City Health Authorise lBYe'atlffatlnc: m, Perlosa Condition In an Eaat Eleventh-Street Home. The city Board of Health Is Investigating pgculiar case in which. It is alleged, several members of a family are at death's door because of their refusal to take medicine or allow a physician to prescribe any. Tl family is that of Harry S. Browning, of 1X1 East Eleventh street. Some time ago the mother, daughter and little son becatno ill with typhoid fever and Dr. Fremont Swain was called to attend the little "boy. who became worse, however, and died after a few days. Later the mother and daughter became alarmingly worse and Dr. Brown, of Brightwood, was also called in. He prescribed the usual standard remedies for such things and had the case well in hard when the parents of the family, who ro Seventh-day AdventLsts, suddenly disraisfcd him, and, after destroying the medicines he left, announced that thereafter they proposed to get well without the aid of medicine. The Dispensary physician who was sent to investigate the case by Dr. Clark, the city sanitarian, found that a physician named Leach, a graduate of the Adventist eanltarlum at Battle Creek, Mich., had been idven charge of the case and was treating both mother and daughter by dieting them and using cold water and wine freely mixed with prayer, the wine being designated as an 'antiseptic." The attention of the board had been directed to the case fcy reishbors, who said tho patients were rot being treated except by prayers and were In u critical condition. The report of the Dispensary physician was that Dr. Leach was not prescribing medicines, but that his treatment was sanctioned by the family. Aftt-r hearing the report Dr. Clark decided that Inasmuch as Dr. Leach was rot prescribing medicine and was there at the request of the family the Board of Health was powerless to do anything, as it could not leg.tlly compel anv person to bo treated by any certain physician of any particular school. All it could do. he said. wcu!d be to prevent unregistered ph$lcjans from prescribing medlcir.es. . MOLDER ROSS'S SUICIDE !Took Carbolic Aeltl In the Prenenre of Ills Friend.

