s s9 & Il Is also necessary by the terms
fof the act that the question Of the
dental clinic be submitted to the
voters OF the county every two
years. .fi
For the past few years the local
dentists have been very generous in
giving their services to the end
that the teeth OF Fairmont school
children were given proper dental
Garment. Very little. however,
has been done along this line in
other sections Of the county.
Last year the city authorities
gave room in the city building for
the dental clinic TO assist in fl
nancing the clinic. the Business and
Professional Girls Club sold
flowers on the streets and thus
realized considerable sum OF
money.
It is the opinion of those in favor
Of the dental clinics that 1t will not
be necessary to lay the maximum
levy OF 5 cents allowed by the Leg
islature, but that a levy of 8 cents
will adequately provide for the
work now contemplated.

By JACK JUNGMEYER.
&c ANGELES July 7-Courted

Los ANGELES. July 7.-Courted
by the dead.
Besieged day and night by the
phantom Of a matron VINO NAG 2
killed herself for. love Of hln1- "a
nosthumous love more powerful
than the lure of living women
Desperate efforts through drug
and amours to shake off the ghastly
infatuation.
This is the weird defense Donald
10. Stewart, one-time clergyman ana
prominent moral crusader or Gail
fornia, will make when ne IS
brought to trial In Boston on
charges Of bigan1y, grand larceny
and conspiracy.
Stewart and one of his alleged
wives, Mrs. Ethel Osbaldeston
stewart, were arrested near Los
Angeles by Pinkerton detectives On
Eastern warrants.
This woman, while proclaiming
him Jekyll-Hyde, Is standing 10y
ally by the former pastor, corrobo-
rating his tale Of occult terror ana
saving, His last three marriages
ali were performed while he was
under the influence OF drugs
Haunted by LoveIorn Ghost.
For seven years. Stewart asserts,
he mas been haunted by Mrs. Maud
Hendricks, Hayward, Cal, who he
declares committed suicide because
of unrequited love for him.
Explanatory notes were left, and
the scandal that ensued resulted IN
the then fighting pastor being dis
missed nv the Presbyterian Church.
.tHer spirit has fitted between
me and happiness, explains the
cultured, fascinating heart-breaker,
as he is pictured by those MAXIM
the charges. 1ll.g.
"Every night since that tragedy
the woman's wrath has trooped
with stealthy, accusing footsteps
outside my door.
.tWom en- used to say I had fas-
cinating ways. They were the
ways Of desperation. Anything to
counterfeit that creeping presence
1t followed me everything. There
was no peace. 1t was while SO
Mounted that I went from bad to
worse in marriage ventures.
There it is, a tale told in the Los
Angeles jail-one to intrigue the
successors Of Edgar Allen Poe as
well as to. interest the law.
At the time he was unfrocked
Stewart, tits charged, was married
and the father Of three children. He
left them to go East and in wit
mington, Del, married again, he
asserts, seeking forgetfulness."
WEEDS Again in New York.
.Then in New York I met Mrs.
Ethel Osbaldeston, the most in.
spring Influence in my life, whom
I afterward wedded.I married three
others
The asserted wife who was ar
rested with Stewart is declared by
detectives to have posed as his sis.
ter and secretary, to have abetted
his subsequent marriages and to
have conspired with him in wheed.
ling money from various brides, as
is charged.
Psychologists who have had
Stewart, alias Brown, alias Mac
Gregor, under observation declare
his to be a striking case OF dual
nature One Jely1l Of 4 honor, In.
tegrity, brains and honest desire
to nplift his fellows; the other a
Hyde OF sinister promptings.
Perhaps I am" says he. IF so,
it was because of the woman who
haunted me.

TENNESSEE CENTRAL
AUTHORIZED TO REDUCE
SOME OF ITS RATES

Washington, August 19.-The Ten
nessee Central Railroad, showing it
is in need of funds, was authorized
today by the interstate commerce
commission to maintain rates to Lou
isville on traffic originating in prac-
tically all parts of the United States
which are lower than the rates it
maintains for like traffic moving into
intermediate points on it's lines, al
though the haul to intermediate
points is shorter than the haul to
Nashville.
The commission held that rates over
other railroads to Nashville, if the
permission was not given, would be
so much lower than the Tennessee
Central tariffs that it would not OBJ
.ain any of the traffic. The interme-
date communities which would pay
the higher rates under the decision
are interested in the Tennessee Cen
trail as a channel of commerce, the
opinion said, and should gain nothing
If they were given lower rates and
he railroad wuold suspend opera

DEATH TOLLS in
FOREST FIRES
MAY EXCEED Is
Three Towns Wiped Out and
Many Other Settlements
Threatened

Duluth, Mimi, Aug. 1S.-(By the AS
ISOLATED Press)-Fears that the death
toll from the forest fires raging in
northern Minnesota would go beyond
the reported total of 10 when ad
ditional advices were received to-
day from the flame-swept areas were
expressed by scores of refugees who
were arriving hourly from all sec
tions of the north woods.
While National guardsmen con
tinued today the work of succoring re-
fugees, forest rangers. settlers and
others redoubled their efforts in fight
ing the flames, which already have de
stroyed three small towns-Cotton
Central Lakes and Whiteface.
The fate of a score of tiny settle
ments scattered over st. Louis and
Lake counties hung on the weather
today Only a calm could save these
places. Terrific winds were the chief
enemies of the fire fighters yesterday
New fires were reported today in sew
raj sections.
Mindful of the 1913 holocast in
northern Minnesota when more than
400 persons lost their lives, settlers
left their homes, livestock, in fact,
everything they owned. Last night
and today all main roads leading to
Duluth, Eveleth and other northern
villages, were crowded with fleeing
women and children.
