FAVOR A STATE EXAMINING BOARD.
Omaha Physicians Discuss n Measure
Now HefOrc the LegisInture.


Now Before the Legislature.
meeting of the medical men of Omaha
was held at the Commercial club rooms yes
terday evening to discuss the measure now
before the state senate to provide an ex-
amining board for applicants to practice
medicine in the state. About twenty-fve
members of the profession were present
representing the three schools, and they were
addressed by DR.. Grothan of st. Paul, who
is chairman OF the senate committee on med
ical legislation which has charge of the
measure.
The bill provides for three committees of
physicians representing the three schools
of medicine, to cooperate with the state
Board of Health and the governor In the
examination of applicants. Every medical
society in the state may recommend names
to the governor for appointment to these
committees. In addition to this examina-
tion it shall be necessary for every applicant
to hold diploma from regularly chartered
medical college requiring a four years
course of study of not less than six months
in each year A fee of S25 is to be charged
for examination, SIS of which goes to the
members OF the examining board as pay for
their services and $40 for other expenses and
to create fund to prosecute Illegal practi-
TONERS.
The discussion was free and informal,
and although objections were raised to some
of the features of the bill the meeting was
entirely harmonious. 1t was generally felt
that the fee of $25 was too high. the point
being urged that added to the other necessary
expenses of the examination 1t would act
as bar against young physicians coming to
Nebraska to practice their profession. 1t
was further urged that 1t was not fair thing
to compel the young men to pay for the
prosecution OF the illegal practitioners. A
motion was made to reduce the fee to $40
and this was carried after an amendment to
reduce Ii TO SIS had been voted down.
With this change the physicians present
favored the passage OF the bill and urged
that even II ii was not possible to secure
the whole of II the clause requiring a GER
tifcate from college having a four years
course should be made law.

other industries throughout the eastern

Brndstrect,s Wall street Revi,

NEW YORK, Feb. n.-Bradstreets re-
view of the New York stock market will on
Saturday say:
No difficulty could be found in describing
the course of this weeks market The
activity was entirely professional, and took
the form of a bear movement in the in
dustrlals. The coal stocks were also un-
steady under the same kind of pressure,
but the general railroad share list was
firm, and at intervals showed more or less
strength while the bond market has been
very well held with symptoms of public
and foreign buying in number of the
speculative issues. The principal incidents
of the week were connected with the in
vestigations of Industrial trusts and monop-
olies by committee of the New York
legislature, causing stop TO buying sup
port and liquidation of speculative holl-
ings.
The firmness of the railroad share list
and the strength of bonds in the face of
the break in the industrals was a subject
of general remark. There was consider
able European buying of certain classes of
bonds. particularly the Northern Pacific
and Atchison issues. The market is bare
of really high grade investments, and this
with the higher prices they command, has
turned to inquiry toward the more specu-
lative classes. Europe did nothing in our
stocks Speculation in London has been
dull and depressed the fears of future
complications in the east. The weakness
of coal stocks is the result of continued
dullness in that trade. 1t would seem that
competition by low priced bituminous is
hurting the market for anthracite.
