ticing physician of the State of Nebras-
ka, U. S. A, together with recommen-
dations from Congressman, etc, to

ton, was read. The papers were refer
red to DR.. Wood for an answer.
President Smith announced that his
only object in calling the members to-
gether was to consider tenders for sup
plying the leper settlement with beef
cattle. The only tender received was
from H. p. Baldwin, who offered to
furnish good beef cattle at $40 per head,
cattle to be of good quality, weighing
about $50 pounds each. This was three
dollars per head more than last period
He had talked with cattlemen and it
was their opinion that beef could not be
furnished at the old rate. On vote the
tender was accepted.

tie was read 1t was stated that ar
rangements were made whereby hogs
would be inspected by DR.. Monsarrat.

the condemning of one hog.

one prostitutes were examined and one
more Japanese added to the list

ent of the leper settlement, were read.
A matter of disputed will of recent
Iy deceased member of the settlement
was the only thing of Importance con-
tanned. The estate, amounting to
$71 05, is in the hands of the Postmas-
ter-General as a deposit in the Postal
Savings Bank. The opinion Of the
Board was that the case was one for
legal contest by the heirs. The will
left by the deceased has a questiona-
BILE signature to it, and it is not be-
lieved to be genuine.
A letter from the District Judge Of

mingle with the bad ones and no good
would result.

relative to coffee shops at the Ieper set

instructed to notify Mr.. Hutchinson
