Progress of His Remains Eastward--Me-

ST.. LOUIS, Feb 16.-The remains of Hon.
Fernando Wood, of New York, arrived here
from Hot Springs, Ark, about noon. The
train was delayed several hours. Ex-senator
D. H. Armstrong and John L. Priest, late
members of the Democratic national commit
tee, met the train about three miles out and
took charge Of the body. A committee of the
Arkansas legislature, Senator Judkins and
Boyd, and Representatives Crittenden, Robin
son and Emerson accompanied the remains to
the State line, where it was expected COM
mittee from the Missouri legislature would
meet it. This was not done, however, and the
Arkansas committee came on to st. Louis,
where it will remain till tomorrow. James
Wood, son of the deceased and Mrs. Baldwin,
his sister, were on the train and will accom-.
pany the body home The remains were in a
splendid casket in an express car. Messrs.

The result was more than thirty addition.
al cases. His theory in such diseases was
to ward them off as long as possible, by
thorough sanitation, and to kill them of
when the outbreak occurs, by complete
separation from the community at large.
In such work as this the clergy could
work more advantageously than
the physician, because the public
was naturally suspicious, aAdlas physic-
ian got his livelihood through illness, it
was wont to Judge all propositions look
ing to change in the regular order as q
money making scheme on his part.
DR.. Hagan thought the remedy for
much Of the sickness Of the day would be
found in system Of general medical care,
by'which every family should be com.
PEELED to have a regular physician, not
so much to cure them when
sick, as to prevent disease.
Statistics show that one-half the people
dying annually die from preventive dis
eases. The poor were the greatest suffer
ers, the cause being found In their small
and unwholesome quarters. In educa-
ting these poor people how to make the
best OF their surroundings, the clergy
could be Of invaluable assistance to the
physician.
The discussion was further continued in
the same general strain by Senator
Wedge, Of Albert Lea, and DR.. Brewer
Mattocks, Of st. Paul, the latter Of whom
laid great stress upon the necessity for
cleanly surroundings as a preventive Of
disease.
At the close of the debate the follow
ing resolution, introduced by Bishop
Ireland and seconded by Rev DR..
Thomas, was adopted
Resolped, That this council urge upon
communities the Importance Of volun-
tary sanitary associations, and co-opera-
tion with local and State boards Of health.
The council then took recess to 7:30

DR.. Berry, Of New Ulm, detailed his
experience the past three years in fight
ing the dread disease diphtheria When
the disease first made its appearance in
an epidemic form in the country tributary
to New Ulm, some three years ago, he
endeavored to excite an interest among
city officials and citizens2generally, for a
systematic and thorough sanitation of the
city. His efforts were unavailing, the
people, not then afflicted, refusing to see
the importance of warding off the
disease. He then prophes,ed the
neglect to adopt preventlves would result
in great fatality, and he was sorry to say
his prophesy had been most fearfully
fulfilled. Failing to get his views adopt
ed by the public at large, he had labored
faithfully among his own patrons to get
them to prepare for the coming of the
scourge, and with such success that
among all legitimately belonging to his
practice there had been only one case,
and that from persistence of the parents
in sending the child to the public school
after other members of the school were
stricken with the disease. Continuing
his experience, DR.. Berry cited an instance
of where five victims of diphtheria had
been buried from the same church at the
