FINDS
CHARGE is SERIOUS

In the superior court this morning
an attempt was made by ]. Funne-
mark, through his attorneys, H. S.
Blandford and NJ. A. Stafford. to get
the charge of forgery now pending
against him dismissed The attempt
failed, however, and Funnemark must
answer for the charge in the next
term OF court.
According to statements made, it
has been the custom for Funnemark
to commit some act of the kind for
which he is now arrested, trusting to
the leniency of the court and his own
persuasive powers, to get him out.
He has been up many times and al
ways his cases have been dismissed.
This time, however, Prosecuting At
torney Everett ]. Smith made a
stubborn fight against letting the case
be dismissed, and won. The charge
of forgery will be tried against Fun
nemark at the first term Of court

GOLD-BEARING STRATUM
FOUND IN INDIANA

Spencer, Ind.-Reports from the
extreme north end OF Morgan town
site, this county, are to the effect
that gold In paying quantities is be-
ing found. Two men named Wright
sell and Whitesel OF near Reelsvllle
have leased the Newton Smiley farm
and hold purchasing option for
$4,000. Work will begin there Mon
day The farm is sixteen miles north
of this city, near the village of Atkin-
sonville, in some of the toughest
country in Indiana.
A quantity of the ore was sent
away for examination and reports re-
ceived yesterday say 1t assays from
s24 to $50 a ton, gold and copper
mixed, gold predominating. The
rocks at this particular place seem
to suggest an upheaval at some re-
mote period and the presence of the
gold is accounted for In this way It
is said to give promise of fairly
good vein of ore, dipping rapidly
downward from the outcrop. The
men who hold the option say they
will make thorough test of the lo-
cality 1t is also said they expect
to prospect for the old lead mine
near the same neighborhood from
which Jacob Hicks used to make bull
lets in early days. 1t is located
somewhere on the farm now owned
by Charles White, but has never
been located since the elder Mr..
Hicks filled up the opening years
ago.-Indianapolis Star.

DONS SKIRTS FOR SALONIE.
Gertrude Hoffman Agrees 10 Wear
More Elaborate Attire to Please
Ministers,

Cincinnati, O.-That she might be
permitted to give her Salome dance at
the Lyric theatre during the remain
der of the week, Gertrude Hoffman
of the Mimic World" company this
afternoon Informed Mayor Mark
brett, who had threatened to stop her
performance, that she would don
heavier and more elaborate attire and
omit some of her poses and gestures.
The complaint, that caused the
mayor to interfere, was made by sew
eral ministers who attended the show
last night, They declared it sem
sual exhibition, possessing neither
beauty nor art. Because of their
strong denunciation the mayor order
ed the theatre managers to see that
the performance was toned down.
On behalf of the dancer they
promised his honor that she would
don skirts and heavier fleshings in
stead of the transparent kind she had
been wearing. She also promised TO
eliminate some OF her gestures.

VIRTUES OF GINSENG.
Oriental Peoples Have Great Faith
in It's Curative Properties.

A correspondent writes to the
Rangoon Gazette The Burmese call
ordinary ginger ginseng, The best
ginseng comes from Manchuria and
is highly esteemed in China, the best
description selling for its weight in
gold. Even the semi-wild quality
from Korea is worth its weight in
silver. A considerable quantity OF
cultivated ginseng is usually describ-
ed in China as a medicine, 1t really
appears to be more of tonic, pos
sessing in Chinese opinion marvel
Gus resto Gtive qualities. When a
distinguished Chinese statesman is
i'll, the emperor as special favor oc-
casionally bestows an ounce or two
of ginseng upon him. European ply
sicians have decided that the virtues
of ginseng are largely imaginary,
but DR.. Porter Smith mentions hav-
ing seen some cases in which life ap-
peared to be prolonged for time by
its use. A Russian traveller states
that one of the Cossacks of his par
ty having chopped off a finger, ap-
piled ointment made from ginseng
and the wound rapidly healed. In
Manchuria a Chinese imperial edict
made it at one time a state monop-
oily, much as durians were declared
royal property in the times of Bur-
mese kings.

