Trepanning Operation Per-
formed on Richard Cook
Fails to Improve Him.
FIRST WAS REVIVED
Today, However, Nester's
Victim Was Much Worse
and Sinking Rapidly.

PIQUA, O., Oct. 25.-Unfavorable
symptoms are developing in the con-
dition of Richard Cook, of Richmond,
Ind, who is at the Memorial Hospital
suffering from a stab wound in the
brain, said to have been given by
Donald Nester. Cook is unconscious,
and the doctors declare his death is a
matter of but few hours. Since the
operation he has been able to make
no connected statement
Following a trepanning operation
yesterday Cook seemed stronger and
brighter, but when his physicians
made an examination this morning
they found a change for the worse
had developed. At the time of the
operation the doctors removed the
broken bone and the blood clot that
had formed over the wound, which
was found to have penetrated the
brain four inches.
After his appearance in Pleasant
Hill, this county, at the home of his
father. Joseph Cook, nothing was done

GORMON HAS STEEL.
Chief Returns, Relating Story of the
First Operation.

Returning from Piqua, O., where
they went to get an ante-mOrtem
statement from Richard Cook, who is
believed to be in a dying condition,
following a stabbing affair with Don
aid Nester in front of the Grand hotel,
October 6, Chief of Police Gormon
and Prosecutor Keller brought with
them the pieces of steel which had
been imbedded in Cooks head since
that time.
The steel blades, lying together, were
removed from Cooks head by DR.. Tee
tor, of Pleasant Hill, October 21. They
had entered the head just above the
left ear, penetrated the skull and
passed downward and back between
the bone and the brain. The broken
ends were imbedded a half inch under
the flesh. Physicians say it is re-
markable that the wound was not
fatal almost instantly.
After leaving Richmond the day aft
er the trouble, Cook went to his faith
er's home at Pleasant HILL O. He COM
planned of his head and went to DR..
Teetor, who examined the wound, but
saw only cut, which he treated.
Cook went about the town for several
days as usual, but was unable to re-
member what had happened or any of
the details connected with the injury.
Each day he visited the physician,
who decided that there was something
in the cut when it did not heal. Tues
day DR.. Teeter made a two-inch in
cision just above the ear and found
the broken ends of the steel blades.
Grasping them with a pair Of forceps,
the physician pulled with all his
strength to remove the steel.
A second operation was performed
Wednesday at the Piqua Hospital at
the base of the wound to drain off all
foreign substances.
In a conversation with Chief Gormon
last night. Donald Nester. who will be
confined in the city Jail pending the
outcome of Cooks injuries, admitted
that he got the scissors at the Thea
torium. He said after the argument
with Cook he walked into the theatre,
picked up the scissors and followed
Cook into the street, where he stabbed
him.
The prisoner has not been told of
Cooks condition except that it is Sc
rious. He has not asked about his
victim.

START NEW MOVEMENT

Prof. Joseph J. Mills. of Pasadena,
Cal, former president of Earlham col
lege, was appointed general secretary
of the Five Years meeting OF the
Friends church at the final session of
the executive committee at the South
Eighth Street Friends church last
night. Prof. Mills will serve for the
year 1914, performing the duties at
his home in Pasadena
By that time the board hopes to be
able to establish permanent headquar-
ters for the executive committee in
Richmond, and secure a young man ia
take charge OF the office as general
secretary
After being the head of Earlham col
lege for eighteen years, Prof Mills
retired in 1903. Since that time he
has travelled over the country. serv-
ing as pastor of Friends congregations
at Toronto, Canada, and Whittier, Cal
He was succeeded as president of

