(u&anola TWO INDIGNANT WIVES .— WOMEN WHO SUSPECTED THEIR HUSBANDS AND FOLLOWED THEM. ■■ ■ Both Procured Revolvers and One Husband Was Shot—Stories They Tell. Last night two Indianapolis women started out after their recreant husbands. Considerable excitement was occasioned and one man had a very narrow escape. Walter and Fanny Willits have been married for about eight years and have lived at 24 North New Jersey street for some time. Last night Mrs. Willits became impressed with the idea that her husband was not treating her right, and started on a tour of investigation, taking with her a small thirty-two caliber revolver, as she .ays, to protect herself. With little loss of time she located Willits at the home of Mrs. Addie Schaub, 628 East Wabash street, and without the ceremony of knocking, pushed into the house and upstairs, where she claims to have heard the voice of her husband. And sure enough there he was on the sofa and close beside him sat Mrs. Schaub. There were several people in the room who witnessed the affair, and they say that without any talk Mrs. Willits deliberately aimed and fired, the bullet taking effect in her husband’s right temple. She then left the house and was arrested later by Detectives Splann and Wilson. Willits was sent to the City Dispensary with the bullet still between his scalp and skull. Dr. Paul Martin attended him, and after locating the bullet cut it out without great difficulty. The bullet had struck Willits at the curve of the skull near the temple and had luckily glanced. The lead was found about two inches from the place where it struck. It was considered extremely fortunate that the bullet did not bore a hole in his head. The woman, when questioned by the police, said she had not intended to shoot her husband, but had gone to the house with the weapon in her hand for protection, and he, seeing it and fearing that Ehe Intended him harm, grappled with her, discharging the weapon in the struggle. The husband first said he had accidently shot himself, but later acknowledged that it was the work of his wife, but said sne was Justified. He said he had paid the Schaub woman occasional visits several times in the last few months. He was arrested and charged with assault and battery. Before the man was locked up after being attended in the Dispensrry. Captain Dawson heard a shot and then two more in quick* succession. He started to investigate, and was met at the door of the police station by John Wilson, employed as a driver at the New York store, who said his wife was crazy and had been shooting at Idm. He asked protection. The captain started at once to get the woman, but before he reached her Private Fred Junemann, of the Twenty-seventh Battery-, had taken the revolver from her. She was almost wild with excitement, and declared she would kill her husband. Many people were on the streets and were attracted by the shooting. They crowded about the door of the police station until dispersed by Sergeant La porte. It seems that for two years the married life of Wilson and his wife has not been pleasant. Last night, according to the story told by Mrs. Wilson, her husband left his home and she went after him shortly afterwards. Finding him on North New Jersey street, near Washington, she asked him to return, but he refused. He was with two other women. She then went to a neighboring store which whb open and borrowed a small revolver and started out again. She found him this time on Washington street, near Alabama. Without any warning she opened fire. She says she snot to kill, but witnesses claim that she tired each time in tbe air. She and husband were both arrested.

HARES A STATEMENT e CHAPLAIN CARSTEN'SEX TALKS OF HIS INTERVIEW. Denies that He Said Colonel Huidekoper Was Not a Medical Practitioner. GOVERNOR MOUNT ANGRY + SEVERELY CRITICISES THE REMARKS OF CHAPLAIN CARSTENSEN. Two Regiments at Camp Mount Furloughed Last Night—Death of Private Wiley. Chaplain Carstensen, of the One-hundred-and-flfty-eighth Regiment, has made a statement with regard to the Sentinel interview, charging that a horse doctor was at the head of the medical department of the First Army Corps. It has been forwarded to Washington through the proper channels. Ail those who know anything of the explanation refuse to say what it contained, but it is understood to have admitted that the Sentinel interview was correct in the main, with some slight “coloring.” It will be three or four days, it is understood, before anything further is heard, and the army officers here do not know just where the matter will be heard from again. It is considered not at all unlikely that the War Department will next be heard from through headquarters of the Department of the Lakes, located in Chicago. Until official information is received it will not be known definitely whether a court-martial Is to be ordered. There were intimations yesterday that a libel suit might grow out of the interview, whether there is a court-martial or not. It is said the statements, if untrue, would be injurious to Dr. Huidekoper’s business, and therefore actionable. In an interview in an afternoon paper yesterday the chaplain was quoted as denying that he had ever said Colonel Huidekoper is not a medical practitioner, thus partially repudiating the Sentinel. When asked whether Colonel Huidekoper is now a medical practitioner. Chaplain Carstensen is quoted as replying: “I have never denied that he was. because I do not know, but I have never heard that he was a medical practitioner. A veterinarian, however, is quoted in the News as authority for the statement that he has practiced medicine. The Sentinel attributed to me some infelicitous English for which I am not chargeable, and there were other inaccuracies which, although slight, seem to have been the means of conveying a wrong impression.” The point the Sentinel dwelt on was that Chaplain Carstensen