Milwaukee physicians are up in arms
against the So-called anatomical hill that
which proposes to give to the State Uni
versity the bodies of paupers and those
of persons whose relatives do not care to
provide blrial. The bill provides that
Immediately upon the death of paupers
or of persons whose bcdies are unclaimed
the authorities having charge of the
same. whether it be the coroner or sup
erintendents of the poor farms or asy-
lums, shall notify the chief of the aua-
tornical department of the university and
then, if desired, the hody is to be sent
to Madison to be used for scientific pur-
poses. at the present time the bodies
of psupers are turned over TO the various
medical colleges for scientific, purposes.
If the bill passes it WILL cut off the sup
ply of the Milwaukee medical colleges
to the great detriment of those institu-
tions, and win, in addition, result in ad
ditional cost to the county, for in addi-
tion to paying telegraph tolls the county
will have to pay the expenses of sendiHg
the bodies to the State University Act
ing President Birge of the university
has in mind the ultimate establishment of
medical school in connection with the
university. There was good deal of
talk of applying to the Legislature for
on appropriation for that purpose mt
the present session, Int 1t was deemed
inadvisahle because of the large appro
priation needed in other departments and
in making improvements Nevertheless
a sort of a pre-medical course has been
established. This course Is now feeding
the Chicago medical schools largely, and
if there Is preparatory medical depart
ment, with two years course, such as
proposed by Acting President Rirge, it
is claimed II will also operate as n feed
er for the Chicago colleges If the Mil
waukee schools are to continue 1t will
be necessary for thems to have bodies
with which TO experiment and to use for
the purpose of demonstration, but the
anatomical bill win pat an end to all
that.
Dean Henry in addressing the commit
tee on agriculture commented upon the
remarkable fact that ii was the farmers
and agricnlturists Of the State that were
asking for appropriations with which to
supply the agricultural college with
blooded stock and to make experiments
with tobacco. Heretofore it WAS neces-t
sary for DeaR Henry IL assume the en-
tire burden, but the agrieulturists have
become CONVINCED Of tie great value of
the college and one of the consequences
is certain to be that there will be little
difficulty in securing necessary appropria-
tions in the future. The farmers win
attend to that themselves. One visit to
Dean Henry's college is all that is neces-
sary to convert even the most sGepticaf
critic into an enthusiast; at least, that
has been the experience of members OF
the Legislature who have taken the trou-
BILE to make the rounds, The thing that
Is impressiug the members most greatly
is the intense practicabiity of the course.
The short course, that designed particu.
larly for the farmer boy, is particularly
commended, and the opinion is unani-
nous that IL will be but a short time
before the agricultural college will com
pletely revolutlonize the agricultural in
dustry, improving 1t in n way that would
be Absolutely impossible by any other
means.

chamber when Rev. H. w. Jameson
opened the proceedings with prayer, is
to be accepted as an indication Of the
feelings Of the members. the colored pop
