c. A Marshall. a San Francisco drum

city yesterday and had q good deal TO
say about the murder of the two girls
In that city and the arrest OF Theodore
Durraat. the medical student. charged
with the crime. He says that the feeling
against Rev. George Gibson. pastor Of
Emanuel church. where the murders were
committed. Is running high and that the
minister is not above suspicion Said
he.
"A great many people there say that
the preacher has acted IN a suspicious
manner ever since the discovery Of the
bodies and IL ~ also ranored that de-
tecfives have been shadowing him con-
tinuaily. You see. the preacher has all
along declared that he knew nothing
about the murders and has also endeay-
ored 10 hide Information, instead of bring

tious man OF his calling and position
would naturally enseavor 10 get al the
bottom Of the mystery instead OF endeay-
oriag 10 hush matters up. Now he has
not been near Durrant since the young
mans arrest. or since his name was first
mentioned I'm connection with the muir
ders He has avoided him continually.
A preacher would naturally 20 TO the
young fellow and endeavor TO get at the

confessed endeavor to ascertain why he
did the deed. Just what connection the
preacher Is suspected OF having with the
tragedies don't know bat Ii Is believed
down there that he has all along known
about the death OF Miss Lamont and
knew where her body was hidden even
before II was found by the detectives.
There are likely 10 be some interesting

DIR. JAMES d. MINKLER DEAD.
Notorious Because OF His Trial for MUIR
der by Malpractice.

Centralia, April 1s-Speciai.-Dr. James
ID. Minkier died at his residence In this
city Wednesday morning at O'CLOCK
DIR. Minkler was born In Berlin. Erie
county, O., January %. 1si4. He received
a common school education, and for a
time attended Oberlin college. Removing
to Iowa, he engaged in teaching school
for a time in Linn county. Later ne
studied medicine at Indianapolis, Ind.
and graduated from the Physico-Medical
college of that city. He then went TO
Nebraska and practiced medicine In JEFF
ferson county. While there ne received
an appointment as physician at the Sko-
komish Indian reservation, and came to
Washington. Later he received an ap-
pointment as health and quarantine OIL
Ger of the Puget sound district. and re-
sided at Port Townsend. After the ad-
mission OF Washington he was appointed
by Gov. Ferry as one of the state board
OF medical examiners, which led 10 a
vigorous protest on the part of a large
number of physicians of the regular
school, and was the subject of consider
able newspaper comment.
In the latter part of 1892 Minkler was
arrested in company with DR.. u. A. Gle
and Mrs. Catherine Mccormick. charged
with having caused the death of Alfred
Wright, an old man 10 years OF age. by
the performance of a surgical operation
and removal OF part of the femur bone
of the right hip. Gle was tried first and
convicted. and Is now serving a term at
Walla Walla. Minkler was also tried and
convicted. He was defended by James
Hamilton Lewis who succeeded in secur-
ing for him a new trial. and on the Sec
ond trial Minkler was acquitted.
The strain on his nervous system
caused by his arrest. imprisonment and
trial. his physician thinks. brought on
diabetes, and later gangrene resulted
from sore on one OF his feet which,
combined. caused his death.
Minkler was at one time considered
quite well-to-do, but his troubles and the
depreciation In real estate left him In
straitened circumstances. Through II
all, however, he has managed to keep
paid up the premium on a 50 90 life In
surance policy. He leaves a widow and
three children.

New bordeaux Mixture,

Ihis was first suggested by NJ. Michel
Ferret. at meeting of the national aeri-
cultural society Of France. and II was de-
signed TO remove certain objections 10 the
use or the old mixture In being less in

oia Is as follows: Quickiime 4 pounds &
ounces; sulphate OF copper. 4 pounds 8
ounces; rnolasses. pounds ounces water

The essential difference beaween the new

What Dr.. MacTaggart

that he Is not soliciting the ordinary run of
cases, but desires just such diseases to treat
that other physicians cannot succeed with or
at least fail to cure. When you suffer from
such consult HIM consultation is free) have
him thoroughly diagnose your case, and then
what he tells you can be relied upon as fact
beyond refutatlon. Some may say, "Why go to
DR.. MacTaggart when we have as good doctors
here as anywhere" Yes, so you have In their
line OF practice, but mt in those sDecialties
that DI, MacTaggart Is schooled and practiced
in. In support OF this unqualified assertion
read his testimonials only read them, but
investigate the truthfulness of them. Where
are the physicians who can remove cancers
without pain and cure It beyond peradventure?
He does It. Where can you find another ply
sician In pennsylvania who can remove tumors
of even 80 pounds weight without the use OF
the knife, without pain, and without leaving q
scar? Dr. Macraggart does It. What physi-
clan can cure fistulas without cutting or caus-
Ing the least pain or soreness during treatment?
Dr.. MacTaggart does It successfully. These
are golden truths--goiden because 10 proves be-

specialties particularly. is advancing with
rapid strides far In the lead OF the regular
