|OSteOpdthy is
Not Patchwork

Osteopathy as a science of heal
ing was not constructed as a he
terogeneous patchwork of many
conflicting ideas and agencies. 1t
is system based upon a funda-
mental conception of health and
disease so true that, grow and de-
velop as much as the system may,
| if will never conflict with this ba-
sic principle upon which the
whole grand science is reared.
DR.. A. r. Still enunciated his
views at the founding of the new
school in these words:
1. "Health is natural; disease
and death, between the time OF
birth and old age, are unnat-
ural."
2. "All bodily disorders are
the result of mechanical obstruc-
ton to the free circulation of vital
fluids and forces"
Are not these fundamental
principles most rationale
Have you ever investigated the
tenets of any system of healing
which seemed more rational?
Osteopathy is nothing if not
common sense.

Notwithstanding the efforts
which have been made from time
to time to prevent boys and girls
from reading trashy blood-and-
thunder novels, this class of liter
ature continues to circulate, and
is as eagerly sought by many of
the youths of today as in years
gone by. Only very recently a
case of the influence Of the dime
novel On the minds Of youths was
revealed in Philadelphia, when a
boy less than - years of age
pawned a favorite and valuable
violin in order to procure a re-
volver with which he ended his
life. He was a persistent reader
of blood-curdling, peace-disturb-
ing dime novels. 1t is stated that
several girls in this city of be-
tween Is and Is years of age,
failed to pass in examination at
the end of last school term, due
to the intense interest they dis
played in reading how the hero
bravely rescued the lovely girl
from death. With the novels
spread out between the pages of
a geography they were dill
gent scholars. Doubtless more
harm is done the young from
reading such books than by any
other evil influence, and yet no
one ever hears of any effort be-
ing made by members of the Leg
islature to restrict even the ale
of this sort of dGbasing litera-
ture. Parents should pay more at
tention to what class Of literature
their children are addicted to
reading, and should instill in
their minds the injurious effect it
will have on their future lives.

Head Of Peoria Schools
S1EALINGS MAY REACH HALF MILLION

PEORIA, Ills, Oct. 5.-Newton c.
Dougherty, for 80 years superintendent
of the city schools, was indicted to-
day on a charge of embezzlement for
msappropriation of school funds, and
he has been arrested. The amount
is variously estimated at from $4,000

issued false bills for supplies. He had
the absolute confidence of the board

years he has been considered wealthy.
He owned property in the city of St.
Louis and large interests in Peoria,
Arizona and the Salt River valley,
which are said to have been losing
ventures 1t is claimed that he dump
ed a large share Of this upon Colonel
James M. Rice, who lost every dollar
he mad. Dougherty also lost $4,000 in
the first big steel slump.
Dougherty is eX-president and is
now member of the executive COM
mittee of the National Educational as
sociation. He is said to have been an
inveterate speculator. The full ex-
tent of his discrepancy is unknown.
1t is even said it may reach a half
million dollars.
Dougherty was born in Pennsylva-
, mia in 1S47, the son of a farmer. He
graduated at college in 1868. He be-
came superintendent of schools at Nor
ris, Pa, in 1869 and came to Peoria

MANY NEWSPAPERS WERE SUBSIDIZED

NEW YARK, Oct. 5.-Edward I.
Devlin, head of the real estate depart
ment of the New York Life, was a
witness before the insurance investi-
eating committee this morning. He
was examined in regard to the realty
investments of the company. He
showed that millions are invested
yielding a net income of from less than
one per cent to a little under three
He declared that investments were
made at low rates in the previous
regime of the company.
Devlin was excused and Cornelius c.
White, auditor of the New York Life
was called. He said that $111,000 given
to Andrew Hamilton was charged to
the tax account. In September 1904
$4,000 was given to Hamilton and
charged to taxes but was later trans
ferred to the account Of contingent
expenses. White was excused.

panies paid a share of the expenses.
Thummel admitted that the Mutual

of the contributions was that the Off

would cause tariff and other agitation

that he had nothing to do with the pro-

OLDEST BARONIAL MANSION IN
THE UNITED STATES WAS
SOLD AT JOHNSTOWN.
Fort Erected by Sir William Johnstown
Upon Grant of Land Made
BY King George.

JOHNSTOWN, N. Y, Oct. 5.-An
interesting real estate transaction
was placed on record in the county
recorders office today. 1t involves the
sale of the lands belonging to the
Akin estate, and embracing Fort
Johnston, the Oldest baronial mansion
in the United States, to Ethan and
Louis Akin of Grundy county, Iowa,
for a consideration of $4,000. The es-
tate was divided into twenty parcels.
The first parcel sold to the two
brothers included Fort Johnston,
which for many years has been the
Mecca of students of history. The
fort was sold for $4,000.
Various historical socities have at
different times contemplated buying
the old stone fort and mansion, but
the Akin family would not part with
it at any price. 1t is now believed
that the big estate will be divided
into building lots, and that the Old
fort, which is still in a good state of
preservation, will be left with few
acres of ground around it. The fort
was the first substantial building erect
ed by Sir William Johnston in this
section of the state after he had re-
cefved a grant of $4,000 acres of land
from King George H., of England.
This fort was the scene Of many sklr-
mishes with the Indians ana also OF
many peace conferences with the red
men whom Sir William subdued.

Camas Prairie, and the other tapping
the w. & c. r. at Warren and leading
off through the Middle Cold Spring
country to Cold Spring station on the
Columbia river. This project has been
contemplated for some time and, though
the railroad officials are not ready as
yet to make formal announcement of
the new feeder, it is known that the
line will be constructed within the
next five years.
Work of preparing the plats for the
line covering the entire territory men,
toned is now in progress and it is
expected that engineering parties
will be in the field in the near future.
Ukian is to be the terminus of the
feeder and already people are looking
to the Camas Prairie town as a COM
ing city of the interior. The company
will be able to draw business from
many miles in southern and GEN.
trail Oregon, which will consist chiefly
of sheep and cattle shipping. The
country, it is maintained, will be de-
voted more extensively to farming aft
er the road is built as the products
will be brought close to a market by
means of the proposed feeder.
The line extending from Warren sta
tion to Cold Spring station, on the
other hand, will tap a rich wheat
producing country and the company
will be able to control the shipping of
wheat in the northwestern part of
Umatila county.
