The code of ethics in the medical
profession which has 50 long held the
members Of the old school SO stiff and
straight that they leaned backward
has recently been badly fractured -
Many are expressing grave fears that
the international Medical Congress,
which will assemble in Washington
in 1887, win go all TO pieces over the
code Of ethics. The leading medical
men in the East are thoroughly stir
red up over the question at issue be-
tween the old stand-bys and the re-
formers.

will be increased In some cases reach

prospect OF the mill going on double
time and plenty of work. This looks
like business.

RAILROAD earnings decreased $780,.
100000 in 1884, a falling off Of six
per cent. from 1883. This is an enOr-
nous shrinkago. and the depression
is felt equally in England. Sixteen
Of the leading railways in that coun-
try report q decrease in earnings 81
$4,000, 900 in the past six months,
mostly in coal and iron freights.
Evidently there is trouble ahead for
the over" watered" plants. Higher
rates may be resorted to, but there is
not much prospect of their attracting
traffic.

Another Fool

Louis May returned from western
business trip through central Iowa this
morning. Yesterday he was at Maquo>
keta, and Doris circus was also there.
Mr. May tells of a swindling game which
was successfully carried out upon a
wealthy and well to do farmer by con-
fidence team travelling with the show.
The farmer was enticed into purchasing
tickets in Il lottery He drew an envel-
ope alleged to be worth 5000. The
manipulators then informed the sucker
that they only required proof of his finan.
cial standing before the money called for
in the envelope was turned over to him
They told him if he would give them a
check for $500 they would give him one
for 81 900 in return. He went to the
bank and drew the check for $500 and
received one for 81, 1000 in return. Re
turning to the bank fairly glowing over
his good fortune he deposited the check
