A Couple Indicted simultaneously In DIFF

A coincidence the parallel of which
has rarely ever occurred is the recent
indictment of T. J Rick by the grand
jury of Hamilton county, Ia, and the
indictment simultaneously of his wife
by the Hardin county tla.) grand jury,
both charged with assault with attempt
to kill in separate cases Their crimes
were committed at the same hour on

at the same hour
Rick, who lives at Alden, in the adj

town in the eastern part of Hamilton

in difficulty with a man named Rim

he stabbed him half dozen times with
a knife, inflicting serious wounds on
Rinderknecht's head At that hour his
wife was at home in Alden, and she
heard some one approaching window.

NOT EQUAL TO THE TASK.
How Small Matters Change the Destinie~
of Men.


Little things sometimes change thea
destinies of men. There is in Philadei-
phia man who abandoned the theatric-
al profession because he could not lift
Fanny Davenport. He had been an actor
for three or four years and had become
recognized as performer of ability IN
certain characters He was member
of one of the local stock companies
about 90 years ago. when Miss Daven-
port came to the city with one of the
men of her company sick. She applied
to the manager Of the theater in which
the young man referred TO was employ
ed for some one to take the sick mans
place. and as the young actor was not
in the cast Of the play then running his
services were loaned to Miss Davenport
He was cast for the part Of Caius Luz
cius, in "Cymbeline, and the business
of the part required that he should take
Miss Davenport i'll his arms and carry
her off the stage The lady weighed con-
siderably more than he did and when
he attempted TO pick her up he found
that his strength was not equal to the
task. His struggles caused the audience
to laugh. and that spoiled good scene
He was so Inundated that he left the
profession after that engagement

p. m. fire started on one Of the upper
floors of the seven-story building at
Seventh and Chestnut streets, occupied
by the Wabash railway general offices,
lawyers, real estate firms and stores.
Some delay in sending in an alarm gave
the fire great Roadway and by the time
the first engine arrived the whole build
ing was in flames. A general alarm
was turned in but the flames had en-
veloped the whole building. The efforts
of the firemen were then turned to the
adjoining buildings to keep the fire from
communicating to them. BY 2:SO o'clock
the department had the flames under
control, having kept them within the
confines Of the Wabash building, which

cause his friends have been criticising
Mayor Harrison for befriending Tam

RESULTED in the defeat of John j. Hanra-

help in eecting the chief cog in the
Republican machine?' This feeling
dominated the entire delegation, and the
leaders talked as though they had
thrown discretion to the winds and in
tended to defy George and his silver
friends to their very faces.

Have You Investigated?
The Standing ofthe Doc
tor Or Doctors You
Employ.
Be Careful of Medical Institutes
Especially Those whose Proprietor
Dares Not Publish His Own
Name

On Saturday October 2, the Copper
Country Evening NEWS published re.
print OF the st. Louis Republic headed,
Trade in bogus diplomas; boguscolleges
grant fraudulent medical certificates;
hundreds posing as physicians who are
not entitled to practice, nearly all hold.
ing these diplomas are ignorant OF the
rudiments OF medieinH
The article further goes on to state
that there are two of these bogus col
leges now domiciled in Illinois. Up to
few months ago there was another hold
ing charter from the State OF Wiscon-
sin, but in consequence of the removal OF
it's headquarters to illinois the charter
has been forfeited at the instigation OF
the State officials.
Long before the above article appeared
in the local papers have we warned the
people OF the copper country OF the IN
scrupulous men who are rractlcing med
icine; there are thous ands of them scat
tered throughout this country, who make
living by praying upon the sick and
afflicted; we have long warned the people
to be careful whom they employ as their
physician, as he may be one who has
either bought or stolen piece OF paper,
and after filing in his name, calls tia
diploma.
In every walk OF life, in every trade
and in every profession we find some
who are an honor to their fellow work
ers while others are disgrace. But in
no other instance can one so hoodwink
the public as in the medical profession.
Before entrusting your medical adviser
with your money, health or secrets, be
sure that he is II physician or ia connect
| ed with a reputable medical institute;
avoid all medical institutes whose propri
etor dares not use his own name and
never having graduated from a medical
college, is obliged to hide his identity by
advertising the name OF some one as
chief consulting physician ofhis institute.
The people OF the copper country have
been fleeced so often by these sharks, that
we deem it our duty to caution them to
be on their guard.
| BE careful to whom you entrust your
lives; investigate the standing and rep
| utation OF the head of the concern or in
stitute with whom you do business; we
want to be Investigated; the.head OF our
concern isa graduate from one OF the
leading medical colleges of New York; he
is registered at Houghton and in almost
every State in the Union; always look to
the head man Of any concern, thereby
judging the reputation and standing OF
the assistants. Remember we treat and
cure all chronic, private, nervous, deli
