To be committed to the hospital
for the insane when not insane
is a most heinous offense and
most unjust. Not only does the
individual suffer while he lives,
but his children and children's
children after him. To be wrong
fully accused of being insane, al
though not committed. leaves a
stigma upon the individual that
will last as long as he lives.
II urgently request you to
make a thorough investigation of
The charges, all the records con-
corning which are in the clerks
Office of Marion county, Indiana,
at your disposal and if the facts
are found true every person par
ticipating in these wrongs should
be peremptorily discharged and
dismissed from the city's service.
Liberty must not be cheaper
ed by an utter, needless disre-
gard of the rights of the citizen
by the wanton recklessness of in
competent and unworthy public
servants"

FRANKLIN, Ind, July 26.-W.
E. Gray. stone contractor of
this city, was shot and instantly
killed yesterday afternoon at the
Red mills, near Boggstown, by
Mrs. Martin F'reese. The woman
was visiting relatives near there
and had gone to the creek to
fish. She also took a bath, and
Gray came upon her while she
was bathing, and, it is alleged,
insulted her. She came to town,
procured a revolver, and, accom-
panied by her husband, a former
employee of Gray, returned to
the place where he was working,
and, without word of warning,
she shot twice, the second bullet
piercing Gray's heart and caus-
ing instant death. Mrs. Freese
is still at large.

train and trolley traffic on the
bridge was stopped by the police
as a precautionary measure.
Twelve of the steel suspension
rods connecting the extreme
north cable with the outside
ends of the transverse Orders
which support the roadways, car
tracks, and footway were broken
because of the expansion on ac-
count of the heat of the bridge
structure.

A Craak on Clothes.

Sir Harry Poland, a British magis-
trate noted for his brilliancy, was al
ways careless in his dress. Once his
family persuaded him to go to Poole
and order fashionably cut suit. To
the chagrin of the household Sir Harry
looked more outlandish in the new
clothes than in his old ones. His broth
er-in-law went to see Poole about it.
at is not my fault, SIR" the tailor
assured him. Every care was taken,
but how could we fit gentleman who
would insist upon being measured sit
ting down."
And the only satisfaction that could
be obtained from Sir Harry Poland
himself later on was the dry comment:
well, it's my business and not yours
/ like to be comfortable. l spend three
parts of my life sitting down, and 1
preferred to be measured So"

Hot Weather Story.

WINAMAC, Ind, July 27,-For
several weeks the residents of
this quiet village on the banks
of the Tippecanoe have been
swelteripg in the heat of torrid
zone.
Squire A. r. Holiday and
Major R. B. Rogers, two prom
inent citizens of this, place hung
a thermometer in the branches
of a large white oak in front of
their place of business. They
hung the thermometer where the
torrid rays of the sun would
strike it.
The mercury rose slowly but
steadily, until it reached the top.
The pressure on the tube be-
came SO great that the tree grad
ually commenced to rise from
the ground until its roots were
released and the tree sailed
away like balloon, and disap-
peared in the far western hori-
zon.

squire, ''the darn newspapers

the prosecution called its levi

SCHLEY INQUIRY
Points TO be Covered by the Investisa-
ton Prescribed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 81
The precept to the Schley court
of inquiry, which the navy de-
partnent has been preparing for
several days, was given to the
public yesterday afternoon. 1t
is a document addressed to Adj
miral Dewey, as president of the
court, instructing him concern
ing the matters to be investigat-
ed. While it directs that the
''entire matter" of Schley's con-
duct during the operations in
West Indian waters shall be in
vestigated, making use of the
words employed by Admiral
Schley in his letter To Secretary
Long, it also selects certain dis
tinctive acts of the rear admiral
concerning the acts and propriety
of which it calls for particular
investigation.
These points cover briefly Ad-
miral Schley's alleged delay with
the flying squadron at Cienfue-
Cos; the slowness of his progress
toward Santiago after leaving
Cienfuegos; the retrograde move
ment toward Key West; the eff
fectiveness of the bombardment
of the Spanish feet at the ranges
used in the reconnaissance OF
May 81; the state of the coal sup
ply on various ships when he tel
egraphed the department that he
would return to Key West; the
loop of the Brooklyn at Santiago;
the accuracy of his reports, and
matters relating to the contrO-
versy between him andCommand-
er Hodgson over the alleged col
loquy which is said to have taken
place aboard the Brooklyn when
the loop was made during the
naval engagement off Santiago.
With the exception of the last
two counts, the others practically
sum up the criticisms of Admir-
al Schley's conduct made by Sec,
rotary Long to the senate, which
the secretary characterized as
Schley's ''reprehensible con
duct"
The court is composed of AID
miral Dewey and Rear Admirals
Kimberley and Benham, with
Captain Lemly as Judge advocate
general. 1t will meet September
-.

SWIFT FLAMES EATS MILLIONS
A Lighted Cigarette 6dreIessIu
Thrown Among Shdvings Starts
the Most Disastrous Fire the
Iowa 6itu ever Experienced and
Causes Immense Damage.

