Sunbury trains track. The car struck
the caboose, badly smashing it The
force of the collision threw Wetzel
out the front door and he fell beneath
the caboose and the first car of his
train. The impact carried the cabin
car over his body before the engineer
could stop his engine.
Wetzel's body was almost severed in
two diagonally and he died thirty
minutes later. The remains, in
charge by Williamsport undertaken,
were taken to Sunbury Saturday even

The deceased was born in Novemb ber

that the x-Congressman's charges are
false, and that Mrs. Warner and her

Mrs. Warner began the fight to Sc

600 estate of the banker, who died in
1905, refusing to abide by the terms
Of an antenuptial contract which gave
her an annuity OF $500 and $4,000.
She declared that her husband had in
duced her to sign this agreement by
fraud and by grossly misrepresenting
the amount Of his property. Hence sk9
contends that the agreement is void.
The widows claim is considered so
strong that she Is said to have been
offered 100000 by vespasian Warner,
executor of the will, and his sister,
Flora Warner McDermott. She refused
The offer, it is declared, and the
charges followed in an amendment to
the executors answer to the widows
petition.
This amendment argues that, since
Mrs, Robinson deceived her husband,
the amounts provided for her in the
ante-nuptial contract are all she should
have.
Mr.. Warner afIirms that Isabella
Warner Is the daughter Of Stephen
Robinson, an Ohio negro. The Commits
sioner of Pensions claims he has
searched the country for afiidavits
bearing outs his claim. Most OF them
were secured in Norwalk, Ohio, former

A UNIFORM INDIAN RELIGION.
indian to De Given Instruction thai
VIII Not Defuddle Htna.

A form of Christian religion that will
not befudde the Indian is being arranged
now By experts in the Indian Department
at Washington, and is to be introduced
in the government Indian schools through
out the United States. The Indian
bureau expects to have the form ready
the autumn terms.
The new policy will bar sectarian in.
fuences from Indian schools. At pres.
ent ministers of all denominations are
allowed TO practice their respective creeds
In the government schools, together with
a particular kind OF teaching and prayers
The result Is that the Indian pupils be
come confused. They find the Lords
prayer read and printed In different ways
and different constructions placed upon
some passages of the Scripture.
Henceforward, however, after the uni
form religious code has been introduced
only non-sectarian exercises will be per
mitted. Each denomination, however
will be allowed to instruct Indians who
desire to embrace particular faith, but
there Is to be no more competition among
denominations for converts.
All Indian tribes originally had form
OF religious worship, which was adhered
to with surprising persistency. The at
tempts to convert the red man, however
have been unceasing since the first dis
coveries Of the American continent by
white men. The first white man to live
among the Indian tribes of this locality
was a Spanish priest, who, with the in
tention of converting the Indians, came
into this country with Coronado during
the seventeenth century and remained
with the Pawnees. Eventually he wal
tortured and murdered by tho peoplt
whom he sought to convert.

NEW YORK.

High temperatures have stimulated
crop development as a whole, helped re-
tail trade in light summer wear goods and
improved recorder business for the latter
with jobbers, all these influences favor
ing some growth of the feeling that early
poor starts in crops and trade have been
largely made up for. There is about the
usual midsummer quiet in future trade
lines, but fall samples are prepared, low
rate excursions begin next month, ship
ments of fall goods are increasing and
collections have improved at various mar
kets. Industry exhibits a lull in some
lines, notably iron and steel in its cruder
forms, though the immediate effect of the
strike of iron ore miners in Minnesota
has been to stimulate, temporarily at
least, the demand for pig lion at all
markets.

Despite the hot weather business activ

y satisfactory demand continues in lead

Medical Colleges Condemned.

A special committee of the American
Medical Association, which was appointed
three years ago to investigate the instruc-
ton and standards of the various medi-
cal colleges in the United States. has
now submitted its report which condemns
about one-half of all the so-called med
ical colleges. Among the members of the
committee are: Doctors Bevan Of Chi
cago. Frazier of Pennsylvania university,
Witherspoon OF Nashville, Councilman
of Boston, Vaughn of Ann Arbor and
Colwell of Chicago. The committee finds
that there are too many Of these schools
in which preliminary education is INSULT
Gent, and in which the course of instruc-
ton is inadequate and the lack of train
ed teachers evident. 1t appears that
there are now in this country 1GO medi-
cal schools, or as many as in all Europe.
The report holds that the great advance
in the sciences in recent years has made
necessary a much broader and more thor
ough course of medical education than
formerly prevailed. 1t insists that a
four-year high school course Is required ;
a year of physics, chemistry and biology ;
two years of practical laboratory work ;
two years of clinical work in hospitals,
and year as inferno in hospital. To
provise adequate equipment, medical
schools must be endowed. 1t is found
that many of our medical schools are still
conducted solely for profit, which is con-
trary TO the spirit of true attainment.
