Mr.. Foster Replies to Mr..
Coates.

EDITOR BULLETIN-I notice in
the BULLETIN of March 18th and
the Banner of the 22nd Ex-Trustee
A. j. Coates criticises the Ex-Treas-
urer of the Western Hospital. This
is matter between the Ex-Trustee
and the Ex-Treasurer. But my
friend Coates jumps on the Govern
or, myself and everybody else that
was not for his and Mr.. Durrett's
reappointment-in other words,
think friend Coates is mad at the
world. We all get defeated some
times. have been defeated. but /
have always taken my medicine.
1t is useless to cry over split milk.
Such is life.
That talk about Gov. McMillin
refusing to appoint Coates and Dur
rett because of the political pull of
the Ex-Treasurer, and because they
had performed their duties as Trus-
tees, is puerile. These two gentle
men were appointees of Turney and
TAYLOR. Gov. McMillin had as
good right to appoint two other
gentlemen as Turney and Taylor
had to appoint these two-provided
Turney's and Taylor's appointees
were not the only two gentlemen in
Hardeman County that could and
would perform the duties of Trus-
tee. Coates came to Nashville,
made his political pulp for the
Office. The Governor appointed
two other gentlemen. My friend
Coates calls me an ''adherent" OF
the Ex-Treasurer because l would
not recommend my political enemy
for Trustee. Well, | didn't do it
l don't hate my enemies, but dc
love my friends. In nay humble
Judgment, l can find more than &
thousand good men in Hardemar
County that are just as honest
would perform their duties anC
make just as good Trustees as these
two Ex-Trustees. l hope the SUI
will continue to rise in the east anC
set in the west, notwithstanding
Coates and Durrett were not reap
pointed Trustees of the Western
Hospital.
We abolished another court yes
terday. This makes two useless
courts we have abolished. We will
: get five or six moro before we ar
/ through. The House has passed {
: bill reducing the salaries of stat'
Z, officers, but the bill has been re
jected by the Senate. We will tr!
it again, however. Our bill amend
ing the Jarvis law has been recon-
) mended by the committee for pas
sage. We hope to be able to pas
it. / am about convinced that Their
can be no material change made il
the fence law. My bill, and al
others seeking to define Lawful
, fence and to amend the presen
T fence Law s, have been recommends
by the Agricultural Committee 70
rejection. This committee claim
: that the County Courts has the RICH
under the law to say what shall b
lawful fence for that particula
County. We defeated the Senat'
E bill. making it lawful for Superin
tendents of charitable or penal in
situations TO turn over the deaC
bodies of the inmates of the institu
ton to medical schools to be carved
up by the doctors, if not claimed
by some friend within SO hours.

n III ~ ~ LII AA%Nf "a 80
3rd, contained an editorial in
regard TO the passage by the
State Senate of a bill to turn
over to medical colleges of
Tennessee bodies of unclaim-
ed persons who die in charit-
able and penal institutions.
In that editorial, we disap-
proved of the bill, and COM
plimented the only member
who voted against it, Mr..
Slack, of Bristol.
Our remarks were not rel
ished by the editor of the
Hardeman Free Press, who
is a member of the Senate
and who voted for the unho-
ly measure. They had the
same effect upon him that a
red flag would have Haunted
in the face of a mad bull.
He paved the earth and air,
and claimed that the BULLE-
TIN made a false statement
that no such bill as we men,
toned had been passed; but
admitted that a bill along
this line was passed by the
Senate, which he would pub
lish in his paper, so that the
public might judge of it's
merits. He published it.
Now let's look into the pro-
visions of this bill the Free
Press published and see who
made the false statement,
whether it was the BULLETIN
or the Free Press:
The bill provides for the
constitution of a Beard of
Commissioners, to be compos-
ed of representatives of med
zeal and dental colleges of
Tennessee, who shall be APP
pointed by the Governor.
Upon the death of any per-
son, in any charitable or pen
al institution, relatives are to
be notified. If the body is
not claimed within a certain
number of hours, then the
Custodian or Superintendent
of said institution is required
to notify said Board of Com
missioners that he has such
body, and upon their de-
mand shall deliver same to
them or their order. If, at
any time, the Board becomes
over-stocked with dead bod
les, if the market becomes
glutted and the students of
anatomy are sufficiently sup
piled, the bill kin dly provides
that the bodies be buried.
(How considerate y When
said bodies are received by
said Board, they are to be
distributed among the medi-
cal and dental colleges upon
demand, and when so dis
tributed they { the Board }
shall receive from the college
demanding same the sum of
two dollars for each body.
Think of a bill legalizing
dealing in the deadI The
Senators say this bill was
passed for the relief of medi-
cal colleges. No doubt it
was. Certainly it was not
passed for the relief or con-
ISOLATION of relatives and
friends of the unfortunates,
whose bodies are to be cut
to pieces and trafficed in. It'll
seems to us that their feel
ings are deserving of some
consideration.
All who have expressed an
opinion regarding this bill I'M
hesitatingly pronounce it an
insult to humanity. The sum
and substance of it amounts
to this-the dead of the
wealthy will be decently |
buried, the dead of the poor
will be made mince meat of
if necessary. 1t is class leg
islation of the most pro-
nounced type.
Those who voted for the
bill will be condemned by
the public. |

