Mr.. Mott introduced the following res

for the hospitable welcome accorded to
them; to the railroads for their courtesy
in the reduction of fare; to Mrs. H. M.
Barker for her very excellent address on

| The committee on Fourth of July
meeting at Bismarck, reported recon-
mendlng that matter be left to board of
directors
| Some of the gentlemen who subscribed
last night wanted to turn their subscrip-
tions on stock. They were told repeat
edly that it was an irregular proceeding
| that would have to be passed upon by the
| board of directors, but couldn't see it
that way, and wasted half an hour in
improbable discussion. When this dis
cussion finally terminated, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bailey favored the convention with sew

convention adjourned sine die
THINGS DOCTORS DO NOT KNOW.
Their Ignorance Illustrated in the
Robinson Poisoning Cases.
| There was a commotion among the
doctors at recent meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Medico-Legal society, when it
was found that reporters for secular
newspapers were taking notes. Papers
bearing on the notorious Robinson ar
senical poisoning cases had l'een announ-
ced.
DR.. Holt declared that there was gen.
eral ignorance of the symptoms of arsen-
1cal poisoning, and claimed that because
I Of this iguurauce The Robinson poisoning
cases had gone on without arousing srls-
picions on the part of medical men.
! There were, he said, at least eight cases
of criminal poisoning; seven occurred
within five years, and in one family. and
the other was that of relative.
The cases were all treated by physi
clans of large practice, prominent in the.
profession, and yet no suspicion of ar
senical poisoning was aroused until ait
organization in which the victims were
insured tried to determine by investiga-
ton why so many persons died suddenly
in this family.
In support OF his statement as to the
| ignorance of medical men of the symp-
toms of arsenical poisoning, the doctor
remarked that certificates of death were
given in five of the Robinson cases as
follows: pneumonia, typhoid fever men,
ingitis. bowel disease and Bright's dis
ease.
The startling disclosure of the stupid
ignorance shown in the treatment of
those cases is quite in keeping with the
usual ipdiscretion manifested by the pro-
fession in the treatment of persons who
are sufferers from the slow and subtle
poison which is generated in the system
from diseased state of the kidneys.
The afflicted are treated for consump-
ton, apoplexy, for brain and various
nervous disorders, when in most instan-
ces, it is shown, when too late. that the
patient was wrongfnlly and ignorantly
treated for supposed disease which was
in reality, but a symptom of kidney dis
ease, and should have been timely treat
ed as such by the use of Warmers Safe
Cure, which IS the only remedy known
that can he successfully relied on in the
treatment of such disease.
Such exhibitions of stupidity by those
who profess great intelligence in such
matters is calculated to destroy confidence
and 1t can be we'll said that a remedy like
Warmers Safe Cure, which places the di-
rect means OF preserving health in the
sufferers hands. is far more meritorious
than high priced medical advice which
is so generally worthless and too often
based upon an erroneous opinion as to the
true cause of illness.
Human life is just a little too precious
to the average individual to be sacrificed
to the bigotry or ignorance OF others
Capt William McClelland returned
last night from trip of several days into
the counties west Of the James river con-

He visited kidder. Burleigh and portions
of Logan and Stutsman counties driving
from point to point. He found the crops
looking extremely we'll wherever he
went. Wheat is growing rapidly and
plenty Of rain has made the ground wet
to depth of two feet. The captain,
who is unusually observant and who
gathers practical information readily
from the most nnpromising sources,
found men who had made competencies
by comhing stock raising with general
farming. They had good buildings, good
machinery and growing herds OF stock.
They impressed the observer with the
