grave Of former Gov. HOgg at Austin.
Monday morning the body lying in
state in the reception room Of the
state capitol, was viewed by thousands.
The funeral took place in the afternoon.
Intermcnt was made by the side OF his
wife.
In accordance with a request made
by the ex-governor several months ago,
when he was thought to be dying In
Fort Worth. the only monument that
will mark the grave will be pecan and
walnut trees, n planted at the head
and the other at the foot Of the grave.
It was the dying wish Of the deceased
that the people Of Texas might come
and gather nuts from the trees for
planting in other localities.

PRAYER IN LIEU OF MEDICINE
Is NOT UP TO DATE.
20 Upholds the city Health DE.
partment In Interfering.

Chicago.-The municipal heath
department Is justified In forcibly in-
terfering in cases Of extreme sickness.
where the services Of a physician are
refused. according to an opinion rem
dered by Corporation Counsel Lewis.
Since the advent Of John Alexander
Dowie in Chicago, many cases Of this
nature have been brought to the no
tice Of the city authorities, but no def
mite action has ~ been taken In such
cases until now, when prayer instead
of medicine was being used in the
treatment Of Mrs. Ella Turner, who 10
a believer in Dowie's teachings. The
woman had been suffering for over "a
hours, and her life was in imminent
peril, As her condition called for an i'm
mediate operation. Instead Of calling
. physician the woMan's husband and
relatives appealed to Overseer Voliva
Of Zion City, who sent n Of his dea-
o n to pray for her. The woman's
pain increased 80 much that her cries
attracted the attention Of q neighbor,
who reported the case to the police. The
police at ono placed the mat.
ter In the hands Of the health de-
partmcnt. and was referred to Corpora
ton Counsel Lewis. who expressed the
opinion that the health department was
justified in interfering in such extreme
cases. A physician vas at once sent to
attend the woman and her suffering was
stopped.
