A st. Louis physician, connected with the
city hospital, has been expelled by the med
ical society of that city for violating 1.-The
CODE in furnishing news to the press. If
that rule were enforced everywhere med
ical societies would lose great many MEM
bers and if it should be extended to all
physicians who seek and obtain free notices
from the press there would be still more
expulsions. The press is often indebted to
members of the medical profession for news
and no one should blame them for desiring
the publicity which pertains to such service,
but it is absurd for medical societies to
expel members who do this when every one
of them would do it if they could.

The resolution introduced by Mr.. Van

facts which such an investigation would

certain whether the great crime was
committed of mutilating an act of the

cover the perpetrator or perpetrators and
bring him or them TO punishment. If

The bill introduced by Senator Watson
providing that a second conviction of
felony shall subject person to double
the penalty for asfirst conviction, and a
third conviction to life Imprisonment, is
based on sound principle. A second con-

no effort at reform, and third convic-
ton shows that he is irreclaimable, and
for the protection of society should be
imprisoned for life. Some of the ada

suit is that habitual criminals give them

VIII he a Special Train.

Governor Matthews opened negotiations
yesterday with Superintendent McDoel, of
the Monon road, for a special train to
leave Chicago early Thursday morning with
the body and family of Minister Gray for
this city. This was done owing to the
failure of the late train from Chicago to
make connections with the Santa Fe train
1t is expected that the body will arrive about
of the Statehouse, where 1t will be guarded
by detachments of militia from the Second
Regiment until morning. A special train
will leave for Union City about O'clock
Friday morning. A meeting of the com
mittee will occur at the Statehouse this
afternoon. Custodian Griffin began yes
terday to drape the naves of the State
house with flags. A minister's salute of
seventeen guns is to be fired as the train
enters the city.