BECOMING A STAMPEDE

KVCRYTIIIXG INDICATES A IlEFl'llLICAX LANDSLIDE OCT lO. TnKtcnrt lift, o rientlfnl Ten Days Ako, l)lniienr The Meeting The stampede to the Republican ?ide of thft municipal campaign, which began last week,, has been one of tho most unusual events In local politics in many years. Oldtime politicians fay there has been nothing like It before. The great accessions to the Republican ranks and the complete demoralization of the Tajfgart organization have becoire so patent to voters that the approaching defeat of the mayor is mentioned even with a degree of pity. Ten days ago his managers were smiling In confidence, and offering biff odd on their candidate. Yesterday there wasn't a Taggart bet to be found on any of the betting boards, while offers on Bookwalter were without takers. Despite the assertions of the afternoon organ which hasn't had time yet to get all its limbs on the band wagon. Chairman Joseph Fanning, of the Democratic committee, has been deposed to all intents and purposes, as stated in the Journal yesterday. As announced, Mr. Fannlng's name is being signed to all circulars, and he is at the committee room, but Assistant City Attorney Bell la the real man in charge. The change was made in the faint hope of retrieving the day, which is going 50 strongly against the Democratic managers. As in the last Sullivan campaign, the Democrats have raised an immense sum to scatter widecast, but they are finding dlfllculty in placing it where it will do any good. There is too much secret disaffection that cannot be reached by money. A well-known Democrat said yesterday that it was unaccountable to him. why tho Germans, many of whom had heretofore supported Taggart, were almost o!!J1y for Bookwalter. He realized, as ?c franl;ly admitted, that cci.Jiiiou ;.?'. 1; but ho I'tzzUA to kroTj ; ' H vna ftufrg'3t"l t!at.ih ftrk l..'.v' was a prominent fa f r 'r causing : tr abandon TaggaTt, Iu - paid h 'imjV. svobafciy the. deal.- wer ro5?ible. A traltin tho German Ch irac ttr !." oconomy. The German cannot w why Mr.' Taggart wasted the city's mcrxj on fictitious prices for lands owned by Ms friends, when any citizen might have bc-t-ht those lands at much lower price. The Tijgart managers have Just begun to reahzthat the large number of Republican vote. wnicn have gone to the mayor In his pre ceding campaigns are not going to hlra this year. Mr. Bookwalter has made a clean campaign, has Impressed people that lie knows what he is talking about, and is personally jU3t as popular as Mr. Taggart, m there Is no reason for the Republicans to neg'ect their own candidates this year, as mey aici two years ago. I. THE SEVENTH WARD. Sir. Bookwalter Will Be No Prr to the Gas Meter Scheme. The- Republicans of the upper precincts of the Seventh ward gathered last night at Hammond's Hall, Massachusetts avenue and New York street. The meeting was ruled by the sentiment that Is becoming more and more general that the Republican ticket will be swept to victory by a great majority of votes. William H. Schmidt was chairman of the meeting. Mr. Bookwalte?, though hoarse from much speaking, deliv ered a strong address. He said the Demo crats were preparing to circulate a incllclous statement next week that the Republicans intended to force gas meters intc the homes of the city if the party wero successful at the coming election. He added that tho gas-meter question was not an Issue in the election, and the Republicans might as consistently be charged with in tending to close up the bridges and the market house. However, he declared that if elected he would not be a party to any scheme to force meters into homes to make natural gas twice as exDensive as it la now and -reserve for the few that which God put into the ground for the use of the many." Mr. Bookwalter read a statement nrlnted in one of the newspapers showing the differ ence etween the street-department-ray rolls of this fall and the same time last year, when there was no campaign on. He pointed out tnat Mayor Taggart has been spending from JG0O to X1.000 a week of tht; city's funds for the benefit of gangs of men wnose votes are necessary to help him in nis tnira race ror mayor. Mr. Book, waiter quoted the commissioner of streets. who said it was a "well-known fact that the expense of keeping up the streets was heavier in the spring and fall than at other seasons," and added that this statement was flimsy, because it did not show whv the expense of cleaning the streets should be greater this fall than last fall. Mr. Bookwalter also made it clear that In reducing the tax levy from TO cents to 60 cents Mayor Taggart was either trying to hoodwink the people until It was necessary to make temporary loans or was admitting that the additional taxation last year was unnecessary. Mayor Taprgart had made track elevation a joke In this campaign. Mr. Bookwalter sald. He -told how the Democratic platform had declared for track elevation, and how two weeks afterward Mayor Taggart had, said he would "consider the matter anew in all its details after election." "After he has signed the ordinance for track elevation," Mr. Bookwalter paid, "Mayor Taggart says he is 'willing to consider with railroads any and all plans to save life.' " Mr. Rookwalter said that, if elected, he would see that no halt was made in the im provement of the park lands. In speaking or the charge that Mayor Taggart bougnt the park lands from a syndlcato of his personal and political friends for twice their value. Mr. Bookwalter pointed out that Mr. Taggart's only defense was that some one else had bought park land for twice its value twenty-six years before. In cocvluslon Mr. Bookwalter said that if the Republicans did their duty and saw to It that their neighbors voted as we 11 as them selves the party would be victorious by 7..0TX) majority. Henry Spiegel, the ward's Itepubllcan candidate for Council, an'l David K. Partlow spoke in avor of organization and zeal in the campaign. All the speakers and tho audience were confident that the result would be happy. 3IASOMC-HALL HALF FILLED. The Most Extensively Advertised Democratic Meeting; Flssles. Although the Democratic meeting at Ma. sonic Hall last night was extensively advertised about the city yesterday, the hall was but little more than half filled when John W. Holtzman called the crowd to order. Mr. Holtzman, with two or three other orators, entertained the crowd until the arrival of Mayor Taggart and Alonzo Greene Smith. Mr. Holtzman was much annoyed, and the crowd was not a little amused, at the Interruptions of an elderly gentleman with a distinctly Celtic cast of countenance, who appeared to be an ardent admirer of "Tammy" Taggart and his administration. He usually punctuated Mr. Holtzman's telling sentences with some outburst which caused the crowd to laugh. Notwithstanding the assertion of ex President Prescott. of the International Typographical Union, that Mr. Bookwalter has done nothing to offend either the printers or the painters, Mr. Holtzman made much of the story that the Republican candidate employed nonunion painters on a new house that he built. Ex-President Prescott is a Democrat, but he claims to be a fair-minded man. Mr. Holtzman made the assertion that Mayor Tasrgart's majority in tho coming election will be 2.W0 greater than It was in 107. Mayor Taggart spoke for half an hour and devoted the time to "booming" his own administration. Alonzo Greene Smith denounced tho gas companies and paid his compliments to the Indianapolis News. He said the News was a paper of "great personal distinction." The remarks of the several speakers led to a number of after-comment.. "Well. 1 like those stories about Bookwalter having his house built and painted by scabs," remarked a painter. "And that was about eight years ago. too. Why. Ju.t !at June 1 and Tom Todhunter and BUI Kenton. Harry Morris and Dan Dano and Will Scull and a man named Sunnyflcld and one or two other fellows woikcd for four wc.Uj at

