city marshal without resistance or the

the bOotleggers are doing business.
This action is the result of a movement
started by the prohibition element, who
at a meeting held Sunday night ap-
pointed a committee to wait upon the
city and county officials. The committee
called the marshal before it Monday
night and informed him of it's determi-

preferred to see it done peaceably. The
saloon men have been expecting such a
move for several days and were prepar-

Small POx? No!
Medical World

Editor Medical World
see many articles in your journal,
pros and cons, on the eruptiye disease
now so prevalent in the United States.
Since the 18th of September, 1900,
oyer 800 cases have been within the
bounds of my practice. l saw over
200 of these cases, and in no instance
could l say it was small pox.
/ will not take up your valuable
time and space by telling OF the aches
and pains which have been so well de-
fined by other doctors. This is dis
ease that medical writers know but
little about, as they have failed to de-
scribe it just as it is. This trouble is
the reverse of small pox. Small pox
umbilicates; this stays round and full
till the fourth day, then as the scab is
formed it sinks, by drying in the mid
die first. Small pox scabs fall of and
leave pits or scars; small nodule or
bump rises beneath the scabs in this
disease, and pushes the scabs of. In
small pox there is second fever, in
this the temperature has tendency to
GO below normal, and stay during
eruption. The nodules which push
the scabs of remain few weeks, then
disappear, leaving the skin smooth
with pinkish or blush spots in the
skin showing a destruction or dis
turbapce of the pigment layer of the
skin; these, in short time, disap-
pear, and no one could tell that the
patient had ever had a skin disease.
This is the average course of the
disease.
Many victims never went to bed;
others would not be sick more than
two hours with fever. and the pustules
would be so thick that they would seem
to be stacked one on another. Some
would have the other extreme; fever,
pains and aches for four days, and only
one, two, three, or maybe q dozen
pustules would develop. Some would

have sore mouths and throats, others

have sore mouths and throats, others
would not; five or six out of 800 cases
had pustule develop in corner of the
eye, which would leave corneal ul-
Ger, which would soon heal. One case,
a man aged 45. was told by a physi-
clan to get whiskey. and when he
went to break out to drink freely,
making the breaking out appear all at
once, and it would be better for him;
the sooner he would get over it, the
less he would be hurt. So he pro-
cured the good stuff, and when the
time came he took a pint, and the
eruption took his ep1dermis; he now
has a corneal ulcer which, in my
opinion, will destoy the eye. This
man and his family of eight or ten had
all been vaccinated. and all had this
trouble. Other families that were not
vaccinated only part had it, the 9TH
ers escaping. Some who were vacci-
mated escaped, others did not. With
these 800 cases, their variations, and
no deaths. / can't see how any obser-

When the young man returned I asked
him what the doctor said to him. ssOh,

and parallel systems is in direct con-
trayention to the constitution of the
state of Missouri. II Kansas City and
the people along the line of these two
roads would attempt to protect their
interests, guaranteed TO them by the
law of this state, the Frisco road will
retaliate by being unfriendly, so the
official says.
Well and good. Kansas City does
not need the Frisco railroad any more
than the Frisco road needs Kansas
City. 1t has had dealings with the
railroads long before the enthusiastic
young official, who declares the COM
pany's bluff, ever heard that there was
such place as Kansas City. 1t has
made unfriendly roads friendly before
this, and is not alarmed by the echoes
of this bluff.
If the Frisco and Memphis roads
can consolidate. the Chicago and Alton
and the Wabash and any other COM
peting lines running into Kansas City
can do the same thing. If this con-
solidation is legal. the constitution of
Missouri, prepared for the protection
of the shipper agaist unlawful combi-
nation OF railway systems, may be set
at naught and all the roads in Missouri
come under the control OF one syndi-
cate and one management.
In this day OF gigantic combinations
it is well to understand whether or not
the public has any rights In dealing
with corporations. 1t is well to know
whether or not the constitution of the
state of Missouri. prepared for the
protection of the public. can be set at
naught at the behest OF q couple of
greedy corporations.
The question ought to be tested in
the courts. II the new consolidated
can in its infancy stand be-
tween the public and the laws Of this
state, and is strong enough now to defy
the Law and the public. and has
enough to make it's enmity
felt to the detriment OF this communi-
