Dear Sir:-Your letter Of the
28th inst. received and contents
duly noted. You have made a
charge against me without Civ
ing the names of those prefer
ring it. While have a right to
remain silent and demand proof
of the charge you make, l shall
not avail myself of it. | shall
not be present ON Wednesday,
the 9Th of April, and send you
this as my reply.
You make the charge of uu-
professional conduct. The
charge Is untrue. To sustain
that charge you have two speci
fcations First, In that being
present at a meeting of the
County Board of Health of Pas
quotank County, March 9TH
inst, and taking part in the pro-
ceedings at time when a cer>
tain course of action, most inn
portant to the body, it was un>
aniously agreed upon as right
and proper under the circum>
stances. you went from that
meeting and adopted upon your
own motion, and without pro
per consultation with your con-
ferrers, line of conduct for
Yourself totally at variance with
the previous agreement, and as
we consider it, subversive of the
best interests of the medical pro
fession in this community"
The specification is not true. 1t
is true that the County Board of
Health of Pasquotauk County
met on March 9th inst at the
request of Mr.. G. M. Scott,
Chairman of the County Com
missieners. At that meeting
Mr.. Scott was present and
it vas reported that Dr.,
Fearing had resigned as
Supt. of Health of the County,
and that he did this because the
Commissioners had failed to ap-
prove his bill on that day; it |
was then talked over N the
meeting and all the doctors re-
commended Dr.. Fearing for re-
election, aud they agreed to
sustain the bill presented by DR..
Fearing to the B ,ard of CONS
lnissioners. This was the only
course agreed upon, and was the
only course marked out by the.

com posed of the doctors of this
community. was perfectly sat-

County and FIX his salary, which
law was passed III 1897. AS 1

this right before, and the Board
OF Health thought that it had

turned out that they did not have
this right, and the Commissions

LEFE WORTH LIVING.

III was sufferer from torpid liver fer
over a year." writes Mrs. Nora Willis,
Wheatfeld, Jasper Co., Ind, vand could
not sleep, nor eat but very little, and then
it would cause me great distress. 1 tried
several doctors but got no relief. Was
advised by friend to writeAto Dr. Pierce,
which I did. and in few days received
a letter, advising me to take his Golden
Medical Discovery and also his Pleasant
Pellets After l had taken only half a
bottle was greatly improved. only
took three bottles of the Golden Medical
Discovery and two Walls of the Pellets,
and, thanks to DR.. Pierce and his wonder
full medicine, 1 am as we'll as ever in my
life, and feel that life is worth living
after all.
vLast winter took a severe cold which
resulted in pleurisy. Tongue cannot tell
what I suffered. For two nights and two
days could not move without it nearly
killed me. told my husband 1 could not
endure another night of suffering. The
weather was so cold and stormy that it
was almost too bad for anyone to 60 six
miles to town, but he went, and got a
bottle of Dr. Pierce's Extract of Smart
Weed, which gave me instant relief. I
can say that for all pains that have tried
it for it has worked like magic. We keep
bottle of the Smart-Weed in the house
all the time. I cannot thank Dr. Pierce
enough for what he has done for me-"

when I first came to st. Paul." says
Gen. Sanborn, 1.-The town was a typical
Western frontier town with a population
estimated at between 1000 and 5000. The
streets were full Of Indians most of the
time, and the principal trade was in furs.
This was prior to the great change that
took place in commerce in 1856 and 1857.
At that time the bar and bench were
probably, If anything, fully as strong
as at the present time. Cases were we'll
tried, the decisions of the judges were
clear and the law as we'll defined as in the
present day. II there were crudities they
were before my time Our principal
business was with the land offices at Red
Wing, Minneapolis, Winona and Fari,
bault, all Of which we reached by the
river with the exception of Faribault,
where we had to drive
Our judges then were Moses Sher-
burne, Andrew G. Chatfield and VILLAIN
H. WEIGH who, sitting en- banc, consti-
tuted the territorial supreme court. The
principal firms of practicing lawyers
were Rice, Hollingshead & Becker,
Ames & Van Edden, Wilkinson, Babcock
& Brisbin. William P. Murray was then
city attorney, and 1 think that Judge
Flandrau was practicing law somewhere
up in the country. OF all that 1 have

RIVER CLAM INDUSTRY.
Would Last Many Years Longer If
MOIIusks Were Gathered Properly.

