AFTER THE DOCTORS.
NEARLY ONE HUNDRED PHYSICIANS
ARRESTED.
Charged with Violating a Law Regarding
Annual Reports Of Births and Deaths.

County Attorney Anderson, on last
Friday and Saturday issued warrants
for the arrest of all of the practicing
physicians in Christian county who
were here last year, with two excep-
tions. These exceptions are DR.. B. F.
Eager, who was in State Institution
in 1895, and DR.. Andrew Sargent,
who complied with the law the 9TH
ers failed to observe.
There are nearly one hundred doc
tors in the county who are charged
with violating law passed in 1874,
requiring each physician to file with
the county clerk a report of all births
and deaths coming within his prac-
tice. The reports are to be filed on
or before Jan. 10, and the penalty for
failing to do so is fine of from S. to
$40. Action is limited to one year
and the doctors are liable for only the
year 1895,
The law further requires the county
clerk to distribute blanks for that
purpose and the failure of county
clerks to perform this duty. the doc
tors claim, has caused them to look
upon the law as one of the numerous
dead letter laws on the statute books.
The existence of the law was recently
brought to the notice of the county
officials and Attorney Anderson ac-
cordingly took steps to reap harvest
of fines. Investigation showed that
only DR.. Sargent had observed the
law. He says he saw warning in
medical journal last winter and filed
his report for 1895 on the last day of
grace.
The doctors have had a hustle Oh
themselves ever since they were put
under arrest.
The cases were all set for trail be.
fore Judge j. W. Breathitt next
Thursday. Petree and Downer rep
resent several of the city doctors.
They find that the law is still in force
and effect, but can only be enforced
one year. One of the doctors who
called upon Mr.. Anderson was told,
that it would take Sl2 to enter a plea
of guilty and pay out S. for fine and
81 cost. He concluded to take his
chances with the others and stand
trial
1t is quite likely the doctors in all
other counties have been equally neg
ligent and county attorneys will has
ten to put the law to them, as it
means rich hand for them, j. the
way of fees.

BLAND OR BOIES.
THE TWO WESTERNERs LEADING
IN THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT.

Likely to Show Up-The Convention
To-Day VIII BE Hummer.

Chicago, July 5.--A careful review
OF the work Of the week at Chicago
shows that Mr.. BANDS prospects
have grown steadily, and his friends
feel confident now of his nomination.
The most important development
OF Saturday was the capture of Hi
nois by Bland. The statement was
made by Mr.. Hinrichsen that the vote
of that State would go as a unit 10

Senator Harris, it is said positively,

Mr.. Bryan will probably be tenn
porary chairman.
The center Of interest Monday will
be the meeting of the silver men.
when the vital questions will be
settled.
1t will not be known until Monday
what the answer of the National Com
mittee to the silver demands will be.
Silver Republicans and PopuEsts
continue their campaign for Teller.
1t is said Bynum and associates
are knifng Matthews.
The gold standard men held DOW
WOW at the Auditorium last night.
and speeches were made by promi.
nent men.
1t is settled as far as anything can
be that the National Committee will
name Senator Hill for temporary
Chairman. 1t is also as certain that
the silver men will not accept Mr..
Hill and will probably vote in a tenn
porary Chairman of their own. Sen
ator-elect Money of Mississippi said
that the silver men would not acce of
Hill, although personally they liked
him very well. He says that Senator
Hill is one of the ablest men the gold
interests could name and the silver
men are afraid that he would manip-
ulate the convention to their disad-
vantage. 1t is known that Mr. Hill
will accept the offer of the National
Committee and allow the convention
to vote him down if they do not want
him.

