HOSPITAL CASE TO BE OPENED AGAIN

Chairman Bavis of Former Probe Committee Brings Question to Council. r Tonight the following communlcaHlon will be presented to council by A. I Bavis, who was chairman of the comtmlttee 'appointed by -council to investigate conditions existing at the Reid- ! Memorial hospital: Gentlemen: If the committee apfpointed to investigate the affairs of the Reid Memorial hospital has not been officially discharged I should be 'glad to have the stenographic notes, containing the evidence of witnesses ! examined, now in the possession of the I City Clerk, turned back to me so the i committee can be reconvened, with jthe end in view of giving the fullest j publicity to such evidence. Mr. Rupe, as representing the Board I of Trustees, has felt Justified in offeri lng some criticisms to our . findings .and recommendations with an inferential charge of unfairness on our part. In so far as Mr. Rupe states that 'the Board of Trustees was "in the dark." regarding the intentions of Mr. Dan G. Reid to pay for the installing of the laundry until after the comjmunication accompanying the request ifor an appropriation of $5,000.00 for ' the same purpose was presented to . your honorable body, I, as chairmen of that committee believe the public is entitled to the evidence covering ithat point, which will show that they were not "in the dark," but, on the contrary, in possession of Mr. Reid's intention for more than a year prevlous. It has come to my knowledge that the importance of the committees' recommendations have been minimized as a' result of my "Inferior social standing in life" and In fairness to myself, I respectfully ask that the evidence be given to the public that 'they might decide for themselves as to what extent, or bearing, a man's : social standing has on the question ,-of veracity. Entitled To Evidence. Mr. Rupe further states that they (the board) have not "knowingly" with "intent" refrained from taking 'the city into their confidence. The public is entitled to such evidence as will establish beyond all doubt, that ,they were not only consoious of not ; sharing their confidences with the city ' in matters involving the finances of the institute, but had repeatedly referred to the fact at different times In their board meetings. I make this statement on the authority of Mr. Rupe's reply to the charge at the , Joint conference of your committee and members of the board. ' t would further ask your honorable body for such additional evidence adduced, subsequent to the submitting of our report, that justifies the frequent changes in your rote as a whole on its acceptance, and particularly to cause the three councilmanlc representatives who served, on that committee to vote against their own recom.mendatlons. ; It is not my purpose to ask , the council to add further variety to the 'ridiculous situation by again reversing their previous actions, though it would be quite illuminating to know on what grounds previous reversals were based. Why The Reversal? It would add further interest to the situation if this committee was informed why a resolution prepared in the office of Mr. Rupe and by Mr. Rupe signed by W W. Zimmerman, should, notwithstanding the irregularity of its ' presentation, be given such weight and consfieratton as to cause a reversal of three previous votes on the same question. If Mr, Rupe's careful guardianship of the literest Of the people is sufficient, f such confidence can be Shown Jistifying the acceptance of bis suggestbns irrespective of the corn's jnitteesf recommendations, why was the conmlttee appointed? ;.' In tie light of what has transpired since he report was up for consideration I think the public are entitled to know from you, Mr. Mayor, why you purpoely absented yourself from that meetijg. If 1 was, and is your intention to j practae deception on the people regardgxthe conservation of their interes t the hospital, you made the mistike of your life if you anticipated my becoming a possible tool to such ' ; end. t' j Respectfully, A. BAVIS. RHEUMATISM EASY TO CURE so H.

