Louisville, May 14. Walter N. Haldeman, president of the Louisville Courier-Journal company, and one ot the wealthiest, best known and best loved men in Louisville, died at 5 o'clock this morning of peritonitis caused by being knocked down by a street car in front of his home last Saturday. The end came with shock- c.nnnooct It WOO hAllOVpH VPS. terday that Mr.

Haldeman was recovering rapidly from hi3 injuries. At 3 o'clock a. m. a decided change for the worse came. He sank rapidly and in two hours had passed away, closing in his eighty-second year an honored life such as falls to the lot of few men.

The funeral took place at 4 o'clock Wednesday afternoon from the late home, 906 Fourth avenue. The services were conducted by the Rev. Dr. Charles R. Hemphill, formerly pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, of which Mr.

Haldeman had long been a member. Because of the advanced years of Mrs. Haldeman it was not deemed wise for her to undergo a church funeral. The pallbearers were as follows Active W. B.

Phillips, W. A. Milton, Y. Ford, R. W.

Brown, E. G. Logan, Harrison Robertson, W. A. Robinson and G.

E. Johnson. The honorary pallbearers will be George W. Morris, Br. R.

Young, Gen. John B. Cas-tleman, Col. Reuben T. Durrett and Col.

Richard C. Wintersmith. Great Mind Kept Clear. Almost up to the moment of his death Mr. Haldeman was perfectly conscious, hi3 mind being clear and rational.

There is some question, in deed; whether for a single instant he lost consciousness, but toward the end there were indications that now and then he wandered. It was thought that once or twice he referred to Naples, and imagined he was there, but these lapses were but momentary, and, as the family gathered about the bedside of their loved one, he gave each a sign of recognition. The extreme suddenness of the fatal summons was shown by the fact that last night Mr. Bruce Haldeman and his family were so completely assured of the patient's safe condition that they spent the night at their country home, In Southern Heights. Mr.

Haldeman was at once notified by telephone when the danger developed, but he was unable to reach his father's bedside before the end. Was Ready for the End. On Sunday, speaking to his eldest son, Mr. William B. Haldeman, Mr.

Haldeman said: "This is a Providence of God, and if it is His will 'that I g6, I am ready, but the physicians assure me that 1 am not dangerously hurt, and if I recover the accident will teach me a lesson in being more cautious with street At another time Mr. Haldeman said "There is compensation for my trouble In fha tvi Tnw lr i nninnlai rvff art manv niUU lUljUU ICO UL KW liJ 11 friends." He had been greatly touched by the wide expressions of regret at his injuries and the countless wishes for his recovery. Ever since the accident a stream of people had called at the bouse to send to the injured man a message of sympathy and of good will, -while letters and telegrams came from every quarter. Affectionate Death Scene. When Dr.

Pearce saw that Mr. Haldeman could last but a short time longer, Mrs. Haldeman knelt at the ibedside, and her husband, looking at her, spoke his last words. They were the words with which these two beautiful lives had been linked in the younger days of long ago; the wnrds thev had so often spoken to other in their happy life Journey; and now, at the end -of the race for one, at the moment of parting for both, the same old words were spoken, for Mr, Haldeman. said to, wife only this "I love you He said no more In life.

He could have left no sweeter message to a stricken heart in Thus died a man. whom the whole community esteemed, and whose friendships were numerous and close. He had held out the helping hand to many a man, and he had come to the front in many a good cause.

another son, died a few years since. His Business Habits. One of Mr. Haldeman's great beliefs was in a good day's work. He liked to be busy, and to know that he "was still in the game," as he sometimes expressed it.

During the later years of his life it was his custom to go to the office between 10 and 11 o'clock in the morning, work until about 2 o'clock," and then go home for dinner. Sometimes he walked home, but his custom was to take a car. After dinner he returned to his office, and remained at his desk usually until after 6 o'clock. He delighted in his work, and every little detail about the offices of his newspapers interested him. It was no rare sight to see him patiently climbing the steps to the second hoor, after the remodeling of the building, to talk with some one in the editorial depart- ment and comment on some good piece of newspaper work or make suggestions about the way certain questions should be considered.

He never lost his enthusiasm for exciting or important news, and he liked to be told what was going on in advance of the hour of publication. A Man of Much Wealth. Naturally, devoted as he was to business, Mr. Haldeman accumulated much wealth. Besides being practically the absolute owner of the Courier-Journal and Times and the magnificent building in which they are housed, he was the principal owner of the plant of the Courier-Journal Job Printing comnanv.

IN INDIANA ALSO. Methods of the Beef Trust Will Be investigated.

Indianapous, May 14. A feder al grand jury In charge of District Attorney Kealing began an investigation today of the methods of the beef trust in Indianapolis.

