He came here in 1892, and es-
tablished hospital, to which he gave
the poetic name of Rose Villa 1t
was large residence on Liberty hill,
in South Hudson. He advertised in
a most extensive manner in papers
far and near, and patients came in
by points, but also from remote cities
even from the Pacific coast. He
accepted all patients that came, and
promised sure cure. He had re-
markable success in getting money,
demanding pay of his patients before
treatment, which they, strange as it
may seem, willingly paid, so great
was his prestige and their faith in
his skill.
He was an accomplished singer,
possessing a voice of peculiar sweet
ness, and, with his wife, sang duets
every Sunday evening at one of the
local churches. The church was al
ways crowded on account of his sing
ing, and the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Lumley,
was so carried away by DR.. Arons
that he resigned his pastorate in or
der to become his private secretary
He regretted this, however, and be-
came one of the doctors severest de-
nouncers.
So great was the "bonesetter's" sue
cess financially, mis- first year in Hud-
son, that his secretary declared he
took in at least 100000. He spent his
money lavishly, giving freely to all
charitable and other worthy under
takings.
1t was here that he met Mrs. Edna
Kempker, his wife No. 1, and it was
she who brought about his downfall
wnen she discovered that he had mar
ried again in Minneapolis last sum-
mer.
After DR.. Arons had practiced here
for a year. his life became a trying
one. Duped patients began to demand
back their money and failing, sued.

THERE WAS VERY SATISFACTORY
MOVEMENT OF GRAIN AT
COAST POINTS.
LuII In Demand for MiIlinq-CaIifor
MIA Trade lnterferred With for
Lack of Tonnage.

There has been a very satisfactory
movement in wheat during the past
week. Demands have been we'll MAIN
tanned from Europe, and in conse-
quence exporters have been in the
market at the full limit of prices in
orier to provide for business as it de-
velops. There has been a lull in the
milling demand, and California trade
has been interfered with to some ex-
tent by lack of tonnage, though this
has been partially overcome by fur
Their special charters to carry wheat
down the coast, according to the West
Coast Trade. So far as other sources
of buying are concerned, there is not
much spot business, and Europe has
had the call. Values nave shown
further hardening tendency, largely
local in character, and prices have
been raised another cent by exporters
to 76c for bluestem and 73c for club.
Cargoes are being put aboard with
considerable celebrity, ard the next
few weeks will show active shipments.
Selling is comparatively Free in spite
of the fact that there are still many
holders who are imbued with the
idea that wheat must go still higher
and are hanging onto a portion of
their crop with that end in view.
Wheat is coming to tidewater in fair
quantities, and the total for October
will be larger than for any month for
several seasons, passing 1000 cars by
fair margin.
In the general situation the short
age of rolling stock for moving grain
has had tendency to limit opera
tons, and to some extent has been
responsible for strength at terminal
points, while unsettled weather for
fall seeding has likewise impaired
some vigor to the situation. Wheat at
Chicago closed about one cent higher
than a week ago. In the Pacific
northwest continued wet weather has
made it probable that the usual
amount of fall sowing will not be done
before the cold weather sets in.

Plan of Financing.
1t is said there that a plan has
been devised to form a company with
a capital stock of $75,0OO,000 to be
placed in the treasury of the Milwau-
kee, which in turn will guarantee an
issue of first moragtge bonds to be
made by the new corporation.
This issue will probably be for $25,-
100000. That amount should be suf-
ficient to pay for past tide land ter

Harmony Exists.

In an interview in New York Mon

Northern Pacific Railroad company,
said that harmony prevailed between
the Hill and the Hartman railroad
interests, despite recent reports from
the west that fresh rupture had oc-

much inclination to create a situation
that does not exist. There is no fric

along smoothly. There is no parallel

Northern Pacific and the Union Pa

unchanged. 1t is not true that the

blue eyes. she was strong, had rather
large hands, and feet for woman,
and walked with a mannish stride.
In spite of these things, a slight
harshness of voice and the increasing
growth of hair on her face, she never
had the slightest suspicious of the
change in life she was undergoing.
Her ideals remained female, her taste
was feminine, she chose girl COM
panions, she painted, sewed and did
all the other things that women do.
She had men friends and girl friends,
and was popular with both. Miss
Best devoted herself to several wo-
mems clubs to which she belonged,
to her church and to her charitable
work, living a life of usefulness and
endearing herself more and more to
her friends.
Change From Woman to Man.
Miss Best was always aware of the
streak of mannishness in ner, but did
not think it was any greater than had
manifested itself in many other wo-
seriously Of the matter until few
years ago, when her beard began to
grow so fast that it became necessary
for her to shave every day. In spite
of this growth, she kept her secret
from every one save those who lived
with her. The beard Inundated her
to some extent, but never gave her
the slightest suspicion that she was
undergoing any sexual change.
1t was a little over two weeks ago
that Miss Best was brought to sud-
den realization Of her condition. She
knew then for the first time that she
was not a woman, but a man. She
was Frustrated by the blow, and con-
suited her physician. DR.. Finley was
brought into the case, and he had
Miss Best removed to the French
Benevolent hospital, where an opera
ton was performed, which confirmed
what Miss Best had suspected.
Frustrated by Shock.
When the news was broken to Miss
Best she was very i'll for time. She
was told, however, that outside OF the
shock she had nothing to fear, that
she could assume the sex of a man
freely and without embarrassment
but that it was obviously impossible
for her to continue to live, as a wom-
an.
Miss Best left the hospital in the
clothing in which she entered and
went to her home in Brooklyn. There
ARRANGEMENTS were quickly made for
her removal to st. Louis, from which
point she will make her plunge into
the world as a man. Before Miss Best
could leave, however, the realization
of the change that had come over her
Frustrated her again and she has
been ill in bed ever since.
Will Tell Medical World.
DR.. Finley would not go into the
details of the case, saying that they
would all be given in time to the
medical world through a report ne
will make of the case through the col
umns of some medical journal.

When Traitors Heads Adorned Lon

London in 100 was comparatively
small city Of about 100000 inhabit-
ants, the rough and Ill kept main roads
to which had been but slightly improv-
cd since Tudor times. The CHASTITY
spectacle of many of the trees on the
Southwark road bending under their
burden of hanged men had indeed been
slightly modified, but none the less the
decomposing heads of TRAITORS still
filled the atmosphere about London
brkigc and Temple bar with myrIads
Of baneful microbes.
Our immediate forbears were eyi-
dently not overparticular about sight
and smells. They were accustomed
to see men sitting in the pillory pelted
with rotten eggs and possibly included
among their immediate circle not a
few who had been deprived Of their
noses and ears for expressing too free
ly their opinions, political and religious.
The drains were in an appalling con-
ditton. The innumerable churchyards
were SO full Of collins that they often
projected through the turf. Bear and
bull batting, dog fights and boxing
matches were attended even by royal
ty ns late as 1920, and five years later
all the "dnndies" in London were pay
ing nigh prices to stand In the carts
round Tyburn to behold twenty-five Of
their fellow creatures hanged for mis-
demeanors which in our time would be
punished with few days imprison-
ment.-Saturday Review.

are multifarious unguents secret prep.

Is washed over with milk into which

The hair of the oriental woman is

The anatomy Of the nervous system

Cayal showed that the specific brain
cell is an Independent unit provided
with multiple processes, by means OF
which 1t is capable Of acting not
through one nerve alone, but several.
This independent brain unit or cell Is
called neuron.
A simple illustration Of how the neu-

that the name is there, but we cannot
recall 1t. We get various names near

What is supposed to happen is that
the particular cell of intellection which
we are using throws out its process
