MANY ARE INDEBTED NEW LAW, - THE CAUSE Property Owners Forget That They Have to Make a Special trip to City Treasurer's Office to Pay for Improvements. Owing to the fact that all city taxes are now payable to the county treasurer, under the existing statute, there are many times property owners who are indebted to the city for improvements and whs have taken out waivers under the Moore law, who neglect to go to the city hall and pay the treasurer. In former years they were accustomed to making improvement settlements ,at the time they paid their city taxes, but now a special trip to the city treasurer's office is necessary. City Treasurer Johnson who has been extremely careful to see that property owners shall be no tified when for any cause they fail to make payments on improvements, is now reaping the benefit of notices sent out. Many payments are being made and there are comparatively few delinquents aside from those persons whose taxes also are delin quent. Badly Hurt by a Fall. B. F. Jewett, a prominent Hagerstown citizen, slipped and fell upon the ice Thursday and . was very severely injured. No bones were broken, but it was thought for a time that paralysis might result He was improved yesterday. NOTICE.

MAKES A REPORT FOB DISSENTERS

Dr. Thurston Tells of the Meeting of First District' Medical Association. WAS HELD AT MUNCIE FREE USE OF KNIFE WAS NOT COMMENDED AND ESPECIALLY WAS IT FOUND OBJECTIONABLE IN MANY CASES OF APPENDICITIS. Dr. J. M. Thurston of this city, as chairman of the Press Committee of the First District Medical Association, has submitted the following re port of the Association's recent meeting which was held at Muncie "A meeting of the First District Medical Association was held at the Delaware Hotel, Muncie, Dec. 26 1906. This Association may be .prop erly called dissenters from the es tabhshed church of medicine. The discussions were spirited though har monious. The broad and liberal views of the various members made it apparent that these men are no narrow minded fanatics, but make a candid comprehensive view of the healing art The different diseases discussed as furnished by the pro gram, showed that they were not only unusually well up in diagnosing dis ease, but the methods of treatment encompassed every known method, of treating the sick, including diet and hygeine to' which they seem to give special attention. "For instance, "appendicitis, when should it be operated upon," while it was held necessary in some cases that the knife be used, yet It was shown in the relation of the expert ence of the various members that more cases got well who were not op erated upon than that were, yet this fact is no criterion that in many cases the knife is not the very best thing. It was the general opinion that the objective conditions of each individual case .must be the only guide to the careful conscientious physician, that the symptoms were as a rule misleading unless interpreted aright in their relation with the ac tual conditions; and especially any arbitrary signs and symptoms frequently given so much significance by the books. The motto of this As sociation is: "Advanced medical edu cation along the lines of a higher and more sacred regard for the vital integrity of the living bddy, and the sanative treatment of the sick." While it was the general belief of the Association that the State should exercise the very strictest censor ship over medical education and require the highest standard of scien tific and practical efficiency in the treatment of the sick and that our common schools, high schools, colle ges, literary and scientific universities combined afforded the prospec tive student of medicine ample requi site foundation for' his professional training; and in as much as medicine directly involves an unknown and unknowable problem that of the es sence of life itself; seeing that we are material and the life-entity is immaterial, it is simply a physical impossibility for human knowledge to fath om the problem of life-entity, so that medicine has to do with the phenomena of life only, that is the physical manifestations of life as observ ed and studied in the living material body; , and to this problem being re vealed to man through God's Holy Temple, the living body, and thus made knowable, the science of med icine should occupy itself entirely, and not attempt to fuse with liter ature, the physical and mechanical sciences. Universities should circularize only as such, and medical collges should keep strictly within their provence, having quite enough to oc cupy themselves with the proper treatment of the sick, the natural history of disease, and effective sanita tion. . The unanimity with it was agreed that any and all reputable means and methods of combatting disease should be admissable to the general practice of medicine no matter what or where its origin, evidenced an era of broadness and liberality not usual with medical societies.

ANOTHER MINING

COMPA

FORMED

Local Men to Take up Claims in Northern California and Work Them. SAID TO BE PRODUCTIVE L. B. KILLIAN OF BISHOP CAU IN THE CITY PROMOTING THE PROJECT OFFICERS TO BE RICHMOND MEN. - ' L. B. Killian of Bishop, Cal.. who holds several mining claims in the Casa Diablo mining district in northern California, which is considered one of the best mining districts in that State, is in the city to interest local capitalists in the development of the claims, which has held for the past five years, "but has never had the means to develop them as they should be. A local company is being organized and will furnish means for the development of Mr. Killian's claims, as the local men after deliberation are firmly convinced that they are worth working. The company will take out papers of incorporation and officers elected in the near .future. It is probable that all the officers of the neW company will be Richmond men th the exception of Mr.. Killian who ow owns the properties. In speaking of the claims of Mr. Killian, the Inyo Register, published at Bishop, Cal., says: "L. B. -Killian Is now in the East to organize a company to develop his claims in Casa Diablo mining district. The group of claims adjoins the Casa Diablo property, for which the outlook is so flattering, and there Is no apparent reason why the Killian property should not be equally valuable. It comprises ten claims, each showing two or more veins. Some of them have rich ore shoots in sight Mr. Killian has done some work, on the property but has now reached a point where he needs assistance. While he had opportunities for local assistance he realized that only a limited amount of capital could be secured here and that it , would be probably better to call on the East for ample funds. A number of citizens have spoken for stock in the new company having faith in the value of the mines. "The situation of the group is favorable, with wood, water and . powcf available, all factors in cheap and profitable mining." DEATH OF MILTON WOMAN Mrs. George B.
