Eaton, O., July 3.-Cited to appear

Thursday in the Preble common pleas
court and show cause why they are
not in contempt, the stockholders of
the Reinheimer Stone company, of
New Paris, will be defendants in an
interesting case that concerns most
people of that prosperous little village.
Two years ago the Ohio Electric
railway, which operates a spur line
into New Paris from New Westville,
sought and obtained an injunction
against the Reinheimers, preventing
them from blasting out rock at point
in proximity to their tracks. However,
it is alleged the company went ahead
shot, that loosened hundreds of tons
of limestone and incidentally made un-
stable the foundation of the interurban
tracks. Since that date no cars have

employed in various shops and offices,
earning all told about $3.50 per day.
They are now compelled to employ a
hack to land them to a point beyond
the stone quarry, paying a five-cent
fare, then board the traction car and
pay another fare between that place
and New Westville. Their transporta-
ton costs them 10 cents more per day
than formerly.
The Reinheimers, who are natives of
New Paris, have been engaged in the

A LICENSE TRANSFER
Is Approved by the County
Board Today.

More than ordinary .precaution was
ley, a former saloonist, who purchas-
ed the saloon in the Windsor hotel,
North E street, from Lewis Parker,
when Kelley appeared in the county
commissioners court Monday to Sc
cure the boards approval of the trans
fer of the Parker license. The board
after debating for much longer time
than usual in such cases, finally decid-
ed to honor the transfer. Kelley was
given most careful examination by
his attorney, H. U. Johnson.
Kelley has been out of the business
for more than three years. in this time
being engaged as a cattle buyer. His
good reputation for honesty, morality
and sobriety during this time was pro-
ven. and also care taken to show the
board that Mr. Kelley alone would be
the interested party in the operation
of the saloon. Parker, who quits the
business, was arrested about a month
ago on charges of selling liquor to mi
nors and allowing them to loiter in his
place of business. He was found guilty
on three charges. and though the cas-
es were appealed to the circuit court
from the city court, he would have had
to surrender his license, in case the
city court judge was upheld in the cir
cult court judges decision. No disposi-
ton has been made of these appeal
cases.

Cemetery golf is an innovation with

 contest at Newport with golf of the ceme-
 tery variety and arrange similar tour

 Init" at that fashionable resort. and a
 smart magazine tells about 1t thus:
 Cemetery golf does not sound very cheerful, but seldom has the Golf club held merrier parties than those which met there Thursday afternoon. Mir. Pembroke Jones offered a silver cup to the team winning in thIs amusing contest. There were 50 entries, all of whom ''died'' at some spot on the links. A cemetery contest differs from all other golf matches. Each player starts off with the I club bogey score plus his or her hand- cap. This gives the player certain num- Der of strokes, and when these are ex- | bausted, the player sticks a card in | he ground, bearing the pathetic inscrip- | ton, Here died -" The players dy- ing last win the cup.

There was much spir- tied playing, the various partners dying hard. MT Hartman and Miss Mitchell. however, travelled farther about the links than any of the others, and thus won the trophy. Aside from the contest. the scene at the club was unusually brilliant. Fer the first time the band from Fort Adams played during the afternoon. This is an innovation which promises to be very popular and pleasing The roads leading to the clubhouse were thronged with motor cars and carriages. The spir- tied music could be heard at some dis | tance. Tea was served on the veranda, ana when one saw the jolly parties gath cred on the links and on the veranda, one did not wonder why Newport proper wore the air of a deserted village for the nonce.

