they consider that the city was in no

THE IOWA FISHERIES.
Muscatine Journai.l

One of the large industries in Mus
catine the beef trust does not hurt bit
and that is the Mississippi fish business
In fact, the meat trust has been the
cause of an increase in the business of
Muscatine's fresh water fish dealers of
about 80 per cent over that of last year.
May and June are the big months in
the fish business and dealings this year
have started out in q most lively man
ner. There seems to be all kinds Of ev-
idence of the fact that people have
passed up high priced meat in favor OF
fresh fish and as a consequence the sale
of fish is abnormally large. Fortunate
ly the supply at present is very large.
1t is better than for some years and the
dealers have been able to meet this in
crease ddemand without any particular
raise in prices. The business started
out little late this year on account OF
the low water. 1t has been known to
start up as early as the middle of April
but such was not the case this year.
Muscatine is probably the best fish
market along the river between ST.
Louis and st. Paul. There are two
prominent dealers who have their head
deai 'eiS HeleS. "a. Iiiilii' WIZ 10 LIZ
Oldest dealer on the river. and Con
Koehler. Davenport does not seem to
do much in the fish business. Burling-
ton has been improving lately and Clin-
ton is a fairly good market. Quincy
was at one time fine market but
seems to have fallen behind. The Mus
catine dealers cover very large ter
ritory principally west and south. Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Kansas. Nebraska and
western Illinois is their best territory.
There is no doubt but that the large
increase of fish business caused by the
present peculiar circumstances will be
of lasting benefit to the industry. It
will probably not keep UP but the deal
ers hope to hold a certain per cent of
the gain.

Several OF our American cities are
under a scourge. Hundreds have died,
and all Canada and the United States
have been threatened with loathsome,
eruptiye disease, simply because a
class Of ignorant and superstitious
people have refused vaccination. At
such a time, those who decline this
preventive deserve expatriation or
Imprisonment The law ought not TO
allow the prejudices Of one class of
people to endanger the lives Of all the
other classes. The reason that this
disease has not already Frustrated our
American cities is because the mercl-
full discovery Of Dr.. Edward Jenner,
an English physician, has been so gen.
orally applied to our people. What
that good doctor endured In order TO
project that protecting power upon
the attention Of the world is not ap
preciated. After making most salts
factory experiments, and being sure
he was right, be came 10 London in
ITgs, and met the most outrageous
persecution from some Of his " pro-
fesslon, and from the population In
general. Ministers preached from
their pulpits against vaccination,
pron0uncing II diabolical, and by most
people il was denounced as bestializ-
Ing.
The learned Dr. Pearson united with
the eminent DR.. Woodville 10 al at
tempt 10 bring the merclful art into
dlsrepute by incubation Of patients
before the vaccination had time q
take sufficient hold. Small wits
caricatured Edward Jenner as riding
ia a great procession on the back Of q
COW, and grave men expressed Il as
their opinion that all the diseases Of
the brute creation would be trans
planted into the human family; anG
they gave instances where they sal
actually horns had c0me out on th
foreheads Of innocent persons, ant
people had begun TO chew the cud
But the d~iscCverer felt he had a mis-
sion Of rescue for the world, and, moth
ing daunted, he went right on unit
the majority Of London practitioner
issued an applauding manifesto, an
the crowned heads OF Europe fayorabl
recognized vaccination. Then Par
lament voted $4,000 by way Of remu
neration for his expenses and by wa
Of reward. Afterwards an additions
500, 900 was voted him, and India sen
him a present Of s35, 900. But By tha
payment OF siS5,0O0 the world coul
not discharge its obligation TO tina
hero Of the healing art. II is est
mated that this n physician save
in fifty years more lives than all Ii
battles Of any one century destroyeC
No wonder that on Trafalgar SQUARE
London, a statue was erected to pei
petuate his name; but he was th
worlds benefactOr and the nealth :
Christendom is his monument. Let .
