PHYSICIAN BECAME MANIAC.

DR.. George H. Harris, Virgin
ian by birth, and son of Federal
Judge Harris, of Ivyland, Burks
county, Pennsylvania, is in the
Ardmore, Okla. Jail charged With
the most frightful murder that has
ever been committed III that part
of the country. He is a veritab Bile
DR.. Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde In a
sudden insane frenzy he murdered
Daniel Origin, one-armed man,
while the latter lay asleep. Origin
came into Harris room intoxica-
ted and fell asleep. After admin
istering chloroform to him the
doctor decided to operate on the
sleeping man, and calling in two
men to assist him went to WORK.
He cut open Origins scalp from
the back of the head almost to the
forehead and tore away the scalp
from the skull with his hands. He
then took his probe and hammer
ed it about the skull, trying tc find
the imagined fracture. Becoming
tired, he sat down and smoked a
cigarette.
His two helpers at this juncture
suspected the DOCTORS insanity and
were not able to longer endure the
spectacle. Leaving the room they
raised the alarm and another doc
tor was sent for, but he arrived too
late to save Dirgln's life. He had
bled to death. When searched at
the Jail letters were found Oh Har-
ris' person which had been receiv-
ed month ago and which were
unopened, indicating that he had
not been in sound mind. Other
letters were found on him from
Judge Harris, of Ivyland, Penn.

is CONSUMPTION INHERITED?
Opinion Of a Prominent BaeteriOlogist
Given at Recent Lecture at
Harvard College.

Prof. H C. Ernest, in recent lecture
before Harvard Medical school, dis
cussed this theory at length. He claims
that consumption is not an inherited
disease, and that the children OF pa
rents who have had tuberculosis are as
likely to grow up strong and healthy as
children of parents who have not. DR..
Ernest further claims that the cardinal
means for curing this dread disease are
plenty of fresh air, sufficient nutritious
food, rest and exercise.
For centuries physicians everywhere
have recognized the value of cod liver
oil in the treatment Of consumption
and all wasting diseases, but, unfortu-
nately. few could take it on account OF
the indigestible oil.
Vlnol has solved this problem. 1t is

there are those who demand some

THE SUSPICIOUS INDIVIDUAL.

There is In every community q
set of men VINO are suspicious of
all their friends and neighbors.
They think that the office-holder
is always grating, the merchants
always cheating in weights, the
lawyer ever ready to turn MINI
BILE penny, the preacher prone to
wink at evil if good contribution
is put in the hat, the deacon to
drink if there is no chance of be-
ing seen, the steward to "cuss" if
his preacher is not i'll sight. and
the elder to look with leniency on
little acts of indiscretion.
Somebody has said that the man
or woman always suspicious of
others will bear watching. This
may or may not be true, but we do
know that the suspicious man in
lures himself more than any one
else. His little inuendoes, filings,
suggestions, etc, rarely injure the
other man. People lcok beyond
his words to the motive, and usual
ly find sore upon the top of his
head.
The most Objectionable fowl in
the barn-yard is the rooster or hen

and sees nothing but corruption

BOARD PUTS BLAME
ON TRACK OWNERS
IGNORED ADVICE OF FORMER
CITY ENGINEER
AS Result Eighteenth Street at Van
Ness Avenue Is Inundated and
Relief VIII Be Costly
to Many

Hundreds of property owners are in
terested in the storm water complica-
lions growing out of the refusal of GER
tain tract owners to take the advice of
a former city engineer.
The board of public works reported
to the city council yesterday In refer
ence to instructions to look into the
storm water accumulation at Eighteenth
street and Wilton place and remedy
for the existing nuisance.
The trouble is caused by the closing
of Eighteenth street at Wilton place
and by the grade of Van Ness avenue,
which grade was not approved by the
c:ty engineer ct the time Van Ness
avenue from Sixteenth street to Wash
ington street was improved.
The then city engineer notified the
owners of the tract that the grade was
an Objectionable grade and that he
would accept neither the grade nor the
street as an improved street if the
same was improved to the proposed
grade.
Went Ahead Regardless
notwithstanding these objections the
owners of the tract proceeded to inn
prove the street to the Objectionable
grade, for which reason the strip has
not been accepted as public street,
nor has the grade been accepted by tho
city.
Proceedings were once instituted to
open Eighteenth street westerly through
to Arlington street. These proceed
ings were abandoned by the city coun-
Gil after they were well advanced, con-
sequently there is no provision for the
relieving of the drainage at the inter-
section mentioned.
No means can be devised for this ex-
cept by the opening of Eighteenth
street or by the construction of suit
able storm sewer, either of which is an
expensive proposition at the present
time.
It seems a difficult matter now to
create a district of assessment suffi-
GENTLY large to pay the cost of opening
Eighteenth street or the construction of
the storm drain necessary not to be
burdensome to the property in the dis
trict and vet to obtain the consent or
the necessary majority frontage In SUCH
district to the payment OF such ex-
pense.
If this cannot be done the only other
method would be for the city council
TO proyide sufficient funds to pay for
the opening of Eighteenth street west
erly from Wilton place or for the con-
struction of the storm drain re-
ferred to.
The city engineer has presented alter
native plans for remedying the nuisance
mentioned, which plans were referred
to a large delegation of property own
ers at a meeting held by the board
some months ago.
The property owners agreed to take
the matter up and determine which
method was the most feasible one for
relief from their standpoint, and further
agreed to report back to the board what
the results of their Investigations were.
The board as yet has received no
formal report from these parties, but
one or two have stated verbally that
they are not meeting with success IN
gaining the consent OF property holders
in the vicinity to being assessed to pay
+he exnenses incident to opening the
street or constructing the storm drain.
Without funds the board Is unable ID
proceed.

he'd have to buy a cheap mule to drag

The fast speed had to be kept up to
avoid being stalled, and you had to hit
those bumps with all the speed cap
able. And hit them you did! Mrs.
Burdette thought her bonnet was
crushed against the top of the car. I
thought the cars axle would be broken.
But our chauffeur is an expert, and
he pulled the machine through by
skillful driving and plotting, manag-
