ONE of the first bills t. be introdu c-
ed at the coming session of the ILLINOIS
state legislature, which assemblies mex
month, will be a measure granting the
same indemnify to doctors in legal
proceedings as is now extended to
members of the bar and the religious
advisers. During the past two years,
there have been-a number Of notable
cases in which physicians, against
their wills have been compelled, while
under cross-examination on the witness
stand, to divulge pro fessional secrets,
and it is insisted that they have as
much right to protection IN this regard
as have lawyers to whom have been
conided the secrets of their clients, or
priests who have been the recipients of
confessions made under pressure Of
sickness, or of probable death. Con-
siderable data concerning the privil.
eyes accorded the members of the
medical profession in this particular In
other states and in foreign countries
has been collected, and the course Of
the legislation will be followed witt
interest by the profession throughout
the country.

THE w. g.. T. U. In LAS VEGAS.

InE W. VI LIE u IN LAS AI0EAo
The history of all w. c. 7. U. organ
i~zations is that of untiring efforts and
s%eIf-sacrifice OF true and noble women.
and the history OF the w. G. t. U. 10
Las Vegas Is %strikingly SO.
Records of the tirst organization of
this society are not to be had. but in
September, 1885. a reorganization was
effected with Mrs. G. B. Sumner,
president and Mrs. j. B. Dickinson,
corresponding secretary. Since this
date, the union has been actively at
work, sometimes under great disad-
vantages. but always at work.
Ia November, 1887, a reading room
was opened by the ladies, in the st.
Nicholas block, and in the following
year a building was erected by them on
Douglas avenue, and for several years
a reading room and free library were
maintained in it. When the city puild-
ing was completed, the reading
was disbanded and the books Of the
library were moved into a room prov
ided for the purpose in the new city
hall. Since this time, the circulating
library has become an especial
feature of the society, new and good
books have been added from time to
time, until now more than 500 volumes
of good and bright gems of literature
grace the shelves of the w. c. T. U.
library. On an average, sixty books
are taken from the library each week.
Can any man estimate the valuable in
fuence that this has upon the COM
munityP
The work of the Las Vegas w. G. T.
u. has been constant and quiet.
Through ii. each month, good litera-
lure has found its way to the jail, hos
pital, ladies' home, depot, and among
the railroad men. Its work cannot be
referred to in single decisive strokes,

Ed. NoRTHwEsT:-The Napoleon
teachers went to Defiance last Friday
and spent very pleasant and profit.
able day visiting the schools. At 8
p. III. the first session of the Round
Table was held, Supt. Beck presiding.
The leading teachers of the north
western part of the State were in at
tendance. Many questions of inpor-
tance to teachers, parents, and all
who are interested in our Public
schools were discussed. We wished
that every member of our High
school might have been present to
hear the discussion on commence
ment. 1t was the opinion of all that
they should not be discontinued.
Tht occasion is the only time in the
year when the public and the schools
meet together. 1t was also stated
that the public should be trained so
as not to expect the finished produc-
tions of men and women in the essays
and orations given by the boys and
girls who graduate from our schools.
This would do away with the temp
tation to plagiarize.
Every topic discussed was of vital
Importance to teachers; questions
which every teacher has to meet, and
it was worth many times the cost to
have the benefit of the best thought
and experience of such men as State
School Commissioner Corson, Su-
perintendents, Snyder of Tiffin, Frank
of Fostoria, Dean of Kenton etc.
Supt. Hutchinson of Bryan was
present and impressed all favorably.
The Napoleon teachers we're especial
ly interested in him as he is to be one
of our instructors at the County Ins
titute next summer.
The Defiance teachers gave q very
enjoyable reception after the Friday
evening session at the home of Mr..
Kehnath, Pres. of the Defiance School
Board, which afforded the teachers
an opportunity to become acquainted.
The largest delegation of visiting
teachers was from Fostoria. At the
State Association last summer, col
lege committee, whose duty it has
been to visit. different schools, and
determine their standing, spoke very
highly of the Fostoria schools. AT
ter seeing the interest taken by their
teachers in Educational meeting, it
was easy to understand why their
schools are considered among the
best in the state.
1t was the unanimous opinion of all
the teachers who were present at the
Round Table meeting on Friday and
Saturday, that no teacher could af-
ford to miss such opportunities for
improvement.
The teachers of Napoleon were
very proud of the many compliments
which our Supt. received for the able
manner in which he conducted the
Round Table.
1t will be of interest to the people
of Napoleon to learn that the meet
ing of the Round Table next March
will be held here. Let citizens and
teachers unite in giving the associa-
ton a hearty welcome. 1t is the first
time in the history Of Henry county
that our town has been honored by
the Round Table in this manner. The
meeting will be a source OF inspiration
to all who are interested in educa-
tional advancement.
