Indiana.

Indianapolis, Jan. 21.-The Daugh-
tiers Of the Revolution in Indiana will
petition the legislature to buy the old
William Henry Harrison mansion st
yincennes for a state historical mu-
scum. They have been making an eff
fort to that effect for some time. It is
regarded at Vincennes a shame that
this old mansion, which is threatened
with destruction, should be allowed to
disappear, when there are so few
things OF historical value in the state.
While the old house IS more than 100
years old, It Ia in a good state Of pres
eryation.
Birthplace OF Government.
The house, from an architectural
point of view, as well as massiveness,
seems remarkable. At the time it was
erected it's situation was a wilderness,
far from civilization, and to get the
materials for tsconstruction, the glass,
iron, etc, meant a year or more Of
time before they could be delivered at
Vincenses- This is not the first effort
that has been made to have the state
buy the house, for historical societies
have endeavored to have it kept as a
lasting monument to the memory of
those who built SO well and as a re-
hinder that this was the birthplace
of government, religion and education
In the west.
Began Way Back in 1890.
The house is two stories high, with
a large attic, and a basement under
the entire place. It Is threatened with
sale to a buyer who may turn it into
a storage house. The owner would
prefer TO have 1t bought by the state
or society for an historical museum.
The house is 60x75 and the lot Is
2O0x125- There are twenty rooms. It's
construction was begun in 1870 and
1t was completed in 1904 and 1905.
The ceilings are thirteen and one-half
feet high and the rooms are spacious.
Took Two Years to Get the Glass.
The walls are of brick and inside
and out are eighteen inches thick. The
glass In the windows came from Eng
land, and it took two years to have it
delivered The wood was sawed with
the oldfashioned whip-saw, and all the
nails were hand-forged on the grounds.
The woodwork is hard-paneIed, fin
ished with beading and is of solid,
clear black walnut. 1t is said that the
walnut in the house today is worth a
small fortune.

HARTMAN STOPS
TRAIN De LUXE
TW0-CENT FARE LEGISLATION

The Los Angeles Limited, the Fastest
and Finest Overland Train, Will
Be Annuled on Monday.
I Railroad News

According to an Associated Press dis
patch from Omaha, Los Angeles and
Chicago will lose their de luxe train.
Pursuant to the prophesy made by
Vice President Mohler of the Union
Pacific, some time ago, that the ex-
penses Of the passenger department of
that road would be cut because of the
two-cent fare law which has just been
placed in effect in Nebraska, the dis

Limited trains running between Chi

announced as being annulled beginning

The Los Angeles Limited, east and

railroads.
The trains were inaugurated in De-

COMPROMISE ON
NINE-CENT LIGHT
MAYOR VET0ES OLD UTILITY
ORDINANCE
Agrees to Sign Bill If Hourly Rate is
Cut Down from Present Ten-cent
Priee-company's Improves
ments a Factor

Los Angeles will get electricity for
Q cents an hour hereafter.
Such was the compromise arrived at
yesterday by the mayor, the lighting
companies and the councilmen.
AS q result of this understanding
Mayor Harper will send in veto
message Monday but agree to sign a
message fixing the rate at cent less
than the present scale-10 cents per
klowatt hour.
The message, as prepared, reads as
follows:
"March 0, 1907.
ITO the Honorable, the City Council of
Los Angeles
"Gentlemen-I return herewith an
ordinance fixing the rate to be charged
for electricity. The ordinance does not
bear my signature because 1t does not
have my approval.
II believe the rate charged per kilo-
watt in Los Angeles too high, and deem
1t of the utmost Importance that the
city council make an investigation with
a view of changing the maximum and
minimum rates so the small consumer
may get the benefit. AS the schedule
stands at the present time the rich man
who uses a large amount of electricity
gets the benefit of a low rate, while
the poor man who uses only q small
quantity to light his home Is charged
the maximum rate of 10 cents per kilo-
watt. L am informed that large con-
sumerS have purchased electricity as
low as 2% cents per kilowatt.
Il had hoped that such an investiga-
tion could be made at this time, and
that the maximum rate would be fixed
at not higher than cents. Taking
everything into consideration, earnings
of the companies, expenditures and the
announcements that millions Of dollars
are to be expended in developments OF
plants 1 agreed, after assurance from
members of the city council that the
rate charged the coming year would
be changed to 9 cents, to postpone
further inquiry until some future
time
with the understanding that the
rate will be fixed at 9 cents I return
the ordinance. Respectfully yours.

