DIR. EDWARD b. FoorE as rep.
resentativc of Eclectic Medicine, as
n writer of popular medical literature,
and as physician stands prominent,
and is, perhaps, throughout The world
better known by his writings than
any other medical writer who has iii.
rected his teachings to the people
rather than the profession. Born and
raised among Connecticut settlers,
on the "Western Reserve" in Ohio, he
early began the work of many self.
made men. Starting at the age of six
teen as"printers dewitt newspaper
Office, he worked his way to- the edit
orial chair, and was severally con-
nected with the most prosperous
weekly, Of its time, in Connecticut,
and the first successful morning pa
per of Brooklyn, n. Y, but his main
impulse had always been towards the
study of medicine, and to this end
business enterprises were sacrificed
until in apprenticeship with a noted

study finishing with graduation,
found him prepared to follow out the
bent Of his life to its completion. lie
was among the earliest of those who
advocated the publication of anatom-
ical, physiological and hygienic books
for the masses, and his success in
writing interesting and popular books
has been conspicuous. His FIRST and
best known book, entitled Medical
Common Sense" reached circulation
of 100000 copies, probably because
of its originality and novelty in
new field ald his subsequent wri.
tings have been mainly in the same
line, Science in Story" having been
written for the purpose Of providing
a readable book for children, and one
which should make plain TO their
comprehension the facts which he
considered it necessary for them to
know concerning their own bodies.
In speaking of the late Prof j. S.
Smith, of Oxford, London, Nature
remarks: at has been said that in
scientific thought, the best and most
original ideas have always been con
ceived before the age Of thirty"
This is probably true, also. Of the
original Of this portrait His most
radical thoughts were published in
his first work, written before he was
twent nine years Of age, and though
his pen is never long idle, his first
success has not yet been equalled by
subsequent work, though his "Plain
Home Talk" a revision and enlarge
meut OF "Medical Common Sense"
seems likely in time to obtain n cir
culation rvalliDg that Of its prede.
cessor.
In practice DIR. FooTE has always
been independent, progressive and
original, always a foe Of old.fogyism
and trade.unionism in medicine once
q disciple Of the old Thompsonian

eral and blood.letting practice, and
now a staunch supporter Of Electi'
cism in all that the name implies.
He has been actively engaged in the
practice Of his profession for thirty
years, and as the portrait given here
with is from n recent photograph
hard work appears to agree with him
and he looks equal to twenty years
more Of IL.

Clean the streets.

Local stock men are urging upon
the citizens the necessity Of having
the streets cleaned up and put in good
order before The visiting stock men
arrive. The streets are In q bad con-
dition and stock owners of Miles City
who will entertain those who will at
tend the convention here wish to have
things about town looking as neat and
tidy as possible. Business men, in
front of whose stores the walks are
poor and the roads dirty, will. NO
doubt, make some effort to put things
ship shape before April 10Th. To have
everything looking clean would be q
big advertisement for the city. as the
appearance IF a place Is always sub
ject of discussion on the return home
of visitors. A committee appointed to
visit business men to urge upon them
the necessity Of making the desired
improvements about their respective
places would undoubtedly result adj
vantageously. But before the COM
mittee on improvements is appointed
the different firms could show their
enterprise by busting before asked to.
This matter is one that should be at
tended TO 30 that visitors to Miles
City will be impressed with the
sweetness of the little but growing
town.

Capt. Harmon Wins.

Capt. Harmon yesterday received
word from Judge Flandran, Of st.
Paul, that the supreme court Of the
state of Iowa had decided case
In his favor which involved S40,-
600. The case 10 all old one, having
been in the courts for the past ten
years. The origin Of the case was the
building of the post at Fort Keogh. A
Mr.. Peck, of Keokuk, Iowa, was
awarded the contract by the govern.
ment to build the post, and he having
no friends to carry on the work. Capt
Harmon supplied what money was
needed. When he gave Mr.. Peck the
money! Capt. Harmon entered into
partnership with him, BY written
contract and sgreeLient. For some
reason or other the government re-
fused to pay for the work, and Peck
being bankrupt, his creditors were
trying to get hold Of the money. Mr..
Harmon then brought suit against the
government In Mr.. Peck's name, and
the United States court decided in his
favor. The money was then deposited
In the savings bank at Des Moines,
Iowa. but before he could get at it, he
had to defeat Peck's creditors. The
bank In which the money was depos'
tied gave bonds in the amount depos'
tied with it aud the case was put In
the courts. 1t has been brought uI
many times for hearing. but no def
mite decision was rendered until this
last one. and of which Mr.. Harmon
received notice yesterday. The S4O,'
900 is in the bank now at Des Moines
and is Mr.. Harmon's any time he asks
for 1t. Mr.. Peck died five years ago.

All Bets Declared OFT.

1t was in the pauses Of the lottery
drawing. Stocks were down and he
had been losing at poker. He began
looking around to see what he could
gamble on, and after dinner, when
his wife had left the table and retired,
one of his friends by casual remark
threw an entirely new idea into his
head.
"I'll bet it's GIRL" said he.
That started 1t, and before the even
ing was over the young husband had
made book on the baby. The time
approached, and one evening late
there was an unusual commotion.
The telephone bell kept going for an
hour or two very lively; a professional
looking gentleman and professional
looking old woman were among those
who responded to the messages. The
last call brought messenger boy.
Take that down to the - club"
said the father.
The note was opened there. 1t read
very simply: "All bets of. Twins"
He says that babies are as uncertain
things to gamble on as cards.-San

April Fools Day.

April comes once year. The first

and have been recorded. Then again;
when In dining room where q hun.

sent in for apple dumping, which is
brought out, the dumpling being
smeared with the finest Of cream

with watering mouth takes up knife
and fork to lay waste, discovers that
the dumping is cotton baton, the
hundred people who are watching
with suppressed mirth should not

a prominent stock man yesterday,
that came In from the range with
one Of my boys. An hour or two
after our arrival We went down to .

My boy was not Of quarrelsome
nature at all, but he did just love TO
inspire the tenderfoot. When we
went into the barber shop there were
three waiting for q shave, or some
thing else, and among these was .

nice face II could be seen that he
was splendidly built, with lots of
muscle and as much sand. But my
boy did not recognize either. When
the barber called next this particular
fellow went forward to the chair. He
sat down and when Le had his head
back ready for operation my boy
stepped up"
Pm In hurry said my boy to the
stranger, and you will please vacate
that chair and give place to me. The
young fellow said not q word. He did
not move. The color on his face did
