OSTEOPOTHY EXCLUDED FROM
KENTUCKY.

In a recent decision by Judge Ster-
ling B. Tony, of Kentucky, that State
is rid of the incubus of osteopathy, 90
called. The State board of health took
the trouble to send commission to
Kirkville, Mo-, the home of osteopathy,
to make an investigation. They showed
that out of faculty of IA professors
only one was an M. D., and even he
seemed to be in i'll repute. The pros
pectus of the American School of Oste-
opathy, in discussing osteopathy, ridi-
culed the use of drugs and surgical
procedures and professed to cure all
diseases not durable by the usual medi-
cal and surgical means, by manipula-
tiOn. Yet they claimed to be a repu-
table medical school.
Could absurdity 60 further? AS the
learned judge says: ''How can it be
called a reputable medical college,
when its own professors repudiate and
refuse to teach materia medica and
therapeutics and chemistry and
anatomy and physiology and con-
fine themselves alone to manipula-
tiou? no His concluding
words were: cit is singular, indeed,
that in an enlightened age like this
such humbug schools and ignorant pre-
tenders could find recognition by the
laws of any State"

The EARNINGS Of PIaxwrirbt.

Dramatists of established reputation
write plays only upon order. Their or
binary prepayments are $500 upon the
delivery of scenario and $500 more
upon the completion of play. ''If the
finished work does not realize eXpecta-
tions," writes Franklin Fyles in The
Ladies' Home journal, ''or if the man
ager for any other reason does not de-
sire to put it on the stage. the money
paid is forfeited after a certain lapse
of time. and the ownership reverts to
the author.
''But if the manager decides to pre-
duce the piece the author receives a
percentage of the gross receipts, usually
5 per cent. payable weekly. after the
amount previously advanced has been
deducted. Ordinarily it increases with
the amount of money taken in. More
than one native drama has earned
$1OO,O0O for it's author. A dozen have
yielded $4,000 each, three times as
many $4,000 and a goodly number
$4,000"

'But what fear'st thouq' cried the caliph. 'Is

Fear it noti Our gallant Moslems no such treach-
dealing know.
''Thou mayst quench thy thirst securely. for thou
shalt not die before
Thou hast drunk that cup of water. This reprieve
is thine-no more!"
Quick the satrap dashed the goblet down to earth
with ready hand,
And the liquid sank forever, lost amid the burn

'Thou hast said that mine my life is till the wa

water gather up!''
For moment stood the caliph by doubtful

81 - have - betrayed my fathers
trustE' cried Piet. MY mistake has
been our ruin!'
And he flung himself in despair
against the wall. But his mother, find
ing nothing but empty guns, kneeled
quietly down and prayed, her babies
about her. She had done all she could
The rest lay with a higher power.
For moment Piet was crazy, and
then recovered himself He looked
through his loophole. The Zulus were
IN a group quite hundred yards away,
almost indistil lguishable in the night.
Even as Piet looked they moved and
he knew they were about to attack
again. With shout of rage the furious
boy suddenly stopped to the dangerous
box he had carried from the house, and
then threw down the rocks from the
door and burst out. In his hands he
carried two sticks of dynamite, carried
such deadly things in his hands that a
stumble meant destruction. Yet he
dashed ahead through the night yell
ing. The Zulus turned on him in amaze,
thinking him mad, and greeted him
with a shower of spears. Unstricken,
Piet ran to within so yards of them,
and then, one after the other, he threw
at them with all his might the dyna-
mite. There was a fearful conclusion,
which dashed the boy to the earth, a
roar as of artillery, medley of fearful
shrieks from the unhappy Zulus, and
all was still. Vrouw Putter and the
children came out trembling, and found
Piet insensible, but of the Zulu raiders
no trace save scattered limbs, where
the earth was thrown about, leaving a
great hole. The dynamite must have
struck fairly in their midst and had ex-
ploded with fearful effects.
That happened long ago. Piet is to-
day a man and owns the farm. His IA
ther is dead. but the brave old mother
lives on with Piet and his wife. Many
changes have taken place on the lonely
farm on the veldt, but one building re
mains unchanged, and reyerently pre-
served. 1t is the chicken coop, which
is known by the children for miles and
miles as loom Piet's Fort."-New York

REPORT OF THE FIRE CHIEF.

The following satisfactory and COM

Tuesday evening:
To the City Council of Bellefontaine-Gen-

annual report Of the Bellefontaine Fire
Department. for the six months ending
December ~, 1899:
Total expense for six months, 81 1866
Number Of fires, II.
Number of alarms, 25.
Loss by fire and water a. adjusted,
81, ,OS7.75.
Insurance at risk, $13, 42S %.
Insurance over loss, $12. 1856
Insurance not adjusted, 5000.
Number of feet of hose used, $500.
Longest line laid, 1850 feet.
Shortest line laid, 30 feet.
/ would recommend the immediate
purchase of full equipment Of ladders
and if possible at least a forty gallon
chemical for the ladder truck. The
only ladders that we have are the two
small ones that we now carry on the
hose wagon which would not be Of
much use to us in case Of fire in IN
upper story or in roof.
The purchase of fire alarm bell 10

further recommend the purchase Of .
full equipment of beds and bedding for
nine men, for we should have ct least
that many in the house at night. ~ IL 10
for night alarms that we need the most
men.
| would suggest to you the need Of
taking such action as may be necessary
to secure the erection of hose house in
the west part of town. The greater
portion of our factories are in that part
of town and as the railroad is in such
constant use it leaves us practically but
one street over which to reach that
quarter, and one which might cause .
very serious delay, in case Of . fire.
which q hose company could reach
without the loss of time.
Our hose, of which we have 2,6e0
feet, is in fairly good condition only.
and the early purchase Of at least 1000
feet is recommended.
