PARK BOARD W0I1 UY EXHAUSTIVE PLAN
Members Explain What They Had In Mind When They Asked Larger Levy.
The park board has asked the council for a park fund levy of 9 cents for flext year, an increase of 4 cents over the former park levy- And if the request is granted, Terre Haute will lead every other city of its size in the entire country for its parks, the park board members promised, in outlining an extensive plan for park improvement yesterday.
The building of a boulevard system connecting every park of, the city the acquisition, besides several other small neighborhood parks of a riverside park near "Wabash avenue, and lastly but most greatly of all, the building of a 100-acre outdoor amusement park and the probable acquisition of Forest park. .The realization of these plans means a gigantic task of several years' labor, but the park board assures their reality in case a 9-cent park fund levy is granted.
The building of the iOO-acre amusement park is the most striking feature of the park board's plans, and it is upon the building of this park that the members will direct their energies.
Riverside Park.
It is the plan of the board to take in all the land from Maple .avenue for about one-half .mile north and from Sixth-and-one-half street west to a point west of Third street. On that land, the park board intends to create an artificial lakg, in which several islands will be built. On the islands, it is planned to build a large dancing pavilion, band stands and gardens. A large municipal bathing beach will be constructed on one side of the lake, while boat houses where boats may be rented will also be erected. On the islands 'and around the lakes and gardens, a boulevard system of lighting will be installed. Then around the entire proposed park the park board intends building part of their chain of boulevards. It is the plan for the boulevard 'to rim from Seventh and Maple avenue west to a point beyond Third street, thence north probably to the Ft. Harrison road, thence east to Seventh street, thence south to Maple avenue.
How Work Is Possible.
The first impressions from the plans for this park, the members explained, would indicate a necessary expenditure of thousands and thousands of dollars. But the members explained that the land formed a natural bowl in which the center there is now a natural pond called Prairie pond.: The drilling of but a few feet is all that is necessary to reach water that would make a lake of any size desired.- Gravel cliffs next to the pond will furnish without cost that which is necessary "for the constriicfibii of the bathing* fceach and the islands, the members pointed out. To climax their plans, the park board* members said that A. Conover and E. Kalen, who are the owners of the proposed park site, are in total sympathy with the plan, and that the land may be secured for a very low price, or that possibly Mr. Conover and Mr. Kalen may donate the land to the city. To insure the safety of the park from the river floods, the members said that the bases of the boulevard drives will be reinforced by concrete, making a strong and safe levee.
The park board estimates that the cost of building such a park, will amount to about 570,000. After its completion, it will be self sustaining by the revenue from the rental of boats, etc., the members said.
DRILL TEAMS LEAVE.
A drill .team of sixteen men of the Brazil Eagles lodge, under the command of Captain A. CI Duddleston, of Terre Hau't'e, left last night to attend the national convention of the lodge in Savannah. The Brazil team will take part in a program of competitive drills. i

STILL AT HOSPITAL
Two Women Hurt When Phillips and Twigg Boy Were Killed, Will Recover.
Investigation- of the fatal accident at the Billtown crossing of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company and the National road, where Earl Phillips, 50 years old, and his eight-year-old grandson, William Twigg, Jr., met instant death, and Mrs. Twigg, the boy's mother, and Elsie Phillips, daughter of the dead man, v/ere severely injured when their auto was struck by the 10 o'clock westbound "Highlander," yesterday morning, is under way by both traction company officials and the local authorities.
Local authorities who have investigated tho accident are at a loss to explain how it occurred. The crossing just east of Billtown, it is said, can be easily seen by motorists traveling in either direction. The tracks leave the north side of the road and cross to the south side but the road runs straight it is said.
Authorities expressed it as their opinion that Phillips was probably engaged in conversation with the other occupants of the car and did not notice the crossing or the approaching in.terurban until he was struck. 's The two women who were injured were brought to Terre Haute and taken in an ambulance to the Union hospital. It was reported Saturday night at the hospital that the injuries were serious but would not prove fatal and that the patients were resting comfortably.

Complexion Fresh As a Daisy—Not a Wrinkle
in sight—Remarkable discovery of skfc osmosis quickly enables women with sunken cheeks, -wrinkles and marks of age again to become most beautiful, youthful and charming.
By Mile. Mareix,
It's wonderful to lock beautiful and youthful. The Countess de Chevanne, who at seventy years of age, possesses & marvelously soft, smooth, vel-vet-like skin and an almost girllike complexion without a wrinkle insight, told the writer perspually in Paris that she owed it all to the discovery of skin osmosis. With this marvelous discovery every comolexion blemish can be banished in three nights in many instances, and you can awaken in the morning with a e a u i u o s e colored complexion fresh as a daisy.
I have known dozens of hollow-cheeked, wrinkled, aged-lookiner women, who had given up all hope of ever looking beautiful and youthful aeain. to "Come back" and aarain become most beautiful, youthful and fascinating in from two to three weeks' time by this wonderful simple method.
No matter what your age o? what you have tried unsuccessfully, skin osmosis will positively bring you new beauty and youth. Merely wash your face in warm water at night and rub in a teaspoonful or two of any good pure reseated cream, which, you,can obtain from your druggist In the norn-

