possibility of quarantining cases of the
disease in their various scattered localities.
publishes the following directions and sug-
gestions for the guidance of families in
which the disease may appear.
From the reports of the physicians it
appears that there have been over one
hundred'cases in Honolulu; but the cases
treated are very light, and by carefully OBJ
serving the directions herewith given. no
danger is to be anticipated.

nutritious, such as poi, bread, milk, well
cooked rice, and plain soups Water OF

to draughts and currents of air; but do mo-
stitie the patient in an unventiIated room
nor overhead him with too much clothing
i. To preserve cleanliness and comfort
warm sponge bath may be used once ;
day which should be taken in the hous,
and should always be followed by tn,
careful use of the towel and recovering tn,
body with dry clothing. But bathing il
cold water and bathing in the open air, i
to be positively abstained from.

The old fashioned judge hf d a way of de-
Gliding cases according to what seemed to him
to be equity and common sense, rather thar
according to law A peaceable and pious
citizen of Derby, Conn, missed corn from
his crib at various times, and finally became
suspicious of one of his neighbors, a Mr.
R. He entered complaint accordingly,
and the suspected man was brought before
Judge Hotchkiss, who, as usual, called in an
assistant to lend dignity to the court.
The evidence showed nothing more than
that the corn had been taken, and that the
accused was man of not very good repuua-
ton for honesty. The defendant protested
his innocence, and the judges assistant ga =
it as his opinion that the evidence was not
sufficient to convict
The Judge himself was not little taken
aback by such an opinion, but he quickly re-
covered himself and forthwith rendered his
decision.
The owner Of the corn, he affirmed, was a
very worthy citizen; the law was bound to
protect him; there was no doubt that his
corn had been stolen, and Mr. R. was the
only thief in town; he must, therefore, have
stolen the corn, and the constable was &C
cordingly directed to take him to the nearest
post and inflict lone dozen on his bare back,
well laid on
1t Is some satisfaction to know that the
punishment was not undeserved, as the cul-
prit shortly afterwards confessed.-You IS
Companion.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE DECISION.
The Iowa Grain-Shippers Win a Case
Against the Northwestern Railway.

WASHINGTON CITY, March 23.-The inter
state commerce commission, by Commission
er Morrison, rendered its decision yesterday
in the case of thu Northwestern Iowa Grain
and Stock Shippers association against the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad COM
pany. 1t states that "a railroad company
making different rates for the same distances
on different branches of its road must Justify
them by showing that there is a difference in
the cost of carrying on the different
branches. The company, by long maintain
ing a rate without the presence of COMPETE
ton on other than equal terms, makes or
gives evidence that such rat- is not
too low. A company which has two
routes between points cannot lawfully charge
more for shorter than longer distance on
either. A road can carry freight from points
on its main line cheaper than another road
can carry over a branch road with separate
equipment to and over its main line, and
where one of such branch lines must carry in
competition with another road from its main
line stations, the rate on that branch estab-
fishes no criterion for the branches not so
situated
"The company gave special rates to corn
shippers in Nebraska to points in Illinois, by
means of which the corn reached the sea
board at low through rates. When the com
pany denies. as il did, such special advantages
TO corn shippers in Iowa it gave unlawful
preference to Nebraska SINNERS

Tried to Rob the Postmaster Genernl

PHILADELPHIA, March 23-J. F. Allen, a
young man with several aliases, and his
pretty 10 year old wife Sadie, who were ar
rested Wednesday by Detective George
Smith, of Wanamaker's store had a hearing
Thursday before Magistrate Poole on the
charge of having defrauded Mr.. Wanamaker
out OF clothing worth ss5. Harry Shuman,
employed at the store, testified how he deliv
cred the clothing at the Girard house, and
the defendant gave him the slip. Sadie said
that Allen had forced her to do as she did by

THE PHARMACY LAW.
Interest OF Druggists i'm a Movement
TO Repeal a Portion or All or the
Present kfatute Provisions.

