FOndness for Circuit.

There are republicans in Moline
who are wearing a campaign button
bearing the likeness OF Josiah Grout,
candidate for governor of Vermont.
The explanation is found in the fact
that Mr.. Grout once resided in Mo-
line and the wearing of the button is
purely complimentary to him as q
revival OF old associations. He lived
three years in Chicago before locst-
ing in Moline. coming to the latter
city in 1873. During the Garfield
campaign he stumped Rock Island
county, and was thereafter offered a
nomination for congress, but declined.
He served term as supervisor Of
the county, but never cared much
for politics. MIR. Grout is a native
of Vermont. lie the son of a farmer
and quite fond of agricultural pur
suits. On his return TO his native
state in 1880 he purchased fine
farm-one Of the best near Derby
and has since devoted his whole time
to its care and DEVELOPMENT.

THE RANK STATEMENT.

Saturday. October 3-p. m.
The weekly statement of the associated banks
made a better exhibit than had been expected,
although the increases in cash and surplus
reserve holdings We're not as large as last week.
A feature Of the statement which made the
exhibit more favorable than that of last week
in one particular was increase In loans
amounting TO S2624gn, such expansion re-
fecting the easier market for commercial paper
and the extension or rather. beginning. of IN
dustra activity. The movement Of currency
TO the Interior although heavier than last week,
was offset by receipts of gold from abroad, the
addition to cash holdings amounting 10 S3.'Wl.-
100 made up by an increase OF Sl.4Io.2oO in
specie and an increase Of 2.430.|D in legal
tender notes Deposits showed a heavy increase
as compared with recent statements. a gain of
S6364 400 against one Of S23926oo last week
being reported. Circulation increased S2jl,3Oo.
The result Of all the changes was an increase
In the surplus reserve Of S23lO0oo To S16.J26,-

Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1896-08-20

1t has been said that if William Jen-
nings Bryan had selected the stage in
stead of politics as his particular field
of endeayor, he would have inherited
the mantle of Booth or of Barrett, but
just at this time he is probably very
well satisfied with his choice. When
Bryan made his great speech at the
Chicago convention the fasteners who
were unfamiliar with him said that he
must have studied under some finished
eIocutionist, as he displayed knoWl-.
edge of the numerous little arts which
capture an audience and hold it a slave
to the speaker from beginning to end.
When Mr.. Bryan reaches New York
in few days to receive the official
notification of his nomination in Mad
ison Square garden, the huge structure.
which holds 1000 people, sitting and
Standing, will probably not be one
tenth large enough to accommodate
the nultitude3 who will fight, crowd
and push TO see Kim. Bryan is prac-
ticaIIy unk lown to the great masses OF
the eastern cities, and republicans are
just as eager to see MIN as the voters
CT his own political faith.
If snapshot photographs could be
taken of him during the speech he will
make on that occasion, they would
doubtless reveal a variety of facial eX-
preston which AIRY actor on the stage
today would envy. Bryan has that
peculiar kind CT face which is suscepll
Bile to every emotion of the man and
pictures them faithfully.
Some observing genius has said that
the amateur orator gesticulates with
his whole body, a finished orator with

SURGERY IN MIDDLE AGES.
Up to the Beginning Of This Century
Surgeons Were Also BARRIERS

In the formation and dispatch of a
military force at the present time, no
matter whether it be small "provi-
sional battalion" or an army corps of
the largest size, the equipment and pro-
vision Of the medical branch is as com
plete, and, Droportionately to the size
of the force it accompanies, as large as
the supply and transport, the engineer
ing department. or that of the com
Blatant strength itself In this, per
haps, more than in any other point. the
contrast between the present condi-
lions which obtain and the state of
things at even comparatively recent
times stands out with startling distinct
ness.
The first trace of field hospitals, or
as they were formerly described, fly
ing hopitals," appears to be in the re-
corded fact that the Emperors Mauri-
cius and Leo VI. had along with their
armies certain followers called depu-
tati who were distributed among the
cavalry and were obliged to carry off
those wounded in battle. On this ac-
count they had on the left side of the
saddle two stirrups, in order that they
might more easily take up the wounded
behind them, and for every soldier thus
saved they received a certain reward.
They were required also to carry with
them a bottle containing water for the
purpose of reviving those who might
have tainted through loss of blood.
The works of Paracelsus, Thurneyser
and other ancient writer's upon surgery
show incidentally that they were pres
ent at battles and sieges. but certainly
only as combatants and not as APP
pointed surgeons. Tie field surgeons
who accompanied armies in the begin
ming of the fifteenth century were
rather for the use of the commanders
and principal officers than for the ser
vice of the troops at large. Their mum
bers were too small and us they were
authorized by their commissions to re
ceive booty and prisoners, and. liR- the
knights. We're obliged to bring with
them archers, they We're doubtless
primarily combatants.
The appointment of regimental sur
geons in the English army WIS, II Is
probable, co-eval with their corps but
at what precise period it became Gus
tomary to provide places fer the reCep-
tisn of the sick or wounded is uncer-
tain. The first authentic information
on the subject is to b. found in the
writings Of Drs. Monro and Brocklesby.
both of whom fiourished about the mid
die of the last century. The former,
who seems to have examined the an
cient writer's with great care for infor-
