THE GOAT WAS IN HIS GLORY
lnitiatOry Ceremonies of the 123d Degree
of Tfn-panners of Pony.


Pony. April 9-[Special Correspond
ence]-The Knights of the Maccabees
delighted a large number of their
friends last Friday evening by an
unique and we'll rendered literary en-
tertainment. The play presented was
the Initiation of a candidate into the
order of T%in-panners. the initiation
team composed of G. B. Edwards. c. e.
MOrrisf II. S. Adkins. j. z. Milli~an.
{. c. Young. Geo. Haviland. Tom Bell.
c.. 5. Hanson, and Jacob Meyers. and
their victim. G. H. Morris. Each per-
former acted his part we'll: and the can
didate for a seat in the l23rd degree OF
the order of the Tinpanners has Il real
ling sense of the dignity, power and
subllmity of the order of which he has
become a member. The conclusion of
the ceremony was a march "a la Lady
Maccabees' and was highly appre-
clated. After the play a repast of
sandwiches, lemonade and fruit was
served. The floors were then cleared
and the remainder of the evening"
spent in dancing and games. Every
n in attendance spoke of the efforts
of the X. O. II. M to please as being
the most successful ever attempted bv
any order in Pony. The order is zap
sdly gaining in numbers at this point.

THOSE UTAH RESOLUTIONS.

The people of Utah know when they
have a good thing and having it are
no, 10th to push it along. Just now
the good thing" being pushed is the
Honorable Frank j. Cannon. the sena-
tor from Utah who had the COURAGE to
stand up with Senator Teller and the
men from Montana for silver. The
ringing resolutions recently adopted at
conventions held in different counties
OF the state are warm in their praise of
CannOn-as they should be-and Sena-
tor Brown has been almost universally
ignored.
We are glad of this because it ac-
cords praise where praise is due and
shows Mr.. Brown the error of his way.
We are not at all sorry for the men in
Utah who were opposed to Judge Good
win. They sem Mr.. Brown to Wash
ingtOn and must take their medicine.
and recent developments show that
they do not relish the draught.
When the matter of choosing a sena-
tor comes up again they will be wiser
by experience and will know enough
to lay aside religious prejudice and
vote for a mar whose fealty to silver
cannot be questioned-and that man is
Judge Goodwin.

AFTER THE DOCTORS
STATE SECRETARY SAYS THEY
NEGLECT THEIR DUTIES.

} Law Requires Them to File With the
Deaths, Births and Contagious Dis
eases, But for Some Cause This has
has Been Neglected in Sedgwick COanty
Secretary of Board of Health Threat
ems to See That the Law is Enforced
Law Imposes a Fine of $1,000.
The state board of health is taking
action toward stirring mp the physicians
of Sedgwick county ana have writ ten a
demand to DR.. RentZ, the county physi-
clan, requiring him to forward TO them
all data with reference TO births, deaths
and contagious diseases in the county.
DR.. Rentz says that the law is plain
upon this subject, that it is impossible
for him to make the necessary report
unless the practicing physicians obey
the law and file their reports. He
cites section 6,O32 of the laws Of 1883,
which makes 1t a penalty and places
fine of SO upon all practicing physicians
who shall fail TO report TO the county
physician not only al deaths coming
under their supervision, but also all
cases that they may have had partial
knowledge of, where there has not been
eny practicing physician.
The law also requires them to file with
the county physician al births and that
the county physician shall make from
these reports a monthly, and subse-
quently a quarterly report to the state
board.
DR.. Rentz says this law has been IN
needed by the physicians and that since
he has been in office he has not received
a single report Of either contagious
diseases, death or birth. He has made
his report of deaths by visiting the diff
ferent undertakers, but this does not
give him the burials from the outside
points. That the smallest counties in
the state show the birth of more chill,
dren than Sedgwick county.
The state board of health, by its sec
rotary threatens to bring suit against
every practicing physician in Sedgwic'<
county unless the reports are fOrthconI-
ing hereafter.
Dr. Rentz says the matter will be
brought before the county commissio n
ers and the physicians will be notified
of this oversight and he thinks there
will be no trouble.
