PLUMMER APPOINTED
Former Rock islander Made Chief
Surgeon of c., R. |. &
P. System.
POSITION Is AN IMPORTANT ONE
Succeeds Late DIR. w. ID. Middleton,
of Davenport, for Years
in Place.

Official announcement is made of
the appointment of DIR. S. {. Plum
mer. of Chicago, as surgeon-inchief
of the Rock Island railroad system,
succeeding to the vacancy caused by
the death of DR.. w. ID. Middleton, of
Davenport.
The selection of DIR. Plummer will
be gratifying news to his many
acquaintance here, marking, as it
does, one more step in the recognition
the busy world is bestowing upon
another Rock Islander, the new chief
surgeon being a son of the late DR..
S. c. Plummer, who himself had
served for years as the local surgeon
of the great system with which his
son now becomes so prominently
identified.
DIR. Plummer was reared in this
city, but since the completion of his
medical studies has been located at
Lueverne, Mimi, and Chicago. In the
latter city he is looked upon as one
of the leading members of his pro-
fession, though yet young man.
Interesting Coincidence.
An interesting coincidence is the
report that DIR. Plummer is betroth-
ed to Miss Louise Middleton, of Dav-
enport, n daughter of his predecessor
in the Office of chief surgeon.

The aggregate value of realty and

1862, O53, which gives gain in the last
ten years. of over 100 per cent. This
is an encouraging record indeed, and

PARLIAMENT PROROCUED
BRITISH LEGISLATORS TO REST IN
TIL nth OF FEBRUARY.
Public Events Reviewed in a Speech
by the king-Regret Expressed at
Necessity of Coercing Venezuela.

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-Parliament was pro-
rogued this afternoon by royal commission
until Feb. L. Only a score OF members
from the House of Commons was present
when Black Rod summoned the lower
house TO the chamber of the lords TO hear
the Kings speech. which was an unusually
recapitulation of public events, in
Guiding the action taken in connection with
Venezuela, regarding which the speech
says: ~ regret that the constant COM
plants which my government found it
necessary to address to the government Of
Venezuela in regard to the unjustifiable
and arbitrary acts against British subjects
and property during the last two years
have been persistently disregarded and that
Ii has become necessary for my govern
ment, acting in concert with that of his
imperial Ma jesty. the German Emperor,
which has also serious cause for complaint
against the republic, TO insist on measures
of redress"
The speech refers to the conclusion of the
South African war and adds: There seems
to be every reason to hope that material
prosperity greater than any the Transvaal
and Orange River colonies have yet ex-
perienced may visit these regions, and that
all sections CT the population may live to-
gether In friendship for each other and
loyalty to the crown."
Paragraphs deal with the postponed coro-
nation, the colonial conference and Colonial
Secretary Chamberlain's tour, which to-
gether are expected to be of the utmost
value in respect TO their immediate effect
and as precedents In the future.
Other topics touched on were the expedi-
ton against the Mad Mullah and the CO.
operation OF Italy therein, the acceptance
by Chile and Argentine of the British
boundary award, the Brussels sugar con-
vention and the alliance between Great
Britain and Japan, which the King believes
will be of advantage to both countries and
contribute to the maintenance of general
peace in the extreme East.
The Anglo-Chinese treaty is referred to as
promising to Secure not only for this coun-
, try. but for the commerce of the world.
valuable facilities and advantages" The
speech closed with reference to Inuia,
where the anxiety regarding another fam
Inc has been averted by plentiful rainfall,
and where the coronation durbar will be
associated with a period of unusual COM
mercial and financial prosperity. The
speech wisely omits the usual reference to
foreign relations.
