Claim the Isolation Hospital As Proposed Will Be Inadequate and Unsatisfactory in Every Respect.

RESOLUTION PASSED AT A MEETING SATURDAY NIGHT Barn That Is to Be Remodeled i Will Be Unsanitary and Too Small, Members of the Medical Staff Declare. The members of the medical staff of Reld hospttal held their regular monthly meeting Saturday night and adopted a resolution that the plans submitted t thtf city council last Wednesday evening by the trustees of the hospital for an isolation hospital for contagious diseases were inadequate a ad unsatisfactory and the members of the hospital medical staff will ask the trustees and the city council to build the isolation hospital on the plans prepared by a committee of physicians on the medical staff, which committee was appointed by the board of trustees. This, committee was appointed some time ago and they promptly prepaied plans for the building. Members of the medical staff claim that after receiving these plans the trustees ignored them and then drew up their own plans, which called for the remodeling of the old stone barn which is just cast of the hospital proper. Without calling upon the members of the medical staff to inspect the plans prepared by the members of the board of trustees, the city council was asked to meet with the trustees and consider their plans. None of the physicians was invited to attend this meting but three or four of them were present. Some of the Objections. Members of the medical staff claim that If the barn is remodeled according to the plans of the trustees, it will be unsanitary and would not accommodate enough patients. The physicians state that the isolation hospital proposed by the. trustees would bo too dark; that there would not be enough ventilation, less than tne required l,OOf cubic feet of air to each room, and that the wards would be entirely too small. The plans prepared by the committee of the medical staff call for the erection of an entirely new building which would be able to accommodate twelve patients. They state that the plans prepared by the trustees only provide for accommodation of four patients. The physicians allege that their plans are in accordance with modern standards and that the building they desire to have built could be erected at less cost than the remodeling of the barn.

RELATIVES OF DONA

OILMAN ARE FREED Grand Jury at Dayton, Ohio, Holds They Were Not Guilty of Murder. IS PROBABLY AT AN END. CASE PROMISES TO GO ON ORD AS ONE OF THOSE WHICH NO REASONABLE RECFOR EX PLANATION CAN BE SECURED. Dayton, O., Nov. 9 After concluding an investigation, which has covered a period of time extending from the atrocious murder of Dona Gilman, the pretty National Cash Register girl in this city several months ago, the grand jury today found not guilty, the mother of the murdered girl and her brother and sister, who were accused of the crime. me ctti itiauira ui tut; ucau gin were shortly after the deed was committed, arrested, being suspected of having had a hand in the death. Preliminary investigations freed them of the charge. Later on the advice of the coroner, they were re-arrested. Their release today probably closes the case and the murder of Dona Gilman will be registered on police dockets as an unsolvable mystery. The beautiful stfrl's death will certainly go unavenged and the murder unpunished for the present at least. The case created more excitement than any that has occurred in the criminal court in the history of the city. A few days following the mur der, aoy Dave curtis, a weak mmd - ed man of this city, confessed to the crime, furthermore alleging he had committed criminal assault. On reliable evidence that he was not the man, authorities heeded not his harmless prattle and he was released. Soon another man, a negro, confessed to the deed. He too, being an imbecile, suffering with fevered imagination, was released. The freeing of the mother, sister and brother of Dona Gilman is generally warmly welcomed in Dayton. It has been asserted by many here that the three near relatives were entirely innocent of the charge. During their confinement they protested innocence of the charge placed against them, !

