John S. Kerr, n stock grower living at
Elk Mountain, shot his young brother, w.
s. Kerr, a few days ago. The trouble origi-
mated from the fact that while ]. s. Kerr
was away from home the brother seduced
his wife. His son. a boy OF some seventeen
years, first told Mr.. Kerr OF the state OF
affairs in his household. J. 8. Kerr immedi-
ately decided all his property to his son
ed to him by his father, and the controver-
sly brought ]. s. Kerr back to the scene Of
his disgrace. In trying to settle the mat
ter with his brother hot words ensued, and
w. 8. Kerr shot at his brother, the shot
taking effect in one OF his legs. j. S. Kerr
returned the fire and killed his brother.
j. s. Kerr last year represented Carbon
county in the lower house ofthe legislature,
and was speaker OF the house.

ed in value TO s91, 100000. Thestate
has territory larger than the Aus

DRUGS SHOULD NOT BE SUPPLIED BY
CONTRACT,

The investigation Of Dr.. C. D.. ].
BNsELL for alleged failure to supply &C,
eording to contract, the drugs necessary
for the sick poor, makes it very evident
thar the contract system is not at all times
. safe one and 3 desirable one. This as
sertiou is made not for the purpose ofreAect,
ing on Dr.. BNsELL, bat for the following
reasons:
Every one will admit that if the county
assumes the responsibility Of caring for the
health Of the poor it should do it right.
Whenever medicines are to be furnished
the county should know, if possible,
that they are in the proper amount and the
proper kind and are pure. The county
should have nothing 1t ell to do with doc
toring the DOOR if it al not do otherwise
than assume such . position and then
place their lives in jeopardy BY giving ia
sufficient and improper medical aid.
Il is known thst at times there is great
Auctusiou in the price Of drugs. A mar
NAV agree to FL ell prescriptions for g
certain district for $50 or s75, bat find in
a short time that the price has SO increased
that he can not do it for that sum without
much loss. Dr.. BrSsELL took the con-
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1886-02-05

tract for so, whereas his predecessor got
s75, and this year said be could not do it
for less than 800. OF course DR.. BHGELL
must lose, if his predecessor is correct in
his statement, and the sick poor are as
numerous this year as last, unless drugs
I cheaper. Here would be q temptation
for men to Rdulterste their drugs and loss
Of life might be the result
Also, at times when there is no 1uctus'
ton in the price OF drugs there may be q
great deal more sickness than the druggists
anticipated, and so many prescriptions
may come in hat in order to q v them
selves from loss they viii close their eyes to
the responsibility that rests upon them
and adultsrate their drugs.
Of course such things would not occur
often, and would never occur If all men
we're perfectly honest. But that everybody
knows isn't so. And, when human life Is
at stake no incentives to sdulterstion
should be held out. We should have no
contract system.
THERE'S another thing. The patients in
need of medicine may live quite q distance
from the druggist who has the contract.
They may be in need of drugs immediate
" or may be greatly Inconvenience BY
going such a distance. There may be q
drug store next door to them, Would ii
not be much better for the patient and the
physician if they were permitted to get ths
drugs st the most convenient placer
1t would certainly be q great deal safel
and better for the physician to fill out hi
prescriptions for the drug store most con
veniet for his patients. The county coulC
pay the regular market price for the drugs
or to make matters more definite coulc
allow the druggists a certain per cent. up
on the wholesale price of drugs. Thi'
would perhaps cost more, but it would b
convenient, it would insure the poor enough
for their needs and would hold out no in
| centiYs to sdulterstiou.
