No matter how prosperous or well

ALL OF THEM IDENTIFIED
As Result of the DespolIino of Graves Seventeen Persons Have Been Placed Under Arrest, One
 the Confessed Leader.

Indianapolis, October 13.-Four dead bodies were found tied In sacks in Georgia street in the rear of the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons this morning. The bodies were identified as those of Mrs. Johanna Stilz, stolen from the Ebenezer cemetery, Miss G. Gates, stolen from Anderson cemetery; Wallace Johnston, stolen from Ebenezer cemetery, and Mrs. Catherine Doehring, stolen from the German Catholic cemetery. All these cemeteries are near the city line About o'clock this morning bicycle pa trolment were sent to Meridian and Georgia streets on a telephone message that there were bodies there. When the police arrived they were directed to a dry goods box on the sidewalk in Georgia street, opposite a wholesale dry goods store. On the top of the box, in a sitting posture was body tied in a sack. The form could plainly be seen. It was identified as that of Mrs. Stilz. The patrolmen looked in the box and found another body also tied in a sack. The city dispensary ambula oe was called to the place and the bod were sent to the morgue.
 young man who telephoned for the police was still there and he told the police that while on his way to work, in passing the rear end of the Central College of Physicians and Surgeons in South Pennsylvania street, he noticed two sacks filled with something lying near the rear door of the college. When he walked into Georgia street and saw the body sitting on the dry goods box, he realize. that the sacks in the rear of the college probably contained bodies. Olfcers hurried to the Central college building and took charge of the bodies lying in the alley. Each was tied se- curely in a sack. When the sacks were cut open 1t was found that they con- tained the bodies of Miss Gates and Wallace Johnson. The finding of the bodies is thought to be due to the efforts of detectives who for several days have been talking with physicians not con- nected with any of the colleges, to use their influence in having the stolen bodies returned to the relatives. Seventeen per- sons are now under arrest for grave robbing, including nine negroes, three white doctors, one colored undertaken a proprietor of a cemetery, two night watchmen at a cemetery and a night watchman. It is supposed at least 100 graves have been despoiled within the last three months.
 Rufus Cantrill, colored, is the confessed leader of the gang. Judge Afford, in his instructions to the grand jury today told them to go to the bottom of the outrage and punish every man for his part in it, regardless of his prominence.

SHOOTING WAS HAsTY.
Responsibility of Durham's Death Was
 Placed on the Soldier.

Shenandoah, October 13.-The coroner's jury in the case of William Durham. who was shot and killed on Wednesday night last by Private Arthur Wadsworth of the Eighteenth regiment national guard, to- day returned verdict placing the re- sponsibility of the death upon Wads- worth. expressing the belief that the shooting was nasty and unjustifable, and recommended that the matter be placed in the hands of the district attorney for investigation.
 Wadsworth was on guard at the house of a non-unionist- Durham approached the house. and paying not attention to Wadsworth's order to halt, was shot and killed by the soldier. It is supposed Dur ham did not hear the command to nalt or he thought the guard his friend.

The Origin of Petroleum.

The majority Of French and Russian
chemists support the inorganic origin
theory which regards the oil as formed
by the condensation under pressure of
gases liberated by the action OF wa
ter on metallic carbides Gust as ace
tylene is now commercially produced).
American biologists and German
chemists, on the other hand, favor the
organic theory-that is, that the oil
was formed directly from the remains
Of animals or plants. Some of them,
notably Hofer and Eng1er, the German
chemists, consider petroleum of purely
animal origin, whereas others believe
certain types, such as the oil of Penn
sylvaria, for instance, to have been
derived from vegetable remains. At
the meeting of German men of science
at Munich in 1899 Kramer brought
forward the view that petroleum is
formed by the decomposition, under
pressure, of the wax at the bottom of
lakes and seas, which consists Of the
remains of diatoms. He called atten-
ton to the fact that infusorial earth
exists in beds of enormous extent..in
districts where petroleum is found.
During the discussion OF Kramer's pa
per Engler admitted that some oil
might be formed in this manner, but.
stated his belief that the majority Of
it was derived from the submarine de-
composition OF fish. The probability.
10 that petroleum Is OF both animal and
vegetable origin.

THE SMILE CURE FOR BLUES.
Turn Up the Corners OF the Mouth, and
Melancholy Departs.

A we'll known doctor of Minneapolis
who has made a speciality Of nervous
diseases, has found a new remedy cor
he "blues." AS no drugs are admin
stored, he has felt safe in experiment
ng with at least half a hundred mel
ancholy patients, and now declares
! himself thoroughly satisfied with the
good results OF his treatment. His pre-
scription reads something like this:
"If you keep the of your
mouth turned up you can't feel blue"
The directions for taking are: Smile
Seep on smiling-don't stop smiling"
It sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Well,
ust try turning up the corners of your
mouth, regardless of your mood, and
see how it makes you feel; then draw
The corners of your mouth down and
lote the effect, and you will be willing
20 declare there's something in it.
The doctor treats his nervous pa
tents to medicine when necessary, but
when the case is one of pure mel
lncholy without bodily i'll, he simply
recommends the smile cure. He has
the patient remain in his Office and
smile, if it isn't the genuine article, it
must at least be an upward curvature
Of the corners of the mouth, and the
better feeling follow inevitably. The
treatments are followed up regularly.
and the patients all testify to their
good effect. It takes considerable per-
iuasion to induce some Of them to ap-
ply the cure, and, of course, the greater
number of patients are women, for
when a mar is blue he is bound to be
blue in spite of everything, but . wo-
man is ore easily persuaded to try to
lind a cure.
The doctor declares that il persons
will only draw down the corners OF
their mouths and use sufficient will
power they can actually shed tears. On
the other hand. if they will persistently
keep the corners of the mouth turned
up, pleasant thoughts will chase away
the gloomy forebodings. His discov-
cry grew out of an experience in his
own home. His wife was of a nervous
and rather morbid temperament, and
when in a respondent mood he would
ask her to "smile a little" until the
saying came to be a household joke.
But it brought about good results, and
then came the inspiration to try the
same cure on others.
The doctor has not patented his rem
edy and it is free to all who choo@ TO
take advantage OF it.-Minneapolis Tri-
bune.