SOME NEWS AND GOSSIP
 FROM NATIONS CAPITAL
BY WALTER HARPER

brought out before the committee are really amazed at the boldness of the con- spiracy against the head of the bureau, the man who has shown himself to be the honest and conscientious friend Of the people and the enemy of all men or corporations that would adulterate foods and drugs
 It is said that the President, who at one time was on the point of asking Dr. Wiley to resign on the recommendation of Sec retary Wilson and Attorney General Wickersham. Is himself thoroughly amazed at the disclosures that are being brought out It is more than probatle that he will order wholesale houseclean- ing in the entire department after he has had all the facts.
 The condition is disgrace. and the ad- ministration has already felt the embar- rassment. The President has had sub stantial evidence that Dr. Wiley has the confidence of the people of the United States from Maine to California, with the exception of food adulterators, and they dare not open their mouths.
 Every item of evidence that has been brought out confirms the honesty of Dr. Wiley and adds to the perfidy of the coi.- spirators in the department.
 Secretary Wilson will tell his story th,s week and the committee as we'll as the public, awaits his side of the controversy with interest. Some things have been brought out that 1t appears will be hard for the cabinet officer to explain. If he cannot explain them satisfactorily, there will be a general demand that he ''be al- lowed to resign" himself.

MT. John W. Moore, for years fla miliar figure about town on account of his enormous size, has recently been giving his friends the surprie of their lives. It seems that MT. Moore, alarmed at his continued increase in weight during the past few years. been dosing himself with every ina ginable kind of drug and medicine that he saw advertised for the reduction of flesh and his doctor also has done everything possible to check his steady increase in weight. but in spite of all MT. Moore increased fin weight day by day and to make matters worse de- veloped rheumatism, dropsy, heart trouble and host of other complica tions which completely baffled his phy- sician and the numerous specialists he consulted
 Whom finally MT Moore reached S2: pounds. and still kept on increasing in size he became seriously alarmed and began to wonder what the end of fl all would be. He says that at this point his heart trouble frightened him beyond expression and his feet and ankles swelled so that he could not wear a shoe unless several sizes too large. In miserable health, unable to work. a half dead physical wreck Mir. Moore felt there was little else to do but await the end.
 About this time MT. Moore began to wonder what caused the formation of all his excessive fat that he felt sure was responsible for most of his other troubles. Somewhere he read of a pr. Turner. a Philadelphia physician. who had had an experience very similar to his own and who had reduced his own weight 100 pounds at average rate of one pound a day without the use of medicines or drugs of any kind. Al though total stranger he wrote to Dr. Turner and received a small book prepared by that physician, explaining fully his own remarkable experience. telling how he had safely reduced his weight from 254 to 150 pounds without starvation diets, strenuous exercise. purging or medicines of any kind. The system was ridiculously simple and MT. Moore saw that 1t could be used in the privacy of his own home with little trouble or expense. so he decided to make the experiment, though with lit tie faith. The result amazed him.

reduction in weight began almost inn mediately and his general health and strength improved from the very first day.
 1t almost seemed that he gained a pound of strength with every pound of flesh he lost Pound after pound Of his unwholesome fat left him as the days went by, and today he has lost 70 pounds in all and feels better in health than for years. At no time has he felt weak. On the contrary he says his vitality has increased wonderfully, the swelling in his feet and ankles. the dropsy and pains around his heart are all gone.
 Mir Moore states that this system is simple in the extreme, Is different from all the advertised treatments he has ever seen and that any person 10 pounds or more over weight can use 1t to good advantage, following the system pri vate1y In their own Nome without trouble and with very little expense. During the treat he has eaten any thing he pleased. there were no starva- Ion diets, no strenuous exercise to over tax his weak heart, no drugs or medi- cines, no purging. sweating, bandaEes, ointments. lotions or mechanical con trlvances of any kind. He says the system can be followed just easily by women IS men.
 MT. Moore was willing to answer questions but suggested that interested readers would do better to write direct to pr. Turner, as he hardly felt at lib- erty to give full details without the doctors consent He stated that not being a physician. he In any event. would not care to undertake the in- structIon of others, but since the treat ment does not consist of drugs or med icines nor anything requiring the per sonal attendance of a physician. Dr. Turner would no doubt be willing to answer all inquiries about It, thus en- abling any of our readers to begin the treatment without delay.
 Full information of Dr Turner's sys- tenn is given in little book which he "a of charge, among stout people all over the United States. MT. Moore says that the doctors present address Is Suite 5000. Clark Music building. Syracuse. N Y. and that he feels sure that any interested person who will inclose a two-cent stamp for reply will receive this booklet together with a full letter of explanation and advice from the doctor by return mail
