Minutes.

ers was run last night. Lucy and Sadie
Wright, of Kankakee, accompanied by
their fiances. were the starters An
aunt had provided in her will that the
first of the nieces to marry should re-
ceive 5000. The sisters agreed that
they would have a double wedding and
divide the money
Sadie was betrothed to Mr.. Parkinson,
who lives in Centralia, Ill. and Lucy's
fance is William Weeks, of Kankakee.
But a hitch arosesin the double-wedding
arrangement. and Lucy surprised her
sister on Wednesday night by informing
her that she was to be married next
day. Without a word Sadie rushed TO
the telegraph office. and half an hour
later Mr.. Parkinson. of Centralia. was
reading this message:
Come at once Lucy about TO mar
~. Oh. do come. SADIE.
The last train for Kankakee had left,
but Mr.. Parkinson hired special train.
and in a few minutes was speeding over
the rails. arriving in Kankakee before
daylight.
But once here he found that his
fiancee had gone TO a farm house four
miles OUT IN the country. leaving NOTu

Finding preachers at 1890 a. m. was
not exactly in Mr.. Parkinson's line. but
he began a wild hunt for one and at
4 o'clock, with man of the cloth in
close captivity. started in livery rig

Before the sun was half an hour high
there was a telephone call IN the farm

MEDICAL SUPERVISORS
AGAIN REQUEST PAY
Report Contains Threat of Prosecution
Against Physicians Who Are Guilty
of Unprofessional Methods.

The sixth annual report of the Board
of Medical Supervisors of the District
Of Columbia was submitted TO the Com
missioners this morning by DR. J. B.
Gregg GUSTS. president Of the board.
The report is accompanied by recon-
mendations aiming at greater efficiency
OF the board as to its purposes and adj
ministration.
The board does not think it's members
should serve longer without compensa-
ton, and again requests the Commits
sioners to obtain from Congress an APP
preparation of $3.50 for this purpose.
The report follows. in part:
AT the beginning of the year they
had pending before them for action thir-
ty-One applications They received dur
ing the year seventy-seven applications.
Two of the applicants were refused ad-
mission to the examinations. Five with
drew their applications. Licenses, after
examination. were issued to sixty-three.
The subject of reciprocity in the mat
ter of exchange of licenses without ex-
animation has occupied much time. The
lack Of uniformity In the medical prac-
tice acts in the several States is 10 be
regretted. as st forms the chief barrier
to the establishment of the much de-
sired reciprocity. AS we believe that
the law under which we are or
gsnized is the most practical of any so
far enacted, we would recommend it as
. model to the legislatures OF the sew
eral States"
Regarding practitioners who ARE
openly using methods unprofessional
and dishonorable." the report says:
AT the request of the Commissioners,
and, after several conferences, the
board, under date of June b. in a letter
set forth plan by which the police and
law departments Of the District govern
ment may present and prosecute such
delinquents before the Board Of Medical
Supervisors. The recommendations con-
tanned in this letter have now been ap-
proved by both the District Attorney and
the Commissioners, ana we have every
reason to hope that berore another re-
port is made there will, at least, be no
more open and fragrant disregard Of the
time-honored rules of medical practice
and of the standards OF morality as
founded by the medical profession

WeiSer Club Suffer Defeat.

The Weiser base ball club went to
Ontario Sunday afternoon, and suf-
fered their first defeat this season
from that club. Three weeks ago
the Weiser club administered crush
ing defeat to the Ontarios in the city,
and went to Ontario expecting to
have an easy victory, but were sorely
disappointed The score was 10 to
5 in favor of Ontario In justice to
the Weiser club it must be said they
did not play their usual game. They
also assert that Ontario rung in two
professional players, who very
materially assisted in the defeat of
the Welserltes. The boys are not
downcast, but. will work the harder
to get even on the next game
