the practice h -ing carried on among sonio residents in the west end at the present t i r x i ii'vunli itr t re-vela-tions made at the sanity inquest of Iieronica Bkowskl, 1 x 1 w Lons:Ie-y a v. Hero is the story as told in Justice Wypiszynski's court during the sanity inquest: The f our-months-edd son of Mrs. Bykejwski was dying. Six physicians had been called to attend the babe, but none could pres. -r i 1 medic is.o that would restore it to health, So one day an insurance man came along. He told her that there was a woman by the name of Gnttlie-ba Borkovvska, 17,12 Poland st., who could cure the babe. So the molhe-r went to see the woman. She examined the ailing baby carefully, declaring that the: symptoms were of tuberculosis, but further added that the main trouble with the infant son was that he was bewitched. She would drive the witchery from the boy, and then health would re turn. The prescription included all sorts of weird and mysterious things, Gottlieba Eorowska told the hoy's mother that a. neighbor, Mary Prankiewicz, was responsible and that she was a witch. s'lio tedd the mother that she must invite Mrs. Drankiewicz into her home and take her shawl away from her, cast it into the stove, lirst placing the shawl in water. If the shawl burned readily, and if the smoke went up the chimney, then the witchcraft was beirr.; cast out c;f the babe. Kurther she must slap Mrs. Drankiewiez until the hlood Mowed and then gather up a teaspoon of the life substance. If the child took the. blood, then was it cured. The mother, temporarily insane over her love for the ha by boy, invited the old woman into the home. The assault took place and the mother followed out the instructions. Then the neighbor came to Justice Wypiszynskl. She thought the? mother insane. An inquest was held and the mother freed. The mother was charged $!) fees according to lur own story. Now comes the information that there are many people working the samesort of practice in the west end. Prosecutions are to follow it is under.stood, the charge being practicing medicine without a license. Physicians state that such cases are fro-e-uently brought to ther attention, R0TARIANS GUESTS AT ELECTRICAL DINNER Announcement .Made That Eighth District Meeting Will be Held Here.

IE TIKES S AMAGE SUIT Testifies to Improvements and Fixtures in Restaurant Before Collapse. Lom: Myo, Chinese restaurant pro- j prietor, and plaintiff in the case of Mye vs. the Independent live and ten-cent store, took the stand Tuesday afternoon in his own behalf. The case is one in which Mye is attempting to collect about $7,0O damages on his fixtures and business which was ruined by the collaps' of a building Jan. ''. 1 1 1 4 . at 1RM14 S. Michigan M. Attorneys for the plaintiffs in the law.suit which is the second hearing are attempting to show the damage to Myc's business. Mye was injured in the collapse of the building and was in the hospital for several weeks, but he is not seeking to recover for his own injuries. Mye testüied through an interpreter as to the fixtures which he owned and the improvements he had made in the restaurant. He charges in his comp'aint that the improvements and fixtures were worth $4.r.G5.:.r. The loss to his business and on the lease of the rooms where the restaurant wa.s conducted he estimated at J2,rJ0. Seve n civil suits arose out of the collapse of the building, but this is the first to be tried. The first trial gave the plaintiff a judgment of a little over $2,000, but the court ordered a new trial on the contention of the defense that the nature of the damages were not made specific enough. Another suit similar to the one now being tried is set for this week, but it is doubtful if the court will be able to hear it because of the number ot ca.es preceding. a southwestern paper answering a question about high and low reoord cotton prices said that in 1S66 the highest nriee' was 7,1 cents and the lowest 32 cents, while since that time cotton has dropped as low as 7j ."i-lf. cents in 1 s : S . Hertha Krupp von Bohlcn's for- ; tune is estimated at $ 12 j. 000, 000.