Present statute Provisions.
During the recent session of the state
board of pharmacy in this city, the
ARGUS spoke OF an attempt that was be-
ing made to have sections of the law re-
pesled. or else greatly modified and the
satisfaction expressed by Secretary Day,
at the large attendance of applicants for
certificates at the meeting in Rock Island,
which he regarded as strong evidence of
the belief, by the drug clerks of the state
in the stability of the law. Yet there has
been considerable interest excited among
the druggists of the state by certain sec
tions of the present law. The chief cause
of complaint has been the provision of
the law making it a Unable offense for a
druggist to leave his store in charge of
anybody but a fully registered phar-
macist, The feeli ng has been so strong
that 1t has about Occasioned the repeal
OF the entire law. This would leave
thingsin bad shape and to avoid such a
contingency, or at least take steps in
that direction. circulars have been sent
out by the pharmaceutical committee at
Springfield to druggists and drug clerks
throughout the state asking for opinions
upon the law, what clauses they would
suggest amended, etc. A number of
the drug clerks of Rock Island have an-
swered individually. The Peoria drug
gists the other day held mass meeting
and adopted the following memorial to
the senate and house of representatives
of the thirty-sixth general assembly:
Resol0ed. That we very much deplore
the idea of q repeal of the present phar-
macy law as a movement against the
public good and that of accurate dspen-
sing as desired by every physician and
pharmacist.
ResoLced, That we heartily endorse the
amendatory bill known as the Baker.
Bacon amendment to the pharmacy act,
believing that the law so modified would
prove highly satisfactory and remove all
just cause for complaint.
Resolued, That copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to our senator and represen-
tative, and that they are requested to give
the above mentioned amendment all the
support in their power; also that a copy
be sent to the Western Druggist for pub
LEGATION.
In addition to the changes enumerated
in the call, the proposed law. endorsed
as above stated, places the power of ap-
pointment of committee in the governor
and reduces their term from five to three
years. The minors certificate spoken of
provides that a young man over eighteen
who has been in the business two years or
more may be left in charge of q drug
store, and not subject the owner to fine
of $50 as under the present law.
This will be quite relief. especially to
dealers in small places whose business
will not justify them in hiring full
fiedged pharmacist.

Honesty and Intelligence.
1t pays TO be honest, you say.
Granted

1t pays to be honest, you say.
Granted.
Yet how many are dishonest through
Ignorance. expediency or Intentionally
One can be dishonest and yet say moth
ing.
A clerk who lets customer buy a
damaged piece of goods, a witness who
holds back the ruth which would clear a
prisoner. medical practitioner who
takes his patients money when he knows
he is doing him no good-sll are culpably
dishonest.
Speaking of the dishonesty of medical
men reminds us that only the past week
there has come under our personal OBJ
servatiop form of dishonesty which is
almost too mean for narration.
1t is generally known that doctors
bind themselves by &C les, resolutions and
oaths not to use any advertised medi
| cines. Now, there is a medicine on the
market which, for the past ten years, has
accomplished d marvellous amount of
good IN the cure of kidney and liver dis
eases, and diseases arising from the de-
/ rangenen of these great organs-we re-
fer TO Warmers Safe Cure. SO wide>
spread are the merits of this medicine
that the majority of the doctors of this
country know from actual evidence that
it will cure advanced kidney disease,
which is but another name for Bright
| disease.
The medical profession have put Them
selves on record as admitting that there
is no cure for his terrible malady, yet
there are physicians base enough and
dishonest enough to procure Warner
Safe Cure in surreptitious manner, put
the same into plain, four-ounce vials,
and charge their patients 81. 90 per vial,
when sixtee1-Ounce bottle of the
remedy, in its original package, can be
bought at any drug store in the world for
81 %.
Perhaps the doctor argues that the
cure OF the patient justifies his dis
| honesty, yet he will boldly stand up at
the next county medical meeting and de
nouDce Warmers Safe Cure as a patent
medicine, and one which he cannot and
will not use.
| The fact is that the people are waking
up to the truth that the medical profess
sion is far from honest. and that it does
not possess monopoly of wisdom in the
curing OF disease. doctoring the many
symptoms of kidney disease, instead OF
striking at the seat of disease-the. kid.
neys themselves-allowing patients tc
die rather than use remedy known to be
a specific, simply because il has been ad.
vertised. and when patients are dead
from advanced kidney disease, still prac-
ticing deception by giving the cause OF
death in their certificate as pneumonia,
dropsy, heart disease. or some other ac-
companyipg effect of Bright's disease.
All this is priIna fscia evidence of in
competency, bigotry and dishonesty.
We speak but the truth when we say
that Messrs. 81. II. Warner & Co. have
done a most hianthropic work for the
past ten years In educating the people up
to the knowledge they now enjoy, espec
tally of maladies growing out of diseases
OF the kidneys and liver. and are deserv-
| ing of all praise for their honesty and
straightforwardne cas- in exposing shams
and dishonesty of all kinds.
