' John Spuhler, Auct i NOTICE IO PUBLIC. When absent on a short holiday vacation, a report was circulated that I had left Decatur. This is not true, as I am still in business at my old loca tion and getting results through osteopathic treatment, in many cases after all other systems have failed. Osteopathy stands today without a peer among systems, and I am willing to demonstrate this to any interested. As Dr. Osler, the most famous medic alive today, says, the sora'.ied natural methods of treatment are a branch sadly neglected, and but little understood by the medical fraternity, but their virtues are manifold and the results little short of marvelous in many cases, and physicians will in time be driven to their use as a matter of self-protection. What better authority do you want than this of the superiority of osteopathy as a science? Special inducements w’ill be given all those who commence treatment during February. Throw asiue prejudices and give yourself the utmost chance for a regain of health. Examination free. R. L. STARKWEATHER, M. D., D. O.

The funeral of John Lee, the Bluffton man charged with the murder of Samuel Purdy, who died Friday morning in the Bluffton jail, from apoplexy, was held this afternoon at 2 o’clock from the home of a brother. William Lee, at Poneto. A short sen’ ice was held this morning at the Thoma undertaking establishment in Bluffton, where the body was taken, and the widow, who is in jail, charged with complicity in the murder, was allowed to attend in company with the officials. She seems heart-woken over

her busband's death. !t is thought, that should have Lee lived, insanity would have been his defense in the . murder trial, and that a jury would have found him of unsound mind and mentally irresponsible for the homicide. Ten years ago he suSered a fall from a load of hay, falling on his head and shoulders, which it is believi ed caused injury to his brain, and i from which it is thought he never recovered. It is said the state will in- ■ sist on Mrs. Lee being tried on the charge made against her, for complicity in the murder. FREE BASKET WILLOW CUTTINGS The Department of Agriculture is getting ready to fill requests for the basket willow cuttings grown last year on its experimental farm at Arlington, Va. Distribution of these cuttings takes place early in March each spring, to farmers and others who wish to make trials of basket willow on lands too wet for other crops. From 5" to 100 cuttings are given each pers> n. The distribution is not a mere givicg away of Government materia! to persons who desire to get something free: because it is required that each recipient of cuttings shall make a report of the treatment given and the results obtained. Several select varieties a"° included in each set that is distributed, and the aim U to secure information as to the best variety for each locality, since no one kind can be relied upon to yield maximum results over a wide range of territory 1 -o POLICE COURT. Vinco Yurkovic was arrested this morning and taken before ’Squire Stone on an affidavit sworn to by Toni Sifter. Both men are foreigners and are employed as the sugar factory.
