boys cause much trouble. (.Contributed) Why don't the telephone Company's offer a reward for some of the boys that make it point to see how much' trouble that they can cause the line-j men to keep the rural telephones In 1 good working order. The breaking of j Insulators has become a matter of pleasure to some boys when they can find stones to throw, which often' breaks the glass or even a wire and then that line Is out of order for a 1 day or more, what would you think 1 if some one was to throw a gtone j through your window, would you not consider that n very ungentlemanly trhk? Now there is the point the telephone has conge to stay and they ; are a necessity to all hustling and' progressive people, and In fact they are worth more to the rural man or j woman than the city dweller; and yet some one Is always complaining! of poor service. No telephone com- j pany, can have the best of service j unless their rights are better protect- i ad in the future than in the past. The' trouble Is not always due to boys alone but some men while engaged In hauling of high loads of hay or otherwise; have been known to cross the lines and have made the remark that this is a matter of fun to see the liuemen climbing a pole on a cold winter day t<y make repairs, hope that we will not have to tell this too many times for the company’s don't like to take action in the matter, but If nut the chronic habit Is repeated some oue will 'surely haw; to suffer. One main reason that some of the managers of the companya have not act ) ed in regard to the arresting of the I guilty parties the fine is so severe | that it would be a serious charge if t once convicted of meddling with wbat j is known as a “Common Carrier” of ■ v. this great country known as America. o- — While the funeral of Mrs. Winnie Marltenkoi a prm Iru-nt Monmouth yiMtnr woman. vHTe of Martin Mar- j beiike, was heUi this morning at 10 o'clock at the heme under very sad circumstances, two prominent Port Wayne physicians. Dr. C. M. Goheen and Dr. George Thain, languished in the Adams county jail, charged with j contributing to her death. Like a thunderbolt out of a clear J sky, apparently, the arm of the law j dropped upon the two physicians at Fort Wayne late yesterday afternoon j when they were arrested u(>on bench ; warrants Issued from the Adams cir-j cult court upon affidavits filed there j yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock charg- ( in - the doctors with criminal abortion which resulted in Mrs. Marhenke's death. As soon as the warrants were issued Sheriff Durkin telephoned to Sheriff .V. O GiadiehY, at Fort Wayne, who with his deputy, Herman Pranger, made th& arrests at 4 o'clock, locating Dr. Goheen at Jfifi office at 1411 Weils street, and Dr. Tliain at his off.oe, 416 West Main street. The doctors were placed in jail there and Sheriff Durkin and Deputy Jesse Kelley, with Coroner D. D. Clark and Prosecutor R. C. Parrish, of this city, left here last ewkjgffig on the 5:36 in- j tenirban car for Fort Wayne to take them into custody. The bond of ea' h | was fixed at 53.000. Jt is said that; they could have furnished This in their tome city, ;but bondsmen frixn this county wer«i npcA-safjfJ and they were brought here and placed In Jail. Unable to Give Bond. Up until a late hour this afternoon, both doctors had been unable to give bond. It is said they have many Fort Wayne friends who woujdqome to their aid, But as the victim lived In Adams county, the bondsmen must also live here. They will not be given a hearing until the case is called during the April term of court, just oner month from today. As soon as arrested in Fort Wayne the doctors rhtalhed Fort Wayno lawyers, who will make a brisk fight for their clients. Goheen has retained McAdams & Hartzeii, and Thain the firm of Leonard, Rosa & Zcilars, both firms of Fort Wayne. Lee Hartzeii. one of the attorneys for Goheen, arrived here at 11:30 o’clock this morning, to make arrangements for securing bepd for his client, but until a late hour this afternoon had failed to do so. He states that Goheen says he knows absolutely nothing about Mrs. Marhenke, and that he has nevur had any professional dealings with her at all. In fact that he remembers nothing about her. Mr. Hartzeii says his client is cheerful and confident that he will be acquitted. Attorney D. B. Erwin has been retained as Goheen's local counsel. A party of p r. Thain's friends from . Fort' Wayne, including a brother, arc' expected to Arrive on the S'EA oar from Fort Wayne, this afternoon. He has asked to have the counsel of C. J. Lutz as his local attorney, and Mr. Lutz will probably consent, though What action will be taken will depend on the ■ | arrival of Thain’s Fort Wayhe friends. Thain says little; It la said, but naturally maintains no knowledge of the affair. Advices are that both men declared last night -that the Fort Wayne Medical society, to which they do not be-

