MARION COUNTY DOCTORS.
A Meeting of More than Usual Interest to
the Profession.

The Marion County Medical Society met in the
council chamber last evening, AS usual, DIR. L.
W. Thompson in the chair. DR.. w. V. Morgan,
of Juliette, Marion county, reported case Of
obstruction of the ascending colon, occurring
in woman of fifty years, and which obstruction
proved, on postmortem examination by Dr.
George Cook, to be due TO hillary hstua The
ascending colon was adherent to the bile cyst,
and the bile passed both into the colon and the
duodenum. There was a band of cicatrical
tissue closing the intestine completely. The case
was one of unusual interest. and had re-
sisted all treatment applied by Dr..
Morgan and DR.. Wooden, who was. called in
consultation. DIR. Joseph Eastman characterized
the case as a pathological curiosity. He thought
it worthy of wide publication. Here the scalpel
of the pathologist the best diagnostician.
DR.. Cook. who made the autopsy, discussed
the case, citing in comparison q case of bursting
of the gall bladder, in his practice, due to gall
stones the patient dying in half an hour. Dr.
Cook thought these cases established the fact
that the contents OF the intestine are fluid until
they pass into the colon, and also that most of
the food is absorbed from the large intestine
DR.. j. ComingOr thought in such cases surgic-
al interference, even II resulting in death, is
preferable to the continuance of life in misery
Tor short time by merely palliative treatment.
DIR. Frank Morrison reported three cases of
obstruction in which he had made autopsies
DR.. Huughton discussed the surgical aspect Of
the case urging operative procedures for bowel
obstruction.
DR.. T. B. Harvey reported a case of reappear-
ing and disappearing tumor of the Intestine
a "phantom tumor" In fact. The autopsy showed
two constructions of the colon about six inches
apart; the space between would fill with gas,
thus forming the tumor.
DR.. i W. Thompson thought our theory and
practice did not agree. What justified in
Germany is not allowed in America, unless it
DO in hospital or pO0r-hOuse practice. DR.. G.
l. Fletcher stated case an9 DR.. Morgan closed
the discussion.

CANDIDATES FOR COUNCIL.
Some of the Men Who Want to Represent
Their Wards in the City Legislature.

The forthcoming municipal election will be one
of very unusual interest, largely on account of
/ the political significance Of the result, and es-
pecialy on account of the much agitated local
questions involved. Although the nom
mating conventions will not be hell yet
Tor several weeks. there is now considerable
gossip about prospective candidates, and speeu-
latioh on the probabilities which are likely to he
developed. Ae the election is almost exclusively
Republican affair, there is hardly even sug-
gestion of Democrat in all that is said aud no
one seems to care what they do number
OF aspirants for the aidermanc hon
ors are already announced. In the
first district Frank W Hamilton, the
present alderman, George W. Stubbs and Judge
ID. j. Burns are mentioned as candidates. In the
second district there are three candidates;
James A. Prltchard councilman from the Third
ward; Henry j. Mauer, councilman from She
Fourteenth ward and Albert Moore. Mr.. Lay
man refuses a reelection. In the Third district,
Mr.. k0rlsOn is a candidate for reelection. Tuck
er will be a candidate for reelection in the
FOURTH district, but Sebert says that he will not
seek a reelection.
In most of the wards the candidates for cleo
tlon 10 the Council are already out. In the First
ward George Weaver is a candidate for reelec-
ton, but IN the Second ward Harvey Stout has
SO iar refused To again be a candidate, and
Arthur Tlmberlake Is mentioned for the place.
Cal. Darnell. William Floyd, Lewis johnson and
Joe Stemen are candidates i'll the Third ward
TO succeed Pritchard. 10 the Fourth ward
Henry Smther is candidate in opposition to
Allen Caylor, who wants to be reelected, but
stands no show. John Pearson is without Opposl-
ton IN the Fifth ward. DR.. Ward, of the Sixth,
fuses TO be candidate for reelection, but DR..
Bedford, in the Seventh ward, is again ia the
held. Phil. Reichwein, in the Ninth ward will
probably be renominated by reclamation. b. W.
Cole, 1t is understood, is willing again repre-
sent the Tenth ward. Isaac Ihalman has already
been renominated in the Eleventh ward, and
viii again be elected. James Reese is candi-
date in the Twelfth ward in opposition W. H.
Morrison. John COwie will probably be candi-
date for reelection In the Thirteenth.
Mr.. Bryce will not refuse the nominal
ton to again represent the Seventeenth. In the
Twentieth rather formidable opposition TO
Councilman Yoke, who is a candidate for
election, has developed. G, W. Hill and Joseph
Earnshaw are mentioned as candidates, while
T. NJ Gallahue, very reputable and
popular gentleman, is being ongly@urged to
represent the ward. Edgar Brundage, in the
Twenty first ward, refuses to again he
candidate, and Harry J. Ketchum and G. w.
Lehman are mentioned for the place. Dean, in
the Twenty third, and Knodel, in the Twenty
fourth, will be candidates for reelection. Other
cannldates are likely TO materiaize in the differ
ent wards before the time for holding the nom

