DOCTORS FAVOR NO FENCE.

The Fence Issue From n sanitary
Standpoint Physicians Express
themselves strongly on the cues
ton.
one OF the best reasons why the people
Of the city should favor the no fence law
Tor Chatham county is that their physi-
clans are strongly in favor Of IL on the
score OF health. The physicians look at
the matter in the light that the extension

polling people 10 fence their cattle. More
drainage means better health for the whole
county. including the city. they say. sew
eral physicians who were seen yesterday
afternoon 10y a Morning News reporter
expressed themselves very strongly on
this line.
Or. William Duncan. who was first seen,
expressed himself as strongly in favor Of
the no fence law Tor the reasons stated
DR.. T. J. Charlton said. "As TO fence or
no fence there can be but one answer. II
Is Imperative that the county should be
drained and the drainage system cannot be
perfected until the cattle are fenced and
kept from breaking down the drains. II
Is necessary in order TO attain the most
ideal sanitary condition that the county
should be drained. We have very little ma
larial fever now. but with perfect drainage
there should be practically none. one fac
tor in the creation Of malaria Is moisture.
Without moisture there can be no malaria.
and the object OF drainage is 20 do away
With moisture as far as possible. As a
county commissioner I am decidedly in
favor of no fence. because 1 believe It will
prove a long step in the material develop
ment of the county, and, as a physician.
am equally in favor Of IL. because I believe
Il will result in great benefit TO the public
health.
DR. NJ. L. Boyd said: II am a no fence
man. It would improve the sanitary con-
dition of the county. Cattle running al
large break down the drains and greatly
interfere with the drainage. Cows rum
ming at la-ge drink of canal and surface
water and produce impure milk"
DIR. ]. u. Martin said: The drainage
would be improved by having the cattle
fenced and improved drainage means bet
ter health for the city and county"
Or. j. G.. FARRELL said: Every county in
the state which has every reputation for
progress has adopted the no fence law
Chatham only Is behind. l am strongly in
favor Of no fence"
Or. W. ". Owens said: Il am in favor
Of no fence, OF course. for the purpose. of
securing improved drainage. Cattle
should be fenced to prevent them from
drinking from the canals and surface
trains. Cattle running at large drink
filthy water as well as break down the
drains"
A number OF other physicians were seen
and gave the same views. One, however,
said he knew nothing and cared nothing
about the subject and another said he was
In favor of fence. Many of those who were
not seen have expressed themselves as
strongly in favor of no fence. There Is no
doubt that the physicians quoted express
the sentiments Of nine-tenths Of the physi-
clans in the city and county.

ALLISON NOT INVITED.

washington, June 4.-Some of Senator
Allison's political friends in this vicinity
are greatly annoyed because their favor
lite was not invited to the Chauncey De-
pew harmony dinner" recently held in
New York city, at which all of the lead
ing republican aspirants for the presiden-
tial nomination were supposed to have
been invited. Senator Allison has hopes
as high as any of the gentlemen who en-
joyed the hospitality of DR.. Depew. and II
is somewhat notifying to his personal
friends TO think that their man is not GEN
orally regarded as a presidential possibil-
fty. An intimate friend Of the Iowa senator
who never loses an opportunity to push the
Allison boom along, said yesterday that
IL was great injustice to Senator Allison
TO intimate that ne expected to be invited
to the Depew dinner. On the contrary. he
said that Senator Allison is out home.
looking after his senatorial campaign.
which is now on, and he has not the time
to come east to attend dinner parties. On
the surface there is little or no opposi
ton to the reelection of Senator Allison
to the Senate, but there are rumofs afIoat
that the friends of Representative David
b. Henderson and Representative Hem
burn are also in training for the senator
ship. Both of these men are strong in
the affections of the people of Iowa. and
they are regarded as admirable senatorial
material If anything should happen IN
Senator Allison. They are leaders AMONG
the republicans in the House CONSEQUENT.

Keep a bright look out upon his political
