supplying gas to almost all the gas belt towns. With the exception of the Ft. Wayne Gas company, which is in litigation with the city of Ft. Wayne over the possession of some pipe lines, all of the companies in the syndicate pass under the control of Mr. Murdock as receiver. Suit ordering foreclosure and sale of the properties was filed in the federal court about one year ago. It is customary in filing a foreclosure suit to ask for the appointment of a receiver at the same time, but this was not done in the case of the gas companies, as Mr. Murdock was in control already and the stockholders were

content to have him remain so. , By the appointment of Mr. Murdock as receiver for the four companies the way is opened to proceed ' with the sale of the four properties ’ without waiting for the result of the ! litigation in Ft. Wayne. Judge Anderson’s order of today makes Mr. Murdock receiver and in ! absolute control of the Ohio and Indiana gas company and the Ohio and 1 Indiana Consumers’ Natural and ll- ' luminating Gas company, of Lebanon, and of Columbus, 0., consolidated 1 some time ago; the Lafayette Gas company, of Lafayette, the Logans--1 port and Wabash Valley Gas com- ’ pany, of Logansport, and the Indiana Natural and Illuminating Gas company, of Crawfordsville. The petitioner for the appointment of the receiver was the Central Trust company, of New York, through its attorneys in Indiana, Taylor, Woods & Wilson, of Indianapolis. Mr. Murdock qualified for the appointment by filing from the Federal Union Surety company of this city In the total sum of $225,000. — —-o ———■ ■ 18 THE LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL A Suit In the Federal Court to Teat Two-Cent Fare Law. Is the Indiana two-cent railroad fare law unconstitutional? There is already a suit in the federal court attacking the validity of the law on the ground that it is in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States, in that it confiscates property without due process of law, but now a new point against the law is raised. A well-known attorney of Indianapolis, coupling to--1 gether a recent decision of the Indiana . appellate court and the opinion of at-torney-general James Bingham, is correct, is sufiicient to declare the twocent fare law, passed by the last general assembly and now in force, unconstitutional in that it is class legislation. In an opinion Attomey-Gen- ( eral Bingham said that the two-cent fare law does not apply to interurban roads. On January 15th, the appellate court, in a decision intimated strongly that any law covering the railroads and leaving out the interurbans would be called unconstitutional, as being special legislation.

ONLY FOUR DRUGS OF VALUE All the Rest are Worthless, Says this Famous Man—Theory of Christian Scientists. Mrs. Eddy and the Christian Scientists are not the only persons in. the world who disparage drugs in the treatment of disease. The greatest living physician and surgeon, Prof. Osler, of Oxford, formerly of Baltimore, has made a speech in which he said that the best doctor is he who knows the worthlessness of medicine. Only four of the drugs in the pharmacopoeia, according to Dr. Osler, have any therapeutic value. All the others do more harm than good. This may* explain the, cures that are unquestionably wrought by Christian Science, homeopathy, new thought and saints’ relics. One who relies on any of these agencies may get no benefit from his belief* but at any rate he abandons drugs, which, as Dr. Osler says, do only Injury, and then nature has a chance to malje him well. Nature, after all, is the great physician. If this theory is correct, the growth of Christian Science and other nondrug propagandas is a good thing which should be encouraged. They assist nature and do away with the administration of drug remedies. That this is beneficial is evident from the rapid spread of Mrs. Eddy’s ideas and those of others teaching similar doctrine all over the country. A large section of the population has abandoned the use of drugs, though Christian Science or other beliefs, and the good results that have followed are making many converts. If the movement continues at its present rate it will not be long before many doctors and druggists will have to seek other occupations. The medicinal profession will have to make rapid strides if it is to maintain its place in the world. Os late years it has accomplished much.

Mrs. J. O. Boehm, of New Corydon, passed through the city this morning enroute to Van Buren, where she will visit her mother, Mrs. John Kelly, who is seriously ill.

A DIVORCE CASE IS FILED Short Session of Court this Morning—the Fast Ditch Case is Propressing Slowly. Mary J. Weeks has been granted letters as administratrix of the estate of Grant W. Weeks, and filed bond signed by W. W, Briggs and E. F. Walsh. Jacob Bolllnbacher, guardian for Louis H. Shaneberger* and two others filed an inventory which was approved. Clara D. Harris has filed suit against C. Harris for a divorce, the usual accusations being made. Attorney Jacob Butcher appears for the plaintiff. Since the action of Judge LaFollette in the Adams county court a few weeks ago left the Fast ditch case in about the same position as it was at the time the petition wds first presented, the Allen county court has appointed three viewers to review the assessments and determine the situation at the present time with a view to beginning the work after the affair has been started almost at the bottom. Two of these viewers are selected from the Allen county court and the other is Benjamin Heaston of this city. Mr. Heaston went to Ft Wayne this afternoon to meet with the other members of the viewing board. Their action is to run over the ground and reconstruct the assessments, for the purpose of equalizing them. It was stated that many of the assessments were extortionate and that many others who were to be benefitted by the improvement were not assessed at all and there were still others who were assessed who had no land drained into Little river at all. —Huntington News-Democrat. o MAY BE BODY OF REV. COOK. New York, May 17. —Detectives have been detailed to make a thorough investigation of a case of suicide. A body was found in a bowery hotel today. believed to be that of Rev. Jerre Knode Cook, who eloped with seventeen year old Florette Whaley. The suicide wore the garb of a minister.

THIRTY-FIVE PETITIONS FILED Estimated Cost is Nearly a Half Million Dollars or Fifteen Dollars for Every Person in the County. At Winchester last Friday thirty petitions for crushed stone roads were granted by the county commissioners. With the petitions granted at the last meeting of the commissioners, and those granted Friday* the estimated cost will be about $465,000. The crushed stone required for the construction of these roads will be about 200,000 cubic yards. It will require 10,000 cars to haul it, or 400 trains of twenty-five cars each With «two yards to a wagon, 100,000 wagons will be necessary to haul the stone, and if. allowed thirty feet for a wagon and team and placed in a straight row, the wagons would reach from New York to St. Louis. The building of these roads will place a debt of $465,000 on the citizens of that county, which will amount to sls for each man, woman and child in the county. The commissioners will not go above the two per cent limit and it will be some time before any more petitions for roads are granted, although a number have been filed. t oCOL. EDWARDS’ STATEMENT. Says He Licked Senor Garland Purposely. « “ r ~' Washington, May 18. —Col. Edwards secretary of the Democratic congressional committe, who is under bond to answer the charge of -assaulting Senor Garland, of the Peruvian legation, made his first statement of the scrap today. He said: “Garland,while walking with a woman near the Desota apartment Wednesday night, bumped into me and said, ‘get off the street.’ I replied ‘no I’ll not get off the street, but you get off the earth.’ With that I waded into him and smashed him good and plenty, possibly I cut him a lot, but not with a knife or weapon, but with bare knuckles.” —o A.
