FIERY MEETING OF COMMISSION Sparks Fly During Hearing of Public Utilities Questions. INDIANAPOLIS, June 11 The close of the hearing on the question of authorizing the Merchants' Heat and Light Company and the People's Light and Heat Company to make a physical merger of their properties was characterized by sharp brushes between Joseph H. Brewer of Grand Rapids, Mich., vice president and general manager of the American Public Utilities Company, which controls the two light and heat plants proposed to be merged, and E. E. Scott, a lawyer representing the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company, which holds ten shares of the common stock of the People's Company, and R. F. Haddath, a public accountant who once audited the books of the two companies Involved in the hearing. CharleB McPherson, an attorney representing the Public Utilities Company, made statements which drew lire from the Public Service Commission and ended in McPherson making an apology to Chairman Duncan. That the commission contemplates having an appraisal made of the properties of the two companies proposed to be consolidated was indicated yesterday by inquiries which were made by members concerning the probable cost of making an inventory and auditing the books. Duncan's Ruling Sustained. Chairman Duncan, with a good deal of satisfaction, yesterday pointed to a decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Minnesota railroad rate case, made only Monday, which sustained the position he took in holding that depreciation of property as well as the replacement value should be considered in ascertaining the physical value of a property. At Monday's hearing of the electric light merger case Charles McPherson, a lawyer representing the Public Utilities Company, had contended that the physical value of a plant should be obtained by ascertaining the cost of replacing the property and that depreciation of property should not be taken Into consideration. Mr. Duncan expressed an opposing view and he denied that Wisconsin decisions would sustain Mr. McPherson's opinion. It is a coincident that the United States Supreme Court should give a decision sustaining Chairman Duncan on the very day that he questioned Mr. McPherson's position on the subject. Chairman Duncan called attention to the Supreme Court decision, which declared, "The standard of physical value is not the cost of replacing railroad property anew. Depreciation of property should be considered. It Is clear that in ascertaining the present value we are not limited to the actual amounts of investment. If that has been reckless or improvident losses may be sustained which the country does not underwrite." Amusements At the MurrvJ Week of June 9. "The Deep Purple." At High School.

Richmond People Should Know How to Read and Heed Them. Disordered kidneys give many signals of distress. The secretions may be dark, contain sediment. Passages are sometimes frequent, scanty, painful. Backache is often present day and night. Headaches and dizzy spells may occur. Weakened kidneys should receive quick help. Don't delay! Use a special kidney remedy. Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys, backache and urinary disorders. Richmond evidence proves their worth. Mrs. John Conolly, 512 North Six teenth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "While I have never had occasion to '

take a kidney medicine myself, I know what Doan's -Kidney Pills will do. They were used for backache and weak kidneys and brought complete relief." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

You say , It is a melo-drama. Very well; it is! a melo-drama, but just the kind that pleases all classes of theater goers, and the Sayles players are presenting it in the most creditable way, and no doubt the house will be filled during the balance of the week. There will be another matinee tomorrow and also one on Saturday. "In the Bishop's Carriage.

South Bend (Ind.) Woman Telle How She Was Saved From an Operation By United Doctors' Treatment. The fad for surgery appears to bm dying the death that is the common fate of all fads gradually going out of fashion. Surgery never was really popular with its victims. No one really wants to be cut to pieces; we would all much prefer to remain whole as nature made us, and if we are sick we would prefer to be cured by the scientific use of various drugs and medicines that an all-wie Creator has provided fo- the curing of diseases. Few women have been submitted to the surgeon's knife except when frightened into It by being told by the surgeon that it was the only hope. Another reason why surgery is not popular is that the person who is operated upon is rarely well. If the original ailment is "cut out" quite often a new one, as bad or worse, is brought on by the operation. Since it has been demonstrated time and again that the Intelligent scientific application of medicines will cure many conditions which were formerly considered hopeless, the Richmond Institute of the United Doctors, on the second floor of the Uittle Block, corner Ninth and Main streets, has become a court of last resort for those who are sick with chronic diseases. Mrs. Winona Fuller, of 514 West Division street. South Bend, Ind., was treated by these specialists without the use of a knife, and now writes: "South Bend. Ind.. May 21, 191. "Dear Doctors For the last four or five years I have been in a very serious physical condition. I had suffered so long that I grew weak, could hardly drag about the house. Finally I was compelled to take to my bed. the doctors said I bad consumption. Then I was taken to the hospital, where I remained four weeks, and for a time was apparently better, but In a Bhort time the trouble returned, and I suffered again most acute pain in my back and chest. It seemed that this awful suffering would never cease and that I would finally have to give up the fight for relief. I was like" so many who have constant misery which one doctor says is due to one cause, while the next doctor gives an entirely different reason for the distress. Reasons and opinion are plenty, but not much relief. This is the way I went on from bad to worse, until I bad given up all hope of ever getting back my health, and when I went to the United Doctors I expected to get a prescription for a little medicine for temporary relief. The specialist in charge gave me a careful examination, and to my surprise told me I could get back my health. This I doubted, as I had tried so many doctors without any permanent result. "Now I am so very happy over the great results I have obtained that words fail to tell my feelings, and I can freely recommend the services of these great specialists to any one who may be suffering as I did. "MRS. WINONA FULLER. 514 West Division Street." To do their best work always; to refuse kindly but firmly all incurable diseases; to spread the gospel of good health and good cheer, to keep tb standard of their treatment higher than the highest this is the great mission of the United Doctors, and ii carried out every day among the hundreds of patients who crowd their offices. So great is the fame of the United Doctors that the people come hundreds of miles to be cured by these specialists. The examination is free and confidential, and it is a well-known fact that if they can not cure a patient they will tell him so at once, and refuse to take his money or treat him under any circumstances.
