STRICT osTEoPATHlc LAW.
osteopaths Themselves in Favor o
RESTRICTING PRIVILEGES of Practice.

Des Moines. Aug. 16.-An effort will
be made by the osteopaths to secure
from the legislature the coming win.
ter modification of the law relating
to their business, so as to limit the
privileges guaranteed by it only to
graduates of colleges of osteopathy.
Taving fought their way through the
lines of "old line" doctors to secure
recognition and protection from the
law, the osteopaths now desire to have
1t made more strict, so that it may
operate as to non-graduates of their
colleges, just as the old law operated
against all osteopaths originally
Tt present the law guarantees to all
osteopaths the right to practice theil
profession without state interference
for il declares that osteopathy shall
| no be regarded as a school of medi
cine. This allows any person, wheth
er educated in osteopathy or not, tc
practice it on people. The ostepoaths
desire to have penalty attached to
its practice, except it be by persons
holding diplomas from colleges of este
opathy in good standing.
1t was expected all through teh last
legislature that the regular" doctors
would attempt to abolish osteopathy
1t is said that they are now deyoting
much effort to securing legislative
nominations which will insure large
complement of physicians in the legis
lature the coming winter. This MAY
or may not be with purpose to abol
ishing the osteopaths by repeating
their law, and it probably is to pro
tect the interests OF the regulars
from further invasion by the osteo
paths. The osteopaths anticipate 4
fight, but may be disappointed, as the,
We're last year much to their gratlti
cation.
4 1t is thought that there will BIZ
twenty doctors in the next legislature
/ There were ten or twelve in the last.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Will g. Lesan Thrown From Horse
and Badly Injured.
is SUFFERING FROM CONCLUSION
Unconscious at II O'Clock Today -
Affair Occurred Near ottumwa Hos
pital Where Unfortunate Young
Man Was Taken.

[From Fridays Daily.1
While enroute to his work at the
packing house this morning Will c..
Lesan, well known young man of
this city was thrown from his horse,
receiving what may prove to be fatal
injuries. He struck upon the right
side of his head, and the horse in
struggling to regain it's feet, appar-
emily stepped upon the. left side of
his head causing bad conclusion. At
IL o'clock the young man had not re-
gained consciousness, and the full eX-
tent of the injuries had not been de-
termined. The accident occurred
within a few feet from the Ottumwa
hospital, and Miss Mae Trotter, the
acting superintendent. was soon on
the scene and superintended Mr.. Les
ans removal to that institution where
he was given careful attention. Drs.
Williams and Bannister dressed the
injuries and he was removed to a
room where he will remain for the
present.
On His Way to Work.
The accident occurred about 6:45
o'clock. MI. Lesan was riding at a
rather fast pace, and in some man
ner his horse stumbled. 1t fell to It's
knees and Lesan was thrown over It's
head. He landed upon the right side
of his face and head, and as he turn
ed over on the hard paving, the horse
in its struggles to regain it's feet ap-
parently stepped full upon the other
side of his head.
Severely Marked.
He bears several severe marks, and
it is probably the horses stepping upon
him that has caused the most serious
damage.
A Large Crowd.
A large number of men were on a
street car short distance from where
the accident occurred, among the
number being his father j. P. Lesan.
After procuring stretcher from the
hospital, willing hands carried the un.
fortunate young man to the operating
room in the hospital and his wounds
were looked after. While lying on the
operating tablehe was taken with con.
WILSON'S, and from this it is evident
that the injurise are very bad. With.
in an hour he had been taken with
ehiSS SOAhF uicioAho, puI ldIcI lle S6cul-
ed to rally somewhat from the shock
and his physicians have great hopes
for favorable termination of the
case.
Cause Unknown.
| What caused the horse to fall none
of those who saw the accident appear
| able to tell While he was riding at
rather rapid pace, there was nothing
to cause the horse to stumble.
| Is Well Known.
Will Lesan is about twenty-one
years of age and is we'll and favor
ably known to large circle of &C
quaintances in this city, where he has
made his home for the past six years

WANT NEXT REUNION HERE.
sixteenth Annual Reunion of Northwestern
Kansas Veterans VIII Take Place in
WaKeeneY Next Week.
.Goodland. 1927"

