr. Hunter was a d—d liar, and an unprofessional hypocrite. But if Dr. Hunter would advertise that he was skilled in his profession, and a graduate of a recognized medical school and was open for profession engagements, the Democrat would like for some of the medical

profession to not only enlighten us, 1 but the public through the columns of the Democrat, as to their cause of t complaint against such an announcement, and why it would be unprofessional. We are not trying to raise any argu--3 ments with the doctors, and we will J admit too, that we are a little partial 9 to good advertising. But we would I: like to know the honest truth about i the merit of such exclusion. In the i meantime we will have to stand with Dr. Hunter, that "advertising pays better than the Tules of the society.” Richmond has a candidate for the nomination to the office of mayor who has made a unique proposition on which he will act if elected. He ij J. B. Gordon, editor of the Richmond Item, and he proposes to step down and out of his office any time 30 per cent of the voters of the city si£n a petition saying that they believe he has not lived up to his anteelection pledges. There are several other candidates for the nomination on the republican ticket and the race will be a hot one. Gordon Is the editor who led the fight for the saloons in Richmond. —Columbia City Post. Representative Gottschalk is home from the legislature, and it is nowmeet and proper that we congratulate him on his excellent record and good deportment as a member of the Indiana general assembly. He was fearless enough to stand for that which he believed to be right and he permitted no lobby to lambast him into changing front His vote upon every measure showed that he considered every measure presented, and gave it that deliberation to which it was entitled. His record justifies the people of Adams county In the congratulations they are now bestowing upon him. An address on “Reminiscences of Early Banking in Fort Wayne,” will be given by Hon. Charles McCullouch before the members of the F\>rt Wayne chapter of the American Institute of Banking at their next meeting which will be held either on the 17th or the 24th of this month. —Fort i Wayne Sentinel.

However, a dispatch from Geneva received this morning gives the information that the ore was not found in the county or in the state, hence the tension will find immediate relief. Messrs. Homer and Vernon Pontius and M. E. Hutton found the ore elsewhere and lmiq/c- - it to the authorities to have it examined. Congressman Adair arranged with the director of the mint to have it examined and in tbe event that the ore contains gold in any quantity a fortune for the Geneva parties will be the result. No word has been received as yet. however, in regard to the matter. The ore has ! every appearance of being a gold pro- ! ducer say those who have seen it 1
