for my defeat by Corbett," said Terry

may be something to that, and this

commission on the proposition of the
Panama Canal Company to dispose OF
its property to the United States for
$40,000,000 has been delivered to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The members of the
commission refuse to discuss the ma.
ture of the report, and like reticeukge
was maintained at the White House,
but it was stated on excellent authors
ty that the report unanimously recon.
mends that the offer of the Panama
Company be accepted The report,
it is stated, is very voluminous, going
into all phases of the question and at
tempts to meet the objections that any
legal complications will arise out Of
the purchase, or that there will be-
any international difficulties should
the deal be consummated
The report goes fully into the steps
which must be taken in order to in
sure perfect title to the United
States, for in addition to the present
Panama Canal Company. the old or
ganization and the Colombian govern
ment must be reckoned with The re-
port finds, however, it is said, that the
new company can give a clear title.
1t is stated that the report says that

no offer to sell to this government had
been made by the Panama Canal
Company. The offer Of $4,000, 900,
made in behalf of the company by M.

ton completely. 1t is further stated
that the report shows that little over
1000 shares of Panama railroad stock
is owned by individuals outside the
Panama Canal Company, and these can
be purchased for comparatively
small sum. Other obstacles to the
sale, the report says, also have been,

The revolutionary gunboat Padilla

City Physician of Webster City In a
Dilemma

DllSI1fT
Webster City, jan 21-The aston
ishing discovery has just been made
that DR.. H. G. Wheeler, city physician
of Webster City, is not a licensed ply
stefan and cannot practice medicine
without laying himself liable to prose-
,cution
The doctor has been arrested for
selling Intoxicating liquors contrary
to law. The evidence has brought out
most astonishing condition of affairs.
The doctor has based his defense up
on his legal right as physician to dis
pense intoxicating liquors for medic
inal purposes. This seemingly reason
able defense County Attorney Boeye
has knocked to the four winds by
showing that DR.. Wheeler actually has
no license to practice medicine. He
mas diploma purporting to come from
an Omaha school of medicine in 1861.
The Iowa state legislature. however.
in order to place the medical profess
sion upon higher plane, passed a
law in 1899 requiring physicians to pass
an actual examination before the state
board of examiners This Webster
Citys physician has failed to do yet
anu lOI llIee years SiASc tlS law cut
into effect has practiced medicine and
for year back been the city physician
and has acted in his official capacity.
Should the jury acquit him OF boot
logging, he is liable to persecution for
the greater offense OF having practiced
medicine without license. This
status of affairs has caused a sensation
in and about the city among the
doctors former patients.

FOR STATE REFcRMAToRY.
3enator j. M. Emnnert TO Introduce
. BILL


Bill.
Des Moines, Jan. Ex-senator j. II.
Emmert of Cass county Will father the
bill for the establishment of state
relormatory for men in Iowa, anl will
introduce the measure into the legisla-
ture sometime this week. Senator
Emmert introduced similar bill into
the last general assembly, but so late
in the session that there was not time
for proper consideration and it never
came to a vote. The bill which will
go before the legislature this year will
differ in some respects from that of
two years ago. 1t will be modelled
along the line OF the recommendations
made by the board of control in it's
recent biennial report, and the general
impression among members OF the as
sembly is that it will become a law.
The author of the bill, in speaking
of the bill, explained mat one of the
changes from the measure proposed
two years ago was that pertaining to
the age limit at which prisoners will
be admitted to the reformatory. In
stead of from 16 to 35 years. as pro-
vided in the measure two years ago,
Instead of excluding from the reform
atory all persons convicted of burg
larry, wrecking or attempted wrecking
of trains and murder, the latter crime
will be the only thing to debar convicts
between the ages of is and 81
from enjoying the privileges of the
refoEmatory institution.
The plan is to convert the present
penitentiary at Anamosa into a reform
atory to erect additianal buildings,
including a school building and work
shop or shops, where mechanic arts
are to be taught along the common
school studies and higher branches,
with view to both moral and phys
ical development. The measure car
ries an appropriation OF $4,000. with
which to cree. the proposed buildings
and carry out the provisions of the act.
