WIFE SUPPORTS HUSBAND
ON TRIAL FOR PERJURY

Surrounded by his children and with
his wife sitting at his side G. M. Lincoln
the man held in Jail on charges of per-
Jury in connection with the divorce suit
Of Augusta H. ]. Hurth against r. C.
Hurth, sat in the court of Judge William
James yesterday morning awaiting the
decision of the court on his application
for freedom on writ of habeas corpus
taken out by Attorney Axtelle.
Unfortunately for Lincoln his attorney
had failed to notify the office of the
district attorney of the writ of habeas
corpus and Deputy District Attorney Asa
Keyes urged this as a cause for delay.
Judge James postponed the hearing until
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.

The names of the attendant physicians
IL the statements include many of the
most prominent surgeons and specialists
in New York and America, as well as in
London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Goettin-
gen and Stockholm. The number aver
ages about five physicians to each case,
ranging from one to as many as eight
cen. In practically every case, however.
the attitude of the patient toward the
physician is only one of high regard and
sincere affection. Many of the state-
ments refer pointedly to this feeling.
Materia medica and surgery are freely
r | harshly criticised and condemned,
but everywhere the doctor is recognized
as an earnest comrade in arms, battling
shoulder to shoulder with the patient
and utilizing every known means to aid
recovery. In many cases the physicians
were apparently warm personal friends
of the patients. Indeed, judging from the
records, seldom does the Christian Scien-
tist show any apparent hostility to his
physician AS one invalid testified: II
did not give up my doctors; they gave
me up"
The charge has often been made
against Christian Science healing that 1t
costs too much, so much, in fact, as to
place It beyond the reach of the poor.
It has been argued in this connection
that the majority of Christian Scientists
are people Of wealth. Careful investiga-
tion proves that the latter statement is
omen to question, as was pointed out in

Youngstown, O.-The relatives OF

murdered in the Orient, are looking
for a small fortune which was left by

unable to locate the will and valuable

UNEQUAL TAXES.

Why. for instance. should land
worth $40 an acre be returned in one
county at 81, In another at SO and in
another perhaps at $40? Land worth
$40 an acre in the market is worth as
much for taxation in one county as in
another, and what the state needs. II

tsblish system of uniformity about

brought into question when other
property owners OF the state are per
mitted to make returns at 30 per cent

TAXING MUNICIPAL BONDS.

There has been agitation in some
places against the constitutional
amendment which exempted Ohio mu-
nicipal bonds from taxation. Massa-
chusetts. municipalities just now are
experiencing considerable difficulty in
selling bonds and the Boston Tran
script holds that II the taxes were
removed II would help their sale:
The difficulty which this city and
others are experiencing in finding a
market for their municipal securities
makes It a highly opportune time to
urge their exemption from taxation by
the next Legislature. as means OF
making them somewhat more attrac-
tive to the investor. II Is utterly
senseless for public authority to take
money out Of one pocket to put 1t into
another. This is what the taxation
OF public securities of all sorts
amounts to wherever and to the ex.
tent that the taxes are collected, and
a worse trade than this where the
taxes are evaded. The liability to tax
alton must be always in the mind of
and so a controlling factor in their
rate of return to the city, The effect
upon our state bonds of their recent
exemption from taxation has been
clearly demonstrated. If the exemp-
tion should be accorded TO future is

Deformed BY Cruel Treatment Accord
ino to Charue Against Farmer.

Gettysburg, O.-Startling charges OF
cruelty toward lad of 13 years are
made against Martin l.. Bowersax, a
wealthy farmer, residing near here,
who has been placed under arrest. The
boy, Charles Byrne. was formerly an

to hang him, and to have beaten him

A great popular demonstration took
place recently In Belgium. Over Co.
600 persons marched through the
streets of Brussels to the city half to
ask for obligatory education. The pc
tition presented to the mayor was
signed by 100000 names. Nearly one
fourth of the population of Belgium is
illiterate, although the law offers free
education to those who cannot pay for
1t. There is supposed to be primary
school for every commune over $500,
but only meager grant is allowed.
and the teaching is often of the poor
est. The schools are managed by the
commune and not by the government,
and any private place of instruction
may be selected as the communal
school, Education practically ceases

soon forgotten, and the relapse into
Indifference and ignorance is inevi-
table. The schools are inspected once
a year. Although the technical schools
Of Belgium are fine, the primary sys-
