MEETING OF N|EO|cOS
Central District Society Dimes
and Talks at Scheutzen
Park.
DIR. GARTER IS CHOSEN PRESIDENT.

Rock Island Physician to Serve as Head
/ of Iowa and Illinois Association for IL e
Ensuing Year-Abie Papers by DIR. e. L.
L gifts Discussed.
The Iowa and Illinois Central Dis
trict Medical society met at Schuetzen
park, Davenport, yesterday afternoon
to elect officers and discuss the physi-
cal ills of the two cities so that by the
Interchange of ideas more efficacious
results may be attained in the treat
ment of diseases. The gentlemen
gathered at noon and partook of a
bounteous repast, after which the
business meeting was held. The cleo
ton of officers resulted:
President-Dr. Charles Carter, Rock
Island.
Vice-president-D Henry Matthey.
Davenport.
Secretary-Dr. &. E. Decker, Daven-
Treasurer-Dr. Emily Wright, Rock
Island.
An able discussion of the spinal
meningitis question followed, in which
all the members took part. There
was no written report made, but each
physician was called on to state his
views and experience in treating the
cases which prevailed here last spring.
Some excellent talks were given, and
the physicians present expressed
themselves as much enlightened in
their ideas of the question. Much
light was thrown on the causes and
results of the disease.
DIR. j. p. Crawford, of Davenport,
presented an interesting specimen of
brain taken from the head of person
who died from softening of the brain.
1t created much interest, and the doc
tors able talk on the case added much
to the interest of the meeting.
History of the Society.
One of the most interesting papers
was by DR.. G. l.. Eyster, of Rock ISL
and, who read brief history of the
society. This was of much interest to
the older members, who have been
with the society since it's inception.
He talked of the beginning of the So
ciety and it's growth from a few. mem
bers to its present. He also spoke of
the many prominent men who have
taken part in the discussions of the
society and the excellent results of
this periodical interchange of ideas.
After the discussion of several 9TH
er topics the society ordered by a
unanimous vote for the secretary to
draw up resolutions of sympathy for
the family of DR.. A. w. Cantwell, who
has been one of the prominent men,
bers of the society, on account of the
doctors affiiction.

PROBABLY WAS MURDERED.
Dead. Body of e. Ii. BaughaD, of Kellogg.
Iowa, Found In Moline.


The dead body of E Benjamin
Baughan. of Kellogg. Iowa, a bullet
wound in his side, was found at 1
o'clock this morning alongside the
Rock Island railroad track on Twenty
second street, Moline.
1t is thought Baughan was muir
dered by tramps and thrown from the
westbound c.. r. L. & P. freight
train that passed through Moline
about an hour before the finding of the
body.
The neck and left arm had been
broken in the fall from the train. The
body was evidently dragged some fifty
feet. The skull was also fractured.
Baughan was 80 years of age, well
dressed, and from letters in his pock eft
is thought to have been harness
maker and was on his way home from
a trip to Chicago. A postmortem
examination is to be held.

FALL THAT KILLED CADDY
Rock Island Boy Second to Meet Death In
Week on st Louis Track.

Rock Island Boy Second to Meet Death In
Week on st Louis Track.
The st. Louis Republic contains the
following about the death of Harry
Caddy, whose funeral occurred from
his parents home here Tuesday:
Jockey Harry Caddy, who was
badly injured in a fall from the 2-year-
old Rose Caron at the fair grounds last
Thursday, died from his injuries at
the College of Physicians and Sur.
geons Sunday. A conclusion of the
brain caused the boys death. Caddy
was under contract to Milton Deather-
age, the owner of several horses at the
fair grounds. Caddy's home was at
Rock Island, where his parents reside.
The remains will be shipped there for
burial. Caddy is the second jockey
killed at the track within n week,
Jockey George Lynch having died
from injuries received in a fall from
Bloodhound last Friday. Two fatali-
tiles in less than one week ought to
provoke action on the part of the track
management that will have tendency
to prevent such accidents in the flu
.ture. Big fields are mainly response
BILE for the trouble. There were Ii
horses in the race in which Lynch was
killed, and the humping and crowding
around the turns was something
frightful. In the absence of compe-
tent riding talent, owners are COM
PEELED to put up stable boys, who are
unable to pilot a horse properly in a
big field. In the race in which Caddy
was injured by the fall from Rose
Caron there were only eight starters.
and the boy was thrown soon after the
start"

In accordance with the announced
arrangement, the polls were closed at
8 O'Clock sharp last night. A half hour
later the committee of citizens selected
for the purpose had completed the cam
vass of the vote at THE ARGUS office,
whereupon they drew up the follow
ing statement of the vote cast in THE
ARGUS office for Rock Island queen of
the Moline floral parade:
I'VE, the undersigned, vote cam

