AT McINTOSH'S BLUFF.
The Commissioners Have Selected that
 Site for the River Bridge.

The joint meeting of the bridge commissioners of Clark and Ne vada counties was held yesterday. and Mclntosh's Bluff, on the old Rome road, was selected as the site for the new bridge across the Little Missouri River, to be built by the two counties.
 The committee met at the Bluff about S:30 o'clock, and consisted of County Judge Denman and Commissioners Britt and Me Raeof Nevada county, and Judge Hardageand Commissioners Ross and Hughes of Clark county. From the Bluff a trip was made through Clark county, stopping at Hayes crossing, and the Oko- Iona crossing. At the latter place the Commissioners crossed into Nevada county and went up the river about mile to inspect a point there. The crowd then re- turned to the Bluff and vote was taken which resulted as fol lows:
 For the Bluff 1.
 For Hayes's crossing ,.
 Those voting for the Bluff were, Denman, Britt Hardage and Hughes.
 [ For Hayes's crossing: McRae and Ross.
 The bridge to be built will cost about S8, 1000, and will be put in just above where the ferry at the Bluff is now located. On this side the abutment to the bridge will be raised about four feet, while on the Clark side a cut of some eight or ten feet will be necessary. However, Clark will get none of the river bottom, while Nevada has about B. of a mile to grade and drain.

Hot Springs, Nov. 12.-"Only S3,000 remain to be raised by the citizens who are boosting the Hot Springs end of the interur- ban," stated General Manager L. Carat to Gazette reporter tonight.
 Hot Springs is no longer a stumbling block in the way of the accomplishment of our pur- pose, as it has formerly been considered, but has responded nobly to the cause of the men who are boosting for improved transportation facilities, and has arisen and thrown down the gauntlet to Little Rock, which is battling to raise the amount pro- portioned to that city"
 Col. s. W. Fordyce, president of the Little Rock & Hot Springs Western, a competing steam line between here and Little Rock, attended a citizens mass meet ing last night and gave an impe- tus to the movement by sub scribing S5,00O to interurban stock.

LETTER FROM DUNAWAY
he Clears Himself of Any Wrong
 Doing in Religious Matters.

se views in school, and that | have been distributing religious litera, ture among the children. Such reports are false, as you will find out by asking the children.
 My life has been an open book to the people of Prescott. I've never said or done anything that I'd be ashamed for you to know.
 I've worked hard to build up a good school in Prescott. I appre- ciate every kindness shown me by the board, the patrons and friends of the school, the teach CTS and the pupils. The hearty cooperation of the past should be continued in the future.
 l must confess that some of the things said about me have been very cutting, and more than once, alone in my room, the tears could not be kept back.
 It was said publicly that the people of this town ought to rise up in their might and put down such stuff as is being taught their children. Whether this was a thrust at me or not, many peo- pie took it that way. People are at liberty to say what they please about me publicly or privately just so they keep in the bounds of the truth. l plead guilty of teaching, outside of my regular work, the following things to the children:
 (D That every boy can be and should be a perfect gentleman, and that every girl should be a perfect lady.
 @ That all children should cultivate the beautiful principle embodied in the golden rule.
 (3) That our characters are de termined by what we do. Sow an act and you reap habit, SOW a habit and you reap a character, SOW a character and you reap a destiny"
 (4) That every act of life should be from principle. Do right be cause it is right, and not because we have to do 1t.
 These and many other moral principles, I've held up before your children, both in precept and example, and I'm going to be slow in believing that you ob- ject.
 In matters of religion, 1 give every body the same privilege 1 take. Study to show yourself unto God" (not mem, and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" are scriptures very dear to me.
 You are cordially invited to visit the school, inspect the work and give us all the encourage ment you can.
 The first term examinations close today. Nearly all the pupils lre doing good work. A new school catalogue is being printed and one will be sent to every nome. We cordially invite you to read it, and cooperate with us in the Prescott school sec Dnd to none in the state.
 0. l.. Dunaway, Supt.
 On tomorrow there will be pub lished a statement, signed by all the pupils in the 9th, 9th, 10th and 11th grades that the above is true.