not only said that Col. Huidekoper was a veterinary surgeon, but that he also asserted that the colonel had “never practiced among human beings.” In the Sentinel interview of Thursday the words attributed to Chaplain Carstensen with regard to conditions at Chickamauga Park were: “We found that our corps surgeon, the man who was general-in-chief of the medical sen-ice of 35,000 men, the man who was charged with the immense responsibility of caring for the health and fighting off disease from that many men, was a veterinary surgeon, who had devoted his life to doctoring horses and mules, and had never practiced among human beings.” The above words appeared not only in the local columns of the paper, but were also “played up” on the editorial page. In the entire interview the name of the “horse doctor” was not given. The day following the chaplain, in another alleged interview in the Sentinel, under the caption, “Name of the Horse Doctor,” was quoted as saying that “the veterinary surgeon who was chief medical director of the First Army Corps was Rush S. Huidekoper.” The chaplain was also quoted as saying that his ability in that direction was not questioned, but that it was “a great surprise to us, however, to find him the chief surgeon of our corps.” In the interview in the afternoon paper yesterday, quoted above, the chaplain, who was so “surprised” to find him chief surgeon, admitted that he did not know whether Colonel Huidekoper was a medical practitioner, although, he added, that he “had never heard that he was.” Yesterday morning the Sentinel said the War Department was trying to intimidate the chaplain, but that “the doctor did not ‘take water’ in the least, and ho does not seem to be apprehensive of consequences ” The paper also said: “He refuses to back down and stands by his Interview in the Sentinel.” That was before the afternoon paper appeared. WATERMAN WILL NOT TALK. Everybody in any wise connected with the steps that have been taken by the War Department is keeping his own counsel with regard to what has been and will be done. It has been learned, however, that the communications on the subject were addressed to Lieutenant Waterman, who referred them to proper quarters for such “remarks” as were necessary, and then forwarded them to headquarters when they were returned to him. Lieutenant Waterman yesterday afternoon absolutely refused to say a word with reference to the Carstensen incident Lieutenant Waterman is the mustering officer here and the source through which the War Department acts in its relations with the volunteer army. While still refusing to be interviewed, the officers of the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth Regiment are discussing other points of the chaplain’s interview, which they say were grossly inaccurate, to say the least. In the Sentinel of Thursday he was quoted as saying. for instance, that “there were not enough surgical instruments on hand to open a boil.” Last winter, before the regiments of the National Guard were called out, Governor Mount directed the purchase of three surgical chests. They cost about SI,BOO. They were supplied with very excellent up-to-date instruments. one of these chests was turned over to the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth Regiment, was taken to Chickamauga and has been with the regiment all the time, so that there certainly were plenty of instruments on hand to “open a boil,” the officers say. Further along the chaplain was quoted as saying that “there was no quinine, none of the ordinary every-day remedies such as are in demand in the most common cases of sickness.” The regiment took with it a supply of remedies. At all times the emergency chest was available, officers say, as well as the surgical chest. In discussing the chaplain’s language with reference to the negiect of patients the officers say that his "daily trips to the hospital” were mythical, although he may have visited the hospital once a week. In this connection an incident is recalled. After the division began moving to Knoxville the division hospital was transferred there There was no field hospital. The Sternberg Hospital was available to the regiment under ordinary circumstances. Sometimes it was crowded. Then there were delays in getting the sick located. One evening Dr. Charlton w-ent through the regiment and found eight fever patients that needed attention. They were taken to headquarters, as they could not be properly cared for in their own tents. Colonel Smith, Lieutenant Colonel Thayer, Adjutant Powell and Dr. Jones voluntarily gave up their tents for the use of the sick. They remained up and helped nurse them and look after their comfort until midnight. The next day the sick were sent to the Sternberg hospital. It is charged that Chaplain Carstensen did not give up his tent nor concern himself with the sick on that occasion. With the exception of the surgeon’s tent, which was filled w-ith the medicines and sick supplies, the other headquarters tents were all placed at the disposal of the physicians in this temporary emergency. The chaplain charged that he had seen men at the point of death lying with riles filling their mouth because there was no one to brush them away. Asa matter of fact, the other officers of the regiment say every cot was protected with flynets. There were over a hundred extra nets that were not needed at any time. A staff officer said yesterday that the only thing they ever run short of was night shirts

