Thinning the Herds.
Nebraska farmers are suffering from
the "cornstalk disease" which IS
spreading among their cattle. The ex-

that frost kills the germ on the

Dr Callaghan Appealed His Case to the
 Superior Court.

GupeTlOT court.
 Tie case against Dr CalIaehan for practicing medicine without license to do so was the only one in the city court this morning. Judge Peasley presided. Attorney Russell, represent ing Mir Callaghan, stated that he wished to file a demurrer and thus save his client from pleading and the bother and delay of a trial. The doe tor. he said, was always desirous of trying the constitutionality of the law which requires physicians practicing law III this state to take out a license. IL was simply a matter of principle with the doctor. The doctor is q gal ua:e of the leading medical college ir tue south, the Medical Uniyersity of Alabama Unfortunately, said Mir Russell, this institution is not on tI,e list of reputable medical colleges kept by the state board of health and there fore it was required of him to take an examination. This the doctor refused to do He was a practicing physician Ia the state before the law in ques. lon was enacted, but he refused to take out a license simply because he had made up his mind the law was neither i1sr nor proper one. ''That is all there is to this" said MT Russell-.'mereIv q matter of principle. The doctor las been in consultation with the leading physicians of the city. He has come here to stay. His home is here. He has invested his property here and there is nothing against his reputa t;..n eitEer as citizen or physician" To this Attorney Durant answered that the doctor has defied the Medical soci- ety of this city and he has not com piled with the law. That was all that was to it from Mir Durant's point of view. and the law should be enforce l. The lowest penalty is S100 and costs and the highest $200 and costs and six months in prison, or both The de- murrer was overruled and the doctor was fined S100 and costs. An appeal was taken to the superior court, pres ent term, under bond of $500.
