LOSS BY FIRE.
Cooney's Creamery Burned Tues
day Night-Tenant House
Destroyed.
TWO FIRES NEAR RISING SUN.

The creamery building at Hun
ter's mill, near town, owned by W.
B. Cooney, was burned on Tuesday
night, the origin of ,he fire being
unknown. The building was
frame structure, erected several
years ago by Caleb Conner who
operated it for some time and it was
afterward sold to Jos. T.SRiale at
receivers sale, who continued to
conduct a creamery until the adj
vent of the Sharpless condensery.
Less than year ago it was pur-
chased by w. B. Cooney who used
it as separating plant and ice
cream mandatory during the
summer months. The building
had not been in use since Oct. 1
and the supposition is that parties
were using it as a nightly rende-
zvous, as one of the street lamps
had been found taken from the .r5st
and used there. The flames were
discovered by Mr.. Hunter about
one o'clock and with the assistance
of few neighboring farmers and
town people the ,djoining mill and
ice house were saved, but the
creamery building and contents
were a total loss. Insurance to the
amount OF $1,000, in the Farmers &
Mechanics Company, was carried
oy Mr.. Cooney.
The small tenant house, known
as the Coudon property, located
near Pennington, and belonging to
VIM. r. Cameron, was destroyed
by fire about one o'clock Satur-
day afternoon. The fire is sup
posed to have originated from a
defective fne and spread with such
famed by the high wind
prevailing at the time, as to render
it impossible to save anything.
The house was occupied by a
colored family who lost all their
household effects, saving only the
clothing they wore. In addition
1876. 90 in money, which was in the
house, was lost, and about 300
pounds of pork, two hogs having
just been butchered and prepared
for winter. There was no in
surance on either building or con-
tents. The loss on the house was
about $500.

Medical Education.

Philadelphia Record.
The changes Of the past IS years in
er'cai education have been nothing
shor' Of revolution, ana yet at :,
conference Of medical educators In
Chicago ii was stated by one delegat,
taat ihee.fourths OF the graduates
were unit to practice medicine. The
condition q medical education In this
country 50 years ago was almost be
You'd belief. There were medical col.
icges IN Chicago that graduated two
c'assSs year. In a single town in
Northern Illinois nine men were prac.
ticilIg medicine, Of whom two had ii
plomHs ani the rest we're druggists
en- hospital stewards from the Army
and men who mad taken one course of
lectures. The immediate result of the
enactment OF tae Medical Practice Act
was the departure Of i,i0O practitioners
from the State, some of whom com.
pfeted their medical studies, but most
OF %hom rracticed where there was
not 50 much law.
At the conference IN Chicago the
other day DR.. Means, chairman Of the
judicial council Of the Association OF
American Medical Colleges. said that
the average man admitted to practice
was deficient In knowledge of hac.
terio:ogy chemistry. physiology and
ANATOMY. Fifty.eleht per cent. Of the
men in Is States who fail at their iina,
examination pass few weeks later.
"In the few days intervening where
do they get their knowledge? They
don't get it, They simply learn the
answers to the questions. and the SAME
questions are asked them at the re.
examination. Evidently the reform OF
medical education, although much has
been lone, Is not yet complete.