and that was only for a short time. As soon as the want w-as made known the camp was flooded with night shirts and pyjamas. A Well-Qualified Physician. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Dr. Rush Huidekoper was at the head of the leading veterinary college in the United States in New York city when appointed in the army. He was, however, a graduate of one of the leading medical colleges of Pennsylvania and had been a regular practitioner for many years. He was for a long time connected with the Pennsylvania State Guard as surgeon. He was recommended by Surgeon General Sternberg for appointment as division surgeon. Senators Quay, Penrose and Platt pressed him for a better place, and he was appointed corps surgeon by the President. Dr. Sternberg says Dr. Huidekoper is a well-qualified physician and surgeon. To a direct question, whether he had received complaints about Dr. Huidekoper previous to the charges printed by Chaplain Carstensen, he declined to make reply. Dr. Huidekoper is a brother of Gen. Harry Huidekoper. formerly postmaster of Philadelphia, and a member of a rich and powerful family of northwestern Pennsylvania. Major Hyaell’s Testimony. WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.—Major Hysell, chief surgeon of the Second Division, First Army Corps, now at Camp Poland, Knoxville, in a private letter to the surgeon general of the army, dated Sept. 14, says: “I will say that my opportunity to know the working of the medical department while at Camp George H. Thomas was perhaps as good, if not much better, than that of almost any medical officer on duty there, and I will say that at no time during tho stay in the park was there any difficulty in procuring all necessary medical and hospital supplies, if the proper effort was made.” It is stated that Major Hysell was a surgeon in an Ohio regiment during the civil war, and is a man of wide experience in army medical affairs. Chicknnntnga a Healthy Place. CHICKAMAUGA PARK, Ga„ Sept. 17. In an interview with the Associated Press to-day Major R. Emmett Giffen, surgeon in charge of Sternberg hospital at This place, said: “In my opinion Chickamauga Park is one of the healthiest locations in the entire country that possibly could have been chosen for a great military encampment. I have been here for some time now and 1 have come to the conclusion that no more desirable place could have been found anywhere. The drainage here is good, the lay of the land excellent, the climate mild and desirable, being just what is needed by the troops, and there is not the slightest question in my mind but that Chickamauga Park was originally healthy. Why should it be otherwise? All of the conditions here are conducive to good health and the troops which have been encamped here would certainly have enjoyed good health if the proper care and precautions had been taken to preserve health. The sickness at Chickamauga Park has been caused by the improper and negligent manner in which the sanitary regulations recommended by the army surgeons have been enforced. That is the situation in a nutshell.”

GOVERNOR MOUNT INDIGNANT. He In Mnch Displeased xvltli tbe Carstensen Interview. Tn a conversation with a reporter yesterday Governor Mount expressed himself in no unmistakable terms with reference to the statements contained in the interviews accredited to Chaplain Carstensen. The Governor denounced such actions by an officer toward a brother officer, particularly when the assailant Is a minister of the gospel, and should be the last to throw a stone at another man. The fact is also emphasized that in the case of Carstensen he admits that he has no personal knowledge that the statements he makes are founded on the truth. Governor Mount chareterized the statements as un-Christian-like inasmuch as in an afternoon paper Carstensen admitted that he knew little or nothing of the medical ability of the man he assailed. It was unlike a man in the mind of the Governor to call a reputable practitioner, controlling a large income from that practice, a horse doctor simply because as a side issue he lectured in the veterinary department of the University of Pennsylvania. It is suggested that the chaplain might, with equal truthfulness and charity, call Dr. J. N. Hurty, of the State Board of Health, a dentist, because lie lectures in a local dental college. But the injustice of this attack on a man far removed from Indiana people, sinks Into insignificance in the mind of the Governor by comparison with the equally unjust and untruthful slander on the State officials. In his interview Mr. Carstensen said there were not enough surgical instruments in the corps to open a boil and that the State of Indiana had not allowed the regiment to take with them the medical case assigned to it in the militia service. “This statement,” said the Governor, “is a deliberate falsehood, and entirely without foundation or reason. Not a man in the service can truthfully say that the State of Indiana has not done all that it couid do for the comfort at its soldiers. The chest referred to was taken away with the regiment, and if not used was the fault of the men themselves. The outfit in the chest was the finest collection of surgical instruments that has ever been collected for an army, and there could not possibly have been any emergency that required the use of instruments that could not have been provided for with the instruments in the case.” All the other officials about the Statehouse are equally angry at the chaplain, who, they say, told long tales on his arrival home of his weary vigils watching the sick and tending the djdng. According to the testimony of the officers of the regiment who reported to the state officials, the chaplain was never at the bedside of one dying man of the regiment, and hardly visited the hospital for a few minutes at a time over cr.ce a week. On several occasions a Catholic priest connected with a Wisconsin regiment administered extreme unction to men in the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth Regiment who were supposed to be dying, while Carstensen sat in his tent. REGIMENTS FURLOUGHED. The 158th and 150th Depart from Camp Mount. At 7 o’clock yesterday morning Colonel Harry B. Smith’s Regiment, the One-hun-dred-and-fifty-eighth, and Colonel John G.