EN Tß GUESTS Mark of 4,234 For 1914 Expected to be Bettered by Jan. 1. is Business at the "Higirin's hotel" at the city hall ha. not been so rushing during the past month as in November. 1014. but according to the prediction made by Harry K. Joseph, clerk of the board of safety and keeper of the municipal lodging house "register." the free tavern will do as well in the present 12 months as it did the previous year. During the past 30 days 246 "weary willies" and "knight? of tno road" were entertained by the city compared to 2S2 during November a year ago. Thui far this year 3,4 79 guests have stayed at the lodging house and Clerk Josephson believes that the 4,2:14 for 1914 will be battered in 1915. During last December 1.070 visitors registered at the "Higgin's hotel" and with a bit of cool weather it is anticipated a large a number will apply this month. "Repeaters" are discouraged in their efforts to violate the rules of the hotel which provides but for one night's entertainment. The night sergeants are being very careful about this and those who return for second night's lodging are very often refused, unless the otllcials be in a tender-hearted mood. The lodging house has hfe-n slightly remodeled for the season, all of the bunks being torn out. thus permitting the guests to lie upon the lloors and not be bothered by disagreeable occupants.

SERB TROOPS CROSS BORDER TO GREECE

eCo.NTINFKD FKeM PACT. ON K. ) horFebark less than 2 1 hours before it fell. BERLIN. Dec. 1. e By Wirele. ). Fifteen thousand Serbian prisoners, many mounted guns anil lare quan tities of war supplies were captured J by the Bulgarian troop who t"ok J Prizrend. the war office announced today. The following report from the German general staff was issued: "Balkan Theater of War We have foticht successful engagements nt certain points "with the enemy's rear guards. "Bulgarian troops took l.".0 Serbians at Prizrend. together with many mountain guns and larg" quantities f war supplies. "Western Theater of War West of I-abassee we mined a British position, causing considerable damag. One English and one French aero plane were shot down mid their occupants taken prisoners. LONDON. Dec. 1. Monastir was surrendered to the Bulgarians on Monda, according to an Athens dispatch to the Daily Chronicle. The main portion of the Serbian army has retreated into Albania accompanied by great numbers of ciilians. The total number of refugees is estimated at '230. 000. of whom SO, 000 are soldiers. In taking refuge in the Albanian mountains the Serbian troops saved most of their batteries and field guns. All boys between the ages of 15 and 17 years of age have been pressed into service and they will be drilled to fill the gaps in the ranks of the shattered army. A rejuvenated army is expected to reappear. It is estimated that at least a month will be required for the other remnants of the army to be gathered, reorganized and re-equipped. The Austrian official statement, evidently issued previous to the Berlin report, does not mention the capture of Prisrend. It states "The Bulgarians are approaching Prisrend." One of the fiercest battles of the war accompanied the Bulgarian adances on Monastir, according to .Salonika dispatches. The battle started on Friday morning and continued for 24 hours. The fighting centered about a bridge at a crossing on the route to the city. The .Serbians niaüe gallant efforts to blow up the bridge a.s they were being forced back. The Bulgarians were pushing them so hard, however, that they were unsuccessful and were compelled to retire. The most desperate of the fighting occurred on the heights above Monastir, to which the Serbians had retreated. Col. Vassiteh, who once captured Monastir from the Turks, was in command of the defending troops. Operations in southern Serbia, where the Anglo-French forces are operating are at a standstill because of the bad weather prevailirg. The Serbian government has arrived safely at Scutari. The quadruple entente ministers are now at Fodgoritza en route to Scutari. A Zurich dispatch to the Central News states that the central powers have decided to establish an Albanian kingdom bordering on Austria, Bulgaria and Greece and place Prince William of Wied on the throne. A Salonika dispatch states that 120,000 Turkish troops are to be sent to the Bulgarian Black sea coast. Germans have organized aviation camps along the coast and Austrian mortars have arrived for defense duty. LONDON. Dec. 1. Roumanian gave the allies new cause for concern oer the Balkan situation Tuesday by serving notice on Russia that she bars the Danube to Russian ships of war. Roumania in a most energetic r.ote, according to reports received from Bucharest, demands that Russia respect her neutrality and declares that she "will defend her neutrality if necessary." The note, according to Bucharest dispatcher, emphasizes the significant warning that the Danube has been mined. Roumania had previously notified the Austro-German go eminent s that she would not allow their armed ships or transports to proceed along the Danube below the Russian frontier, and to this the kaiser entered .in energetic protest. Today's notification to Russia of Roumania's determination at all hazard to remain neutral is taken here as Roumania's way of evading both her dangerous neighbors. Daughters of Late visr.
