$4,000 FOR A COLLEGE
wINDFALL FOR THE PHYSIO-MED-
ICAL OF INDIANAPOLIS.
an AIumnus, I'm the City to Raise
the Money.

Yesterday was a red-letter day for the
Physio- Medical College of Indiana. At the
afternoon session of the Indiana State AS
ISOLATION of ysio-Medical Physicians and
Surgeons action was taken which assures
a new $4,000 building for the college, to be
completed and ready for students next fall.
For four years the trustees and alumni of
the college have been planning for a new
building, and the contamination of their
plans Is due largely to the energy and gen.
erosity of DR.. ]. l.. Johnson, of Los An
geles. Cal. who was graduated from the
institution five years ago. Shortly after
locating in California DR.. Johnson secured
some mining property which proved valu-
able. company was organized to, devel-
op the claims and DR.. Johnson retained
large block of the stock. OF his holdings
he has given to the college sufficient num-
Der of shares to realize $4,000. This stock
was offered to the members of the asso-
citation at this convention at &c 2-3 cents
on the dollar. DR.. Johnson is here to ne
gotiate the deal. and yesterday afternoon
the meeting was given over to him. He
called for subscriptions, stating that he
would accept nothing but cash or checks,
and in a few minutes he had sold $1,000
worth and held cash or checks amounting
to over $11 900.
The result surprised even the most san
guine of the physicians present. DR.. 1. s.
Harold, of Richmond, headed the list of
subscriptions with one for $500 OF the
stock, and he was followed with subscrip-
tons Of $1,000 by DR.. n. ID. Woodland, In
dianapolis; DR.. j. o. Morrison, Anderson;
DR.. j. NJ. Thurston, Richmond; DIR. j. A.
Stafford, Millville; DR.. j. A. Morehouse,
Labanon. Drs. II. T.. Ward, Anderson, and
e. Il. Milligan, Winchester, subscribed $500
each, and there were numerous smaller
subscriptions ranging from $50 to $500.
DR.. Johnson announced that he had, in
addition to the sales during the afternoon,
had the money in bank. This gives a to-
tai of almost $4,000 in the fund and as
Sures the erection of the building. DR..
Johnson stated that he would stay in In
dianapols until the building is well under
way.
The Physiological College at present
owns and occupies a remodeled church
North streets. 1t is the intention to sell
this property, which Is valued at $1,000 or
$1S,000 and buy a site for the new building
in section OF the city where a hospital
can be successfully maintained.
The association held sessions yesterday
forenoon and last night, in addition to the
business meeting in the afternoon, and dis
posed of a programme including the pre-
sentation and discussion of a number of
papers on technical subjects. Physiology"
"Gynaecology," Physiology and Histology"
and "PediatricS' were the subjects dis
cussed. At the session this forenoon there
will be demonstrations with an X-ray ma
chine, and this afternoon officers will be
elected. The convention is being held in

SID CONGER BEwAILs FATE.


Sid Conger, state oil inspector. returned
from his Shelby county farm yesterday,
chastened and subdued in spirit but ami
mated by deadly purpose to get revenge
on the weather man. Incidentally, he is
not on the most friendly terms with the
newspapers that publish the weather fore
casts. The reason for all this is, first, that
Mr.. Conger has been sorely afflicted in his
tenderest spot-his strawberry patch-and,
second that the frost that did the work
came twenty-four hours before il was
scheduled to arrive by the weather man.
~ had two acres of the finest strawberries
that you ever saw" he said in detailing his
woes, land the worst of it is that L was
prepared for a frost and had the straw
between the rows of plants ready to cover
them at the first alarm. The evening be-
fore the frost came l had feeling that
/ ought to cover the plants, but the papers
all said the frost was not to be feared un-
til the next night. 1t was cloudy early in
the night, too, and that treasured me a
little, but the next morning L found that
practically every plant was done for for
this season. A few of the smaller plants
that were protected by the larger ones
escaped, but the crop will not be One-tenth
what 1t ought to be.
II make ii a rule to have a gallon of
strawberries on my table at every meal
during the season, but this spring I'll do

I'd just followed my own judgment and in
clination / would have been prepared for

that / have a good cause for action against
the weather man."
Mr.. Conger's cup of sorrow would be full
to overlooking but for the fact that spring
chickens are not susceptible to damage by
frost. When the subject of conversation
was gently switched from fruit to fowl, he
frightened perceptibly and began to take
heart again. The chickens are all right,
he said, and his crop" will be larger and

FORT WAYNE REPUBLICANS.
They Are Vastly Pleased Over Their
victory i'm the Recent Election.

Victory IN the recent EIect1Ons
DR.. c.. b. McGoogan, of Fort Wayne, dep
uty United States revenue collector, who
was in the city yesterday, says that the
Republicans of his city are still jollifying
over the result of the municipal election
Tuesday
THE result was a surprise to the most
sanguine Republicans" he said land an
earthquake could not have surprised the
Democrats more. The Democrats were as
sorting with the utmost confidence that
they would elect eighteen of the twenty
councilmen, and they claimed more than
a fighting chance in the other two, which
were the only wards regarded as Republic
an under the usual conditions. The Repub-
licans did not dare hope to carry the city,
but when the votes were counted II was
found that they had fourteen of the coun-
cilmen and all three of the water works
trustees.
1.-The German vote has the credit of the
landslide. The Republicans have never
been able in the past TO make any inroads
on the Democratic strength among the
Germans but Tuesdays election shows that
almost all the German voters came over
to the Republican side. And believe they
met several of them who had voted the
Democratic ticket for years who made no
secret of the fact that they had voted with
the Republicans Tuesday and they were
most enthusiastic over the result They
alluded to it as our victory and that
shows / believe, that they are with us for
the next election
DIR. McGoogan was asked what effect the
election in Fort Wayne would have on the
Twelfth district in the next campaign.
Its hard to tell just what the effect
will be-" he replied. Municipal elections
do not always show which way the wind
blows in a state election but believe that
the Republicans will carry the district
next year and elect the congressman"
DIR. McGoogan was a candidate for the
Republican congressional nomination last
year, and he is regarded a probable can
didate in the next campaign, but he smiled
and side-stepped the issue when the ques-
ton was put TO him yesterday.