Last evening at 7 o’clock occurred the death of Private Clarence C. Wiley, of Company D, Fortville, Ind., One-hundred-and-fifty-eaghth Indiana Volunteer Infantry, at the state hospital at Camp Mount. Death was caused by lobar pneumonia. It is said that Private Wiley had an attack of malarial fever while the regiment was camped at Knoxville and that he left the hospital too soon. Shortly before leaving Knoxville he was out in a heavy rain and became drenching wet. On coming to Camp Mount he was placed in the hospital. The young man was eighteen years of age and is spoken of in the highest manner by Col. Smith. The body was taken in charge by Undertakers Collier & Murphy and will be shipped home this evening. Friends of the dead soldier may view the body today. ! Two brothers of the young man were at the hospital when his death occurred. This is the first death that has occurred among the soldiers at Camp Mount. “All the Comforts of Home.* After his regiment was furloughed yesterday and the boys were on the way home, Col. Harry B. Smith went to his own residence on North Alabama street, prepared to enjoy “all the comforts of home.” A few months of army life makes a man more appreciative of the pleasures of civilization than anything else possibly can. There were some unexpected disadvantages. For instance: The colonel’s clothes would not fit. His waistcoat was several Inches too big. “I’ll have to get everything altered,” said the colonel. “Where’s my hat?” he asked. All his civilian clothes had been carefully put away, and it was not such an easy matter to lay aside the blue uniform as one might imagine. Finally, however, the colonel was ready for a stroll, and he started out thoroughly contented, if not altogether comfortable in clothes that were several sizes too large. Four months in the army have taken off a good many pounds of flesh from most of the volunteer soldiers. Most of them appear to think that this is not such an inconvenience after all, barring the necessity for getting new clothes or waiting to “grow up” to the old ones again. A “Regr’lnr Army Man.” All of the officers of the volunteer regiments who have had dealings with Lieutenant Waterman, the United States army man who is now stationed here as the mustering officer, speak in the highest terms of his courtesy and consideration. Many vexatious questions have arisen with regard to work preliminary to furloughing the regiments. Lieutenant Waterman has been uniformly patient and has done everything within his power to assist the officers. lie has had some very trying duties to perform. About his birsiest day was last Tuesday. It was a bad. fainy day. Lieutenant Waterman had his time pretty fully taken up. Out at Camp Mount the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth was getting camped under difficulties, and down town, six miles away, the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth Regiment was arriving. Those who witnessed Lieutenant Waterman perform the duties of assisting to locate the One-hundred-and-flfty-ninth Regiment and at the same time keep track of the movements of the One-hundred-and-fifty-eighth wondered at his complacent good nature through it all. Furlough fop Signal Corps. The signal corps, under command of Captain C. T. Mclntire, which arrived here from Jacksonville, Fla., Thursday afternoon, was furloughed yesterday for thirty days. A guard of four privates and one noncommissioned officer remained here to guard the government property which was left at camp. The signal corps numbers thirty-eight men. The company records were all up to date, and Lieutenant Waterman approved them. The furlough extends from Sept. 17 to Oct. 17. On the Tatter date all members must report to Capt. Mclntire at Camp Mount or be classed as deserters unless excused on account of sickness by a reputable physician, whose sworn certificate must be sent. Private Kerr’s Fine. Private Charles I. Kerr, of Company I, Bloomington, One-hundred-and-flfty-ninth Indiana Volunteers, who was tried on the charge of insubordination by a general court-martial at Camp Thoroughfare, has been sentenced to pay a fine of $5 and serve five days in the guardhouse. The men say that shortly after the signing of the peace protocol a petition was circulated In Col. Barnett’s regiment asking that the regiment be mustered out of service. Private Kerr took a great deal of interest In circulating the petition. It is rumored about the regiment that the great interest he manifested in getting the petition signed Is the cause of his present predicament. Col. Barnett Is Thankful. Col. John T. Barnett, of the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth Regiment, has issued a special order thanking the Daughters es the Revolution and the Woman’s Relief Corps for the attention they have paid to the regiment, for the bedticks and the other comfortable articles they have furnished to the boys. The colonel says the women furnished the means for good beds and assisted the soldiers in maintaining strength and health.