who has the courage of his or her
conviction to tell the human parrots
who were tagged and standardized by
so-called schools, that they are USE
less to mankind.
AS an illustration I will mention the
human parrots, who make believe they
know the laws governing the science
OF healing. In the first place there
are about as many so-called systems
Of healing as there are pebbles on a
beach, and the practitioners of the
respective systems claim that theirs
is the only panacea for the cure of
all Ills to which human flesh is heir.
An individual with ever so little gray
matter, however, must admit that there
can be only one true system of healing
and hence either some one of the many
extant knows the laws governing the
science of healing or they are all
spurious. How shall we find out? The
Bible tells us ''Ye shall know them by
their fruits" and 1t is a wise guide
What do the allopaths say? They say,
ours Is the only true science of heal
ing, and the practitioners of any other
are quacks, but. alas, their fruits
do not substantiate their assertion.
Let US turn to the homeopath; what
says he? He says: "Allopaths have
killed more people than they have
cured" The eclectic says that neither
OF the former apply the genuine laws
of healing. The osteopath quotes oliver
Wendell Holmes, who was an allopath
himself IF all the drugs were thrown
into the ocean IL would be a blessing
to mankind and the worse for the
fishes"
1t might be argued that inasmuch as
the allopathic system is the Oldest and
more people believe in that than in any
other 1t must be the true one, upon
the theory that the majority is right.
But this would be no criterion, for the
reason that the majority has been
often wrong. Moreover, the allopathic
system has been fostered by force, by
law or physical means, for ages. Even
In this enlightened day, so-called, you
will find scores of physicians in the
several legislatures and congress either
as members Of those bodies or as lob
byists, for the purpose of fostering the
allopathic system by legislative enact
ments.
Now. 1 wish to ask; Why is 1t that
We are in no need OF laws to compel
us to believe In and apply the laws
governing mathematics or geography or
anatomy or natural philosophy. and so
on, but we have laws compelling us
to be vaccinated and TO submit to
many other whims and oaprices to
which allopaths see fit to subject us ?
The answer Is simple enOugh The al
lopaths have not proved 70 US that
they practice a positive science; nay,

seIf-sufflciency

One of the hardest mental nuts was
handed to me by a friend with the
injunction that should crack 1t, no
matter how much effort l will have to
make in order to accomplish the task.
Having used a few times the words
mental nuts in these columns 1t Is only
right that 1 should explain what the
words mean, to me at least. By men
tai nuts" mean either problems which
cannot be solved by finite minds or
If they can be solved, one would rather
not do it lest some people take offense
at the statements necessary to be made
while solving them.
AS an illustration 1 might mention
the word religion. While the word
religion savors Of but one definition
and hence it would not be very diff
ficult to explain what it really means,
yet owing to the fact that people of
different religious beliefs entertain diff
ferent opinions as to it's meaning, re-
gardless of the definition, 1t would be
useless, If not unwise, for me or any
one else to explain its true meaning.
For, no matter how correct my views
on religion may be, 1t would be still
my own Views-my own opinion-which
1 can neither impose upon others nor
Is any one bound to respect.
To the Catholic, religion means one
thing; to the Jew it means another;
to the Hindu another, to the Moham-
medan still another, and so on. But
II l should undertake to explain its
meaning 1 would have to make state
ments with which those who view the
subject different from me would not
only disagree, but possibly resept;
therefore 1 would rather leave the sub
teot entirely alone.
1t may be argued that all of man
kind agrees on the laws of natural
philosophy, mathematics, chemistry and
such others as have been discovered
and are being applied. Granted; but
this is true of analytical and syntheti-
cal scientific subjects only; and they
are a small portion of the vast field
OF positive science. We are still in
the dark and we will remain ignorant
for ages to come concerning the greater
number of laws of positive science.
The selhshness of mortals, however,
has prompted them to institute false
or pseudo science, and thus instead OF
manfully confessing their ignorance
they hand out or teach the spurious.
This is true of politics, economies,
religion, medicine, law and other num-
berless SUBJECTS Hence we witness
the spectacle that men and women who
graduate from literary or professional
schools repeat parrot-like the yocabu-
larry drilled into them by the so-called
professors OF their respective alma
matters. And woe be to him or her

IL we should judge by their fruits"
we are constrained to conclude that
they offer us such as we cannot swal-
low. The allopaths have not demon
strated to US that the seed they are
sowing is producing sweet fruits"
but, on the contrary, bitter ones. The
laws, however, give them the right to
compel us to swallow what they give
us, be 1t sweet or bitter.
There are no doubt thousands of
physicians who are opposed to forcible
means and do Lot use trickery in their
practice, but are courageous enough to
admit their shortcomings. I will also
say that these constitute perhaps the
majority; but they are too apathetic
to take a decided stand against their
confreres, who are better posted on the
subtlety of legislation. Hence the ma
jority OF physicians have no voice in
matters governing the public health,
whereas the minority have. Moreover,
there are innumerable physicians who
have discarded the system of Escu-
lapius, the founder of the so-called
science of medicine, altogether.
Vegetables
Some one wishes to know whether
diet consisting of vegetables exclu-
sively is conducive to good health.
Having never tried such a diet do not
know; but, as a general proposition,
think not. A human being is an
animal, and although of higher order
than other animals, yet with sufficient
animal characteristics to maintain
those of their brethren who are still
making their abode in the forests.
Judging from observation and the
stories of travellers l am inclined to
believe that the greater degree of evo-
luton of an animal the greater the
reason why 1t Graves meat. A fine
porterhouse steak suits me when 1 am
hungry; and inasmuch as 1 have never
been sick a day in my life have no
reason to dismiss my butcher.
Typhoid Fever
A reader wants to know the best
remedy for typhoid fever. There is no
medical remedy for this disease. The
best way TO treat typhoid fever is by
hyglenic methods, which means good
nursing, baths and withdrawing food
to the patient, especially heavy foods.
Typhoid fever is self-limited disease;
In other words, It must run its natural
course, and II the patient is strong
enough no harm will come to him by
being quiet and doing nothing, or very
little.