Mr. Editor: As osteopathy is now attracting so much attention and is occupying such a conspicuous place 1l the world of medicine, I thought it would not be amiss to tell the readers of your valuable paper something about this science and what it is doing. Osteopathy is the science of treating diseased conditions of the bodj without the use of the knife or drugs It is not a Christian science and neithei does, it have anything in common with massage, magnetic healing, etc.

It purely a "common-sense" method oi treatment. Osteopathy is a system ol mechanical manipulations. It also, accepts everything in the nature of hygienic and physiological measures that look toward the relief of suffering. While osteopathy is scarcely a quarter of a century old, and in fact it has been generally practiced but about ten years, it has grown so in popular favor tnat today it is regarded as the foremost method of treatment. Osteopathy is no passing fad or fancy.

It has proven itself by its works. Its results speak for it and thousands of people all ever the United States proclaim the benefit they have received from this method of treatment. Osteopathy has won its way strictly upon its own merits. Chronic cases of every description, cases that have baffled the most eminent medical skill in this country and in Europe, have been cured by osteopathy. It will not cure the incurable, but it will do more towards restoring people to health than any other system of treatment known to the scientific world.

Every broad-minded physician, whether he be of the allopathic or the homeopathic school, admits the great worlf that osteopathy has done and is doing. Aside from the great good that osteopathy is doing suffering humanity it is one of the most lucrative professions in existence. It is the one profession that is not over-crowdecL Oseopathic physicians are making from $1,500 to $15,000 a year and dont have to devote all their time to their work. Women as well as men are receiving a handsome income from the practice. Are you considering a life-work? Do you want to become self-sustaining and have a comfortable income? If you do, investigate osteopathy.

Began the Struggle With the World at Sixteen. Walter Newman Haldeman was a native of Maysville, where he was born April 27, 1821. As a boy he attended the Maysville academy, and later went to Transyivania university at Lexington. At the age of sixteen he i closed his scholastic career and come with his father to settle in Louisville. His first employment was with the wholesale grocery house of Rogers Dunham.

In 1840 Mr. Haldeman withdrew from this firm and became a clerk in the office of the Louisville Journal, then being published by Prentice Weissinger. After remaining with the paper for several years Mr. Haldeman decided to enter business on his own responsibility. His nucleus, which was obtained from his aunt, Catherine New man, consisted of S300.

With this sum i he fitted out a circulating library, and, as the publication of cheap books by famous authors was in its incipiency, the public took to the idea with avidity. "The Daily Dime." On March 11, 1843, Mr. Haldeman made his bow as a publisher, joining in the publication of a small newspa- per which he called the Daily Dime. In 1844 he became sole proprietor, and i immediately changed the name of the paper to the Courier. The early vicissitudes of the paper were many and the ultimate success was due almost entirely to the energy and watchfulness of the enthusiastic proprietor.

In 1853 Mr. Haldeman sold a half interest to W. D. Gallagher, the poet, but bought it back In 1854. In October, 1857, Mr.

Reuben T. Durrett purchased a half interest fn the paper, but sold it in 1859 to Walter G. Orerton, In this year the printing establishment was incorporated under the name of tne L.ouisvne courier criming company." This arrangement continued- effective without change until the suppression of the paper on September 1'8, 1861, Gen. Robert Andersn makmg a seizure of the office and stopping the publication. Paper Followed tfoe? Army.

Then came an- exciting period. In order to escape arrest, Mr. Haldeman fled Southward and" Into the Confederate lhreo at Bowling Greeu, Ky. Here, under the direction1 of Gen. Albert Sidney Jornrecnr and' rem' Simon Bolivar Buckner, he resumed! the publi cauon or ms paper, loauius mc- number only two weeks after its sus- pension at Louisville.

When the Confederatxs- evaxtiated Bowling Green, Mr. Haldienran moved his pa-per from that city, snxf kept up its publication at Nashville, fotaowing the army from that place. At thss time it was facetiously called! throaghout Kentucky and the South: "The Louis-ville-BowImg Courier." Consolidation With; jWmal. At the close of the war Mr. Haldeman removed Ms paper to Louisville, and at once placed it on a successful footing.

The consolidation of the Lou isville Journal took place in 1868, with Mr. Haldeman as president of the company. The only political office which Mr. Haldeman ever held was the position of surveyor of the port of Louisville under President Buchanan. Mr.

Haldeman was a zealous and devoted Presbyterian, and had all his life been a consitent member of this church. Mr. Haldeman married Miss Eliza Metcalfe, of Cincinnati, in 1844. Ot this marriage, there were six children, one of whim died in infancy, and one, Lizzie, the oldest daughter, became the wife of Mr. Charles D.

Pearce. She died several years ago. The others are Isabel, William B. and Bruce. John A.
