DELEGATES SELECTED.
Marion County Physicians Who Will
Attend State Society Meeting.


The Marion County Medical Society met
last night and selected delegates to attend
the meeting Of the state society, which will
be held at Evansville May p and %. The
delegates chosen are: Doctors Oliver. Clark,
Wilson, Dunning, Cook White. Graham.
Stilson. Kyle, Scott. Erlap, Kahlo. Cole,
Cline, w. NJ. Wishard, Bannhill c. E. Fer
gusOn, Moffett. Charlton. Scherer. Morrison,
Burkhart, Painter, John Wishard, Pfaf5in,
Potter, Wynn. c. Z. Wright. Ross. East
man, Nehrbas. Pfaf, Little, Alexander,
BraytOn and Noble.
DR. j. II. Oliver was selected a member
of the nominating committee. The address
before the society last night was made by
DR.. j. CT. Nehrbas, on "Hydriatic and Me-
chanic Therapeutics. The leaders in the
discussion were Doctors 5. p. Soherer and
j. Kolmer.
With this year the new plan of organi-
zation of the American Medical Association
goes into effect. The national organization
as now constituted is made up of the state
and territorial medical societies, the So
city of the District of Columbia and the
medical corps of the army, navy and Ma
rine Hospital Service. The state and terri
torial societies are made up OF their county
societies. Membership in the state society
and medical association originates in the
county society; thus the American Medical
Association becomes strictly a representa-
tive body of the American medical profess
sion. Members of the county society have
the privileges of the national organization.
The scientific proceedings of the American
Association are participated in by all MEM
bers present, but the general and legislative
business is committed to a house of dele
gates, about $50 in number. These dele
gates are selected by the various state and
other constituent societies. At the Evans
VILE meeting of the state society four In
diana members of this house of delegates
will be chosen. This plan of organization
OF the American Medical Association is
Ia that
Indiana State Medical Society has long been
working.

reply. Thereupon the man was told that

he was knocked down with the fist As
soon as he was on his feet the lieutenant
knocked him down again. When he had
been knocked down four times the Filipino
concluded TO give up the hidden rifles
That Is the nearest 60 cruelty that I saw
and II the man had not been forced TO give
up the arms they would have been used to

away. The United States authorities have
been too lenient with some of these people.
Why. one leader. after giving his word TO
annoy us no more, was arrested three
times with weapons. He should have
been shot when captured the second time.
Just think of those men in Washington

they cannot believe American officers

proposition stirs up

FIGHTING THE WOLVES.

Dispatches in the daily press give a brief.
but thrilling description of how a Western
man fought a pack of wolves to save his
wife. though the story dwelt more upon the
peril OF the woman than the courage of
the man. This is natural, for il is a part of
a mans duty TO stand between his wife
and peril. Ii is 20 be expected that If he
sees her in danger he will hasten 10 her
rescue.
Yet. curiOusly enough, the man who will
rush into "A burning building at his wife S
cry for help, face a horde of wolves in
her defense. will neglect 10 protect her
from need In case of his sudden death.
something he can easily accomplish by the
simple purchase OF "a life insurance policy
al a small yearly cost. This neglect Is not
that the husband Is unsympathetic or care
less. but because he rarely stops TO consider
what his loss would mean TO his family.
or II he does he prOcrastinates. thinking
that next year or next month he will surely
attend 10 this important matter.
Then. with no warning whatever, the end
comes and the wolves are at the door. and
all because the husband failed TO take the
precaution he owed 10 those he loved.

BLOWN INTO THE AQUEDUCT.
Woman Crossing Narrow Bridge with
Her Husband Is Seriously Hurt.

The high wind which ragged yesterday
came near causing the death of a woman.
Mrs. Shearer, living at 612 West Tenth
street, was crossing the aqueducJ over
Fall creek with her husband about o'clock
in the afternoon. When the pair had got
i'm the middle of the narrow bridge they
met three men coming in the opposite di-
rection. Mr.. and Mrs. Shearer stepped
aside to allow the men to pass. There was
very strong wind from the west and as
the country at that place is open there
was no obstruction to break its force. Mrs.
Shearer stepped slightly TO the rear of her
husband. and as she did so a gust of wind
caught her and whirled her into the canal.
Her husband was saved by grabbing an
iron rod. Mrs. Shearer fell into the water.
but as the canal there is in a trough it
is not deep. Shearer, with the assistance
OF the other three men, quickly pulled Mrs.
Shearer out. She was taken to her home
and DIR. Templeton called. He found that
one hip was fractured and one leg badly
bruised