One million dollars worth of
property was destroyed and one
hundred families rendered home
less last evening by the most dis
astrous fire that Davenport has
even known. The Weyerhauser
& Denksmann lumber company
lost its mill and 100000 worth
of sawed lumber, and, in addi-
ton, seventy-five dwelling houses,
grocery stores and saloons are
wiped out, rendering hundreds
homeless.
The burned district covers al
most square mile and it was
not more than half an hour from
the discovery of the fire until
the district was a sea of flames
The Davenport fire department
was reinforced by the depart
ments from Rock Island and Mo-
line, Ill, but they seemed power
less to check the flames. Ten
firemen, including Chief Hastings
of the Rock Island fire depart
ment, were overcome by the heat
and carried away helpless and
recovery of one or two of them
is doubtful.
The fire is supposed to have
started from lighted cigarette
thrown among shavings. Soon
the great volume of smoke and
the changing of the bells on the
fire wagons as they hurried to the
east end of the city attracted the
attention of the people in the
down-tow district, and there
was a general rush TO the Chica-
go, Rock Island and Pacific yards
and that neighborhood.
From the rivers edge far back
to the bluff, and from a little east
of Beech street, as far as the eye
could see through the tall forks
of flame was a sea of fire, driven
by the strong wind from the riv-
er, and carrying sparks far up
into the Mount Ida neighbor-
hood. This kept the people in
that portion of the city fighting
fires which started in the dry
grass and on the roofs of dwell
ings. Everything being dry,
burned easily, and it was only by
the liberal use of water that hun
dreds of residences were saved.
Among the families living
along East River street, from
Federal to Mississippi avenue,
and along Swift, Case and Sixth
streets in the same limits, there
was CONSERVATION and a rush to
save as much of the household
possessions as possible. In most
cases it was little, indeed, that
was rescued from the flames, and
so rapid was the spread of the
fire that hundreds of families
barely escaped with their lives.
Aged and infirm people in many
Instances had to be carried many
blocks to places of safety, while
the seething flames pursued their
heroic rescuers. In short time
all the streets for mile around
we're the repositories of the fur
niture and the valuables of those
who had just left their homes in
time to see them go up in smoke
with the quickness of SO much
paper.

TRAVELLERS PROTECTIVE ASSO-
CITATION SECURES FIRST
CONCESSION
START MADE IN WISCONSIN
Believed That All Western Roads
VIII Soon Issue Mileage
Books Good on All Roads
Railroad Notes.

The agitation of the Travellers Protect
i've association for mileage tickets which
shall be good on all Western roads has
borne fruit, and there is promise that it
Will soon bear more. The Wisconsin Cen
trail has agreed to the proposition, and
has commenced to sell the new 2,000-mile
tickets and win accept Chicago & North
Western and Chicago, Milwaukee & st.
Paul 2,0OO-mile tickets over its roads.
Wisconsin travelling men can now buy
these tickets over one road which will be
accepted by every road in Wisconsin, ex-
cept the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic.
1t is believed that this concession will
shortly result in a move by all Western
railroads whereby travelling men will be
able to procure 5000 and 5,000-mile tickets
good on all Western roads. The old sys-
tenn, whereby a rebate of l cent mile
was given to people buying 2,0O0-mile
book, it is claimed, put them under addi-
tionaI expense. They were obliged to
pay 81 for every rebate book, which
amounted to quite sum with travelling
men who make 10000 miles a year.
The railroad committee of the Travel
ers' Protective association intends to keep
up its fight to secure further concessions
from the railroads, and A. II. Richard
son, chairman of the committee, says he
believes that within two years every road
in the Western Passenger association
will be selling 5000 and 5,0aG-mile tickets
good on all or any of it's lines.

STOLEN BY AN ACTRESS
DOLLY RICHARDS RESTORED TO
PARENTS AFTER SEVEN YEARS.

CHICAGO, Oct 19-Abducted when but
four years of age and placed on the
stage as an actress while her parents
nourned her as dead, Dolly Richards to-
day, for the first time in seven years,
was again in the arms of her father
and mother in their home here.
Dolly was abducted by an actress
named Adelia Andrews from Brazil, Ind,
in 1894. The abductor was known, but
the police exhausted themselves without
discovering her. Meanwhile Adelia An
drews had trained the child to sing and
dance, and three years ago both went
on the vaudeville stage. Recently the
Andrews woman! died. but before breath
ing her last she sent a message to her
old home in Brazil asking for aid.
Mr.. Richards Doliy's father, heard OF
the message, and Thursday was over
joyed to learn that the police, to whom
he had appealed, had located the child
in Omaha. She was in the care of au-
thorities of that city, her abductor hay
ing died. Mr.. Richards went to Omaha
and secured possession of his daughter.
She had almost forgotten both of them,
but today she said memories of her baby
hood days were coming back to her.