the Grand Hotel, painting up the place and decorating, and Tom Tageart's money paid the bill. None of us belong to the union. I don't see what license they have to talk about scab labor. Why, about a month ago Dan Dane and Miles Benbow painted the Tagpart place, rlht In the rear of the Grand. Tajrgart owns that, and Dane and the other fellow don't belong to any union.' MAYOR AT BR1GHTYVOOD.

He AVns Too Hoarse lo Mnke .Mnch of a Speech. The First ward Democrats held a meeting last night in a small halt on Station street, formerly used as the "town hall" of Brightwood before that part of the city was annexed. William Pollard was chairman of tho meeting and distributed cigars among the crowd, which soon had the atmosphere of the place hazy with smoke, so thick that tho ppeakers could hardly be seen on the! platform. Chairman Pollard introduced Councilman Smith as the first speaker. He "Jollied" th crowd until the arrival of Mayor Taggart, who was so hoarse that he had to excuse hlmse'f after thrusting a few uncomplimentary remarks at the Journal. L. D. Bunting Text okayed to speak, but was nearly choked by the cljrar smoke and haxl to give way to William Daly, candidate for police Judge, who told the crowd that if they would cart their ballots on election day for Mr. Taggart they would be suro to enjoy nn improved street car system and that streets would be improved, but his remarks were lost In tho crowd, for a couple of drummers stood in front of the hall and beat an incessant noise that worried the speakers. After Mr. Daly had finished speaking loud calls wero made for Albert Zoarlng, who apologized for being taken unawares, as he had not come to make a speech, but finished by telling them of the improvements that were in sight for Brightwood. ; THIRD YVAHD ENTHUSIASTS. Centennial Hall on North Illinois Street, "Was Crowded Last Meht. An enthusiastic Republican meeting was held last night In Centennial Hall, at Sixteenth and Illinois streets, for the benefit of tho Republican voters of the Third ward. The hall was 50 well filled that many were standing in the rear of the hall, unable to secure seats. The meeting was called to order by Harry S. New'; and IV. P. FIshback presided. Speeches were made by Representative Ovcrstre?t. W. N. Harding. J. C. Adams. A. A. Barnes and Oran Perry. The talks were all largely along the line of directing attention to the necessity of strong precinct organizations. Another open meeting will bo held in the same place next i?naay nignt. rrobahly o Votlnt? Machines.