APPENDIX is NOT USELESS.
Hang to 1t, Who Would Hang on 20
Youth, Says Authority.

London.-C. B. Keetle, in the Ian
Get" continues his vindication of the
character OF the hitherto universally
maligned vermiform appendix.
He is publishing paper, read al
the surgical section of the Royal So
ciety of Medicine. which points out
that Sir william Macewan has DEM
onstrated that the appendix has
physiological uses of considerable inn
portance.
It is not a useless and merely vesti-
gal organ ,as has been represented. It
possesses also a potential surgical val
ue. which appears greater and more
astonishing the more experience one
gains in appendicotomy.
The author quotes Metchnikoff's
suggestion that the appendix Is useful
in staving off or postponng the de-
generacy Of old age. Keetley urges in
all favorable cases transportation in
stead of amputation.
He says: "An appendix trans
planted into the abdomenal wall need
not be used for a appendicostomy at
the time but it is there If it ever
should be wanted"
He quotes two cases of perforative
appendicitis which We're merely trivial
as the appendices were securely i'm
bedded in the abdomenal walls.

CHINESE POISONED.
Refugees at Tokyo Die Under Sus-
piciOus Circumstances.

With regard to the poisoning of
Chinese revolutionaries at Ushigome,
Tokyo, an official in the Chinese le-
cation, Tokyo, states that the legation
is much troubled with the false ru-
NOR that Wang, who is suspected to
be the originator of the affairs, is en-
ployed by the legation. In view of
the fact that the whereabouts of
Wang is not known, there are some
who may say that he is taking refuge
in the legation, and the official
strongly denies the allegation, saying
that the legation has no connection
with Wang.
Several arrests were made in connec
ton with the affair and a domicili-
ary search was conducted, with the
result that they were all released on
account of the discovery of no evil
dence. Almost at the same time a
new arrest was made.-Japan Times

japanese Contribute Literally to Aid

When Count Otani, lord-abbot OF
the West Honganji in Kobe. paid a
visit to Kuwana he was received with
enthusiastic demonstrations Of JOY

Central temple is now involved In
The crowds were so strongly affected
by the speech that, Immediately II

shower money before the altar. One
man disgorged all his money from
his pocketbook, amounting to 75o
ven. and offered It with a solemn
promise that he would bring an
other $50 yen the next day. This
munificent bounty was followed by
another downpour of coins, whicf
fell amidst the clamorous prayers OF
the jealous believers. The money
was then collected and counted, the
total being $500 yen. The lord-ab'
bot departed with sumptuous bless

plant of Agent A. J. Kinkade of the
Society for the Protection of Children
from Cruelty, of Philadelphia, to whom
the mother and grandmother Of the
child told their story.
Mrs Dashiells and her mother. Mrs.
Mary Camac. who was summoned from
her home in Dover. brought the child
with her face cut and scratched and
black and blue from bruises, to Mr..
Kinkade's office. According to their
story the child has never attempted to
walk or talk since birth. They declared
that her helplesness was constant
source of offense 10 the father
According to both mother and grand
mother the beating occurred Monday
night, Mrs. Dashiells said she was
holding Dorothy in her lap when her
husband, forgetting his ill-feeling to-
ward the unfortunate little one for a
moment. stopped over to kiss her. She
turned away her head. The father then
picked the child up i'm his arms and as
he did so she stretched out her arms
toward her mother and began to cry.
Enraged at this exhibition of prefer
ence for the mother. the child's mother
says Dashiells flew into violent fury
and cuffed and beat the child about
the head and body until the mother and
grandmother. throwing themselves upon
him, stopped his blows.

Waddell was one of the few American
League southpaws who won more
games than he lost last season, his rec
ord being nineteen victories and four
teen defeats. Bailey won three out of
eight, while Graham won six out of
twelve. Swift, who pitched for Wilkes

Wilson won twenty-one and lost twelve
for Hartford. while Vaughan won nine
and lost one down South. He failed
to distinguish himself, however. with

wild.
Connie Mack has Eddie Plank, the
old reliable, Krause, the California boy.
/ and Salve. from the South Atlantic
