ED F. DOAN.

It is an exceedingly rare occurrence
that legitimate business started IN
Welsh does not thrive and this sta
tistical fact well proves the plutonlc
prosperity of the town.
The latest business bark launched
on the mercantile or industrial sea Is
Ed. Doan's Auto Livery venture and
it is sailing on favoring, full sailed
breeze of success. Doubtless the
fact that Mr.. Doan has lived in the
Welsh country over quarter OF
century, knows everybody and has
everybody for friend couple with
the speed and beauty of his Ford
machine is the secret Of his services
being in constant demand. He makes
all the neighboring cities and towns
any hour of the day or night and his
rate of charge is reasonable.

Evidence in Philadelphia Of Burning or
Little Bodies. /,

Philadelphia. Pa, Aug. 25.--The police
here are seeking three physicians and
two nurses whom they hope to connect
with Illegal operations which it is said
were performed by May Simmons, a
nurse now under arrest and who has
made partial confession One doctor
will be arrested after the inquest into
the death of Miss Meredith Dukes
daughter of Selbyville, Md, farmer,
whose case exposed the workings OF
the alleged syndicate of unlawful prac-
titioners.
II has been found by the police that
May Simmons and those associated with
her used for their work three houses.
These hoiises are near Broad and Arch
streets.
Bank deposit books which have been
coniscated show that May Simmons coll
lected $4,000 year from this bust
ness, without counting the fees paid to
three physicians. The police say that
at least 1000 babies were killed. They
believe the bodies were burned.
Involved in the case is the son of a
former Baptist minister, who gave up
his pulpit several years ago. The wiie
of the ex-clergyman owns one OF the
houses in which the babies are said to
have been burned.
