Medical and Surgical Health Institute

is the name of a recently born mon
strosity in Kansas City. This sO-called
Medical and Surgical Institute IS now
about two months old. 1t Is now
Young. but, as a fraud and a snare, 1t
certainly discounts anything OF the kind
in this city. For genuine cheek and
bare faced rascality, the men who claim
to be in charge are entitled to the cake,
bakery. and the greater part of last
years wheat crop.
During the very short time these men
have been here they have been making
a bold effort to obtain money from the
afflicted by fraud and false representa-
tons. We have received information
from various sources regarding these
practices.
The man who presumes to represent
the brains of the concern is one IL. A.
Eberle. NJ. D., who tried for several
wears to make living in the regular
profession. but not succeeding satisfact-
oriIy to himself, it is said that he became
slightly crooked. Charges of gross
w Unprofessionalc conduct were preferred
against him and sustained. and he
was therefore debarred from the medl-
cal societies.
The advertising sheet that this firm
of Buckley 81 Eberle has scattered over
the country is simply repetition OF
the stereOtyped plan Of representing by
wood-cuts the defOrmity apparatus for
all manner of ailmentS-''th before
and after treatment. 1t is, however,
more of d drag-net concern than any we
have ever seen According to the an
nOuncement this institution Is VERT
able cure-all. The duped patients
rounded up by Buckley and brought to
the city must feel disappointed when
they arrive and find, instead Of the
mammoth health institute represented,
nothing but an 8X10 room on the second
floor of a building on the corner OF
Ninth and Main streets, occupied by
the renowned II. a. Eberle.
The above taken from 1.-The Kansas
City Medical Record" shows con-
clusively that II. y. Eberle, N. d. is a
fraud, and that the REFLECTOR IS
justified in showing him and his institu-
ton up in their true light. Reader let
your motto be, Il pass" to all travelling
quacks. 1t may be that the DR.. will
visit Abilene again, if he does, let every
reader of this article govern themselves
by the above facts. Will the Gazette
have the courage to also expose this
humbug of an institution, we fear
not, for ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain give us the Gazette.

Hog Cholera.
J. Z. LOCKWOOD,
G.. Z. q Il. a Kansas City.

DR.. HOlcOmb, our State Veterinarian,
proposes the following section in an act
for the prevention Of swine against the
diseases known as hog cholera:
Be iS enacted by the Legislature OF the State Of
Kansas.
sec. ). On and after september 1st, 1886, it
shall be the duty OF the Sanitary commission TO
destroy without delay all swine found within the
state which are afflicted with, or which have
been exposed TO what is known Rs hog cholera,
and TO enforce such measures of distinction and
quarantine as shall ehectually prevent the spread
OF the disease and no owner or owners Of swine
Killed under the provisions or this act snail be
entitled to compensation therefor A clause in
section 4 provides that any person having in his
possession swine known or believed to be infect
ed and does not report tc the sanitary commits
sion shall be fined not less than Sl0O-or more
than $500.
Now. Kansas farmers, if Mr.. HOl-
comb act becomes a law some of you
will haze to swallow bitter pill In
the first place you are liable to a fine of
from 500 to S509 if you should not re-
port TO the Sanitary Commission should
some of your hogs be ailing with symp-
toms like hog cholera. In the next
place should you report and the Com
mission pronounce hog cholera on your
premises, your whole herd will be
slaughtered Unfortunately right be-
fore your eyes and you shall not get
sone cent of comp9Dsation therefor.
''Where shall justice be f0und?n If
there is any justice it is not in MI HOl-
combs proposed law. If aherd of hogs
has been exposed to a cOntagiOn and
the larger proportion dies. yet they do
not all die nor even get diseased at all.
There is generally enough that comes
out all right to pay part of ones taxes
and few for the pork barrel, besides
some SoWs to raise more pigs from. If
one persons entire herd OF swine is to
beslaughtered indiScriminateiy. healthy
and sick alike out of common juStiss
let him get enough money for them to
pay his taxes. Ours must certainly he
liberal government to make a man
pay taxes Tor animals and then kill them
for him for nothing. If our state en-
acts law to eXterminate a farmers
whole herd of hogs should some OF them
be diseased, appraisers should be sworn
in to value the property and the unfor-
tunate owner should be paid at least
one-haif the value of his hogs so slaugh-
tered. Planners of Dickinson County

Sam Jones.

