Disciples of Escuiapiu. Meet.


The Vernon county medical society
met at Westby, May 26, and after par
taking of an excellent dinner at the hos
pitable home of DR.. and Mrs. Schreiner,
the society was called to order by its
president, DIR. W. A. Colt, who forty
years ago commenced practice In this
county. The roll call showed that Doc
tors Gott Minshall, Backe, SurensoD,
Lerche, Storlei, Gaines, Riordan, YER
non, Brenizer, Wood, SchTeiner, Cremer,
and Porter were present.
Dr. Gott read an able paper on "An-
esthesia in Labor" giving the history
of the medico- theological fight against
DIR. Simpson, who first used an@sthetics
in midwifery practices. ain pain and
sorrow shalt thou bring forth children"
said the bible, and the clergy and doc
tors of 1850 believed it sin to mitigate
woman's pain in her hour of greatest
suffering. DIR. Vernon, the witness,
who last year in the Sullivan case got
the better of Joe Morrow, who tried to
confound him, read paper on "Syncope
in Chloroform An@sthesia" The sub
ject was discussed by most of the men,
bers.
G. V. Porter read short paper on
''Actinomycosis," which was ably dis
cussed by DIR. Chas. Trowhridge end
DIR. Colt.
DIR. Minshall read a well prepared
paper on ''Pleural Effusion," and DIR.
Schreiner and others followed on the
same subject.

medicine in our state.

case in his practice which make good
recovery.
"Phlegmasia Alba Dolens," long
name for milk leg, was the subject OF
DIR. Cremer's paper. Dre. Minshali,
Storlei aud, others, discussed the sub
ject. The disease is evidently caused by
infection, and because DR.. Cremer's
patient refused to remain for weeks in
bed she died suddenly the day she arose
from it.
DR.. Schreiner's paper on Multiple
Labor" gave good account of the in
teresting subject of twins, triplets, etc.
DIR. Colt told story of fifty mile ride
from his regiment in Minnesota, to con-
suit with veteran doctor in a case of
twins, and of his failure to locate the
second twin. His fee he divided with
Jerry Rusk and another officer.
DR.. Vernon related an interesting
case, and the program was then con-
cluded.
DR.. j. Esch, of Rockton, graduate
of the electrical medical institute of
Cincinnati, and DIR. F. w. Homer, of
Cashton, graduate of Hahnemann
medical college of Chicago, were elected
members of the society. BY invitation

society is to be held at the Vernon
county asylum, Thursday, August %,

wife received the thanks of the society
for their kind hospitality, and the mem
bers and the wives of some of them who
were present were invited to take tea
with them, aiSar which many of tam
drove long distances to their homes.

WHAT OF THE WAR srruArroNs


For the past week many conflicting
and contradictory reports have been re-
ceived as to whether or not Admira
Cervera is really bottled, corked and
sealed cp in the harbor of Santiago, or
whether he is still rowing over the
high seas and evading the "American
pigs" and their "peace persuaders' by
lodging about as heretofore. 1t seems
that conclusive evidence has been lack
ing, since Commodore Schley has been
lying off Santiago harbor, owing to the
fact that Schley's only information was
derived from insurgent sources. Be
this as it may, it is quite evident Com
modore Schley would not play around
the entrance OF the harbor for SO long
time unless he was we'll convinced there
was something in it." The very latest
information indicates that this is now
the case, and that e'chley, through the
most clever maneuvering, succeeded In
obtaining peek at the Dons by lead
ing them to believe he had left in dis
gust. He has acted on his own infor-
nation for the past six days, it is said,
and he believes he has the whole armada.
After conference between Secreta-
ries Alger and Long and Miles, Monday
night, it was agreed that General Miles
should Immediately go south. He has
already issued orders to his headquar-
ters staff to take an early departure, and
is probably now on the way to Tampa.
1t Is said that the first expedition to
leave Tampa will be the one going to
Santiago, and that it will be composed
of 10000 men. 1t is thought Miles
may occupy the hills surrounding San
tisgo harbor with them.
Troops &c gulf ports have been or
dered to freak camp, and landing is
to be effected on Cuban soil at different
points. They are to be conveyed by
SIMPSONS battleships. Arrangements
have been made to utilize the services
Of the insurgents to the largest posi-
BILE extent. The government has already
sent expeditions to large number of
points on the island and landed arms
for the Cubans.
Admiral Dewey is still holding his
entrenched position in the harbor of
Manila. As soon as reinforcements ar
rive, it is hoped Manila will be under
his control. 1t is said he has informed
the authorities of the city, who have
threatened to shoot the captain of the
Spanish gunboat Callao. captured by
the United States fleet, that he would
hold them responsible for the Spaniard's
life. Supplies are said to be reaching
Manila from the surrounding country,