A Good Corn Crop Insures Heavy

and Illinois Roads.
A good corn crop, says the general freight
agent of of the Indiana polls system OF roads,
is worth much more TO Indiana and Illinois
roads than a good wheat crop. In fact, i'll these
States, he said, good oats crop worth about
as much to Indiana and Illinois roads as
good wheat crop. Railroad, and business men
well, he thought, we're apt to OveresiiInate the
value of the wheat crop to railroads. This was
in large measure due to the fact that for three
years past we have had poor corn crops. The Rail
road Gazette says tho corn crop is usually worth
more in money than all other grains put together,
and gives larger tonnage to the railroads, and a
failure of it like that of 1881, which was 80 per
cent. less than that of 1880. has an effect which
lasts for some years. AT the beginning of this
year the number of hogs in this country
100000 q per cent? less than . q years be-
fore, Notwithstanding great general growth of
the country, including an increase in population
of nearly 10 per cent This probably wholly
due TO the short corn crop of 1881. The mum
Der of hogs packed since February has been very
much less than in 1881 and some previous years,
so that The effect stl lasts; and though, as this
animal breeds very fast, we may expect great
increase in the number for winter, packing
latter October, if there is plenty of
corn, there will PROBABLY he much fewer
even then than the 7,4S0,o00 packed in this
season in 1850, the 6,950,000 and
6.9l9 5000 in the two following Year,, which fell
to 5,74S,OO0 in 18S1-S2, and the 1855. 900 last
winter. These changes nave great effect on
farmers, merchants and carriers, and on our
port trade, and Indispensable to a recovery is a
good corn crop.
The effect of the poor crop, however, is much
greater some parts of the country ami on
some railroads than on oJners. In fact, the
chief effect has been on a somewhat limited dis
trlct, and especially last year. In three of the
chief corn-growing States, Illinois Iowa and H.
diana, the yield in 1882 very little more
than in 1881, and was l43, OO0, 600 less than In
1880 and 243, 600, 900 less than in 1874 tre
mendous decrease to be suffered by three States
and their railroads. A good corn crop, said the
general freight agent, means not only heavy
through traffic. but a good local traffic, well,

Packers and Commission Men-Ad-
mirable Arrangements for Water
and Drainage.

The stockyard surroundings never looked bet
ter than at present and being within a short
walk of the southern extremity of the Pennsyl-
vsnia street line, almost every day brings large
number OF visitors. The reeeiptso of cattle and
hogs for the week thus far have been good prices
fair and improving. The cattle are mostly local,
a large number coming through from St.
Louis. The cattle that come to this market are
said by stockmen to be better than go to Chicago.
Few Texas cattle: more Colorado. The com
mission firms at the yards and all doing good
business are Jeffrey. HerriOtt d Co., W. G. Short

The RIM of sheep for the past week has been
light. Tue number of sheep received at these
yards is constantly increasing, year after year.
Not only the shipments from ST. Louis get.
ting larger, but Indiana Is growing as sheep
raising State.
II ls noticed that hogs are rather heavier this
month than last, and OF improved quality. There
is little or iisras; in hogs now and raisers
are cOrrespOndiugiy JOYFUL. All the packing
houses will run here this winter aud kingan
& Co. kill 5000 day and the other houses to-
gether about many, il Will take $4,000 head
a day TO supply the local demand. Buyers for
Eastern markets can and will take as many
more so that the yards will probably handle
from 10000 to % 600 hogs "a day in the height
of the winter season. Kingan is now killing
1000 day and tue Eastern demand through the
commission men taxes up all hogs that come 10
this market.

condition. Compared with other yards the &C.
