NEW YORK, July II ne Herald has
succeeded in cernering DIR. Walter May
Rev, head of a bogus preparation col
lege, and he has been arrested.
The man is a grayhaired expert,
scholar, linguist. poet, novelist, grad
uate of the medical college of the Uni
yersity of New York. He is registered
physician, and knows the law, not only
of this state, but OF many others.
After four Aterviews with DR. Rev,

from his hands diploma Of the prepar-
atory medical college of Nav York, GER
tifying in Latin. over the doctors sig
nature and an impressive red seal, that
on examination it had been proved that
the reporter was worthy to be received
as physician among physicians. The
document falsely declared that he had
studied medicine for three years, and
that his final examination had been
regulated by the usual standard for
the NJ. d. degree" This diploma, which,
according to his assurance, carried with
it the minor degree of NJ. D., was NOT
given to aid the applicant in entering a
regular medical college, but as a cloak
under which he was to practice medicine
in Ohio.

Farmers of Central Indiana Anxious for n
DOwnpour.

DOwnPOur.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 25.-The farmers
of central Indiana are looking anxiously
each day for indications of rain. They
We're glad to see fair weather while they
were in the midst of harvest, but now
they have had enough of it In some
localities the growing corn is suffering
for want of rain. The pastures, too,
are beginning to turn brown.
1t is unusual, farmers say, to have SO
much dry weather in July, and they
fear that if it should continue through
August the corn crop will be seriously
injured. However, the fair weather
has been beneficial to the farmers IN
one way-it has enabled them to har-
vest their wheat and hay crops in bet
ter condition than for several years.
Thrashing has been in progress for 20
ddysaround this city, and it Is said that
the entire crop will be thrashed by the
latter part of this week.
The crop bulletin of the Indiana
weather service, speaking of the week
ending yesterday. says:
The temperature during the past
week averaged near the normal, while
the sunshine was excessive. Local
rains fell over portions of southern and
central Indiana during the early part of
the week and greatly benefited the
growing crops. The weather was
favorable Tor wheat thrashing, which
progressed rapidly. and reports are al
most unanimous in indicating yield,
good both in quantity and quality.
The oats crop, which is being cut, is
also excellent, and hay was saved in
fine condition Potatoes and corn are
suffering severely from drouth in most
sections of northern and central Indi-
ana Potato bugs are doing some in
jury and rust has been noted in the
late oats. Pastures are very dry and
vegetables are IN poor condition. In
the southern portion of the state corn,
potatoes and tobacco are generally in
good condition. Reports indicate that
there Is promise of an excellent melon

and apples, especially, viii be very

A STREET CAR CAT.
Pussy Found a Warm Place In a nors

Pussy Found n Warm Place In n Horse Car
and Is Now n Great Pet.
The street cars in certain western
city have small stoves in the center
of each car for the additional COM
fort of passengers in cold weather.
The driver on one of these cars had
day and was changing his horses
from one end of the car to the other
when half grown, half starved and
bedraggled looking kitten came new
ing across the road and ran into the
car.
1t curled up under the warm stove
in great contentment, and the kind
hearted driver, who was also the con-
ductor, allowed it to lie under the
stove during the down town trip
He begged saucer of milk for the
little waif at the other end of the
route, and after her lunch, for which
she was manifestly grateful, kitty
went back to her snug place under
the little stove, and during the day
she and the conductor became such
good friends that he left her in the
car when he went off duty that
night.
He did not put her out the next
day nor at any other time, but fed
her every day, and before a week
she became the pet of the public and
qnite an attractive card to that
branch of the road. She was pref
ty, playful little gray and white kit
ty and made friends with all of the
passengers. The children played with
her, the ladies petted her, and most
of the men paid her some attention.
One lady tied pretty scarlet ribbon
around kitty's neck, and the next
day another lady fastened tiny sill
yer bell to the ribbon.
AS for things to eat, kitty has
them in variety and quantity enough
to make dyspeptic of her During
single trip she had gifts of a choice
bit of raw steak offered her by an old
Irishman on the car, a big oatmeal
cracker and some gum drops present
ed by a little girl, lump of loaf
sugar, lime, a sandwich, some pea
nuts and link of sausage.
Kitty had been on the car five
weeks when heard of her, the most
happy, contented and petted little
puss imaginable When the weather
is fine, she often rides out on the
platform with the driver, who has
been such a true friend to her, and
whose conduct is proof of the fact
that there is a kindly, generous
heart beneath his rough garments.