"Goodland, 1902"
That will be the yell that will escape
from the old soldiers of this section at
the reunion of the Northwestern Kan
sas Veterans association at WaKeeney
next week. The reunion next year is
wanted in Goodland and the old sol
diers Of the ". S. Robertson post will
make a strong effort to secure, it. In
1892 the reunion was held here and We
terans all over this part of the state
still speak enthusiastically of the meet
ing and say they had the best time ever
enjoyed at a reunion.
The plan is to have the reunion here
on September 3, the fifteenth anniver-
sary of Goodland, and make the two
affairs one big event. Goodlsnd viii
guarantee the association the neces-
sary funds required of the town to
hold the reunion.
The sixteenth annual reunion of the
Northwestern Kansas Veteran associa-
ton viii be held in WaKeeney, Sept
ember Is and will continue four days.
Soldiers of the civil war, the Spanish
American war and the Philippine in
surreetiOn are cordially invited to be
present with their families and friends.
Citizens in general are also invited.
The old settlers of Trego county, in
which WaKeeney is located, viii hold
their annual meeting at the same time
and place. Gov. Stanley, Senators Bur
ton and Harris, Col. Tilton, Of Beatrice,
Neb-, Joseph Waters. of Topeka, and
Bishop McCabe, of the Methodist
church, will make addresses at the re-
union; and ample amusements viii be

camp accommodations viii be furnish
ed on the grounds. The executive com
mittee in charge of the reunion re-

a casket and prepared for burial
Owing to the inability to get train t.
this city until the TT ack was repaired
the remains did not arrive here until
$50 Sunday evening. The body was
taken from the depot to the late home
in a hearse accompanied By an escort
of trainmen.
News Of the wreck reached GOOdlsnd
shortly after the occurrence and a
special composed of engine and ca
boose hurried to the scene carrying
doctors, relatives Of the train crew and
local officials Of the road. The special
left a little before four o'clock and
reached Jennings two hours later.
A wreck train from Goodland followed
the special.
The injured men were brought to
Goodland Saturday night, reachin &
here at midnight and were at once
taken to their homes. Fireman Brink
er was able to ride home in carriage,
but it was necessary to carry Engineer
Biddison home on a stretcher. He was
suffering considerable pain and Opistes
were used to relieve him.
at this time Fireman Brinker is able
to be around but Engineer Biddison is
still confined to his home
The news of Earl Thorson being
killed in the wreck was a terrible
shock not only to the immediate mem
bers of the family but to everyone who
enjoyed an acquaintance with the
young man. Everyone who knew him
told of his cleverness and goodness of
heart. Having grown to manhood here
he was known to nearly everyone and
his cruel fate brought forth the deep
est expressions of sympathy for the
pitifuI grief into which his family was
thrown. He was in his 10Th year.
Earl Samuel Thorson was the eldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Thorson, of
this city. He was born in Sanway, Ill,
December %. 1873, and for 10 years his
home has been in GOodland. Six years
ago he entered the employ of the Rock
Island, most of that time being in the
capacity of a brakeman, and faithful
service and an agreeable disposition
made him popular with his associates.
He was a member of the Brotherhood
of Railroad Trainmen and the Odd
Fellows society. Four years ago he was
married to Miss Minnie Button. His
married life was beautiful, the most
devoted of husbands and a loving
father. Besides the widow he leaves q
little daughter, Lila; his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. E Thorson, four sisters, Mrs.
J. NJ. Cox and Mrs. J. W. Usher, Of
Pueblo, Misses Ray and Clara ThOrson,
and two brothers, Charles and Jesse,
and all we're present at the funeral

A RemarI-able Runawav.

Friday evening, while the storm here
was blowing hard from the south, on
the north line Of the county it was
blowing furiously from the north.
r. L. Peters, a prosperous farmer
and stock raiser living 10 miles north
and a mile east Of Goodland, reports a
remarkable runaway Of a farm wagon.
The wagon, with a heavy hay rack on,
was standing at the west end Of the
large barn in the farm yard, having
just been unIoaded and the team put
into the stable.
When the storm struck away went
the wagon as fast as though pulled by
q runaway team Of spirited horses, the
pole now blowing now plunging along
the ground. The wagon shot away like
an arrow, its course being remarkably
straight. 1t plunged through a three
wire fence, swapping the strands as
though they had been twine and break
ing the posts of like pipestems, and
sped away out into a corn field where
it was finally stalled in the soft
ground.
Mr.. Peters says, as he watched the
horseless runaway, he expected to see
the pole 90 into the ground and the
wagon smashed to pieces, but was sur
prised when he found that it was not
In the least injured.