RESIDENCE OF ID. p. HAYES.
Ia Justice Court.

Justice Barthell's court was busy
last week. On Wednesday and Thurs.
day the case of A. f. Bersie of High.
land township, accused of assault and
battery, which was described in these
columns two weeks ago, was given a
hearing at the court house. E. p.
Johnson appeared for the state and
Dtn Shea for the defendant. After a
careful investigation the case was dis
missed for want of evidence.
Thursday afternoon the Thos. Sexton
case from Bluffton, accused of main
tanning a nuisance and selling liquor
was argued. Luther Hill was the
complaining witness, E. r. Acers, at
torney for plaintiff and Frank Sayre
for defendant. This case was also dis
missed for want of evidence.
The case against Charles Jackson
under the same charge was heard on
Friday afternoon, E. Elzea appearing
as complaining witness, E. r. Acers
as prosecuting attorney and Frank
Sayre as attorney for the defense.
The defendant was fined SIS and costs.
The people of this county are be-
coming thoroughly disgusted with the
method of procedure employed in
many of these so-called liquor cases.
1t seems that in some cases there are
certain parties engaged in securing
others to permit the use of their names
AS complainants, with the sole end in
view of making case and securing
fees therefrOm, while in other cases ir-
persons bring cases against
enemies for spite alone. We
say, let every violater of the law be
punished to its full extent, but when
such a case is brought, let it be re-
Iuired that the complaining witness
'r the person in whose name the suit is
brought furnish bond to pay the costs
f the defendant be acquitted. Then
We believe there would be less of this
Useless expenditure of the peoole's
The trial of Bud Dearmore spoken

belonging to Geo. M. Clark to death

'eing fined SIS and costs or thirty
lays in Jail.

The Cigar Factory Burglarized.

Last Thursday evening one Joe
Braun, hobo cigar maker who had
been working for Rubie & Jansen for
about two weeks, affected an entrance
to their factory by breaking the win
dow in the rear Goor and crawling
through the opening and breaking
through another door. All he secur-
ed was about 500 cigars, two boxes Of
which he sold in town the next MORN
ing. He has not yet been located by
the authorities. but they are keeping a
careful lookout for him. He had been
on drunk for day or two previous,
which undoubtedly prompted the
deed.
LATER. Braun, (alias Perosky) was
located at Austin yesterday, and
Sheriff Christen went up and got him,
returning with him early this morn
ing. He was arranged before justice
Gibson this morning and plead guilty,
and was bound over to the grand jury,
under $1,000 bonds, and being unable to
furnish the bond will remain in jail.
He sold 100 of the cigars in Decorah,
100 in Cresco and 800 In Austin.

In New Quarters.

The members Of the Decorah City
Band now have about the finest hall of
its kind in the state. They have leased
the entire third story of the Dicker-
man block on Winnebago street, and it
has been thoroughly renovated. The
walls have been beautifully papered
and painted, plenty of electric lights
have been put in, and the floors are to
be carpeted. This will give the band
plenty of room for reception hall and
practice room, besides a room for
music, instruments, uniforms and
equipments of every nature.

This afternoon there was an accident
in which Jay Eaton, then a lap ahead

edge of the track and pitched from his
wheel. Eaton tried to remount but
found that his tire was fiat and before
ne got another wheel he was four laps
IN the rear. The matter was taken to
the referee by Eaton, who, after sew
eral hours consideration, ruled that the
Baton Walthour team should take it's
place with the leaders. This put the
team back only one lap. the one by
which it was leading at the time the
spill occurred.
