Our mechanics are all busy-all
doing well except the undertaken

such business.

GAINESVILLE Signal.
Another Affidavit.

When the affidavit Of DIR. Obetz,
demonstration of anatomy at Starting
Medical College, denying the state
ment that the body Of Slater, the
colored convict, was skinned when
it was turned over to him, was pub
lished, the Republican press raised
the cry that Obetz was Democrat,
and made the affidavit for the bcne-
fit of his party. What will they
say now concerning the affidavit
given below, of DR.. Gallogly, life
long Republican? The doctor was
connected with the Columbus Medi-
cal College in such capacity at the
time the dead body of the convict
Mccoy was brought there that it
was his duty to handle and examine
the subjects frequently. He is able
to speak positively in regard to the
condition of McCoy's body, and
makes the following affidavit in re-
gard to it:
State of Missouri, Carroll County, ,ss:
Wesley Gallogly, of lawful age,
being first duly sworn according to
law, deposes and says that during
the year 1885 he was connected with
the Columbus Medical College, of
Columbus, Ohio; that on the 22d of
October, 1885, he received the body
of Joseph Mccoy, convict at the
Ohio Penitentiary, from Isaac G..
Poetry, then Warden at that insti-
ton, on an order from Josiah Med
berry, NJ. d., Professor of Anatomy
of the Columbus Medical College,
and receipted for the same.
And deponent further says that
the said body was unmutilated and
in good condition, and that no part
of the skin had been removed at the
time of its delivery at said college.
And further deponent saith not.
WESLEY GALLoGLY, NJ. D.
Sworn to before me by the said
Wesley Gallogly, and by him signed
in my presence this Both day of Sep
tember, A. D. 1886. Witness my
hand and official seal at office in
Dewitt, Mo, on day aforesaid.
JOHN F. TURNER, Notary Public.
DIR. Gallogly is an honest Repub-
lican, and is unwilling to see man
of good reputation foully scandal
lied by stories invented by rascals
and convicted criminals, and circu-
lated by the untiring efforts of de-
signing politicians. In the follow
ing letter he expresses his contempt
for the littleness of members of his
party in Ohio to manufacture cam
paign material:

The Monroe County Medical Socie ty.

lut MVHiOC SVuuty MCulCuI OVCiCts
This association of NJ. DIS held
Its annual meeting at the Court
House in Woodslicld on last Wednes
day and a goodly number of the
Medical men of the County were
present and participated in the de-
liberations of the occasion.
After transacting some prelemina-
ry business, and hearing and acting
on the reports of one or two special
committees, the retiring President
DR.. T. II. Armstrong, delivered his
valedictory address, which was lis
tened to with close attention by all
present, and on the conclusion OF
which vote of thanks was unani.
mously rendered him.
The Society then proceeded tc
elect officers for the ensuing year
and the following named gentlemen
were chosen. President, DR.. w. G..
Webb; vice President, DR.. 1. P. Far
I'quhar; Treasurer, DR.. j. L. Mason
Secretary, Dr.. II. L. Rosenberg
Two very excellent papers were then
read and an interesting discussion
followed, which was participated in
by nearly all members present. The
first one was by DR.. Farquhar on
diptheria, in which he at some length
gave his views and experience on
the nature and treatment of this for
midable disease. DR.. Webb read
the paper on Typhoid fever, which
is spoken of by all present in terms
of the highest commendation. His
long continued and varied exper
ience as a physician in our County
and his familiarity with this fever
as it prevails among Us, render his
utterance as to it's pathology and
! treatment, high authority among tht
members of the profession.
Taken altogether this was thu
best attended and most interesting
session of the Society that has beer
; held, and we predict thht ere long
Monroe County will have a Medica
Association that will be a credit t.
the profession, as well os of grea
utility in its results to the people o
our County.

An Editor Who Knows His Rights.

A newspaper in Illinois recently
b ought suit against forty-three men
who would not pay their subscrip-
tion and obtained judgment in each
case for the full amount of the
claims. OF these twenty-eight made
affidavit that they owned no prop
erty in excess of what the law al
lowed them. thus preventing an at
tachment. Then under the law of
Congress making the taking of a
newspaper from post Office with
out paying for It, they were arrested
for petit larceny and bound over in
the sum of $500 each.

CALAIS.

In our last letter to the SPIRIT we
said we thought Gen. Warner would
get there again, and our assertion
was verified in the Convention last
week at Marietta.
l noticed the other day that
gentleman from McConnelsvillc cmade
a calculation of the probable con-
gressional majorities in the five
counties composing the Fifteenth
District:
Monroe, 1850 Athens, 1850
Washington, $50 Meigs, 1875
Morgan, $50
Total, 5000 81
Total, 1915
If it he about this close it will be
very interesting fight. Monroe
will have to waken up to secure $3.50
majority.
A new style of cane is the go now
in the Republican ranks. 1t is made
of human skin, so says Gov. Fora
ker. Any man who will use such
scheme to advance his own interest
is not worthy of party patronage.
If Montgomery, or Nye either, had
anything to do with the manufacture
of canes out of human skin, and be-
ing Democrats, they certainly did
not act as agents for the Democracy
of Ohio, neither is the Democracy of
Ohio responsible for their wrong do
ings more than either party is re-
sponsible for a. murder committed
by Democrat or Republican.
