Three Fires This Week.

Three fires in one week is very unus-
ual for Macon. It can only be account
ed for by the mysterious and unexplain-
able laws that cause misfortunes of
that kind to follow each other in sue
cession The first was the
Blythe Old House
which was destroyed by fire last
Friday night about seven o'clock. The
house was owned by Mr.. M. J. Dunn
and had been occupied until the night
before the fire, by a Mr.. Mullins and
wife. Mullins was barber and had
worked for Mr.. Dunn for several
months. On account of an unpleasant
ness, Mullins and his wife had vacated
the house the day before and moved to
the Kirby House. 1t was reported to
Mr.. Dunn that Mrs. Mullins was seen
going from the direction of the house
short time before the fire. An affidavit
was sworn out by Mr.. Dunn, and Mrs.
Mullins was arrested, charged with in
cendiarism. At a trial before Mayor
Horton Saturday morning she was dis
charged, the evidence against her not
being sufficient to hold her for the
grand jury

PHYSICIAN SUED
Iowa Man Brings Action to Recover
Damages for Morphine Habit.

Cedar Rapids, Ia. July 28.-Al-
leging that he was made a confirmed
dope fiend" because of morphine
and other drugs given him to allevi-
ate pain, Henry Hersh has filed suit
in the Linn county district court
against DR.. w. A. York of Lisbon,
Ia, for $11,750 damages.
III the case is not settled before
coming to trial ii promises to bring
out some interesting testimony as to
just how far a doctor may go in ad-
ministering drugs to patients. Hersh
claims that in September, 1909, he
became ill and that DR.. York told
him he knew he could effect a cure.
The plaintiff declares that the physi-
clan began by giving him occasional
doses of morphine, but that as the
habit grew it required more frequent
treatments" until he was taking as
many as twelve doses a week at a
charge of from $3.50 to $3.50 per
dose.
Hersh sets forth in his petition
that he suffered excruciating pain
and %tortures when not under the in
fluence of the drug and that finally
he was compelled to enter an insti-
tuition to break himself of the crav-
ing for morphine. He asserts that
il cost him $3.50 for treatment at
the sanatorium in addition to the
$500 he spent with DR.. York for
morphine and hypodermic syringes.

INDIANS WILL STAY
Government Declines TO Pay Cost of
Indians Changing Location.

Gettysburg. July 2S.-Sioux In
dams have been in council listening
to h reports of the delegation which
recently returned from Washington
after interviewing the Indian com
missioner in regard to several tribal
matters and also with a suggestion
that the agency be removed from its
present location on the Missouri
river, west of Forest City and Get
tysburg, to some other remote part
OF the Indian reservation. Ii is be-
lieyed that the council will vote not
to remove the agency, because the
federal government refused to pay
any OF the expenses of such removal
and told the Sioux delegation that If
Ii was removed il would be with
money from the tribal funds. This
suggestion that all the costs of re-
moval would be charged to the In
dams has put a quietus to the agita-
ton to remove the agency, and ii is
expected that the council now in ses-
sion will vote against paying the
costs of removal from tribal funds.

COMMITTEE
VIII Draft n Bill to Guarantee De-
posits.

Pierre. July 2S.-While South
Dakota bankers, as a whole, are rath-
er hostile to the idea of a bank guar
anty act the members of this pro
fession realize that such Legislation
is a strong possibility for the next
legislative session. For that reason
a committee was appointed at the
last meeting of the state association
to make an extensive study of the
subject and labor to secure a meas
ure that will satisfy the bankers.
During the last legislative Session
there were so many bankers in the
state senate that all guarantee meas
ures had hard shedding in that body.
The banker members at that time
were willing to support a measure in
which the guarantee fund was estab-
ifshed by general state taxation, but
this idea was given a cold shoulder
by the n~on-banker legislators.
The special committee appointed
by the Bankers association met here
Saturday and prepared a rough draft
of the bill which the bankers expect
to support before the legislature,
but details of their bill we're not
given out. This special committee
is composed OF b. A. Cummins of
Pierre, II. T.. Cone of Huron, f. T..
Kiddo of Sioux Falls, j. f. Pratt of
Clark and John II. Whitlock of Get
tysburg.
A guarantee bill initiated by the
democratic state central committee
was filed with the secretary of state
after the close of the legislative ses-
sion. This initiated measure will
come before the 1915 legislative ses-
sion and will go before the voters i'm
the 1916 fall election.

Despite the determination OF Aus

All Germany Is stirred by the wal

Russia is adamant in the position
that invasion Of Servia by the forces

be permitted without interference by

No formal declaration of war has
been promulgated. The Servian min
