DOCTORS SAVE
CITY LARGE SUM
Striving Hard to Have Special
Tax On Physicians Abol-
ished.
ACCOMPLISH MUCH CHARITY
Is Well Known That in This
Alone Doctors Do Richmond
a Splendid Service.

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the
Richmond Academy of Medicine and Sur
gerry was held last night to discuss the
matter of having the city license tax for
physicians expunged from the ordinances
of the city. The physicians are feeling
very strongly in this matter, and 1t was
stated last night that their earnest striv-
ing In this direction has almost placed
the object OF Their desire within their
grasp. a steering committee, consisting
of Drs. j. Allison Hodges, r. d. Garcin.
Stuart Mcclure, j. Shelton Horsley, DIR.
Mark w. Peyser and Mcclure Newton,
meet tonight in the Office OF Or. Hodges
to discuss ways and means, and in the
meantime a circular letter Is being sent
TO every physician In Richmond to have
every one use his influence with the
Councllmen from every ward and with all
others that they may know.
| The physicians view the special tax
ontnem as arbitrary and as dscrimna
| ting against them in favor of the other
professions the followers of which are
not amenable to so many harsh and re-
stricting laws, and who from the stand
point of the veal of the city accomplish
| a far less amount of good.
The physicians of Richmond are SUP
| jected TO many laws which require them
to report every birth, every death, every
| pestilentlal disease which they may come
! across in their practice, and, in short.
| everything which, in the least, is cali
/ culated to endanger the physical health
I of the city. And yet, they exclaim. they
/ are taxed for doing good. For all this
/ there is no allowance made for the post
/ age or any other expense that may be
! incurred. All comes out of the pockets
! of the doctors.
Save the City Money.
| Besides this argument, they say is
| the fact that annually they save the city
| about $4,000 in caring for charity cases,
| and Il like amount which the city draws
as revenue and in other charity from
the medical colleges. In consideration
of these facts, the doctors feel that they
are somewhat imposed upon, and in
greater amount than the city fathers
have yet properly realized.
1t would seem, however, that the revo-
| cation of the tax is in sight, for the
/ Board OF Aldermen has already passed
| resolution absolving the physicians from
\ paying for licenses, and 1t now remains
! only for the matter to go before the Com
mon Council. In view of the organized
| enort which the Richmond Academy of
Medicine and Surgery has now in the
| field. 1T Is regarded as extremely unlike
| ~ that the lower body will fail to sane
] ton the action of the board. A spe-
| cial meeting of the Council has been call
| ed for Monday night.

Goldfield Property

Reno. Nev.--There was much excite
ment at Goldfield as a result of the
continued lot jumping in progress
there for some time.
George W. Haight, of San Francisco
a recent arrival, was the victim OF the
wrath OF two irate women. He laid
claim to two of the choicest lots in the
booming mining camp They were
owned by two young women Mrs
George Holfell and Miss Annie Regli.
The women protested against Haight's
actions. He refused to recognize them.
The result was they secured new
horseW hips and lost no time in apply
ing the weapons to the man who was
attempting to usurp their rights. Four
lashes were enough 10 cause Haisht to
seek safety in flight He sped for the
desert and remained out OF harms way
until the women we're paciaed In the
thought that they had regained their
property.
Haight has surrendered completely
and promises to allow the fair owners
of the claims TO remain In undisputed
control.

HAS AN AUTOMATIC SWITCH
Iowa Mans Device of Great Impor-
lance to Railway Men Exhibit
ed in St. Louis.

st. Loius.-William II. Smith, OF
Council Bluffs, Ia, is exhibiting in st.
Louis the model of an automatic rail-
road switch, which was patented
on January by Wlntherlich, Lund-
gard & Smith. The idea worked out
by the three was conceived by Hans ].
Wintherlioh, Dane, now residing at
Council Bluffs.
The switch is thrown automatically
by the fianges of the car wheels press
ing upon an extra rail. about 80 feet
in length, intended TO be placed be
tween the other rails at points conven-
lent to stations. When the train IL
standing one wheel OF coach is hound

impossible for the switch TO be thrown
90 that another train could come IN
on that track. The Hanges OF the
wheels by the same method would
throw a signal showing that the partic.
ular track is occupied.
The invention so far is perfected fol-
use only at stations. but Wintherich
has nearly completed the model of an
improvement designed to make the in.

Although this IL one of the smallest

One merchant alone here has shipped
nearly 10000 aud says he could use twice

The snares are made by bending a

The snares are baited and set every

Shared rabbits are much better than
those that are shot because they are not

sharing process has been going on for
several seasons, there seems to be an
abundant supply of rabbits, and one does
rot have to go out Of the city limits to
find them.