long, had framed up the case against them, but this Is not true, as is well known here. Inquest Continued. At time of going to press this afternoon, a continued session of the inquest was being held at the sheriff's office. Ihosecutor Parrish lms a strong case agains tthe physicians and has little doubt but that he can procure a conviction. The punishment for con- 1 , vlction is from three to twonty-one years in the penitentiary. Story of the Case. Mrs. Marhooke became very ill last I ( Sunday afternoon, March 2, her death I occuring last Wednesday morning,' j March 5, at 8 o'clock, ifumors of aj jrathei* peculiar state of affairs In her sudden illness and death readied the ears of the Adams county officials nnd an examination was Immediately begun. I-ate yesterday afternoon Prosecutor R. C. Parrish, with Sheriff Durjkin, Deputy Sheriff Jeßse Kelley, Cor|Qner D. D. Clark and several pbysiIcians went to the Marhenke home, at I Monmouth, to held a post-mortem examination. Coroner D. D. Clark held the inquest at 2 o’clock and the other physicians who accompanied him, including his brother, Dr. C. 3. Clark, Dr J. M. Miller and Dr. P. P. Thomas, held an autopsy at the same time. The abdoroiual organs were removed and a thorough examination m.-ue, revealing evidence of an operaj tlon of a criminal nature. According to their finding Mrs. Marhenke had bled to death from tho hemorrhages caused by the operation I and that her death waß also caused j by the complication of septic poisoning. A return was then made to this city !by tlia officers at 3 o'clock and upon j information furnished them through I the inquest evidence Sheriff Durkin made the affidavit against one of the | physicians and Deputy Sheriff Kelley i against the other. These were filed with Clerk Ferdinand Bleeke in the ■circuit court and warrants ordered issued at once by Judge Merryman, who fixed the bond in each case at f 3,000. The charge against C. M. Goheen is that on February' J, P'lß, he produced jan abortion on the aforesaid Winnie j Marhenke by the use of certain instruI'ments to produce a miscarriage, which occurred March 2 and in consequence of which she died March 5. ' The affile: vit against Thain is similar, except J February 25 is named as the date of the operation performed by him. I The evidence was secured very easty yesterday afternoon as the husi band, Martin Marhenke, and others closely connected with the family, were very free in giving what they tnew of the matter to the officials. Mr. Marhenke Insisted that his wife was adverse to having any more children and strongly objected to becoming a mother. It is said that last October a babe was born to them, which was very weakly, the babe dying after lingering a week ami ft half or so during Old Home week. When Mrs. Marhenke soon fonnd herself in a delicate condition again, she Insisted on going to the Fort Wayne physician. Her [husband stated that he objected and , 1 tried to prevent her doijig so, but she | was determined to go anyhow and . very plainly said she Would. It is •' said that she was accompanied to Fort 1 1 Wayne op these occasions by a woman i friend from Decatur whose name the officers wish withheld. It is said that she first went to Goheen’s office February 4, where, according to Marhenke, and the woman who accompanied her, the physician performed tha operation at her request. He received fifteen dollars for , It. The operation was not effective and on her next visit to Fort Wayne, she , changed doctors, going to Dr. Thain. \)iio for the s4me f«A- of sls> performed a Similar operation. A second visit to Dr. Thain February 25, it Is said, was necessary. It is said that last Saturday she was also at Fort Wayne, returning borne at 5:30 o'clock in tho evening. Sun--1 day afternoon. March 2, she became very 111, and It Is said tbat Mr. Marhenke went to ask Fort Wayne physicians to care for her aB they had taken the case from.the first. He said he went to Thain, who refused to do so, nnd sent a little medicino along, telling him to go and get a local physician, that he couldn't bother with it. When he returned Jiome Sunday evebing her condition became very alarming. A physician from Decatur was called, about 7 o'clock, the Decatur physician going out at 8 ociook. He says he was informed by Mrs. Marhenke that she had been having a sore ! throat and that was what caused the ! bringing on of the complication. The * Decatur physician who thereupon took l up the case, said he was not informed that the physicians In Ft. Wayne had been attending her. In answer to his flrqtHries as to the prior treatment, he states that he was told that sh.o had used about everything. that people had,told her to. He found her condition very ‘critical, with severe vomiting and purging that continued until the time of her death. It Is said that her suffering was very In-