Davenport Leader.
There seems to be considerable curios-
ity, If such 1t may be called as to how
long the clam shell industry will contin-
ue in the Mississippi valley. Some peo-
pie think 1t will last only a couple of
years, while many are of the opinion
that 1t will last for term of years How
long the shells will last will depend
much upon how the button business is
handled If the supply of shells in the
Mississippi river would last for a good
many years to come one Of Hle most sue
cessful industries in the West would be
kept In operation. AS long as the but
ton factories in this city continue to run
employment Is assured for several hun
dred men and girls.
Fritz T. Boepple, the veteran button
manufacturer, has been seen and told the
reporter many things of interest If
the shell business was handled properly
the clam shells in the Mississippi river
would never give out. The shells are
now gathered from the river with a
"crawfoot," or three-forked spear This
method seems to be the one now gener-
ally used. but it will finally prove very
detrimental to the shell industry
In securing the clans in the above man
ner the young ones that are too small
for use in the manufacture of shells are
caught as well as the large CLANS There
being no use for the young clans they
are thrown back into the river, where
they died from the injuries received by
the crawfoot If the clam shells were
gathered with sieve or rake the young
shells conld be thrown back into the
river when caught, where they would live
and develop until such time as they
would be large enough to use in the
manufacture OF buttons. If the young
shells were thrown back into the river
to live, tons upon tons of them would
be saved from the button factories an
nually. and it is doubtful If the supply
OF shells would ever run out
Some legislation should be taken to
prohibit the destruction of the young
clam 1t wiuld be to the benefit of the
proprletors of the button factories and
the gatherer Of the clans to use the
rake or sieve in gathering shells in or
der that the young CLAIMS might not be
destroyed without being put to good use.
If legislation should be enacted in the
interest Of young CLAIMS 1t would be for
the good of the button business.

In the Preparation of Various
Dishes Is Increasing.
New York Evening Post.
The use of peanuts in the preparation
of various dishes is increasing. A wafer
to be offered at afternoon teas is made
by chopping very fine pint of the
shelled nuts and mixing them with three
eggs, two tablespoonfuis of milk, a little
salt, and a cup of sugar creamed with
two tahlespoonfuls of butter. Flour is
added to make a soft dough, which is roll
ed very thin, cut into strips and baked
IN a moderate oven. Peanut sandwiches,
too are appetiZing and nutritious, either
for tea or with the salad at luncheon or
dinner. Several receipts are followed to
make them, good one calling for brown
bread. This is cut in thin slices and Very
lightly buttered, spread vita cam
cheese and layer of finely chopped nuts.
The slices are then pressed together, and
cut In cirlces or oblongs. At the grocer 8
may be found peanut butter put up In

Fate seemed against Bennett. Not long
after he was placed on the fast mail he
met with mishap which caused him to
ue laid off for time, and when he was
relnstated 1t was on a passenger. There

not FAR distant from Creston. One day
as the fast mail was Swimming along like
a Dlrd, the engine took a notion to re-
tuse to answer to the curve rail- and went
right on into the ditch. No one was in
1ured, but the engine was pretty we'll
used up, and Bennett was laid off. That
almost unified him for fast work. But
he could not dictate, and when he was
given passenger run he took 1t, but, as
he often said, with much misgiving And
his premonition was not groundless. In
less than a week Benefits train crashed
into freight that was supposed to be
on the siding. AS in the previous in
stance, no one was injured, but there was
q bad smash-up and Bennett was sent
to freight
FORCE OF HABIT.
From that day Bennett was in mortal
dread lest another accident should befall
him. He grew over-cautiOus, and was
reprimanded for slowness The climax
came one day, just out of Ottumwa.
Bennett's engine was pulling heavy
train. He was coming along to the long
switch" at a lively clip when suddenly
ne saw from the cab window q sight that
drove all the blood out of his cheeks. Fate
seemed to have fixed upon him to be
party to an awful disaster. There d.
rectly. in front of him, and too close to
allow time to reverse and prevent col
llsion, was, as Bennett thought, a pas
senger train on the main track. To hit
1t meant, perhaps, death to passengers
and crew. Destruction of property he
thought unavoidable. Bennett was g
brave man. He did the best he could I'M
der the distressing circumstances. He
reversed and put on the air, for his train
was provided with that help. Just be-
fore the expected crash Bennett jumped.
He was uninjured Opening his eyes he
looked in the direction Of the tracks and
Faw-not a wreck, but the passenger
train preparing to pull out, and his own
train on the siding just beyond. He had
been the victim of an optical Illusion.
The passenger train was not on the long
siding, but the switch was turned for him,
and his train cleared the other, with
room to spare. That settled it with Ben
nett. He left the Burlington, and when
/ last heard of him he was steering
switch engine at Moberly-and al his own
request.

JOHN B. SANBORN

John B. Sanborn studied law in the Of
flee of A c. Fowler, at Concord, N. H.,
and was admitted to the bar at the July
term of the superior court al New Hamp-
shire in 1854 He opened law offices at
Concord but in the same year, recog
niZing the opportunities offered by the
then undeveloped West, removed with his
partner, Theodore French, to st. Paul
and commenced the practice of law Jan.
!, 1858. Their first law offices were In
building known as the Rice house,
which stood on part of the site occu-
pied by the Metropolitan hotel at pres
ent. His next office was in the same
block, but over Mackubin & Edgerton's
bank. In 1857 the firm was changed to
Sanborn, French & Lund by the addition
of Charles c. Lund, a brother-in-law OF
Theodore French, who came out from
New Hampshire. Afterwards, on the
death of French In February, the firm
became Sanborn & Lund, which con-
tinued until Jan. l. 1862 when Mr.. San
born entered the United States army as
colonel of the Fourth Minnesota Volun-
teer infantry. After about four years of
service he emerged from the war
brigadier general with the brevet of ma
Jor general. Resuming once more the
practice of his profession he assoc ated
with him w. H. Sanborn, and after
wards, E. 2. Sanborn, both of whom were
nephews. John B. & E. p. Sanborn is
the present style of the firm. Despite
