Asmall residence owned by Jobn Pyle and occupied by A. O. Tuttle, in the south part of the city, was damaged by fire Saturday evening. The blaze was started from a defect- ive flue in the kitchen, which was par- tially burned. Thefire company ar- rived in time to save the main part of the building.

MAGNETIC HEALING ON TRIAL on Governor The Case of Weltmer Against Dr. Palmore and Rev. Bishop for Slander. A Vast Array of Witnesses and Much Interest Taken. The most noted case which has been tried in our circuit court for many years is that of Weltmer vs. Bishop and Dr. Palmore, brought on a change of venue from Vernon county. This is a case in which Rev. Bishop, the South Methodist minister at Ne- vada, wrotea scathing article attack- ing magnetic healing. which was published in the St. Louis Christian Advocate. over his signature, in which he asserted that from five to twenty dead bodies were shipped out of Ne- vada each week, directly traceable to that system of treatment. Weltmer brought suit for twenty thousand dollars damages against both Rev. Bishop, and Dr. Palmore, editor of the Advocate. The case was called Tuesday morn- ing anda deraurrer was made by defendants’ nttorney to plaintiff's petition. The theory of the defense was the criticism was an attack upon thesys- tem of magnetic healing and not the man, and hence claim there could be no libel. The counsel for the plaintiff claim that it was a specific charge that four or more bodies were shipped out of that city every week and that it was not a privileged communication. The argument of this motion con- sumed the forenoon, when Judge Graves overruled the motion. The following jury was selected froma venire of eighteen: W. W. Leach, Will Jackson, C. D. Garrison, Parish Nick- ell, Ned O'Dea, J. B. H. McDaniel, Joe Reinhart, T. L. Harris, John Phelps, Will White, Fred Cobb and M. T. Duncan. Prof. Weltmer was the first witness and he was subjected toa very severe eross-examination by Mr. Scarrett. Professor Weltmer has Scott & Bawker, of Nevada, Francisco & Clark and Dooley & Ludwick, of Butler to push his claims, while the defense is represented by M. T. January. of Ne- vada; Judge Wm. Williams, of Boon- ville; W. C. Searritt, of Kansas City, and W. 0. Jackson. A vast army of witnesses, principally from Nevada, are present. It will be a battle royal between these distinguished attorneys and the outcome would be difficult to foretell. every East Side Square, Catholic Bazar and Festival.