Much of It Is Being Fed to

Swine in the Hope of Getting a Profit From That Source. FLY MAKES APPEARANCE IN THE WHEAT FIELDS. But Little Corn Is Being Cribbed and It Is Not Likely the Work of Gathering Will Be gin in November. (By Walter S. Ratliff.) The corn crop of the present year is not as satisfactory as at first thought. Farmers generally are feeding the grain to swine, hoping that the pres ent low prices will soon soar and they may thereby realize more handsomely tuan if the corn were sold outright. Some farmers have been caught by drop in hog quotations and expect corn to drop likewise. The prospects for next year's grain crop are exceptionally good. Indications point to a record-breaking yield. The fly has made its appearance in the wheat in some localities, but this generally is not feared. A banner yield of fruit is expected in VMS, as the lull this year in a way rested fruit bearing trees and canes, to such an . extent as to give them strength. . Perhaps the most important consideration given any phase of farming at this time, is that of gathering corn and feeding swine. The lateness in the ripening or seasoning of new corn, has delayed cribbing to such an extent as to create doubt in the minds of the farmers as to the best method to pursue in disposing of it. Some farmers already have begun to gather their standing corn, sorting it as it is being placed in the crib. Th. best grade of course, is placed there for later use, the other is hauled to the rail pens in fields, and is being fed to both cattle and swine. This, owing to the late ness of its seasoning, has created an enormous supply of feed, which to a large extent is attributed to the present slump in prices of swine. No doubt many feeders will be caught in this dropping price, and they will not realize anything or enough in the gain of their hogs to compensate them for their corn, that they have consumed in putting the porkers in marketable condition. It has been suggested that tne loss in figures Is due principally to the large number of hogs being thrown on the markets of the western states. This market has glutted the shipping centers and caused a slump throughout the middle west. At present, however, feeders in this immediate locality are not disposed to be in any hur ry in parting with their porkers at present prices, and with the hope that corn will come down proportionately m price, an effort will be made to hold the hogs until later, ready for holiday deliveries Little Corn Cribbed. But little corn is being cribbed, especially that from fields where the j grain had not matured sufficiently be fore the early frosts, and it is not likely that corn gathering will begin in earnest during November. Although the general appearance of the wheat fields in this section ts most satisfactory, yet upon a closer examination it is feared that a different aspect will be presented. From an examination of the earlier sown plats of the government experiment stations it is found that from ten to fourteen per cent of tne total number of plants in given areas were affected by the fly. wticii. li general, would mean a verv serious disaster to our farmers ! through the country Tt is hoped, rdats. or nowever mat later sown those sown after September are not

The Hoosier, a Democratic

Paper, Has Good Words for The Richmond Candidate For Governor. HE WILL CALL FOR A NEW DEAL ALL AROUND. It Is Predicted That on the First Ballot He Will Receive The Largest Individual Vote Issue Is Clear Cut. iThe H nosier.) There is absolutely no questkm hut that prohibition sentiment is making; great strides throughout the country. Whether or not the time has arrived for serious consideration of this ques tion, in the legislature, remains with the people, but it is certain that tem perance reform advocates are now niffre stirred to action than ever before. It is with such an Idea as that ex pressed above that the Rev. Thomas H. Kuhn of Richmond has got into the race for the democratic "nomina tion to be governor. Kev. Kuhn made for himself an enviable reputation as a hustler aud able campaigner in his race against the Hon. James E. Wat son, Republican, to he representative from the Sixth Indiana district in Con gress. Kunn gave Watson the race of his life and Watson's entrance Into the gubernatorial contest, on the republican side, Is credited by many of Kuhn's friends to the reverend gentleman. It is said that throuph Ms narrow escape from defeat, Watson concluded that his days would soon be numbered as an available man to represent his district and that It was well for him' to look to the future. Mr. Kuhn expects to make things uiHt as interesting for Watson In tho gubernatorial contest should they both, be nominated by their respective parties, but expects a different c inclusion. He bases bis belief In the fact that Watson Is not nearly as strong throughout the state as he is in bis own district, that the whole state Is not republican by any such proportion, as Is the Sixth district, and that the principles which he advocates ars more appealing to the people of Indi ana, than are those espoused by Watson or other republican candidates. Reverend Kuhn has the solid of hi district. There is not even a hint that any one else Is ambitious to get Into the contest. He has started into the campaign for gubernatorial honors in the same energetic manner that he went after the congressional election, and there is no doubt that be will be a strong factor in the nominating convention. It is upon the temperance proportion that Mr. Kuhn expects to get results. He believes that there are enough democratic advocates of temperance in Indiana to secure his nomination. He feels certain, if nominated, that with the democratic temperance advocates and those from othr parties, his election is assured. It U certain that the hypothesis or Mr. Kuhn is not without foundation when, it is considered that local option has won more victories In demacratlo It has been true that the democratic party in Indiana has suffered, as have every other political party, from conflict between individuals desiring authority in party councils. At the 1 present time the party is freer from jsuch unsatisfactory conditions than la alman earB' uul Mr- riun" "P18 l It aPPal to the for a deal all around. ne win inane me piea iiiai. the party must not be allowed to slip back into former conditions, but must forge to the front along new lines. These lines will be indicated by the minister as he prosecutes his campaign tor the nomination. Particular advantages accrues to Mr. Kuhn in that he has come out with & 'lean cut issue. It is a "take it or leave it"' proposition with him; there can be no straddling of the fence. On this account his following will be defi--Ite as 'HI his opposition.