EDITORS REFLECTOR-I send you an
extract fE0r1 one of Sam Jones' sermons
preached in Chicago. Some of Sans
hits are unexpected and very acute:
The most disgusting sight I have seen
is to see poor little old preacher be-
tween the shafts of a wagon and all his
church on the wagon, and some eursing,
some dancing, some playing cards, and
some joining baseball clubs and others
at the rink. All the whole congrega-
ton up on the wagon, while the poor
little preacher is between the shafts
with his tongue lolling out as he hauls
them along. This is the most disgust
ing sight in the world, and you can see
thas sight in Chicago every day in the
year. Let lie get out of that wagon
and go and help the preacher hitch
up and let him drive yourselves for
awhile, 1t is much easier for 500 peo-
pie to haul one preacher than for one
preacher to pull 500 people, and then
you sit in the wagon and now and then
one of you says, ''Start him up" and |
you feed him on wheat straw and ex-
pect him to make $40 time on wheat |
straw, and there is no force in the uni
verse that will do it.

There is but one thing we know
about farming in Kansas and we have
learned that by twenty years expert
ence and Overwhelmingly obserya-
ton. The early farmer in Kansas is
the one that raises the crops. Farmers
coming from the east govern their
farming by the experience gained there,
and hold back from putting their crops
in the ground to avoid the spring rains
and late froSts. a Kansas spring is
Just the opposite. There are no cold
rains and late froStS. Corn comes up
with the grass. The first day that the
pillow can be started is ought to be put
into the work, the ground prepared and
the seed planted; but little rain viii

choice seems TO lie between Chancellor
Harrison, ii. II. Markham, OF Los

gresham is generally accepted as a
quite possible candidate, as witness
the following from the last issue OF

1t is said that Hon. II. il. Mark

Sixth District in Congress, is looming
up very prominently for Governor,

method in their demand. Should
Markham be successful, the State
would have NEST excellent magis-

New YORK. May l0.-The Times says;
1.-THE second volume OF Grants autobi.
ography, which is given to the public
this morning, takes up the thread Of
the story where the first volume had
dropped it ia the middle Of October,
when he was on his way to take charge
of operations at Chattanooga, in place Of
General Rosecrans. Although concerned
with events in its authors career far
more familiar than those recorded in the
first, the second volume will not be
found less interesting, and indeed the
change OF scene from west to east with
new opponents and new subordinates to
discuss, proves safeguard against reps-
titions. The memoirs at the outset ter.
inmate abruptly with the end Of the
war, the concluding chapter making al
usions to the last twenty years OF
Grants public career.
The Herald says: 1.-THE second vol
ume of Grants Memoirs" is far more in-
leresting than its predecessor. 1t has
to do with greater men, greater events
and greater results. The fear sometimes
expressed that the old hero's physical
condition, during the first stage OF his
literary work, would be reflected by his
pages, proved to be groundless. The
narrative is admirably clear, direct and
connected.

WAsuINGToS, d. c., May l0.-The
Supreme Court has reversed the judg-
ment OF the United States Circuit Court
for California and the Supreme Court Of
California in the cases of Wo Lee VS..
the Sheriff of San Francisco, and Gle
Wo vs.. the same, known as the Chinese
Laundry cases. The Supreme Court
affirmed the judgment Of the California
courts in the California Railroad Tax
cases. Justice Field concurred in a sep
arate opinion.
WAsnINGToN, May l0.-The Supreme
Court, in deciding the cases, says the
plaintiffs were convicted under the ordi-
nance of the city and county OF San
Francisco prohibiting the carrying on OF
a laundry IN frame building, and SEN
fenced to prison, holds the ordinance to
be discrimination against the Chinese.
1t is therefore illegal and in violation OF
