CONDITIONS.

The physician will not make visits outside
the city limits. This ticket isnot transferable,
and does not apply to the family of the en-
ploye, and must be return ed as soon as the
term OF employment ceases. This privilege is
free gift OF the company and is no part OF
the contract for wages. and may be made void
by the company at its own option without
notice.
This is practical illustration of Mr..
Douglas idea, and will surely be appre.
,iated by the hundreds who receive the
cards.
He says that he bell ewes there are hun.
1reds of workingmen and workingwomen
who find doctors bill great burden after
aperiod of enforced idleness, and that if
. this is lifted from them they must feel that
their employer is in terested in them in
some other way than simply TO get all the
work he can for just as little money as he
IAN. He says also that there are men and
women who keep right at work when il
would be better for their health if they
would lay off day or two and have med
lcal attendance. Then again they will now
feel free to consult the doctor when they
have slight troubles, VIII ich heretofore they
would not do because of the cost.
The plan goes into effect to-day. DR. S. j.
Gruver has been engaged as the physician
and enters upon his duties tomorrow.
The plan is good one.
Speaking of the W. l.. Douglas Shoe Co.
it may be said that their factory is the only
one in the city where the principle of arbi-
tration is recognized and has full sway.
Mr.. Douglas is a firm believer in the prin-
ciple and has been sin ce the establishment

William l.: Douglas the president Of the
world famed W. l.. Douglas Shoe Co.. has
always had great personal interest in the
army OF men and women who inhabit the
great factory at Montollo during the work
Ing hours OF the day, aud who make the
greatly advertised So shoe.
he Is great believer in tho idea that
manufacturers should have this personal
interest In the condition Of their employees,
and feels that II tho idea Is carried out to
the extent that is possible, that II will result
ultimately in tho breaking down Of the bar
rlers which have been but up between en-
ployors and those whom they employ. He
believes that the breaking down of these in
visible but strong barriers would be n great
thing for everybody CONGO rnod, as II would
convince the worldn gmen that their en-
ployors were not their enc mics, as some of
them seem to think now, but their friends,
with desire to do all for them that was in
their power.
Having strong feelings upon this point, it
is only natural that Mr.. Douglas should give
the matter some study ana acquaint him
self with the result Of the trials Of such
plans in other places He is satisfied that
the scheme he has orig mated Is a good one,
and he has now put it to practical test,
To-day he handed TO every person in his

COMMITTED SUICIDE.
George llensiey, 0fNear Benton, Takes
Siryciinine and Attempts 10 Cut
HIs Threat in the Paroxysms
Of Death.

Coroner Fritts returned from Ben
ton City last Friday after holding
an inquest over the body of George
Hensley, who committed suicide at
his home, 4 miles north of Benton,
some time between Wednesday and
Friday noon.
The last time that Hensley was
seen by anyone was on Wednesday,
October 3. He was in Benton City
on that day.
The neighbors grew suspicious
from the quiet state of things
| around his house, and Judge Dou-
glass and Mr.. Odell, went over yes
terday afternoon and discovered his
dead body lying on the floor of his
room and IN open razor and a half
cooked pistol lying beside him.
There was also a spoon on 1.-THE table,
the contents of which had evidently
killed him, for he had not used the
pistol and had only cut his neck
slightly with the razor. He had
poisoned himself.
| Upon testing the white substance
left in the spoon it was found to be
strychnine, and his contracted and
hardened muscles showed plainly
that he had died for the effects of
this poison andin terrible paroxysms.
The cause of his action is not
known. He was considered to be
unbalanced mentally.
He sent a letter to B. G. johnson
| and several other court officers
Wednesday, begging protection
and stating that he did not
want to be hung. He had
no enimies, no case against him, no
debts and was in fairly good cir
cumstances. Hensley was about
80 years of age and a single man,
and lived on a small farm in the
fertile region north of Benton City.

NO MORE THE WHIPpING POST.
The Relic of i;arbarism Has Been
Abolished In Missouri.

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, October 4.
In answer to an inquiry from a
New York paper concerning the
mode of punishment in the Missouri
~penitentiary, Warden Pace replied
that whipping had practically been
abolished in the Missouri prison,
and that he considered it brutal.
This is the first administration
that has attempted to interfere with
the old custom of flogging convicts
for infractions of the prison rules.
Under the old system refractory
convicts were chained fast, partially
stripped and beaten with a leather
thong. The practice has long been
assailed as inhuman, but it remain.
ed for Warden Pack to take the first
decided stand against it. In the
place of fiogging, ill-disposed con-
victs are punished in various ways,
such as solitary confinement, being
required to wear shackles, reduced
supply OF food, etc, until they are
willing to obey the prison rules.