- ' tense, and that at times it was neeessary for two or three people to hold her in bed. At times of very Intense 1 suffering, it is said she begged tor j chloroform or anything that she might j tako to ease her sufferings, and it was | necessary to give tier opiates to quiet her. The Decatur physician who attend- 1 ed her stated that he thought the Inflamed condition of the stomach and j j intestines was due more to some kind I !of medicine that she took before his i p artlval there, than It was to anything ■ else. He found her condition was bad and | at once informed the family that the:e 1 was very little hope for her recovery. Mr. Marhenke seemed very mist-h concerned over her illness and was griefstricken. She would have been twenty-five years of age next June 2, and leaves two children. The eldest Is a daughter, Merle, aged six years, and a son, Robert, aged nearly three. it has been learned that once after visiting Fort Wayne, Mrs. Marhenke applied there to a former Decatur acquaintance for the loan of ten dollars, not having sufficient money to meet the requirements of the Fort Wayne physician. Funeral Held Today. The little home in Monmouth, where the funeral was held this morning at 10 o'clock, was one of the saddest scenes ever witnessed in the little town. A large throng attended the sfcrvfrek, and there was not nearly i enough room in the home to accommodate them. The Rev. A. K. Mumma, of Hoagland, pastor of the Concord ~ Lutheran church, officiated, and the [body was laid to rest in the Monmouth | cemetery. The deceased was well and i favorably known and as all her girlhood was spent in the town where she , was born, she bad many acquainti ances. She was Miss Winnie Watts prior to her marriage, and was a stu- [ dent in the Decatur high school. Her ■ parents are Mr. and Mrs. James Watts ■ of Monmouth and she comes from a i family that is very highly esteemed. A sad feature 13 that the little thrivi year-old babe, Robert, is in a helpless I condition, suffering from a sort of spiu- • al trouble, or softening of tho bones. Mr. Marhenke, the bereaved husi band, is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry . Marhenke, of this city. He was born and reared in Root township.' t Have Cheerful Company. I When brought here Thursday evening, there were not enough beds in the men s department on the lower floor of the jail, so one doctor was tak<eo upstairs to the woman's department .'which has been unused for some time. This morning both were placed behind Ithe bars on the lower floor. Thain especially is aristocratic in appearance, and the Fort Wayne physicians will evidently not find their rough comrades to their liking. Many of the prisoners ' are Erie double track workmen, aad j spend much of their time in singing. Dr. Thain Known Here, j Dr. Thain is well known to Decatur 'people, as he conducted a branch bus- ,! iness in this city as an eye specialist. , ; He came here at intervals of two I; weeks, for three or four years, up unj 'til about two years or so ago. During his visitß here, he put up at the Park . 'Hotel and Murray House, and became . quite well known. | Carl, four-year-old son of Simeon 5 Haihs, the well known meat dealer, had his life crushed out this afternoon ‘ at 3:30 o'clock. The accident happened in front of the Maine residence, corj ner of Adams and Line streets, when . a heavily-loaded wagon load of tile, r driven by F. L. Kukelhan, of northeast of the city, passed over the little boy’s 1 chest. Death, it is thought, wav in--3 stant. ’ Mr. Kukelhan was driving east on 1 Adams street coming from the Krick * & Tyndall tile factory. As he reached Line street, he met a friend driving a tile wagon west and stopped to talk to him. They talked about ten minutes ; and then both started to drive on. Mr. ‘ Kukelhan had driven about twenty feet when his wagon gave a bump and * looking under it, was horrified to see the mangled body of the child. It Is said the Hains boy, with an- ’ other child, had been playing in the | streets and had been hopping on passim 1 ing tile wagons. It is presumed that • when Mr. Kukelhan stopped, the Child - had crawled under the wagon and • hung onto the coupling pole, and that ' he then lost his hold and fell In the * way of the rear wheels, one of which j passed' over bis body. The child who t was with him at the time of the acci- ' dent, ran down an alley and has not ' vet been found, at time of going to ; press. It is sfdd Mr ttukplhsn was in no ; way to bfame, as be did hot know the j ’ children were near, or that they were ' on the wagon. The body was taken Into the homo and physicians called, but It is thought

'that death was mstant, and all efforts to resuscitate hhu proved umtvulling. [ Tho little tK>y was the eldest of a : family of three children. Bernard, * aged three, and Alice, aged six months, t survive. | SAT FOR THEIR PICTURES. | A pretty picture of the high school girls’ basket ball team will adorn the 1 High School Booster paper in a short time. This will be taken from the ( for which the girls aat yesterday at the Moser studio.

