Doctors Favor the Bill.

A meeting to gain an expression of
the attitude of the physicians of Rock
Island county in relation to the pro-
posed medical bill, which comes up
for passage at sthe next meeting of
the legislature, was held at the court
house this morning. Twenty-Five
physicians were present. DR.. p. H.
VESSEL. of Moline, and DIR. j. F.
Myers, of Rock Island, officiated as
chairman and secretary, respectively.
After hearing the bill, which pro-
vides for the appointment of a state
board of medical examiners, ETC., read,
a general discussion followed, and the
proposed Legislation was unanimously
adopted, with the exception of one
clause, which licenses itinerant vend-
ors of drugs. The doctors approved
of the course of the state board of
health in prosecuting illegitimate prac-
titioners.

ONE SOLDIER TO EACH THOUSAND.
About the Ratio the Chsef Oficer of the
Army Thinks Right.

He thought that one soldier to every
1000 population probably would be
found to be about the right ratio for a
standard, and that the arrny-this
standard being adopted-wouIdi increase
according to the recognized needs of
the government in an exact ratio to the
increase of the population. 1t was very
important-and this had been clearly
demonstrated in the war with Spain
that there should be a full complement
of non on-commissioned officers and men,
as well as of commissioned officers, who
were trained to the hardships of mill
tary life and who knew how to take
care of themselves and to look out for
their own health and comfort in CAM
paign.
He said that it was important to the
efficiency of an army that the men
should have training for the endurance
OF marches. methods of protecting them
selves against severe weather and dis
advantageous climatic conditions,
knowledge of proper food, and how to
care for their persons so as to preserve
their health, strength and efficiency;
and that there should be a sufficient
number of non-commissioned officers
thoroughly trained in the knowledge es-
seutial to a soldiers life and to the care
of the men.

BRICK THROWN AT AN OFFICER.
One of Our Naval Lieutenants the Target
of a Rash Porto Rican.

San Juan de Porto Rico, Sept. 10L
The American evacuation commission
ers, at meeting held Thursday after
noon, decided to notify Captain General
Macias that they were present and
ready to proceed with business. A COM
munication to this effect was drafted in
most courteous terms. 1t asked where
and when the Spanish commissioners
would meet the Americans. Lieutenant
Sears, Rear Admiral Schley's flag lieu
tenant, delivered the communication to
the captain general, driving to the pal
ace in q carriage. At the gate of the
palace q brick was hurled at him from
the sidewalk. Being an old base ball
player he was able, partly, to ward the
missile off with his hands, and it fell,
striking him on the ankle, but doing
only slight injury. This is the first in
cident of the kind since our arrival
here. The lieutenant did not deem it
advisable to lodge a complaint, and the
police made no arrest.
The American commissioners are de-
termined to brook no delay, as indi-
Gated by their action. Although Cap
tain General Macias recognized their
presence by official visits they have not
been notified of the appointment or
the names of the Spanish commission
ers, and the names of the latter have
not been officially gazetted, in spite of
the fact that it is understood, unoffi-
cially, that Generals Ortega and Val
lerino and the auditor of war. Senior
comprise the Spanish commits
sion. The thirty days expire on Sun
day, and if the Spaniards are not pre-
pared to proceed on that date they must
explain matters.
Later. - About noon yesterday the
American military commission received
a reply from Captain General Macias.
He said the Spanish evacuation COM
missioners would be ready to meet the
Americans at the palace this morning
at 1890.

WAR OFFICE INVESTIGATIONS.
One Purpose Thereof Will Be to Relieve
Popular Anxiety.


Washington, Sept. lot is said that
the proposed commission for the inves-
tigation of affairs of the war depart
ment has been under consideration for
some time by the president. Just what
it's duties will be when appointed has
not been definitely determined. but it
can be stated that one reason for its
creation will be to visit and report up
on the conditions in the various army
camps and to satisfy the anxious rela-
tives OF soldiers that the care that is
being taken of them is the best that
can be afforded; and if not, to ascertain
what should be done and report TO the
war department. Officials at the war
department say that inspectors and
army officers have been sent to make in
vestigations. and where any fault has
been discovered it has been corrected.
TO clarity vinegar and even muddy
wine pour into bottle of it half tea
cufful of fresh, sweet milk and let the
whole stand for "a hours As the sedi-
ment will settle to the bottom with the
curdled milk the clear liquid may then

GENERALS MILES AND sHArrER.
Latter Says There Is No Friction Between
Him and Miles.

Camp Meade. Pa. Sept. 10.-General
Shafter and Secretary Alger were here
yesterday. and had long talk. Gen
eral Shafter said to an interviewer re-
garding the Miles controversy: 1T is
all poppycock. There is no friction be-
tween General Miles and myself, at least
there was none when he left Santiago.
Our relations have always been pleasant.
and I do not understand the meaning
of all this talk. The general may have
been talking, but 1 believe that much
of il is due to antagonistic newspapers,
whose motives are certainly not pa
triotic."

Lucchoni, who is an anarchist, sud-

again and was carried to the steamer
unconscious. The boat started, but
seeing the empress had not recovered
consciousness, the captain returned
and the empress was carried to the

QUEEN WILHELMINA's rERIL.
Supposed English Anarchist Tries to Shoot
The Fair Young Ruler.

Berlin. Sept. 10.-The LokaI Anzeiger
says that a fortnight ago an attempt
was made to assassinate Queen Wilhel-
nina near Amersfort, province of Ut
recht, on the road between Castle 500
stdyt and Baara. A man emerged from
behind a tree and fired a revolver at
her majesty. The bullet missed the
queen. but ploughed the cheek of lady
in attendance.
The would-be assassin was arrested.
He is supposed to be an English anarch-
ist. The strictest secrecy has been main
tanned hitherto as to the affair in order
not to disturb the enjoyment of the en-
thrOnement festivities.
