The bone was found by W. F.

Quite a sensation has been createa at Corydon. Ind., by the sudden and un- expected departure of Dr. Newman, a leading' specialist of New York. Dr. Newman located in Corydon four or five years ago, and in a short time built up a large practice. This is said to have excited the envy and malice of *bine of the practitioners, and also of two young lawyers of the town, who are supposed to be members of the whitecap organization. Harrison coun- ty has tha reputation of being the birth- place and hot -bed of whitecaps, and the doctor's enemies conceived the idea of resorting to their never failine methods to get rid of him. Accordingly a secret meeting was held in a weird hollow near Coriern. and the result was that the doctor reeeived a notice in regular whitecap form informing him that he must leave Harrison county or suffer the penalty, and being a stranger In the town and knowing something of the acts of Harrison county whitecaps on former occasions, he no doubt deemed It expedient to leave Corydon forth- with. No Use for Cigarettes. Wisconsin's state board of health in session at Milwaukee recently formally praered itself on record against cigarette smoking. The matter came up in the form of an inquiry from an alderman of Eau Claire, who wished to get an opin- ion from the bt,ard before voting on the question of a cigarette ordinance in his city. A committee was appointed to I consider the question, and reported the following resolution: \Resolved by the state board of health, That in itk.opin- ion cigarette smoking is deleterious to the health of al. addicted to the habit; that it is especially deleterious to the physical growth and development of young persons.\ After a short discus- sion, during which members cited nu- merous cases where great injury had been caused by cigarette smoking, the resolution was unanimously passed. Secretary Wingate said that the board was seriously considering the proposi- tion of passirg some general measure to prevent the use of cigarettes by chil- dren in this state. ._.

Two years ago August Danner was sent to the Ionia (Mich.) prison for two years for whipping a man wha'refused to pay him his wages. Dahner served his time and was released recently. When he stepped out of prison he was met at the door by attorneys who In- formed him that a fortune of $225,000 was his when he chose to claim It It appears that Dahner's uncle was one of the original forty-niners and struck pay dirt in the Calico mining district of San Bernardino county, CalWornia, years ago and had increased his wea:th. When he died eighteen months ago he had six living heirs, one of whom is Dahner. Dahner will go back to his home and then go to California to claim the for- tune. When he was sentenced to state's prthon he had the sympathy of the neighborhood. Dahner is young and un- married. . Most Guru It.. A whole family of toothless people has been discovered near Anderson. Ind. James Leonard, the toothless father, was born fifty years ago, and has passed through this much of life a sound and healthy man, but never - had a tooth of any kind inehis head. Twenty years ago he married a e woman who had as fine a set of teeth as could be found, and still has them. They had four chilaren, all of whom are grown, but all like their father in re- gard to teeth. Their gums, however, come down much further than Is ordi- narily the case - and are as firm and' hard an hone. Mr. 'Leonard is able to crack nuts in his jaws without any op- parebt effort, and seems to get along as well as though he had a good set of teeth. The others are able to do the same thing.
