and he decided he could start little
sanitarium of his sort in his own
little town. Accordingly eighteen
years ago he went TO Cincinnati and
took in a special course in electrical
and physiological therapeutics. Re-
turning he at once bought electrical
equipment and started in on his new
idea In this he was very successful.
Putting in an electrical power plant
of his own, he gave lights to the vii
lage, and built up we'll equipped in
stitution, in which he treated all
sorts of chronic diseases with a
marked success which brought him
all the work he could handle without
advertising-an institution which
might have grown 10 large proper
tions in town with modern con-
veniences. He was conducting this
place when he was striker down by
paralysis IA months before his
death.
During his labor for score years
! in Elwell he saw the country round
about developing step by step; The
many old log houses of 40 years ago
replaced by beautiful farm homes;
and acres and acres of timber lands
give way for fields of grain. The OLD
log Corduroy" roads over which he
walked then rode his pony, and later
bumped along with his old buck
board buggy, almost impossible dur
ing the rainy seasons-now Offer
little resistance to the doctor of to-
day. He came to the place when ex-
istance was still a struggle for tn,
old pioneers and settlers. His life
had always been struggle too, sc
his sympathies went out to the lab
oring class of people. Blunt il
speech with rough and ready ex
terror, yet possessing a jovial dis
position with tender sympathi'
heart; forgetful of his own needs anc
always laboring with the relief o.
lhuman suffering uppermost in hi
mind, he was specially fitted for hi
labors among the sturdy countr!
people where he had chosen his life
work. He quickly found a place il
their hearts and after nearly A
years, they loved him still. Thi
was evident not only by the flora
tribute for his burial, but also b.
the fact that during the long months
of his illness, his room was never ;
week without flowers from some o
his many friends, both old and new
and far and near.
Funeral services were held at hi
home in Elwell, conducted by Rev
Jackson of Alma. who read at tn
close, the poem, "hTe Country Doe

only unfair to the citizens, whom they are
supposed to protect, but is unfair to other
members of the force who perform their
duty strictly TO the letter of the reguia-

these cases indicates that the commis-
