EARLY AMERICAN DOCTORS.
Some Queer Details Of Their Educa-
tiOn and Practice.

tfOn and Practice.
From the American Monthly Magazine.
1t may be well here to refer to the meth
cd of obtaining a medical profession in
those days. There were but two schools of
medicine in the country. The one at Har-
ward College, just established, and that at
New Haven, organized in 11S4. But by rea-
son Of the dangers and expense of travelling
they were by no means well attended.
In general the medical education was
such as the student could pick up by serv-
ing as an apprentice to some noted practi-
toner, which combined the duties of a
student with many menial affairs. He
ground the powders mixed the pills, rode
with the doctor on his rounds. held the
basin when the patient was bled, helped to
adjust the plasters. sew wounds. and run
with the walls of medicine from one end
of town to the other. 1t was a white day

good fortune of dissecting half-putrid

FIGHT IN M'PHERsoN COUNTY.
Hot Battle to be Fought Ont There Be
tween Candidates Today.

The principal topic of conversation
among politicians is the gubernatorial
situation in Mcpherson county, where
wnat is probably the hottest political
battle of the present campaign is now
going on. 1t is between the friends of
Morrill, and Potter. Governor Morrill,
is represented by J. NJ. Simpson, rail-
road commissioner. while ]. w. Moore
Of Marion, Simpsons brother-in-law, is
managing Potters campaign.
The convention will be held today and
as the Eagle has a correspondent at the
seat of war it will give the result before
any other paper.
1t is claimed that A. W. Smith is
working with Simpson in return for
which 1T is asserted Simpson will sup
port Smith in his candidacy for repre-
sentative before the convention.
Mr.. Simpson claims that it is not al
together proper for J. w. Moore to get
into the fight, but Moore smiles while
saying that Simpson dad not hesitate
TO go into Marion county to get a dele
cation for A w. Smith in 1883 and
again in 1892. He says Smith received
most loyal support from Marion on
both occasions, and that Marion re-
spOnded to McPherson's call for help TO
elect Lucien Earle in 1891. when Simp-
son asked for it Moore says he wants

MORTGAGE WAS BEATEN.
Jury in the District Court Decide an Inter
esting Case.

An important case has been on trial
in the district court for the past two
days, it being the case of ]. S. Murphy
against the Lehman-Higgin Grocery
company. ]. S. Murphy was repre-
sented by Amidon & Comfy, his attor-
neys, and the Lehman-Higginson Gro
cery company by Adams &; Adams. The
case was closely contested on both sides
1t appears that L. o. V. Murphy was
running a grocery store in Wichita on
the 20th day OF November, 1895. and ex-
ecuted a mortgage to J. S. Murphy on
his stock OF groceries for 81 500. and
that afterwards the Lehman-HigginsOn
Grocery company caused an attach
ment to be levied upon the stock Of gro
ceries and sold the same, and ]. s. Muir
ply then sued the grocery company for
81, go claimed by him to be the value
Of the stock of groceries. The grocery
company claimed that the mortgage
was invalid for a number of reasons.
The court instructed the jury very fully
and ably on all the questions in the case
The jury returned yesterday noon, how
ever, with a verdict in favor of the Leh-
man-Higginson Grocery company,
thereby finding against the mortgage.

Miss Flower had a grand voice but as
they had not heard her since she has
had ii cultivated in Chicago they did
not know that she bids fair TO be a star
of the first magnitude in the realm of
song. Nothing could be heard last
night but the singing of ther praises.
People talked about her in the same
manner that the critics would talk
about the rising of a new vocal star in
the grand operas Of Paris and Milan
They talked about her in the came
manner and with the same enthusiasm
that the players talked about TTilby
when that imaginary person was buoy
ed up TO fame under the great hypnotic
power Of Svengalia. And she deserved
all the enthusiastic praise accorder her
