tuition.

George Hervick, an attendant at the
Pennington Hospital for Insane, was
arrested week before last and fined IS
on q plea Of guilty Of beating a patti
emit in the institution. DR.. J. Frank
Harrison, superintendent of the Instit-
ution, swore out the warrant for Her
vick's arrest. The law against striking
patients In insane hospitals has been
on the Missouri statute books many
years, but SO far as known, this is the
first conviction under it.
DR.. Harrison's action meets the ap-
proval of Pennington people. accord
to the Pennington News, which said
last week: This prompt action Of Dr..
Harrison in taking up this matter
with the authorities savors well fol
the administration Of affairs at No. 4.
There has been a great deal OF public
complaint about the alleged brutality
to patients at this institution during
the past two years, and no doubt there
was room for complaint, but no action
was ever taken before for the punish,

BUSINESS MATTER MAKES II

ANOTHER PHYsI-

ADOPTION ON
RECORD.
DR.. Henry G. McFall and DR.. Joseph
B. Hawkins the Parties in Cues
ton = Lawyers Divided in
Opinion Regarding the
Cases Validity.

One OF the most unique cases OF
adoption probably ever recorded in
this state was recently made In this
city with two well known physicians,
who r now past the half century
mark, as PARTIES In IL. The CASE is an
unusual one because OF the age Of the
adopted party and prominent FOCAL
lawyers stand divided in opinion re-
garding its validity.
To make the matter palmer to the
reader we will give the form OF adop-
tion as it is In the County Recorders
Office where 1t has been filed.
The following is the form Of adop-
tion:-Know all men by these presents
that /, Henry O. McFall, OF the city OF
Mexico, County Of Audraln, State Of
Missouri, under the provisions OF
Chapter 90 OF the revised statutes OF
Mo-, Of 1899, and all other statutes
and laws OF the State OF Mo-, me
%thereunto enabling, do hereby adopt
as my heir, Joseph B. Hawkins Of the
same place. hereby comforting upon
the said Joseph B. Hawkins all the
rights which, under the law Of the
State OF Mo | can confer upon this
and Of adoption.
In witness whereof 1 have set my
hand on this July, 1907.
Henry @. McFall.
Another interesting fact In the case
is a dispute w the legality Of the
transaction. One very prominent at
torneY Of this city says that the adop'
tion is impossible on account Of the
age Ct the party adopted. Another
attorney, just as prominent, says thai
1t is legal. The authority he Cites
Volume Isl, page 555 of the Missouri
Reports, seems ample proof OF the
legality of the matter, thil
is a decision handed down by Judge
Valiant in a case in which the person
adopted was a man, twenty-five year
OF age.
DR.. McFall says that the adoption
was made In order that he might turr
over some insurance to DR.. Hawkins
which he was unable to keep up be
cause of inability to pay the premium