Completing its. work at The ARGUS
office the committee was invited to
verify the vote received at the Union
office, which it did. A total of 40, 036
votes were polled--a remarka bly,
large number when it is considered
that the contest conferred on an affair
that is to occur in a neighboring
town, and that the polls were open
but few days. Had the people here
been allowed as long time in which to
vote as was given Moline it is fair to
presume that the total would have
been much larger. OF the 40, 036 ballots
cast 33. 422 were received at TIE AR
GUS office.
Much Interest shown.
Great interest was manifested in the
contest, particularly on the closing
day. the vote for Miss Kennedy, Miss
Gilmore and Miss Freeman being es-
.pecially active. Friends of Miss Ken
nedy concentrated their efforts, pur-
suing their work like old-time politi-
cal campaigners, and the result was
success for their candidate. When
the official returns had been announced
Bleuer's band was secured and the
victor serenaded at her home. The
young lady made appropriate response
to the reception and thanked her
friends for their efforts in her behalf.
Miss Kennedy is the sweet-faced
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Timothy
Kennedy, 10 West Seventeenth street
and is a clerk at the Woodmen head
office. She will make charming
floral queen.

day.

A SUCCESSFUL MEETING.
REPORTS AND SOCIAL PROGRAM
AT Y. NJ. c. A.
Large Audience-Address by Rev. Mr.
Gardner-Musical Treats-Some Good
Work.

There was at the Y. NJ. C. A. hall last
evening quite the best quarterly meet
ing ever held by the Association. All
the features were of a high and enter
tanning order, and the audience was
large and appreciative. President Wal
ter G. Weldon occupied the chair.
The first report was by the recording
secretary, Il. f. Beardmore. 1t showed
that during the quarter over fifty new
members had been taken into the As
ISOLATION.
Associate Secretary A. T. Brock read
for the chairman of the physical com
mittee, A. b. Wood the report of the
quarter. In it attention was drawn to
great strides in the athletic department
of the work during the period. The
gymnasium was better patroniZed than
ever before, and the future of the ply
steal branch was most promising.
Phillip Henry Dodge read the report
of the devotional committee. 1t was
quite interesting, showing the work in
the hall and outside during the peri
Cd and drawing attention to what was
planned for the future.
Secretary H. E. Coleman read for the
chairman of the educational commit
tee, Judge W. f. Frear, the report of
the work in the classes 1t was shown
that 163 persons had awaited themselves
of the free tuition during the quarter.
President Weldon gave a short talk
addressed particularly to young men.
1t was in the nature of an appeal for
more and better work during the ensu-
ing quarter.
Professor F. w. Jacobs rendering of
THE Little Stowaway" as a tenor solo
was a strong feature. The song is
touching, and carries a moral. 1t was
presented in a most impressive man
ner and was greatly appreciated.
Rev. w. A. Gardner delivered the ad-
dress of the evening. His subject was,
| christianity, a Business Enterprise"
The talk was deeply logical, and was
delivered with force and effect. 1t was
about ten minutes long.
! Professor Games offered a mandolin
solo. This ELECTED general applause, to
which the player responded with an
other pleasing effort. Mrs. Ewing Off
! ciated as piano accompanist.
Mr.. Coleman closed the literary pro-
gram with a short address. This, too
was addressed to the young men, al
| though it treated of subjects of gener-
al interest. The work of the past quar-
ter was reviewed and an outline of the
plans for the future given.
At this point the social evening be-
gan. Old members were given an OPP
! portunity to meet new ones. Light re-
! freshments were served. The meeting
broke up shortly after o'clock.

Annexation A BONANZA
HAWAIIAN SUGAR MEN ARE SAFE
FOR YEARS.
Willett & Gray Say the Local Sugar
Done Before.

Willett & Gray's last circular con-
tains interesting resumes of the sugar
market during the year 1898 and some
predictions as to the future. The not
ed authorities see in Cuba the wheel
that will sway the raw market of the
world in a short time. They see the
Island attracting American wealth
and enterprise, railroads running here
and there and new plantations being
started at every possible point OF
Hawaii the circular has this interest
ing statement:
"A notable event of the year, affect
ing the future value of sugar, has been
the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands
and thus making perpetual the intro
duction into the United States free of
duty all the sugars the Islands can
raise. This is simply a bonanza of the
largest kind for all the commercial SUI
gar companies in the Islands, and the
production of sugar will be increased
to its highest limit, as no material de-
cline in the value of sugar can come
for the several years which must elapse
before Cuba can be annexed to the
United States.
Porto Rico is expected to be admit
ted about the same as Hawaii, but can
hardly increase it's production of sugar
to more than 100000 tons. The Philip
pine Islands according to indications,
may be treated for some years practi-
cally as foreign, as far as sugar is con-
cerned."

Wanton S. Webb, the newspaper
man of whom mention was made yes