The Indianapolis News has come out in favor of a change in the governmenf of that city on the general ground that it is a good Iftea. to chase the old hen off the nest, when she has been "setting" overtime, to see vhpther there are anv rotten eggs In It. To an outsider it seems that Indianapolis should ei'r:er make a change now or elect Tareart rnavor for life. Richmond Pal ladium. The Indianapolis campaign is being watched with keen Interest by Republicans and Democrats in all parts of tho State. It ha a. rrfjit deal more than a local slgnlfl eanee. If Taesrart should be elected it will make him the Democratic candidate for Oovprnor. with, all his corrupt methods and his Indianapolis ring behind him. He has been elected mayor twice by the help of Republican votes, and It is Denevea tnat no win not receive their support this time. Colum bus Republican. ' If the Indianapolis Republicans expect In future any favors or even mercy at. the hands of the country Republicans they will elect their candidate for mayor. They have the vote3 to do this thing and there is no excuso for them not doing it. The country Republicans have never been selfish in tho matter of honoring Indianapolis Republic ans, but If the interests of the party in Indiana are to bei Jeopardized by treachery in the approaching municipal election, it is safe to say that In Republican conventions for several years to come the announcement of a Marlon county candidate will be the s'.ganl for tho meat ax. Crawfordsville Journal. TWO FIREMEN SUSPENDED. Chief Barrett Declines to Make Pabllo the Charges. It was learned yesterday that Chief Barittt, cZ the flro department, had suspended Thomas McOuat and Albert Kenyon from the service. Mr. Barrett was asked for par ticulars regarding the suspensions and he aid: "I susnended them yesterday," and then tho following convention took place: "Whv were they suspended. "For an infraction of the rules of the der.nrtmenr " "What were the particular charges against th men?" "Well, I do not care to say. It was for a violation of the rules." "Will they be reinstated?"' "I think not." "Then why should tho charges not be clven out?" "I think for the good of the department they should bo kent unlet." Chief Barrett declined to further enlighten tho inquirer.

NEW STOCKYARDS OPEN

FOUTY-FOUU CARLOADS COMPRISED THE FIRST DAY'S BUSINESS. The Firms Occupying Qnarters All lint One of the Twenty Commission Offices Taken. At S o'clock yesterday morning the Inter state Stockj-ards wero thrown open for busi ness. The opening was informal, occurring without a celebration of any Kind. President D. P. Erwin. of the stock company, with other officers of the association, spent the morning in inspecting the grounds and the pens and explaining the arrangements and the advantages of the plans to the stockmen who were present. The officials of the com pany claim that there is no similar yards in the country in which more modern improve ments and conveniences havo been Intro duced. Eight acres of ground are covered by the stock pens, the entire area being raved throughout with brick. The pens arc all covered, protecting the animals not only from the inclement weather of the winter time, but from the effects of the hot sun in the summer month3. Leading from one end to the other of the big building arc two foot-bridges running high above the pens. so as to afford the prospective purchaser a fair opportunity to examine the animals before he determines to make his purchases. Two roadways, eighteen feet wide, lead through the yards, one forming the main entrance to the inclosure and tho other winding through tho pens from tho cast side of the yards to the west. Six acres on the cast Hide are being held in reserve, to that the yards may be extended as the busi ness may require. Mr. Erwin expressed the opinion that tho yards would likely bo extended at once. A belt road around tho yard connects the track of the pTant with the Indianapolis Belt line. The pens are all under roof and the streets and alleys of the yards are all paved with brick or block on a concrete base. These streets, as well as the floor of every pen, are to be swept dally. Tho sheep pens, which have an ac commodation for 3.C0O sheep, are in the second story. The hog pens arc directly below the sheep pens and are commodious in character. As now arranged, the yards can handle 10 cars of hogs, with a separate pen for each car, while there are seventy-eight pens for lots smaller than a carload, to be used as sorting pens. Of cattle pens there are ten of two-car capacity, six of three-car capacity and eighty-six onecar capacity pens. ' Then tnere are thir ty small pens to be utilized for retail busi ness. The arrangements for unloading wagon hogs are complete. The arrange ments for unloading and reloading the cars aro quite novel. While stock is being loaded into one car for shipment the stock in a car just received can be unloaded into the pen being vacated. The yards are provided witn three sets of large-size Falrbank scales. 4Sx H feet. There are sixteen of the double unloading chutes, or an actual chute ca pacity of thirty-two cars. The combined ca pacity or tne yards is two hundred cars dally. The company proposes to build two barns and establish horse auction sales similar to those of the old yards. THE FIRST DAY'S BUSINESS. From the time that tho yards were thrown open to business the grounds and olfices wero thronged with visitors, commission men and farmers. By 3 o'clock there had been over two hundred applications for cm ployment, and the clerks were kept so busy that no time for luncheon was afforded them. In the big office the carpenters were still at work, and the two telephone companies, as well as the Western Union ana the Postal Telegraph companies, were placing their Instruments." Manager Tolin was gratified with -tho buslriess transacted tot the opeijlng day. During the day forty-four carloads of stock were received. Seventeen double-decked cars and four single-decked cars loaded with hogs, thirteen. carloads or cattle and ten loads of stock purchased by local dealers were sent out durine the dav. Manager Tolin eaid that, although the price or nogs is higher in lndianapoiis than in Chicago, every hog in tho yards could be easily disposed of. busy scene during the entire day. An American flag floated from- Its staff, while anotner was waved to the breeze over a more distant part of the yards.

