Webster City, April 1.-THE ,ohysi-

1t will be remembered that when the

ed the Hamilton County Medical So
ciety. Its field was not confined to
Webster City, but was to take ZIP the
whole county. The high schedule re-
fused to work and is now not adhered
to by any members of the profession in
the city. Asked as to specific reasons
why the combination did not hold one
of the eity's we'll known physicians
said: Its just like this. The people
won't stand for it-and there you are.
OF course when say that the people
wouldn't stand for 1t, mean that the
conditions are not favorable-and never
will be. Why, YOU take q large share
of our work and we have to charge
simply what people will pay. refer
to the middle and poorer classes If /
have bill which really should be 81,
in many instances 81 is all that can
get, trust or no trust. So what's the
use Of having set schedule, you can,
not use it, no matter how just ard rea-
sonable 1t may be. Then, too, much
of our work is done for nothing. We
make a charge, but it's never paid. A
schedule of prices is all right, but it's
simply impossible to make 1t iron clad"
There is some talk of organizing a
BARRIERS union here and putting the
price of shaves and other tonsorial OPP
erations about SO per cent higher.

ner of assessing police court fines
which went into effect at the session of
court held on Thursday afternoon. AS
a result, the time honored sum of $40
which for years has been set over

the offense of drunkenness has been
consigned to oblivion, and $3.50 will
take its place.
Mayor Northrup looked up the matter
of police court fines, when he entered
upon the duties of his office. and states
that he found nothing in the law to
make the marshals fee amount to $40.
the sum which has been placed almost
ever since Fort Dodge has had police
court. He says that the marshaPs fee
legally amounts to s1.S5. Substituting
this amount for the $40 formerly paid
the marshal the amount $3.50 becomes
the fine which will hereafter fall to the
