IOWA BILL FOR LEGAL
MURDERS WAS A JOKE
Absence of Dr.. Gregory, Supposed
Sponsor of Measure, from House
Nearly Spoiled Hoax.

Des Moines, March 1.-THE intro
duction in the house yesterday after
noon of the so-called Gregory bill'
for the removal of incurables was a
joke which came near miScarrying.
Dr. Gregory and some of the other
medical men in the legislature had dis
cussed the matter in a spirit of pleas
antry, and, without the knowledge of
any except possibly DIR. Gregory, the
jokers prepared the bill and nearly ev-
cry big newspaper in the country was
furnished with advance copy" of the
story, to be used yesterday morning.
The measure was patterned after a
similar bill which has been before the
Ohio legislature in recent years.

A PECULIAR SITUATION.

The public lighting of Astoria is in
a peculiar situation The Common Coun-
sci now has under consideration two or
three propositions emsnating from the
Astoria Electric Company, or rather,
one proposition with several phases,
namely, bids upon contracts of two,
three and FIVE years; and there is in the
field another concern, about to initiate
a franchise, the real value of which is
the public lighting element Of it. which
cannot be utilized for some time to
come. The older company has signified
the kind of service it intends to render
in the event it is given an adequate
term Of future service and the sample
of light furnished in advance seems to
be a decided improvement on what has
been in use.
The real question at issue with the
council seems to be, for how many
years shall the new contract be drawn
Two years means that the old system
win be prolonged; three years means
that il will be bettered in the character
of the arc service; five years might
mean good deal more in the way OF
improvement, since the company would
be disposed to do more for the city If
it had time and profits to measure such
amendments by.
Then arises the further proposition,
that if the fve-year term is granted,
the new concern may feel that its
franchise value has been mitigated to a
point of minimum profit and take no
steps to inaugurate its electric service,
and 50 put the question of competition
utterly out of running. And competi-
ton is the breath of lie in public ser |
vice contracts.
Three years for the pending contract
seems to be the happy medium in the
matter with the council, and perhaps
they are right, but it is exceedingly
unfortunate for the city that it is de-
MED the advantage of wholesome COM
petition in this important case. The
Whipple- Clinton franchise was granted
in the hope that this very phase of
business might be made feature Of
the new lighting contracts that were
due to arise this year; but this city,
like all Others granting franchises, has
met with the same de.ultory treatment
from its benefciaries that invariably
happens. The people to whom the adj
vantage is granted dawdle along for
nine months before they turn hand
to avail themselves of the first item of
value attaching to their privilege, and
then make plunge at the last moment
to save the gift their own laches has
forced to the verge of cancellation; and
having saved it, will probably sit down
for another long season. or until the
next date for doing something shall roll
around and compel further action.

From the London Gable.
The healing power of music was the
subject of a lecture delivered in London
seribed how different melodies can be
used in the treatment of certain disor-

There is distinct connection between
music and medicine" said DR.. Meachen,
dating from the first recorded instance
of musical decentralization David played
before Saul to soothe his madness"
The lecture was illustrated with music,
and DIR. Meaehen explained the effect on
patients of the different pieces. Thus,

causes the blood to flow more freely
whereby the digestion is stimulated Thus
the good effect is seen of an orchestra at
meals"
DR.. Meachen quoted cases where music
had cured a child of screaming fits, re-
duced feverish temperature and soothed
the insane and he declared that the
banjo had cured in three days an ap-
parently hopeless case of neurasthenia
He also believes that music is a cure
for alcoholism.