TUC GRADE-CROSSING DRAGON unriUL LHUOOUIU lnnuuil This Time a Child Is Sacrificed Train Crew's Peculiar Conduct. - Bennie Doran, nine years of age, living with his parents at 2206 Sheldon street, while returning from school yesterday afternoon was run over by a cut of cars on tho Lake Erie & Western tracks at Twentieth street and Instantly killed. As far as could be learned, he and several other boys were crossing the tracks, when a Monon train was seen approaching tho crossing from tho south. The boys ran across the Monon track and watched it go by, and then turned onto the Lako Erie & Western track, when the lad was caught by a cut of cars which was slowly backing down. Detectives Gerber and Morgan were a short distance away and hurried to tho place, finding that two wheels of a car had passed over the boy's body, which was pinned down by another wheel, which had passed partly over him. Tho engineer. Frank Miller, and the fireman, Bert Rlgsby, were standing by and making no attempt to get the lad out from under the wheel, it is claimed. The detectives immediately demanded that the car be moved so tho body might be taken out, and the engineer replied that he would not do so until tho coroner arrived. Gerber and Morgan then disclosed their identity and again demanded that the car be moved. They say it was done reluctantly. The boy was dead when taken from under the car, and it was found that his spine had been broken, but the flesh had not been cut by the wheels. The body was taken into the flagman's shanty, and it was some time before the bey was identified, a sister finally appearing on tho pcene. The father is a tinner and could not be found. The mother was away from home. Tho train crew knew nothing of the accident until its attention was called to the lad under the wheels. VESPER SERVICE ABANDONED Second Preshy tcrlnn Church Returns to the Night Sessions. The Second Presbyterian Church has decided to return again to night services, in stead of holding vesperd at 4 o'clock in the aftcrnocn on Sunday. When the church abandoned its Sunday night services several other' congregations followed its example and it was expected this change would be popular over tho city. In not every Instance, however, wero the crowds as large in the afternoon as formerly in the evening. During the fall and winter season the Second Presbyterian Church will have Sunday night services, and it may return to the vesper services next summer. The Indianapolis Presbytery will hold Its fall session Tuesday night and Wednesday morning at the Second Church. Policeman's Property Recovered. The district patrolmen on Madison avenue, while patrollng their beat Thursday night, saw three men with a buggy and team. Their actions were suspicious, and the policemen decided to Investigate. As soon as the policemen got close enough to be seen the three men ran, leaving the rig, which was taken to a stable on South Meridian street. The harness was yesterday identified-as the property of Patrolman

Manning and had been stolen from his barn. The horses have not yet been iden-tllied.

