Camp Yellowstone,

CAMP YELLOW STONE, July 20
The refreshing shower of this morn
ing made everything around Camp
Yellowstone more comfortable and
pleasant. The bows were aroused bv
the music of the flies from the fish
box. Jack Martin struck camp last
night and insisted on making a dive
for fish. and much to the surprise OF
all. succeeded in landing 6-pound
channel cat. Fifteen minutes later.
States Attorney Searle might have
been seen up to his neck in the mid
die OF the river trying to catch a fish
something he had never done before,
and suddenly he let n yell land the boys
ran. for we all thought he was
drowning. and he hallowed: "Bovs,
l am safe. but I have caught a fish,
and he was rs happy as 5-year-old
boy with first pair of boots
Dick Colemere. who runs Camp Ok
lahoma, has been Indispensable to us.
A good share of the pleasure we have
had since we came, is due to him.
He, with his good wife and daugh-
tiers, have made it it very.pleasant for
the boys. May his shadow never be
any less.
Young Lou Eckhart has established
Camp Epheus close to us, and is very
neighborly. He was out last even
ing with the Ullemeyer boys and
mandolin club, and the day was
closed by them, and song by Zee
Mahon and the Jap.

II is stated that the Rock Island
has secured the government contract
for the carrying of the fast mail from
Chicago TO Council Bluffs. This may
he untrue, as the c., Il. & Q. holds
that contract, and there is still a
good deal of unexpired time on it.
No other road has had chance at it,
and no other road will have such a
chance til! the expiration Of that con-
tract draws near, unless there is
something extraordinary in the air.
For the present the Rock Island fast
mail will probably continue to run to
Des Moines rs now.

The happy intelligence comes to
the many friends of j. j. Sullivan,
the former well known c., Il. & @.
conductor, that he is gradually but
surely rising in the ranks of the rail-
road men OF the country. A recent
circular issued by the officials of the
Fort Worth IL Denver City railway
announces the promotion of Mr.. Sui
livan to the post of assistant super
intcndent, with headquarters at
Wichita Falls, Texas. Sullivan is an
Unborn railroad man. faithful and en-
crgetic, and we predict that he will
vet make reputation in the railway

MEDICOS MEET.
Annual Meeting Of the Iowa and

A VERY INTERESTING GATHERING.

The regular annual meeting of the
Iowa and Illinois Central district
Medical society was held at Schutzen
park, Davenport, yesterday. COM

on The Treatment OF Uterine Tu-
mors by Electricity" and was finely
illustrated. DR.. c. NJ. Robertson, of
Davenport, had paper on ..Catarrh-
al Inflammation OF the Middle Ear"
The Patient Present.
That OF DIR. j. Il. Hollowbush, of
Rock Island, on Fracture of the
Skull and Brain Lessons was par
ticularly interesting, from the TACT
that 1t referred to an operation on a
boy, and the boy himself was pres
ent To show its success. The boy
had been struck in the head by an en-
CINE and the skull fractured, pieces
of the bone being imbedded in the
brain. These were removed. About
teaspoonfuf of brain substance had
also oozed out. Notwithstanding
these circumstances, the boy had
apparently completely recovered
without any evil effects showing
themselves. IL was not heretofore
unknown operation and recovery, but
so unusual rs to have very great
interest to the assembled members of
the profession.
The Feast.
The feast was by no means an I'M
important feature and received the
most devoted attention from a prac-
teal, professional, scientific and
social standpoint. Indeed the Dem
ocrat says of il: 1t is worthy of
note that the doctors have appetites
and appropriations very like those the
rest of us are blest with. The road
to most mems affections lies largely
through their Stomachs. and so it is
with them in common with the rest
OF the human family. In proof of
this is cited the fact by one Of their
number that some time ago, when
the meetings of this association were
simply for the transaction OF bust
ness and the discussion of papers.
there was apt to be meager attend
ance, and the treasury was always
empty. Now, since banquets have
| been the rule for some time, there is
always good attendance-every
doctor who can get away from his
work is on hand-and there is over
| 800 in the cash box

The Rock Island PAGER Distinguishes Him.
self n. Detroit
The Rock Island PAGER, Bullmont,
distinguished himself at Detroit YES
terday. The Tribune in speaking of
the race in which he participated,
says:
The battle between the 2:15 PAGERS
lasted for six heats, and the race
went to the outsider, Bullmont. In
the early pools Simmons and Ed
Easton carried most of the money,
the former securing the first heat
quite cleverly in 2:lii. He went to
pieces early in the second heat. and
Bullmont was not headed in 2:l3I
Ed Easton had been laid up in these
miles. but when Geers cut loose and
made one of his whirlwind finishes he
only succeeded in making Bullmont
so in 2:134, the Buffalo colt n neck