Form Of Government.

Washington. Formal notice has
been received from the provisional
government of Honduras, that Sept.
Is next. the anniversary of the politi-
cal independence of Central America
has been set as the date upon when
Honduras will return to a constitu-
tional form OF government. adopting
the provisions of the constitution Of
1894. An election will take place in
October for permanent president.
and 1t is understood that the leauing
candidates are General Davila, presi.
dent OF the provisional government,
and Dionlsus Gutierrez, formerly a
member Of the cabinet and long promi-
nent In the political affairs of Hon
duras.
The decision to return to a perma-
nent form OF government was un-
doubtedly the result of the refusal Of
the state department to recognize the
present provisional government Of
Honduras upon an application several
weeks ago of Senior Ugarte. who
came to Washington for that pur-
pose. The departments reason was
that recognition of provisional gov
ernments Of this kind tended greatly
to stimulate efforts at revolution In

A PECULIAR ALLIANCE.
That Made by the Doctors and the
W. c. T. v.

For the purpose of fighting patent
medicines the doctors, as represent
ed by the American Medical Associa-
ton. have made an alliance with the
w. C. r. u. who have been deceived
into believing that the alcohol In pat
ent' medicines Is menace. In this
alliance the good ladies OF the w. z.
T. U. are apparently put In the posi-
ton of dragging chestnuts out OF the
fire for their allies. There Is no class
SO firmly convinced Of the necessity
for alcohol in medication as the doc
tors who, with few exceptions, not
only prescribe 1t freely but use 1t, as
indeed they must whether they would
PIE to or not, as solvent and pre-
sentative. On the other hand the
w. c. r. U. contends that the whole
medical and pharmaceutical world Is
In error; that alcohol is not only use
less but that 1t Is dangerous and
harmful in any quantity In any medi-
cinal preparation. While their princi-
pies are so wholly at variance the
doctors and the w. c. T. U. ladies
have cheerfully allied themselves in a
war on patent" medicines, and the
w. G. T. U. is placed In an even more
ridiculous position by reason Of the
fact that the doctors do not confine
their fight to those medicines which
contain alcohol, but lump all patent"
medicines in one class. And this, too,
despite the fact that, according to fig
ures printed in the Journal of the
American Medical Association, about
70 per cent of physicians prescrip-
lions are for patent" or proprietary"
medicines.
The inability Of many physicians
to prescribe any but ready-to-use rem
edles Is frequently commented upon
by the medical press, and by physi-
clans of the better class when assem-
bled in conventions. That three
fourths OF the physicians graduated
each year in the United States are In
competent and peril to the com
munities In which they practice was
charged openly at the annual meeting
of the Committee on Medical Educa-
ton OF the American Medical Asso-
citation, held in Chicago in April Of
this year. The total number of grad
yates annually was placed at 1000
which means that at least 1900 in
competents are turned loose annually.
1t was stated at this meeting that an
average, of IS per cent of the gradu-
ates from medical colleges failed to
pass state examinations. These fail
ures either go back to school, or so
to some state where the requirements
are not SO high.
That many doctors are 80 ignorant
In matters pertaining to pharmacy
that they know nothing about the
properties OF the drugs they prescribe.
was stated by DR.. M. Clayton Thrush.
. professor in the Medico- Chirurgical
College at Philadelphia in an address
before the Annual Convention of the
American Medical Association at At
lantic City In June of this year.
DR.. Henry Beats. Jr.. President Of
the Board of Medical Examination
for the State OF Pennsylvania, in an
interview in the daily papers said:
About one quarter OF the papers
show degree of illiteracy that rend-
ers the candidates for licensure in
capable of understanding medicine"
lie criticizes the colleges for award
ing degrees In these cases.
