graduate of the Ohio State Univer-
sity course of pharmacy. Miss
Bagley, who issan;attractive little
woman personally, as ..weli as an
educated druggist, is in love with
her profession, and has high ideas
of its dignitIes and usefulness. She
tells an interesting story of the
manner in which she happened to
enter this work, which as yet offers
a new field. for woman's labor. She
wished to try some line'of business
life, she says, which was not already
.overstocked with female employees,
and the profession of pharmacy>was
suggested to her as being thus far
occupied almost entirely. by men.
After she had once begunTthe study
of compounding drugs she was fas-
cinated with it, and now has moth

decided to learn the science. There

HE SEES HIS ERROR
JUDGE DAILY NOW GIVES THE GARB-
AGE ORDINANCE 4 BLOW.
OverruYes n Former OpiniOn-PrOper-
ty Owners Cannot BE Made to
Pay for Removal.

Judge Daily, of the Supreme Court. acting
as special judge in the Circuit Court in the
case of Thomas J. Jameson against Henry
w. Lawrence and others, yesterday gave
a decision in favor of the defendants. The
case was one of the many garbage suits
that have been filed by the garbage con-
tractor. The garbage contractor had Sc
cured an injunction against number of
persons restraining them from hauling gar
bage on account of the existence of the
contract with the City Garbage Company
Even this failed TO bring the company the
profitable garbage hauling from the hotels
and restaurants at the contract price Then
the contractor brought the present suit to
restrain the proprietors from giving the
garbage to any other than the haulers for
the contractor. In the former case, which
went to the Supreme Court, Judge Daily
wrote the opinion sustaining the constitu-
tonality of the garbage ordinance and the
validity of the contract entered into by the
Board Of Public Works under this ordi-
nance.
His decision yesterday is a practical over
ruling of the opinion written by him in the
other case, and his subsequent opinion will
probably be. sustained by the Supreme
Court. If such is the case Its effect will
De 10 the contract HlNdllQ ana not
binding. as far az it pertains to manner
of payment Judge Daily announced from
the bench yesterday that in passing upon
the case before him he compelled TO
overrule himself on the FORMER opinion.
The whole question hinged on Section 62 of
the city charter. This section, Judge Daily
says, he overlooked in the former case.
Considering it, an entirely different phase
is put upon the question. This section pro-
vides that the Board of Public Works
shall not enter into any contracts the ex-
penses of which shall not be paid out of
the city funds, except in certain cases
where the expenses may be assessed
against the property owners. He said the
Board of Works had authority to contract
for the removal of garbage, but had no
authority to require the property owners
to pay for such removal. The injunction
was refused. The case will go TO the
Supreme Court, and If Judge Daily is sus-
tanned In overriding himself the garbage
contract will be held invalid. This does
not affect the validity of the ordinance for
the removal but simply goes TO the manner
| OF requiring payment for such removal.

WHEELER CUTS HIS THROAT.
An Ex-Marshal of West indianapolis
Attempts Suicide.

Henry Wheeler, residing at No. 10 Had
ley avenue, West Indianapolis formerly
marshal of that suburb, attempted to kill
himself yesterday afternoon by cutting his
throat. He was unsuccessful, but succeed
ed in making horrible cash. Wheeler has
not had steady employment for some
months past, and his finances were at a
low ebb. In addition to this, he drank
heavily, and this caused his wife and five
children often to so in want. Recently he
obtained a situation TO work on a sewer
in the city. Several days ago he started
on a spree. Yesterday morning he left
home presumably to go to his work. He
told his wife that he had resolved to quit
drinking and be better man. She did not
see him again until about o'clock in the
afternoon. Instead of going to work,
Wheeler went to a number of saloons and
drank until intoxicated. About 4 o'clock
he was found in saloon by John Register,
neighbor. Wheeler was loudly calling for
trouble, and ROyster tried to get him
home. He succeeded in landing him at
home about an hour afterwards Mrs
Wheeler admitted them, and when she saw
her husband intoxicated she began to re-
prove him. Wheeler went TO a side ROOM
got razor, and, stepping out into the sit
ting room where his wife and Register
stood, opened the blade and calmly told
them that he intended to cut his throat
Register attempted TO get the razor from
Wheeler, but the latter broke away and
ran towards the stable in the rear end of
the yard. Mrs. Wheeler distracted
Register ran to the back door and shouted
to neighbOrs to come TO his assistance. AS
Wheeler reached the stable he slashed at
his throat with the keen blade and inflicted
a cash about half an inch deep, extending
from his chin to his left ear No arteries
were cut, but the flesh was cut apart and
gaping wound was made. The blood
flowed freely and dripped to the ground
Wheeler left his yard by the rear gate
and ran to stable in a vacant lot about
a half a square away from his home. As
he reached the stable he fell exhausted
from the loss of blood to the ground. Mrs.
Wheeler recovered herself and started out
10 find him. and tracked him to where he
lay by the blood. Drs. Peachee and Deitch
sewed up the wound. 1t is their opinion
that Wheeler will recover. Wheeler is
forty-two years old. He was town marshal
of West indianapolis in 1891. He is a Dem
Ocrat When in office he drank to excess.
After recovering himself that he could
speak. he pointed TO a saloon across the
street from his house and said THAT is
the cause of all my trouble"