For the Children

A Rooster With a Thirty Foot Tail. i 7,' , Photo by C. M. Barnltz. In Japan there is grown a species of long tailed fowls that are bred to produce tremendous tails. Phoenix Yokohama the breed Is called. They are often kept on high perches, the magnificent tails hanging down like great masses of silken ribbons, and when let down to walk around small boys attend to hold the trailing appendages. Their plumage Is silvery, and it requires eight years for the males to grow perfect tails, the fowls molting only once in three years. ' The bens are more modest and grow tails of only ordinary size. A White Elephant Party. The invitations are written upon white elephants cut from plain white paper, and on the specified date the guests are requested to bring with them in a wrapped package a white elephant that is, an article which they have too good to be thrown away and yet do not know to whom it may be of service. When the guests are assembled, at a signal from the hostess they begin exchanging their white elephants and continue to do so with each other until they get something they want to keep or until the excitement has somewhat subsided. The result is that some of them will be left with a white elephant still on their hands. The hostess may then throw from the hallway above or from an upper window to the lawn a host of small white paper elephants, the one gathering" the most to be given a stuffed white elephant for a prize. Arrange the guests in a circle, and while partaking of refreshments the hostess may begin weaving an original elephant story, leaving off where she thinks best for the guest next to ber to continue, and so on until the circle has been completed. Quite an amusing story may be originated, for it would be one composed of "many men, many minds." Cakes cut with animal cooky cutter may be served with the refreshments. 1 Game of Echo. Echo is a game that may be played by any number of persons, one of whom is chosen to tell a story, and the others are given the names of various characters or objects that are to be mentioned in it. When the story teller mentions the assumed name of a player once the player must repeat it twice, and if it is mentioned twice in succession it must be repeated once. Any player who does not echo his ! name or who repeats it the wrong number of times must pay a forfeit. The object of the story teller is to make bis story so entertaining that the players will forget to echo. If the story is to be about a fight with a bear, for instance, the names taken by the players might be gun. hunter, rock, cave, woods, tree, powder, bullet, knife, paws, etc., or if about a shipwreck the names might be ship, cabin, mate, crew, mast, sail, rudder, wind, wares, etc. The game is similar to "stagecoach." where the players rise and turn round when their names are called instead of echoing them. A Chinese Joke. We all use the word "bamboozle,' and we all know that it means "to deceive by a transparent trick.". But do you know that it is a word given to us by the Chinese and gypsies and it takes Its meaning from an old common joke In China, that of dressing a man in bamboos in order to teach him to swim? But it doesn't teach him, and if he has been dull enough to submit to the joke he finds he has been fooled about It Dogs That Draw Pay. The government carries on its payroll a large number of dogs, as they are necessary for the use of the signal corps in Alaska. These are allowed something like $13 a head for food and medicine for a year's work. The Sewing Lessen. When to great-aunt's house we're going We must always take our sewing. Ready be with thread and thimble And with Angers neat and nimble. Beams bo smooth and even making. Always tiniest stitches taking. Great-aunt says she shouldn't fancy If some day we'd sew like Nancy. Nancy was her little sister. Once I noticed great-aunt kissed her , Portrait la the quaint old locket That she carries in her pocket. Previous samples of her neatness . Great-aunt keeps in spicy sweetness In her chest of cedar, showing Them to help us In our sewing, Folds them back so gently, saying, "Now, dears, run away to playing. Youth's Companion. MISTAKEN DUTY. People are very often heard to say. "I thought it my duty to do such a thing." It too frequently happens that what they thought it their duty to do was some mischief which lay miles out of their way. At a fair computation fully one-half of the bad things done, out of the ranks of the avowedly vicious, are done under the impulse of a of duty.

OUR CITIZEN'S DEMAND

Fully Complied With. A . Richmond Resident Furnished ItThere are few items which appear in this paper more important to Richmond people than the statement published below. In the first place, it is from a citizen of Richmond and can be thoroughly relied upon. In the second place, it indisputably proves that Doan's Kidney Pills do their work thoroughly and not temporarily. Read this carefully: Martin Bulach, tailor, 433 S. Eleventh St., Richmond, Ind., says: "In the spring of 1902, I suffered from weak and lame back and other symptoms of kidney trouble. Learning of Doan's Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at A. G. Luken & Co's Drug Store and their use brought me prompt relief. Since then I have had no further need of a kidney remedy, as my ciana has been permanent. I gave a statement recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, after I had used them with such good results and I still hold a high opinion of this remedy. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

'THE EYE OF GENIUS. " And the Strain of the Nervous System Due to Defective Vision. Much was made In the newspapers some years ago of the part bad eyes have played In the lives of great musicians and writers. What was called "the eye of genius' was Illustrated in many portraits, notably the Lenbach paintings of Richard Wagner, In which one eye droops and is surrounded by concentric wrinkles of pain. The great composer's sick headache and Insomnia, bis shattered nerves and fits of violent temper, were attributed to eye strain. The diagnosis has since been accepted by his biographer. Ellis, himself a physician. Similar If less conclusive cases have been made out to explain the lifelong suffering of George Eliot, Browning, the Carlyles. Darwin. Huxley, Herbert Spencer, Baliac. Talne, Metzsche, Tschaikowsky and others. The straining of the nervous system due to defective vision is to be found among all who use their eyes in work near at band. "The eye of genius' is as common among typesetters and proofreaders, reporters and typewriters, bookkeepers, lathe workers and seamstresses as among the master spirits of music and letters. It Is, in fact, more common, for whereas the fortunate few are able to choose their time and place of labor, to find rest and recuperation when they need It the many are held fast to long hours and endless days, with the resnlt that they become hopeless, nervous wrecks and go blind or mad.

MARK TWAIN IN ANGER.

The Great Humorist Was a Velcana When He Broke Loose. Famous authors are usually poor business men. but Mark Twain, according to William H. RIdeinc In bis "Many Celebrities and a Few Others," knew his own value and had bo unbusinesslike Indifference to the substantial recognition of it. The only critic Twain ever listened to with patience and respected and obeyed was his wife. Underneath his humor lay a deeply serious nature. Mr. Rideing says: "Bow mistaken were the people wbo. not knowing; him. imagined that everywhere and m all occasions his attitude and point of view were tboae of the jester! I never knew a more earnest man than be was or one whose aroused Indignation was so overwhelming. When anger moved htm you could see his lean figure contract, and his eyes ominously screwed themselves into their sockets. Every fiber in him quivered, and for the moment his voice became add and sibilant and out of tune almost a whine. "Then he would let himself oat In a break, like that of a dam unable to hold the flood. In language as candid and unshrinkable as the vernacular of the Elizabethans. Epithet won Id be piled on epithet, one following another with cumulative vigor and distinctness and the disclosing and illuminative effect of explosives.