Crystal Kern, and Miss Clara Wiliams, the last named being the coach. Miss Veda Hensley as captain, held the ball, which was adorned with the letters, I>. H. S. and the girls all wore purple and gold ribbons In their hair. . Word was received by Mrs. C. L. Walters this noon of the death of her aunt, Mrs. Sarah McConnehey, at Fort Wayne. Mrs. McConnehey was well known t© the older residents of this 1 city, having, with her husband, made their home in the south part of the city until Mr. McConnehey’s death about eighteen years ago after which 1 she went to live with her daughter, Mrs. J. C. Moore, of East Main street, Fort Wayne, and at which place she ■ passed away this morning from a coin--1 plication of diseases, superinduced ‘ largely from asthma. Mrs. McConne--1 hoy's maiden namo was Miss Sarah ' Fisher, and was born April 14, 1827, ‘ being at the time of her death, 85 ‘ years of age. Early in life she was married to Abraham Young. Several ’ years later, Mr. Young died and on July 5, 1857, she was married to David McConnehey. To this union was ' born three children, John McConnehey 1 of Montana, Mrs. Ed Mann of Kansas, and Mrs. J. C. Moore of Fort WaWyne, ' all of whom are living, to mourn the ’ departure • the mother from this life; also a stepson, William H. McConnehey, of this city. The husband and one daughter hare preceded her in death. A sister, Mrs. Lydia Jordan, 1 of Mercer county, Ohio, also survives.

BURIAL AT GENEVA. Body of Former Geneva Oil Worker Taken There For Burial. Tne burial of Frank Schonover, a former worker In the Geneva oil fields, took place at Geneva, tho body being brought from Keifer, Oklahoma, where his death occurred. The Geneva Herald says: “On last Sunday evening occurred the death of Frank Schonover at Keifer, Okla~ He had just gone to town to buy some things and he was passing a place that some man was attempting to rob and the man doing the robbing fired just -as Frank passed strieking him some when- near the stomach shooting an artery in two. Frank lived but half an hour after being shot. The shot that hit and killed Frank went through a partition and a door before hitting him. The man that did the shooting is held ia >itil at Keifer. One of the very instructive talks of the weekly lectures of the hygiene course was given this morning before the high school by Dr. S. P. Hoffman, who spoke before the students on •The Alimentary Tract." He gave a thorough description of this part of the anatomy, and of its care and the diseases that it la subject to, branching out Into a general talk on hygiene. His discourse was a very learned and practical one, and was hoard with deep interest. The high school basket ball team, accompanied by its coach, Professor Worthman, left at noon today over the Erie for Marion, where this evening, they will meet the fast Marion team. The local boys defeated Marion here a couple of months ago, and expect to carry off the honors again. The Decatur boys’ team comprises Robert Peterson, Dan Tyndall, Dan Falk, Kenneth Vancil, Leland Frank and Frank | Lose.

L o t WASHINGTON, March 7.—A1l sorts . of things happened to time-honored 1 and age-discolored precedents around r the white house when its new occu- , pant, in his first full day on the job of , “presidentlng" waded into work. More;'over Secretary Joseph F. Tumulty ; shattered a few aged customs himself. Following are a few of the preceI dents that President Wilson smashed: 1 “Issued a statement announcing he , would put disposal of patronage . squarely up to the heads of the vari--1 ous executive departments, t “Issued a statement, in the first per- ,- son, explaining why William F. Mc--5 Combs was not named as a cabinet - member. , “Received a delegation of 100 people from New York state who did not have any appointment with him. “Sat iu his office with the door to Tumulty's room open so that a score r of New Jersey politicians had finished talking with the secretary they wandered into the president's room, un--1 announced, and were warmly re- . ceived. 4 "A dozen newspaper photographers » were given free run of the outer offices, where they snapped photographs • of the president's callers. They also t snapped Tumulty at work. 1 There was practically no “bed tape” 3 at the executive offices. The usual ' form for white house statements ’ where the information is conveyed in s the third person was followed in the ' first statement but a little later the un--1 precedented plan of the president makf ing a personal, first person announce* I ment was adopted. The president and 1 Tumulty also announced that they l were working out a plan by which the ? executive w-ould see the newspaper correspondents at regular periods anil by which Wilson would permit quotas tions of his views. B “Secretary Tumulty’s most unusual bit of precedent-breaking was in making himself at home in the outer of- > flees of the white house. Heretofore 1 the secretary to the president has t been almost as hard a percentage to f see as his chief. But Tuinolty put in 3 more than half of bis time talking to ■ newspaper men and comdrring with '• visitors in the outside cofrklorrs.” 1 0 —— ; i — - BUILDING IT ON PAPER. At Portland, it is understood, for > some reason, that the Richmond, Portr land and Fort Wayne Railroad company, which was recently incorporated ' with a capital stock of $109,009, will ' take over the hdlfiings of the Fort ? Wayne & Springfield Rttilway com- • PfiOP, owning the line now in opera- !