wISCONSIN'S BIRTHDAY.

On December Is, 1847, when Wis
consin territory had population Of
210,546, $4,000 less than the present
city of Milwaukee, the constitutional
convention was held that adopted oul
present state charter. A previous con
stitutional convention had been held in
October, 1916, but the people had voted
down it's proposals. The present CON
stitution was adopted in March, 184S,
and the congressional act admitting the
state was passed May 20, 1S40, fifty
years ago tomorrow. On the oth OF
May, Wisconsin had her first state cleo
ton and in total vote of 80, 9S7, elected
Nelson Dewey, a second cousin of the
now famous Admiral Dewey, the dem
ocratic candidate for governor, by a
majority of 5.0SS.
In 1850 the national census showed a
population in the state of 305, 391. The
census of 1870 shows q population OF
1.6S6,SS0.
While Wisconsin was admitted to the
union but fifty years ago, her history
began over two hundred years ago.
In his "Story OF Wisconsin," Mr.. r. G
Thwaites says:
''The child born upon the May
flower was but in her fourteenth
year when Wisconsin entered upon
the stage of history. 1t was in 1854
that Jean Nicolet, agent of the in
curing and polite Champlaiu, set
foot upon Wisconsin soil, the first
white man known to have visited
the old northwest"
From this time until 1916 Wisconsin
was under French and English domino
ton, with history as full of the wild
romance of the woods as any portion of
the continent.
Our neighboring city OF Prairie du
Chien was located by our government
in 1915 by the building of Fort Craw-
fo,d and it's occupancy by Major Nor
gan and four companies of rifiemen
from st. Louis. The site had even then
long been occupied as trading post by
the French and British, and during the
war of 1912 it had been occupied with
block house by the British, called
Fort Mckay, after Major William Nc
Kay, British officer. It was not un-
til 1916 that the United States govern
ment began seriously to exercise her
sovereignty over this portion of the
then Northwest Territory.
Wisconsin's progress since that time
has been rapid and permanent, and
those who will today celebrate her
fiftieth anniversary as a state will
look about them to find one of the
greatest of the national sisterhood,
though her resources are not yet fully
developed.
The story of Wisconsin has been one
of continuous, substantial and honor
able development. The best traditions
of the fathers of the republic were
planted in our constitution, and Wiscon-
sin has always been true to the princi-
Piles of freedom, of local self-govern-
ment and religious liberty. that are the
fundamental guarantees of our system.
Wisconsin has been populated by q
sturdy, high-mlnded and intelligent
class of settlers, and her record is the
record of their growth and prosperity.
Every citizen of Wisconsin has reason
to be proud of her history and tf her
present standing in the sisterhood of
states.-La Crosse Chronicle.

The "hard tack" which ia being sup

The "hard tack" which is being sup
piled to our volunteers--some of it, at
least--is very different article from
the great round wheaton slabs which
fed our armies during the war of tbs
rebellion. That supplied to the regi-
ments now is made in little oblong bits
about the size of an oyster cracker, but
square cornered. Thus the soldier is
not obliged to imperil his teeth as of
yore in biting from the "slab," or if his
teeth are poor, to dip it in his coffee be-
fore getting a mouthful. Baked in this
modern way it is more frisble and easier
to chew. But it will no longer serve as
a platter on which it was the pride OF
the old campaigner to be able to cut his
meat with his jsckknite without demol-
ishing the dish. 1t is sweet and whole
some and is put up in pound packages
of shape convenient for the haversack.