AT G o'clock this morning saw a
mountain shepherd standing at gate
ON the hilltop. Seven sheep were ON
the outside of the gate-six of the
shepherds flock, the other strayer.
The man wanted his own sheep in,
so before opening the gate he quiet
ly said, Rob, catch the strayer.
In an instant Rob pinned the sheep,
holding him, strong and wild as he
was, as though he were in a wise,
and then by another word Gled was
told to bring the others in through
the gate now opened for them. Al
though G1ed brought his six wild
sheep right over Rob and his strayer,
the sheep was held securely till the
gate was closed and the order given
to ''let it gang. Cor. London Spec

NEW YORK, July 25.-Letters Just
received by the Presbyterian board of
foreign missions in this city, contains
news of an unprovolred attack upon
Miss Anna Melton, an American mis-
sionary, who was stationed at the time
of the outrage in a little village among
the HISTORIAN mountains IN Turkey.
Miss Melton escaped with her life, but
was mercilesSly beaten and bruised.
The letters containing the story of
the assault are dated from Amadia,
Turkey, June II last. A little more
than week before that date, the Rev.
E. w. Mcdowell, with his family, in
company of Miss Melton, left Mosul, in
West Persia. to go to Amadia, Turkey.
Having reached their destination in
safety Miss Melton proposed to con-
tnue on to the mountain village of
Duree. some miles away. She went I'M
attended save by her servant and a
native preacher.
On the night of her arrival, she
pitched her tent on the roof of a house
in the village, as is the custom in that
country. The preacher slept on the
roof, about 10 feet from her tent and
the members of the family owning the
house also occupied places not far
away.
In the middle of the night she was
awakened by the appearance of a man
in her tent. The intruder was
armed with heavy stick. with which
he began to strike the helpless woman,
who screamed loudly for help. No one
came to her aid, however, and she was
compelled to defend herself single
handed. In some way she was able to
break away from her assailant, and ran
bleeding from the tent The man fol-
lowed, but in the darkness missed his
footing and fell to the ground
No tra-e could Miss Melton find of
the prea Sler or of the others who occu-
pied the roof with her. They had all
fled in terror. She WIS brutally cut
about the head and body.
Mr.. Mcdowell laid the case before
the authorities but was unable to OBJ
tain hnt small measure of satisfac-
ton. They said that Miss Melton should
not have gone there comparatively un-
protected.
The matter has been called to the at
tention of the state department at
Washington.
Miss Anna Melton has been mis-
sionary of the Presbyterian church for
many years. She was appointed from
Bardolph, la.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 2J.-The Indian
apolis National bank, capital $500, 900,
has closed its doors.
For some days rumors have been
current to the effect that the bank was
in trouble
For many years the Indianapolis Ma
tional has been regarded as among the
strongest banks in this city. The sus-
pension of the bank is due toSthe gen.
eral financial stringency.
According to the statement of the
bank made July 10, the loans and dis
counts amounted to $I.545, S54. IS
while the cash and securities on hand
aggregated $685., 600. The individual
deposits subject to checks were $780,.
5000.
The bank was a United States de-
pOsitOry. and had all the federal
money in it, amounting exactly to
$3OO, 900.
The doors OF the Banksof Commerce
did not open Tuesday morning. This
was not unexpected, as the bank was
owned by the Depauws and the Depauw
estate, and because of the failure of c.
w. Depauw Saturday a run was made
on the bank Monday. The bank is the
oldest in the city and one of the oldest
in the state. 1t has a capital stock OF
$500, GOO of the Depauw estate. Mrs.
Washington G. Depauw, n. T. Depauw
and G. W. Depauw owned nearly three
fourths. The first two named are worth
E5,O00,O GOO and are liable for twice the
amount of their stock.
Vice President John W. Ray says the
SERIOUSNESS about the Depauw estate
was the cause of the run. Assistance,
he said. was promised, but was not
forthcoming. He said that the suspen-
sion was only temporary
