EDITORS differ about the names and
qualities of things just like other per-
sons. Thus, while the heat and rain
and excessive moisture existed last
week the New York Sun referred to it
editorially as period of excessive
humidity. The Middletown transcript
took the Sun up for using the latter
word, Editor 4Tiflin saying, he did not
call it humidity" at all, he called it
heat. The editor of the New York
Tribune, unmindful of the dictum of
the Transcript, goes still further and
personifes the thing in dispute as
follows:
HEAT AND HUMIDITY.
"The Tribune desires to make a
formal record of the fact Of the arrival
of old General Humidity for the sum
mer. When he got here, two or three
days ago It was at first thought that
perhaps he had simply come to pay a
! Short preparatory visit, but it begins
to look as if he had come for his regu-
lar stay. Hereafter he will be the
rule rather than the exception. Any
one now referring to the season a'
"spring" argues himself far in the real
of the times-it is summer, pure anC
unadulterated, and we are enjoying
humidity.

Supreme Court.
ouAcks MUST LEAVE THE STATE.
An Obstrepcrous Prisoner Creates n
Sensation In Des Moines
Conrt Room m-Devastat-
ing Prairie Fires.


DEs MONIES. Ia, Oct THE supreme
court this morning filed a very important de-
cison, sustaining in the most sweeping man
mer what is known as the medical law of the
last general assembly. That law forbids any
one from practcing medicine without having
first received q certificate from the board of
medical examiners. The case was that of
the State of Iowa VS. Sidney Mosher, appel
liant, from the Cherokee district court.
Mosher is a travelling physician who CLAIMED
the right to practice medicine in the state
without certificate from the state board OF
medical examiners. He was tried before n
Justice of the peace and convicted. On ap-
peal to the district court there was another
conviction, and Mosher appealed.
The supreme court holds that the state
board of examiners have right to compel
wouldbe physicians to conform to their tests
of examination before being admitted to
practice. As Moshcr did not satisfactorily
meet the tests the lower court did right in
convicting him. This is the first decision of
the supreme court bearing directly upon this
law. Many opponents of the law have
claimed that IL was unconstitutional, but the
supreme court practically aCirms its consti-
tutIonality.
Other decisions rendered to-day were the
following:
Esch Bros, appellants, vs.. Home Insur-
ance Company of New York; Jones district;
reversed.
j. w. Hinesley, appellant. VS.. Mahaska
county; MahRska district; affirmed.
The county of Adams VS. f. III. Hunter
and others. appellants; Adams district; af-
trmed. Hunter is the late chairman OF the
democratic state central committee ana was
charged with rlisappropriating funds while
county treasurer of Adams county. The
amount of the Judgment against him, which
the supreme court affirms. is S4, 353.3O.

POLICE AND FIRE COMMISSION
MIR. Gilbert Questions the Mayors

MIR. Gilbert Questions the Mayors
Right TO Change Saloon Licenses.
The only matter of Importance ut the meet
ing of the board of fire and police commits
sioners last night was the protest of Com
missioner Gilbert against the action of the
mayor.
The case was this Ed Miller is the appar-
ent owner Of n saloon which for q long time
has been located at Twelfth and Dodge
streets. While Miller's name was on the
doorplate and the big sign bore his patro-
nymic, Storz & Her were the parties to whom
the license was issued.
Recently Miller decided to change his
location, and with that purpose in view
rented a brick on Twelfth and Douglas.
StorZ & Her asked permission of the mayor
to change the location which was agreed to.
and the bar fixtures and fighting dogs were
transferred AS matter of course the per-
mission of the board had to be obtained, and
notice was sent them. When the matter
came up last night Mr.. Gilbert inquired if
the saloon had been removed, and on being
informed that it had, asked by whose
by the mayors, he asserted that
such action required the consent of the full
board and that the saloon was liable TO be
closed at any time.
1.-The mayor" said Mr.. Gilbert, "has no
right TO grant any such permission, and
move that this matter GO over Tor one
week -
The motion carried and Billy Hawley
was granted permission to run his saloon in
the next block in order to avoid being
crushed by an unsafe building.
The case of Officer Wizard charged with
being unnecessarily absent from his beat,
was taken up. MIR. Gilbert insisted on the
record being changed SO as TO read that the
officer was off the street TOO long, which
carried and Wizard went home happy.
Jens Jensen, who wanted pay for horse
valued at SlI5. which was killed by hose
cart No. 3, had his claim denied, and then
Fred Evans and Officer Mcltobbins We're
granted ten days leave.
The board then went into executive session
and appointed Constable Al Masterman,
Joseph Graham, Il. II. Dillon and M. Drum
ing policemen and adjourned