CHASED AN HONEST MAN. Deputy Marshal Boyd's Lone Run as Result of a Joke. Deputy United States Marshal Lon Boyd ran a mile after a supposed blccle thief at noon yesterday and returned to hi3 starting place to find that he had wasted his breath and energy merely to carry out one of John Foley's jokes. Both deputies wero passing through Court street, between Pennsylvania and Meridian streets, and, it being a chilly daj. they stepped into a doorway to getto get warm. Boyd had Foley's bicycle and intended to ride home on it. He leaned it up a&ainst the side of the building before he and Fol3y entered the door. Foley recalled to Boyd's mind that his wheel had been stolen frcm the same place several months before, and Boyd, in hiy anxiety to avoid a similar occurrence, continually went to the window to look at the wheel. When Foley, and Boyd had been sufficiently warned and had bought cigars they passed out into the biting air once more, cheerful and chipper. They decided to separate. Boyd then bethought himself that it would be nice to smoke while riding home on Foley's wheel and turned back to light his cigar. Foley, being cheerful and chipper, grabbed the bicycle as soon as Boyd had gone within doors and dashed around tho corner with it. He went Into the side door of the place with the wheel at the same time Boyd passed out the front door. Foyd haw that the wheel liad disappeared, and hs saw a man on a bicycle turning the corner. Ho surmised that tho man had stolen tho bicycle. Foley, he supposed, had left the place. He hurried after the man on the bicycle. The man was riding at a good gait, tut Boyd thought ho could catch 1 im by sprinting. ' Pursued and pursuer passed through the alley to Market street, thence to Fer.rsyivania street, thence to Massachusetts avenue. Boyd held his wind vell and was determined not to give up. After three squares running up Massachusetts avenue, however, Boyd began to glance from side? to s4de for assistance. He called to a man on a bicycle and said: "D'ye see that fellow going there? Ho stole that wheel. Ride up and catch him." The wheelman took after the thief and caught him within a square. Boyd, who continued trotting after, expected the two wheelmen to stop, but instead, after a short conversation, they rode on side by side and were soon lost to view in the crowd of vehicles. Boyd gavo up and caught a car going down town. He was angry and breathless. He dropped off the car at Court street and returned to the place where ho had left Foley. There he found a group of business men laughing and guying him, and the wheel was safe. , PROSPERITY HURTS HIM. The Barber Shop Proprietor Complains of the Good Times. "This is the dullest time I have ever known in my business," remarked the proprietor of a barber shop on Meridian street yesterday. Several customers expressed surprise that complaint should como from any quarter during this season of prosperity. "That's just it," replied the barber. "Prosperity hurts my business that is, general prosperity. When times are bad and customers are few, merchants have time to get shaved. Now, with the stores full of people and the factories running overtime, men cannot spare a few minutes to get their faces scraped. Some of them let their Leards grow, to save the twenty minutes every other day which they usually spend in a barber shop. As I said, it's prosperity that kills my business." DECLINES ALL INVITATIONS. Senator Beverldgre Finds He Can Make o Speeches This Fall. Senator Beveridge yesterday declined an invitation to speak at the ceremonies attending the laying of the cornerstone of the Chicago federal building, an occasion which the Chicago people are to mako much of. The senator has found it necessary on account cf m ey ing private business and public matter? to ciecline all invitations to mako addresses, many of which have been pouring in on him in the last few days. A West Side Roys Club. Tho Meridian-street M. E.

THE UNION TRUST COMPANY Offices Nos. US & (Company's Building) East Market Street Will Act as Security on Bonds Inquired by Law, 'Wlthin a few years past trust companle have been incorporated in many States, enabling executors, administrators, curators, guardians, etc., to assume their trusts upon giving the bond or guarantee of a company organized and chartered to this end. The rapid increase In the number of these corforatlons, the readiness with which Ftate egislatures give them legal rxHtenco (they are recognized by law In California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia. Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Massachusetts Michigan. Missouri, Nebraska. New Jersey, New York. Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Wisconsin and, perhaps, other States), and the favor which they enjoy at the hands of the puhllc, are sufficient evidence that they meet a deeply felt want and offer a remedy for a grievous evil. Giving bond for faithful and proper administration of estates held in trust is by them reduced to a business question, and no longer involves the hazard of ruin to confiding and generous friends and their families; honest, capable business men are enabled to assume the management of trust estates without plating themselves under galling obligations to bondsmen, the contemplation of which has hitherto deferred! the very best class of men from becoming trustees. No class of persons will hall with) profounder justification the success of these corporations than courts of testamentary Jurisdiction, as furnishing men with th most efficient assistance in protecting the interest of those over whom their Jurisdiction extends."
