Des Moines. Sent. II. 1904.

Des Moines. Sept. II. 1904.
DR.. A. M. Linn OF Des Moines
makes rather an unorthodox medical
predication in an Interesting article
written for the September issue Of the
Iowa State Medical Journal Just is
sued. He declared that the profession
must come sooner or later to a full
recognition of the value of manual
| therapeutics as part of the science
| OF human healing. The medical pro-
fession has not been disposed to give
masseurs and others OF their class
any particular professional standing,
| nut DR.. Linn insists that they must
have place of as much. IL NOT more,
Importance as trained nurses. There
| is no method Of treatment" declares
| DIR, Linn, which Is not by right the
property OF the medical profession.
| The near future will probably see us
making larger use OF manual thera.
| peutics for the relief Of otherwise in.
durable cases."
Preparations for the national con.
vention Of the agricultural colleges
and experiment stations, to be held
In this city during the first week in
November, are now being made. The
programme will be ready within
short time. 1t Is expected that fully
$50 representatives of the leading
agricultural colleges and stations OF
the country will be here. Topics of
vital interest to agriculture will be
discussed by some Of the most able
| and best informed teachers. Secre.
tary e. B. Voorhees, of New Brunswick
N. j. and Prof. C. f. Curtiss of tho
Iowa Agricultural college at Ames are
now concluding the details for the
meeting.
Attorney General Mullan has trans.
mitted an opinion to the executive
council advising It that 1t has not
the legal power to sell lake bed ex
cept In conformity with the law pass
ed by the last assembly and which
requires complete survey of the bed
| and Its sale to bidders.
The officers of Storm Lake conceiv.
! ed the idea that the council could dis.
pose or the easement to a part Of the
bed OF the lake In that city and made
| application therefor. IL was referred
to General Mullan. He finds that the
| legislature has not authorized tho
| council to dispose of lake beds except
In toto and then to bidders.
General Mullan, however, called
the attention of the council to the
fact that the lakes are the property
| OF the state and Il has power to take
| Vb ataunr IL b.
| tect and preserve them, and to main.
tain their usual levels. To this end
1t might engage Storm Lake, for In.
| stance, to build dixie which might
be highway for the people along the
side of the lake there This Ia not
suggested by General Mullan but has
| occurred to persons who are familiar
with the view that the council has
power and authority in the law to
take whatever steps are essential to
maintaining the level of the lakes II
owns.
Steps looking toward the delivery
and use of voting machines at the
coming November election may be
taken by the county and city officials
before October l unless contrary and
unexpected action on the part OF the
council and board Of supervisors re.
suits to the contrary. At present
there is nothing In litigation which
will prevent the delivery of the ma.
chimes and nothing can work pre-.
yentive unless 1t be an Injunction
asked for by the opposition voting
machine companies J. G. Myerly, at
torney for tho Universal Machine
company, believes that the machines
will be delivered unless an injunction
is issued against the city. This pro.
cedure Is not probable since the
former injunction calculated to re-
strain the city and county from com.
pleting the purchase contracts, was
denied by Judge Brennan. The case
has been appealed to the supreme
court and decision from that body
| will effectively settle the controversy,
but 1t is not believed that the officials
will hold back because of the pending
| decision. Fifty-two Of the machines
| will be placed in use upon their dellv.
cry Every precinct In the county
will be supplied with one Of the new
voting devices and competent per.
son instructed In their use I'm order
that the voters may thoroughly under.
| stand them at the onset In form
the machine resembles a piano and
requires no more space than the ordi-
nary voting booth.
Commission men state the highest
price ever known for eggs is In sight
| for this winter and before the "lay"
Of the hen is known again next spring
housewives will have paid as high as
| SOC per dozen for the product of the
| hen. The fact that a corner practic-
ally exists in storage eggs and that
these were secured at the highest
prices ever paid for storage eggs is
given as the basis of calculation. At
the present time commission men
are paying 1870 for eggs, and the
best are being retailed at zoe, All
during the spring and summer when
eggs usually go less than 12hc per
dozen, the price has never gone lower
than 15c and has held most of the
time at 1Sc and zoe. Brief periods of
high prices have heretofore been
known when snowbound roads and
disinclined hens have caused prices
% go very high but never before has
the long continued high price been
maintained.