Chairman Harrity hopes by the unit
rule to hold Pennsylvania delegates
together.
The spirit of revolt is rampant, and
the delegates from the rich agricul-
tural regions of Eastern Pennsylva-
MIA have been called upon by several
hundred of their farmer constituents
to come out for free silver. Truth.
fully, the condition of affairs has
alarmed both the Republicans and
Democrats, but more especially the
latter, as the free silver men are like.
y to swallow the remnants Of the
Democracy.
In Delaware county the free silver
idea is growing and free silver nom
inee will poll surprising vote in the
counties Of Delaware, Chester, Lam
caster and Montgomery.
Of the six Delaware delegates one,
John Salisbury, is outspoken for free
silver and two others are ready to
jump. East and South Jersey are in
a condition of turmoil. West Jersey
and Northern New Jersey, adjacent
to New York City, is held in check by
the power in that city.
The resignation of the well-known
silver advocate, President st. John,
OF the Mercantile National bank,
has awakened interest here in inan.

vided and somewhat at sea as to theil
choice for President after Blackburn
Capt. W. T. Ellis, as long as Black
burn is on the track, will say nothing
except that he is enthusiastically for
Mr.. Blackburn" but friends who
know his secret thoughts say that
when Blackburn is out of the way, he
will be for Bland.
Mr.. Garner said: II am still unde-
cided as to second choice for Presi-
dent, and have not thought of any
one for Vice President"
Urey Woodson, of Owensboro, ar
rived this morning in company with
Capt. Ellis, Mr.. Millett and Sam
Shackelford.
Capt. Ellis has received letters
from majority of the delegates, I"
said Mr.. Woodson, "and they said
that was their choice for National
Committeeman. Judging from these
letters l think that l have good
grounds for believing l will win"
John Rhea said this morning: "Mr.

Strongly for Bland,

Chicago, July 5.-The Bland forces
executed coup to-day by converting
a caucus at the Sherman
House at 2:30 o'clock. attended by
representatives of those trans Missis-
sippi States favorable to Bland. The
notice of the caucus had not been
widely circulated, so that the large
attendance Of prominent Western
leaders was source of unexpected
qualification to the Bland managers.
Sixteen States were represented, hav-
ing an aggregate of 218 votes IN the
convention, and from the assurance
given it was believed that most all. if
not all, of the Western votes could be
relied on for Bland. The States repre-.
sented, with their respective votes,
were as follows Arkansas, l6: Ida.
no, 6; Colorado, 8; Illinois, 48; Kan
sas, 20; Missouri, "a; Montana, 6;
Oregon, 8. Texas, Utah, 6; Washing

Iowa BOYS for Roies.

chicago, July 5.-Ihe managers o.
the Boies campaign says they arr
very much encouraged by the reports
received to-day from their scouts and
skirmishers who had been canvassing
the incoming delegations. They de-
veloped great deal of unexpected
strength, and that he is the second
choice of two-thirds Of the silver del.
egates. They are sensible to the rise
in Bland stock, but they say that
Bland will never be able to secure
two-t thirds of the convention, indicat-
ing that the Boes men will not favor
the abrc cation of the two-thirds rule.
The Boies men think that the pre-
JUDGE against the selection of a
Southern man will operate against
Mr.. Bland and prevent his nomina
ton. The Boies mel say that as soon
as it becomes apparent that Bland
can not be nominated Boies will be
selected.
Iowa men have been arriving all
day. Col. T. G. Phillips, of Ottum-
wa, arrived tonight with 500 Boies

Chicago, July At being a settled
fact that the nominee for President
will be taken from west of the Mis-
sissippi River, it is equally decided
that the ticket should be balanced
with candidate east of that boun-
Diary, but who he shall be and what
State is he to hail from is so far mere
speculation. The name most numer-
ously mentioned is that of John R.
Mclean, of Ohio, and he is being
coupled with every combination yet
suggested 1t depends on whose
headquarters one happens to be in,
just how often be hears the OhiOan's
name mentioned for the vice presi-
dency.
In one place it is Bland and Nc
Lean" in another 'Boies and Nc
Lean" The latter is the ticket the
Populists would like to see nomina-
ted, but Mr.. Mclean is a President
ial candidate. At least he thinks
he is serious enough about 1t
to let his name go in the grand entry
for the prize stake. Another thing,
Mclean has never been caught max
ing combinations with himself as a
secondary consideration. That he
will be formidable candidate for
second place is seriously urged by
number of potential convention fac.
tors. They contend that Mclean
can well afford to make the race, as
he is Young and has snug fortune.
and is withal shrewd politician who
would make Mark Hanna tremble in
his boots, and be on the alert for
squalls.