ing wash the face with cold water fend rub in more cream. In three weeks or less watch the magic transformation. See how the old, hardened, coarse, rough skin turns into new, fresh, soft, youthful looking skin almost before your very eyes, all due to simple skin osmosis produced solely by warm water and roseated cream. But be sure to use only pure roseated cream, as It

thing from ordinary face creams and must not be confounded with them. I personally prefer Creme ~Tokalon (Roseated),1 but any good brand will do. If you have wrinkles get a bx of Japanese Ice Pencils and use them in connection with the cream and you get quick action on the deepest wrinkles, no matter of how long standing, in one night's time and awaken on the morrow to witness most astonishing results.
I personally guarantee success in every case, in any of my newspaper articles which I write on subjects relating to beauty, or I will refund the amount paid for any products which I recommend, provided you take your dealer's receipt at the time you make your purchase. My American address is Simo'ne Mariex. 20 West 22nd street. New York.
NOTE— The manufacturers of Creme Tokalon Roseated have such unbounded confidence in their particular brand, that they offer to forfeit $200.00 to any charitable institution,-^ it can be shown .jthat it will not banish every complexion blemish arid give most astonishing new beauty to wrinkled, care worn, aged women in three days' time in many Instances. It can be obtained absolutely fresh and guaranteed pure from Gillis' Terminal Pharmacy,: A. Hera, or fiaost any good druggist In this city.

LATE DR. J. B.
Several Prominent Doctors Had Worked With Him In His Famous Clinics.
Keen regret was expressed by phy sicians of Terre Haute, Saturday morning, on learning of the death of John B. Murphy, the world-renowned surgeon whose death occurred Friday at Mackinac Island, Mich., where Dr. Murphy was spending a short vacation.
The clinics of Dr. Murphy at Mercy hospital, Chicago, were the mecca of physicians all over the world, and several Terre Haute physicians have been among the number who have watched the great physician at his work. Recently Pope Benedict conferred an order of knighthood upon Dr. Murphy as a recognition of his able work.
Among Terre Haute men who have attended Dr. Murphy's clinics is Dr. D. R. Ulmer, who pays a high tribute to Dr. Murphy. "I attended Dr. Murphy's clinics in 1907, 1910 and 1913," says' Dr. Ulmer, "and I regarded Dr. Murphy as the greatest English speaking teacher of surgery in this country or in Europe. I have listened to a good many great physicians on both sides of the water but none T^hom I regarded as great as Dr. Murphy. Dr. Murphy came into prominence through his work on intestinal surgery. His 'Murphy button' is well known among physicians, but other methods have supplanted the use for which it was intended to some' extent. Dr. Murphy and Dr. Ochsner, both of Chicago, did more to clear up the surgery of appendicitis than any other two physicians in the world at the time when it was somewhat of a puzzle to the profession. Dr. Murphy was not, however, a pioneer in intestinal surgery. His most original work is in bone surgery and he has done more in this line than any other man. His greatest work was undoubtedly his method of transplanting bone in fractures and also in place of dead bone and his work in planting tendons between ends of bones in stiff joints and thus restoring the use of the joint to its natural function. His research work in pathology was very great, though he did not make this his specialty." "He was a great teacher and as proof his clinical papers and published works have been translated into many languages."
Speaking of Dr. Murphy's work, Dr. Charles Wyeth said: "He was a wonderful surgeon and a great success as a teacher. His clinics were exceptionally good. He was also a great stimulus to others and a man of remarkable energy and Chicago and the world will miss him."
Dr. F. E. Wiedemann, who frequently attended Dr. MTurphy's clinics, speaks of him with high praise. "Dr. Murphy was an exceptionally good surgical judge and had a splendid surgical technique. He was quick, decisive and dexterous in his operating work. He was a man of splendid personality and a wonderful teacher. He had a remarkable perception for surgical diagnosis. Intestinal surgery gave him his international fame, but he was greatest in bone surgery."
Dr. O. R. Spigler is another physician who pays a high tribute to Dr. Murphy: "I was shocked to read of Dr. Murphy's death. He will be a great loss to the surgical world. He was a great surgeon—rone of the greatest in the world.. Perhaps his most wonderful work was in making a new joint or one of passable use by connecting bone tissue in such a way as to form joint tissue."

REAL ESTATE BOARD PLANS GREATER T. H.
Opening of Deming Tract Will Give Season Impetus—John Luken's Gift.
What is the real estate board? This in a question which Mr. Allan Ratterree, chairman of publicity for the local real estate board,, says he has often been asked and in an interview Saturday desired to explain. "The purpose of the real estate board," explains Mr. Ratterree, "is not alone as some may suppose to increase the value of Terre Haute real estate. The purpose which is of most importsnce to us is the desire to make Terre Haute a better city in which to live, and we wish to call the attention of the public to some of the unselfish things which have been done in this line. "We real estate men are delighted with Mr. Demas Deming's latest announcement that he will give to the city a tract of land approximately 200 feet wide and aboilt one-half mile long tnrough the Deming property commencing at the end of Ohio street and continuing east to Twenty-flfth street. Through the generosity of Mr. Deming the city has thus secured what Is practically another park. When this parkway is completed perhaps as many