Through President Kelly. as chair
man of a special committee, the ex-
ecutive board took steps to establish
chair OF advanced theology at the
Hartford Comm Theological semin-
ary The chair Is to provide instruc-
tons for young men wishing to enter
the ministry.
This is a radical departure of the
Friends church. said President Kelly
The Friends have never maintained
theological institute of their own,
but there are so many of our young
people looking forward to advanced
theology that the executive board
deemed it wise TO establish a theologi-
cal chair in some acceptable semin-
airy. 1t was not believed advisable
at this time to take any action leading
to the establishment OF a theological
institute of our own.
headquarters Here.
The establishment of permanent
headquarters in this city was postpon-
ed for some time. While practically
all the business of the executive board
is transacted here, it Is the intention
of the board to centralize all the activ-
tiles in one office. Members of the
board believe a location can be OBJ
tanned and a secretary employed to
take charge of the headquarters at
the expiration of Prof. Mills term.
Power to make arrangements for this
move was placed in the hands of
subcommittee.
The board approved and decided to
push the nationwide. cooperative mis-
sionary campaign. A series of confer
ences and meetings will be held to in
form the church members of the needs
of the churches. These meetings viii
eliminate about March 1914, in an
effort to systematic the giving and
collecting Of funds for the church in
terests, including the operating ex-
penses, beneyolences and missions.

four days ago. During this time, while
Cook was able to be about, he ap-
peared as one dazed and unable to
remember anything about how he re-
ceived his injury. Finally he was
taken to DR.. S. N. Bausman at Pleas

Some go because they like to hear
The preacher rake their neighbOrs

Some go to show their dress and

At what the other people wear.

To not do SO might injure trade.
Some go because they think it

Some 60 to take a quiet snoOze
While sitting in the restful pews.
Lulled by a soporific talk,
AS gentle as a cradles rock.
Some go under protest, who
Have wifies that compel them to.
Some go because they really fear
The temperature beyond the bier.
Imagine that the church's brand
Will pass them to the Promised

Some young men go because the

Some go, they really do not know
Just why; they simply dress and go.
And yet among the chaff We find
Much golden grain of humankind.

million dollar Rivers and Harbors
Bill as passed by the House was

million dollars. In the same spirit
the District of Columbia Bill was

High Schools Hit.

Public high schools Jared rather
badly in a debate in the senate one
day last week, which arose over a
small item in a local appropriation
bill. Senator HOke Smith held that
"a large high school was unwise,
both from an educational and econ
omic point of view," and that the
small country schools produced the
best results.
Senator Works declared high
schools "have been warped out OF
all proportion as means of giving
to the children of this country the
useful education that should be i'm.
parted through the public schools.

What Will They Do?

Again the timber sharks are
getting in their work. Years ago a
lot of these fellows bought vast a.
mounts of school land timber from
the state of Washington. Much OF
this timber was got at prices rang
ing from 35 cents to 800 thou
sand feet. 1t was bought under
contract that it should be .reUov-
ed from the land within given tim
to the end % that the state should
get the purchase price of it within
the prescribed time limit, and CD
that the land might become avail
able either for agricultural purpos-
es or that a second growth of tim
Der might be produced upon 1t.
These timber spectators have
not kept their cOntracts--have not
obeyed the law. Yet, biennium al
ter biennium. they come to the leg
islature and ask that special law
be enacted whereby they may be
exempted from the penalty of the
utter violation of their original con-
tract with the state. Meanwhile, the
timber has rapidly increased in val
ue, so that today an appreciable a
mount of it is worth 1000 to 5000
per cent more than it was when
purchased. To the creation of this
increased value, these spectators
have contributed nothing whatever
1t is all cOmmunity-made value and
should accrue to the state-to the
school fund, which is the heritage
of our children.
These spectators have been gull
ty of a breach of contract; they
have forfeited their day in court
they have no rights under the law
and the timber which they have not
taken from the land should revert
to the state, to the school chill
dren for whom, by a beneficent gov
eminent. it was provided. Either
this should be the case, or the o.
riginal purchasers-in event by spe.
cial enactment the time limit IL
extended--should be required to
pay for the timber its present mar
ket value determined under an ap.
praisement made by the state.
Yet, when Representative Dix H
Rowland. moved on the floor OF
the house this week an amendment
to the stereotyped bill which these
spectators have biennially had
passed, providing that--as con-
dition precedent to grant OF fur

is worth at this time, he precipitat-

Of the house jumped out his chair

citedly upon all his followers to
bestir themselves in an effort to
defeat this dangerous amendment
And what happened? Why. behold
