A High Medical Authority Praises His
Work.
We clip the following from the Maryland
Medical Journal Of February 18th:
Since the organization of the State
Board OF Health Of West Virgins, in 1881,
this body has achieved the distinction OF
being one of the most efficient health organ
i~Eations in this country. This Board OF
Health has done a large amount of valuable
work for the profession in the State OF
West Virginia, and BY its energy and
courage has so reformed the practice Of
medicine in the State that qusckerY aud
quacks have been forced to seek patronage
outside of Its borders. A healthy and an
honest public and professional sentiment has
been developed in West Virginia in reference
to scientific medicine. The people of the
State enjoy the benefit of effective health
laws ard are secure against the services of
ignorant and dishonest practitioners of med
iciEe.
The efficient work of this State Board
of Health is an illustration Of the benefit
such an organization can confer upon the
profession and public when its executive
officer Is a mar of energy, courage and
ability. Whilst not wishing to detract an
iota tlsm the value of the services of the
other members Of the West Virginia State
Board Of Health, We firmly believe that to
its efficient aud able Secretary. DR., Jas &.
Reeves, ofWbeeEng, Is due a need OF praise

The Iroqusos Club of Chicago Passes
Through to Washington.
A number of persons from this city went
downto Benwood yesterday morning to see
the immense train of exeurslonlsts go
through to Washington. As previously
stated the train consisted of five sections OF
ten cars each, and the section which attract
ed the most attention was n occupied oy
the Iroouios Club of Chicago. This was
composed of six Mann Boudoir cars, all
named after the ~wellknown operas, as fol-
lows L. Esvile du horde, ldomereo, Les
Huguenots, Parsifsl, and La Giaconda.
TIE members Of the club los in number
were silk badges trimmed in silver
Among them were from thlrty-hye to
seventy business men Of wealth. There
seventeen porters on the six cars, besides
three private walters. The train was in
charge of Captain Robert W. Moore, who
brought it this far, and many were the re-
prets expressed that the genial Captain
could not continue with them in their tri-
umphal ride. They left Chicago at $40 p.
m. and arrived at Benwood at 7:O5.
On the engine was the figure oil
an immense lnQlan nOlulug q tomaue"
aloft in his right hand and a scalp IN the
left. Below was the following inscription:
TWENTY-FIVE years we've been on the trail
and we've got EN- at last"
Inside the ears was a scene OF content
ment and elegance seldom witnessed on a
railroad. The cars contained every con-
venience imaginable and all the members
ofthe club were in exceedingly high spirits;
The bill of fare was printed in French and
contained all the delicacies of the
season, along with many out of season.
Among the articles mentioned were celery
and branches" playing cards, A; Dougher-
TVS first quality, per pack 81" The finest
wines and cigars were in abundance, and
the members of the club were living like
lords, and it made a poor ordinary mortal
feel sad at heart to see them.
Among those on board was noticed Col
W. D Mann, President; Count Zacharof,
of London, England, Vice President, and
C. K. Lord, of Baltimore, General Passen-
ger Agent of the B. & o. railroad.

The Ice In the River Runs Out without
Damage.
AT halfpast eleven o'clock yesterday
morning sharp blasts from the whistles Of
the steamers Princess and Belle Prince,
! lying about the water works, announced
hat the ice in the river was a. last on the
move, and soon hundreds Of people locked
to the banks or to the suspension bridge to
catch a glimpse OF the breakup. The ice
moved ont slowly at first, but about fifteen
minutes of twelve it let 90
in earnest, and henceforth spedrapidly past
the city. The lie was yeIy thick, and no
damage was do lie in this vicinity. An i'm
mense gorge for med in the Back river, som
after the break, throwing the entire flow
down the east c Channel. The rush Of ic
past the mouth Of the creek prevented the
gorge in that stream from coming out, and
to all appearance the ice and slush is O
solid mass from the bottom up.
At Wellsburg the steam ferryboat vas
cut down and sunk, but we were unable to
learn how badly the craft was damaged.
At Pittsburg last night river men were in
q happy frame Of mind. The rise in the
M~onongahela was so gradual and reached
Just such q height that the icebound stream
is now broken up. The ice is now coming
out of Pool No. 3. That from the fourth
and fifth pools is also coming out and will
pass this city tonight The ice now flowing
is so broken up that not the least trouble
has been experienced. That from the up
per pools viii probably be heavier and more
compact but no trouble is anticipated. The
Allegheny ice is still firm, but it canno
stand the warm weather much longer.

Governor jackson Notes His Objections to
The Boom BILL"
Governor Jackson yesterday sent to the
Secretary Of State the following veto mes,
sage:
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA,
ExECUTIyE DEPARTMENT
WHEELING, March ;, 1885.
To the Hon. Randolph Stalnaker, Jr., Sec,
Rotary o fState:
On the 9th day of February the Commit
tee on Enrolled Bills presented to me for
my approval an act entitled IAN act to
amend and eenact Section Is Of chapter
"a Of the acts of che Legislature, incerpo-
rating the Elk River Improvement, Manu-
featuring and Booming Company, passed
February 21th, 1862" Not beng able to
give my assent to said act becoming q law,
| return the same to your Office to be filed
with my objections thereto, as provided
in section II, article 7 Of the Coustitu.
ton.
Elk river is a public highway, and is so
recognized BY the act Incorporating this
company. The proviso in the third section
of said act being that said booms be so
| constructed as to admit the safe passage Of
RATS and boats and not TO prevent the usvi-
cation Of said river or tributaries" Being
. nayigsble stream the title to the bed,
the shores and banks to ordinary high water
mark is now in the State of West Virginia
for the use Of the public. This conclusion
is absolutely necessary to properly preserve
for the people the free navigation Of the
highway. = = And the free naviga-
ton of the same carries with it the right to
do aIl that is necessary for the proper and
profitable navigation thereof" (YaYens-
wood vs.. Fleming; % ". Va, page So
The Legislature may therefore regulate
the manner in which the navigation Of the
stream may be carried on, "the shores, bed
and banks being held by the State in trust
for the public" cd, page COY. Thus the
State may grant to q city the exclusive right
to build Wkarves &c. The exclusive right
to ferry Mason vs. BriCge Company, II w.

diyduals or TO private corporations exclu-
sive rights in its public domain ofnavigsble
streams. (See Crenshsw vs.. Slate River

The Elk river being . nsyigsble stream
held in trust for the public. it was within
the power Of the Legislature to enact the
