DOCTOR ON DOCTORS BILLS.
Better Pay Needed, But Exorbitant
Charges Condemned.

Charges Condemned.
The question OF fees will probably
never be settled so far as strict def
niteness and absolute rules are con-
cerned, but there are certain broad
lines of sense and policy that may be
accepted as guiding decision in the ma
jority of cases. Charges, for instance,
by one physician for treating the fam
lily of another, we think impolitic and
unprofessional. e done it certainly
should be agreed upon in advance.
In recent case of different sort a
physician sent a bill to rich patient
which, in the subsequent adjustment,
was practically admitted by the physi-
clan to be about five times too high.
This plan has been often pursued in the
past by men who should have gone into
ward politics or the "bucket- shop"
business instead of medicine. We
know of a number of instances in
which such traders have charged
man several thousand dollars for serv-
Ices, we'll knowing they will get only
One-fourth or one-tenth of the amount,
and they would be we'll satisfied If they
got one-twentieth for the same service
generally. Such a method is neither
good business nor good morals.
The charge should be right to begin
with, and no compromise accepted. Be-
cause physicians treat so large a pro-
portion Of the sick without payment.
because so much of their life and en-
ergy must be given unrewarded to the
Advancement Of their science, and be-
cause in final analysis, their services
cannot be rated in money! values, they
should be far better paid than they are
But let us not assent to exorbtant
charges, those in which greed is more
than evident. and there should be no
foolish haggling and reductions and
compromises.-American Medicine

A Great American Woman,


1t is telling no secret to announce
that Miss Clara Barton is now seventy
two years old; that her hair is gray
and that her brow is wrinkled. With
all her age, with all the hardships and
, the times of trial through which she
has passed, she is still young in spirit,
still vigorous in mind, still active and
ready to respond to any call that may
be made upon her in the name of suf-
fering humanity. When, twenty years
ago, she organized the American Red
Cross Society, she little dreamed of the
work she would be called upon to do.
She it was who in 1884 led the relief
expedition to the sufferers from the
overflow of the Ohio and Mississippi;
she distributed the funds to sufferers
from the South Atlantic cyclone of
1888; did the same thing at Galveston
q couple of years ago, and it was
owing to her efforts and her good man.
asement that relief was given to the
suffering thousands in Cuba when the
war with Spain was over.
Few know Of the noble service she
rendered In the Franco-German War.
At the very outbreak OF that great
struggle she assisted the Grand Ouch
ess of Baden in the organization of
military hospitals; in 1871 she had
charge of the allotment Of work to the
poor at Strasbourg, and in 1872 charge
OF the distribution Of supplies to the
destitute of Paris. 1t is no wonder
that such woman is held in highest
honor abroad as well as at home, and

She is dark haired, straight and well
built, square shouldered and with mus

Of Samuel Phillips. who conducts a

Swanger volunteered her services
Going to the barn she took charge of

she unloaded the wagons, one every

hours, fifteen wagon loads In all
Next day she worked at the corn
shelter and shoveled In 1900 bushels of
corn on the cob in about six hours of
steady work. She did not do this as a
special task for record, but worked
steadily as an everyday affair. Miss
Swanger says exercise is the great
thing that American women need. She
Is fearless of horses and can master
any animal she has ever tried to drive.

French Praise For american Women.

Nine. Rejane rejoices that the woman
of to-day dares be Independent in
dress, that more than ever before she
can dress as her individual taste die
tates, fashions DEGREES being only sec

she attributes largely to the influence
of American women. French women,
she says, are cramped by prejudice and
made hypocritical thereby. The Amer

SEEKING A PARDON.
VIM. Beckman, Formerly Of Renville
County, Seeks One in Oregon.

e. B Hale has been circulating a
petition during the past week, ad-
dressed to the governor of Oregon,
asking for executive clemency in
the case of Wm. f. Beckman. form

later of Roseburg, Oregon, who in
1894 or 1895 was sentenced to the

Renville county for nearly % years
prior to his marriage to Mrs Ring

Oregon. his wife and her children
accompanying him. The conviction
was for the murder of his wife. Her
son also fell victim to the old man,
whom they had goaded on to the
wild act. according TO the testimony.
The sentiment at Roseburg, Ore
gon, as we'll as the county in which
Roseburg is located, has changed
almost completely since the convlc-
ton, and the people now seem to be
unanimous in favor of the pardon
and have addressed petitions to the
governor asking for the same. In

case for executive clemency.
In letter from one of the parties

er writes that Beckman has a good
prison record. but is in bad health.
His stomach in particular, is giving
him much trouble He cannot eat
the regular prison fare, but out of
his pension money buys extras,
which will agree with him. The
prison officials are all anxious that
he be released and sent to some re-
treat like Soldiers Home, which
has already been promised him, IN
case of a release. He cannot have
much more time on this earth, ow-
ing to his condition. continues the
writer
A strong case must be made be-
fore the Governor in order to obtain
the pardon. for the reason that the
otfense was really double homicide,
although a conviction was secured
on but one offense, and hence the
case is one for serious action on the
part OF the Governor.