In the fourth heat Ed Easton was
more successful, as he overhauled
Bullmont earlier and finished in 2:l23

who had been struggling with Bull
mont most OF the way, fell on the
track Just after he was past the dis
tance pole, but was got up and led to
his stall after a few minutes suffer-
ing from exhaustion. After another
desperate finish S. Il. had Just
enough margin to get the fifth heat
from Ed Easton. and then both fell
easy victims for Bullmont. who won
the race away off in the sixth heat.
The race was the 2:l5 pacing class

The men engaged in the coal and iron
industries of the South understand very
clearly the effect the passage of the Will
son bill will have upon their interests.
Some of these have given their views to
a staff correspondent of the Louisville.
KY, Commercial, who has been detailed
to make tour through the districts
that will be most affected by it. At
Birmingham, Alabama, the correspond
emit met some of the leading iron mas
tiers, among them Mr.. T. L. Hillman, the
builder of the first blast furnace in that
city, whose father and grandfather made
iron in the South long before the war.
Mr.. Hilman is Democrat, but a straight
out protectionist, who would put a
prohibitory tariff on all things that can
be produced in this country" He said
the Wilson bill will not prevent South
ern furnaces from resuming operations,
for they. were only waiting for labor to
accept the reduced wages, that the bill
would necessitate. Wages to coal miners
would have to be reduced fifty per cent,
and to ore miners forty, per cent. South
ern iron men cannot compete with the
East and with foreign cheap iron, free
ore and free coal, at the prices they have
been paying for labor. Mr.. T. H. Aldrich,
general manager of the Tennessee Coal
andssIron Company, was opposed to the
b.ll, because sit is too abrupt, too vlo-
lent" The South was willing to bear It's
share of the results of some experiment
ing, but the Wilson bill "deprives it OF
all protection on everything that it has
to depend on" Mr.. H. 7. Beggs, formerly
of Virginia, operates an iron foundry
and machine shop. During the war he
made cannon for the Confederacy. He
wished duty ON iron ore and coal to
protect the Alabama iron industry and
American labor. His experience was
that the higher wages were, the more
profit the manufacturer makes. There
are, he thinks, too many professional
men in Congress, and too few practical
men. Several others expressed similar
views, and they represent the almost uni
versa1 opinion of the coal and iron
men of the South.

The Wilson bill, income tax and all,
passed the House yesterday as was fore
seen. The closing of the debate on the
Republican side was accorded to Mr..
Reed, and his speech appears in another
column. 1t is a speech that everybody
should read. It discusses the tariff ques-
ton on broad lines, exposes many of the
fallacies of the free traders, and shows
clearly the absurdity Of the policy of
opening our own great market to the
world in the delusive hope that we may
gain elsewhere the market that we lose
at home. 1t is one of Mr.. Reeds best
speeches, simple in statement, strong in
argument, clear and convincing.
But logic, however forcible, facts how
ever significant, were of course power
less to have any effect upon the tate of
the Wilson bill. Though styled an econo-
mic measure it became after it's intro
duction into the House political meas
ure 1t is not pretended anywhere that
it is satisfactory to even majority of
the Democrats who voted for it. To
some of them it was distasteful because
it didn't go far enough in the direction
of free trade, to others it was equally
distasteful because it went too far. Some
of them regarded the income tax attach
ment as one of its chief merits, while
others regarded it as a milestone hanged
about the neck of the Democratic party
that will, if it be not removed, drown it,
Yet nearly all the Democratic represen
tatives voted for it, because 1t bore The
stamp of the Democratic committee OF
Ways and Means. Politics rather thar
It's own merits have pushed it through
the House.
The Portland daily press., 1894-02-02

The Wilson bill now goes to the Sem
ate where the margin of Democratic
votes is much narrower than in the
House, and where administration infiu-
ence is much weaker. Its fate in this
body is of course somewhat uncertain,
but there is hardly a possibility of it's
passage in it's present form. Indeed,
many Democratic members Of the House
counted on its defeat or essential modifi-
cation in the Senate. and permitted their
votes to be recorded in its favor for that
reason. The changes most probable IN
the Senate are the restoration of coal
and iron to the dutiable list. duty on
sugar and the elimination of the income
tax.