Captain Allen, who is a veteran of the civil war, has little patience with the critics of the late war. He says their experience was a mere picnic compared with the 60’s. Great Day for Madison.

Now' that a reopening of the Dreyfus case is virtually assured, it is possible that some things, which have heretofore been mysteries, may be explained. It has all along been assumed that the evidence against Dreyfus, however insufficient, legally, it may have been, possessed enough moral weight to convince his fellow officers of his guilt, and that his companions were basing their appeal in his behalf upon the purely technical ground that he had not been convicted strictly according to law. Since, however, one of the most determined defenders of his conviction is proved by his own confession to have fabricated evidence against him, the suspicion is naturally aroused that the whole of the proceedings were also tainted with fraud, and that Dreyfus has been made the victim of an atrocious conspiracy. The question, therefore, arises: What was the motive of securing by foul means the conviction of Dreyfus, and who was benefitted by it? It is not enough to say that he was a Jew, and was, therefore, made to suffer because of the enmity against his race, which, to the disgrace of the French people, is now so rife in France. Nor was it necessary to make an example of somebody in order to deter others in his position from committing the offense with which he was charged. Military men who betray the secrets of their governments are perfectly well aware of the peril they encounter of being disgraced at least, if they are found out, and possibly of being punished as Dreyfus was, and they required no object lesson to inform them of their dange-. There is something, still hidden, needed to account for the venom with which Dreyfus and his defenders were pursued. One of the theories of the case, which has been suggested in a Paris journal. Is that, as often happens, a womar. is at the bottom of the matter. The real culprit, in whose stead Dreyfus has suffered, was, it is said. Major Esterhazy. This man had for a friend the mistress of General Boisdeffre, the officer who engineered the proceedings against both Dreyfus and his champion, Zola. She influenced General Boisdeffre to exculpate Esterhazy, and in order to jffect that, to incriminate Dreyfus. Hence, as soon as the Henry forgery became known, Boisdeffre had to resign his place, and has now retired from the scene. Had the events which we are considering occurred anywhere except in France this explanation would be at once dismissed as too fantastic and far-fetched to deserve serious attention, but, urfortunately. the morality of Frenchmen in high stations is so notoriously perverse and debased, especially where women are concerned, that nothing in the way of sacrificing honor, justice and reputation to satisfy the demands of a dissolute woman, is too monstrous to be credible.

Coolly Swallowed the Dose While Chatting: with n Yoang WomanDied an Hour Later. Harry Wheatley, a young man living at 740 Cleveland street, HaughviUe, swallowed a quantity of morphine last night in Wurtz’s saloon, at 334 West Washington street, and died an hour later at the City Hospital. Mabel Smith, who claimed to ba his cousin, and who was with him when he took the drug, was arrested and charged with being drunk. She says she met Wheatley on the street earlier in the evening and that ha proposed they drink a glaaa of beer. They entered a saloon where the drinks were ordered and set before them. Before drinking his beer Wheatley slipped a small package from his pocket explaining that it was salt and asking the girl if she did not want a little of it. She declined and felt rather uneasy when she saw him empty a portion on his tongue and then take a swallow of beer. He laughed at her and for a moment she says the incident was forgotten. He soon began to get sleepy, however, and they went out on the street where he could get fresh air. He became weaker and they entered a door yard at the corner of Missouri and Court street, where Wheatley dropped on the walk. Physicians were called and the police were notified. The young man was sent to the hospital where every attention was given him without avail, he dying about an hour later.

She suffers almost continually with sick headache. She has pains in the back,what she calls “stitches” tn the side and shooting pains everywhere. She experiences burning and dragging down sensations. She becomes weak, nervous and despondent. She neglects ber home, and is petulant with her husband. If she consults the average physician, there is not one chance in ten that he will hit upon the real cause of her trouble. He will attribute her bad feelings to stomach, liver, heart or nervous trouble. A woman in this condition should consult some eminent and skillful specialist who has had a wide experience. Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invalids’ * Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo. N. Y., has, with the assistance of a staff or able physicians, prescribed tor many thousands of women. He has invented a wonderful medicine for ailing women, known as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. It has stood the test for thirty years. It acts directly on the delicate and important organs concerned in wifehood and motherhood, making them strong and well. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration, soothes pain and tones and builds up the nerves. It transforms weak, nervous women into healthy, happy wives and mothers. •• I was an invalid for over a year with change of life," writes Mrs. C. Smith, of Orr, Cascade Cos..
