NEXT YEAR MEDICAL SOCIETY
WILL PROBABLY HOLD ONE
PUBLIC MEETING AND LIVE
SUBJECTS DISCUSSED.

Among the members of the Wayne
County Medical society, there is be-
lief that the members who are in ar
rears in their dues should not receive
further benefits as members of the So
ciety. Therefore at the next regular
meeting which will be the sc ;ond week
in January, the members will have this
important question TO settle. There
are said to be several such delinquent
members of the society which recently
took action TO the effect that all per-
sons should pay their doctor bills i'm
mediately after receiving professional
attention.
DIR. Bramkamp. secretary of the so
ciety. is arranging with the members,
to secure their subjects of papers to be
read during the ensuing year at MONTH

clans believe that there should be one
meeting year which the public would
attend. At such meetings live sub
jects for the benefit of the public could
be discussed.

SERV|A'S KING MAY
QUIT HIS THRONE
III Health May Force Peter to
AbdiCate.

Belgrade. Dec 19-The health of
King Peter is SO precarious that his
early abdication in favor of the crown
prince would not be a surprise.
1t is learned from an authentic
source that King Peters late indispo,
sition was due to the effects OF an ap-
oplectic stroke.
The events of the last month have
pressed heavily on him. ad his physi
clans have been several times summon
ed to the palace in the night. 1t is
deemed eXpedient to conceal his weak
state. which is ascribed 10 a slight at.
tack of influenza
The king has still an impeachment in
his speech. and does not at present
grant audiences. The first act of his
majesty, when measure of GONZALES
cence sets in, was to order the release
of all paralytic and apoplectic convicts.
1t was pointed out to him that such
an amnesty would excite establishment
so grace was extended likewise to the
blind and MANNED. The consequences
are a crowd of disabled beggars on Bel
grade streets, Ind the dismissal of sew
eral jailers.

IS HERE
Concerns Too Busy to Enter
Bids for the County
Supplies.
THE FEW BIDS WERE LOW.

But one firm entered a bid for three
classes of the county office supplies,
and when the county commissioners
went to award the contract yesterday
they found little difficulty. Two bids
were entered for the stationery sup
plies, but the books and blanks were
sought by only the one firm. the
Nicholson Printing and Manufacturing
company of this city. Last year four
or five companies entered bids and the
competition was very marked. This
year specifications were sent local
printing offices and those at Indianap.
oils. but none but the one saw fit to
enter for the contract. Despite the
lack of competition the contracts this
year were let at lower price than a
year ago.
Judging from indications, local in
dustEies must be exceptionally busy
with the holiday trade. Two local
stationery supply houses were fur
rished the specifications and each no
titled the county officer, time was toe
short to enter a bid. One grocery
firm that has received a number OF
county contracts did not bid yesterday
A member Of the firm said all time
was required to handle the trade and
none could be devoted to reviewing
the specifications.

THE SPAULDING VERDICT

Or. A. l.. Bramkamp, coroner, re-
ceived word yesterday from Dr. T. w.
Smith of Indianapolis. physician and
chemist, who made an analysis of the
stomach of little Lucille Elleman, the
five year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clifford Elleman, Randolph street,
that her death was not caused by poi
son. The investigation by the noted
indianapolis chemist was delayed for
several weeks owing to the necessity
to secure decree from Judge Fox
allowing for the expenditure of $25 to
pay DIR. Smith for his professional ser
vices.
1t will be remembered that the child
died several weeks ago from no ap-
parent cause, Immediately after a
younger child had died. 1t was be-
lieved by the local authorities that the
child had secured some of the medi-
cine left for treatment for the other
child and in this manner was poison
ed. However as they did not have
the apparatus with which to investi-
gate such a case it had to be left to a
che mist.
DIR. Bramkamp will probably make
his finding. death due to some I'M
known cause.
SpauIding Verdict.
Dr. Bramkamp in making his find
ing as to the cause of the death of
William Spaulding, the fruit and
truck gardener, who was instantly
killed last week. found death to be
due. to a broken neck caused by impact
with a tree as the result of being
thrown out of a wagon in a runaway.
Mr.. Spaulding was buried Friday.
Avoids Details.
In rendering his verdict in the case
of the foetus found on South G.. street
between Twelfth and Thirteenth
streets during the early part of last
week, DIR. A. l.. Bramkamp, coroner,
states premature birth" He does
not deive into the details of the case
because he has been unable to find
any evidence which would show who
the child's mother was. 1t will be re-
membered that the foetus. which was
probably three months old, was found
on a well beaten path in commons.

St Louis. Mo, Oct 29.-John Mo- Closkey announces in a letter receiy- ed here yesterday that he will not manage the St Louis National league team next season. The letter from McCloskey. dated at Louisville. stated his resignation had been accepted, effective December 31.
 Roger Bresnahan is the one most mentioned as McCioskey's successor, and President Robinson, 1t was re- ported some time ago, was in Toledo to confer with Bresnahan.
