THE MEDICAL BILL.

The medical bill introduced by
Senator Liable of St. Martinsville,
which was originally drawn by the
medical societies of New Orleans,
provides that no one can practice
the healing ar. without first hav-
ing a diploma drawn from a regu-
lar school of medicine. This, of
course. would deprive those who
have attended the School of OSte-
opathy from even going before
the Board of Medical Examiners,
who are. according to the terms
of the bill. to be graduates of a
recognized medical school.
On the grid of June this bill was
before the committee in public
hearing. 1t was so amended as TO
practically leave off those at pres.
ent practicing Osteopathy. With
those amendments there was no
objection to the bill by the Osteo-
paths or their friends. because
Hon. +. c. CLAIBORNE of Pointe
Coupee had introduced a bill for
the purpose of regulating the
practice of Osteopathy in the
State, providing for a Board OF
Examiners on the same line as
was provided fer iH the Liable
bill. When that bill came up foi
4 hearing, we find the authors oil
the Liable bill making desperate
fight against the Claiborne bill
We are unable to understand why
the medical profession SO bitterly
opposes the practice Of Osteo
pathy; they neither give medicine
uor use the surgeons knife. yet il
is a well known fact that they
have made some wonderful cures.
which appear almost as miracles
in their nature. 1t is well known
fact that the students at Osteo-
paths schools put in more time
on anatomy and physiology than
do the studerts at medical schools.
This same fight has gone on in
nearly every State in this Union
and the Osteopaths have won GU,
in thirty-four States.
Thefe are now nine regular
schools in the United States and
many of the professors of those
schools are graduates of the regu-
lar medical schools, who became
convinced that DIR. Stills theory
was correct and have adopted it |
We say let all of them, who CAM
relieve human ills, practice under
certain regulations, put out the
quacks in every branch and LEI
each branch look after the purifi |
cation of their particular line OF
their profession. We have too
many trusts now.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The people oHirs State assur-
eddy have pa,6ause OF Complains,
of any remissness. now want OF
application to strenuous work. Oh
the part of the members of tn,
present Legislature. Both branch
es have been working from nine
o'clock in the morning until mid
night. Such close application j,
not only wearing the legislators
to a FRAGILE, but is also an indica-
ton of their recognition of Their
responsibility to their constituents
and their sense of the pledges
they made to the people during
the campaign.
This application to legislative
work is unprecedented in the his
tory of Louisiana Legislatures. Il,
has been said of them that they
are very gluttons for work." So
earnest and persistent are those
who are chamPioning needed
reforms and beneficial enactments,
that those who are disposed to
shirk the duties or are opposed to
some of the measures introduced,
are afraid to vacate their seats for
any length of time for fear of
action being taken during their
absence.
The sixth week of the session
has drawn to a cl, Sc. A review
of the enactments introduced and
passed shows a most commenda-
BILE zeal and earnestness on the
part of the Lawmakers. If the
neople do not secure all the re-
forms and beneficial measures
they have demanded. they can
at least have the satisfaction of
knowing that their public servants
have been attending strictly to
business during the present ses-
sion of the lie ,lslalure.

Such servile subserviencv has
never characterized any political
organization such as the kepubli-
cans have displayed in the choice
of their Presidential candidate. 1t
is the very acme of the surrender
of personal freedom, individual
manhood and the exercise of in
dividual sovereignty to the diCta-
ton of the party leaders. Wha,
can be expected from the triumph
of such an exhibition of individual
dictation to the followers of a

How it is Done.

Does the average citizen OF a
live, wide-awake community ever
stop To estimate how the village
grows into the pretentIous town
aud expands into the thriving
business center. If he does not
ne should 60 forth and study
some Of the forces of nature and
grow wise with what he learns.
The mighty streams are the ag-
gregation of drops of water. The
sands of the seashore and the
lofty heights of the mountains
are the accumulation of particles
of earth. The vigorous and
mighty forest trees are the growth
of the years. None of these were
spasmodic in their fuliness.
Every second of time, amid OPP
posing forces, or favorable sur
roundlngs their climb was ever
steady, ever forward.
Here is the lesson. Never stop
because 1T has been deemed that
human progress will ever 60
onward without the motive power
to sustain and push it forward.
Material growth in human affairs
is but the reflex of the tx implies
taught by nature, even as the
stages of human life are typified
by the ever occurring seasons.
Hence if community is de-
sirous of growing and constantly
expanding. the unit members of
that community must put their
shoulders to tue car of progress
and accelerate its movements.
Whenever the business men of n
growing town conclude that il
will increase in population, facil-
ties and business Importance
without their individual assist
ance, right then and there they
are Gripping the machinery that
keeps it in motion, and to that
extent driving nails into their own
enterprises aud Gripping their
resources.
Public prosperity depends on
public spirit. Without it every
commercial enterprise will be-
obstructed and eventually dwindIe
into a mere skeleton. Do not for
moment hug the delusion that
the active few will spend time,
means, energy and efforts to ben.
eft the whole unless some effort
is made to sustain them in their
laudablc work.
Hence all matters that pertain
to the betterment of a whole
co immunity should receive the
e Enthusiastic support Of every
individual of that community.
The current of adversely can only
b, stemmed by pulling hard
.ainst the stream. 1t requires
ua;iy, grit, lib iality, persever-
a1ce. The seifishness that wraps
the citizen in the cloak of his
individuality without any though {
OF the welfare Of his neiyhbor.
will inevitably result in his
undoing. Get together, pull to-
gether, work together. The re-
S Its will be rs inevitable as that
the sun shines.
Ouacliita Valley Bank of
Monroe will make larger div
idends than any savings bank will
pay. Try them.

MAN LIVES LIKE AN APE.
Only Survivor of Wrecked Ship Found
in Belgian Forest.

Brussels-Through the efforts of
Baron Grynsdaal, the Norwegian
philanthropist, man who had lived
like an ape for II years in the forests
of Belgium and France has been re-
turned to his home in Norway. He
was the only survivor of the Norwe-
gian barque Mygrean, which was
wrecked in 1895. He had lost his rea-
son from the shock
When found the man was in the
forest of Soignies, where he had lived
for some time, and had inspired the
population in the neighborhood with
fear. Finally it was decided to form
party to capture him. He was seen
to be moving along very quickly,
jumping from branch to branch. The
men tried to seize him, but he got
away from them and successfully hid
himself in the thicket.
Another attempt-this one success
ful-was made by a crowd of villagers
who surrounded him. His body was
covered with short hair. He had flow.
| ing, disordered hair and a long, mat.
ted beard, resembling an orang
| outang. When seized he shrieked
but did not reply to the questions put
to him. The bread offered him he
ate ravenously.
The man was identified by the
medal attached to a string around hi.
neck bearing the word "Mygrean.
When he boarded the vessel for Nor
way the captain addressed him in Nor
wegian. The man was seized witt
violent emotion and tainted. When h,
recovered he was able to answer tn
captains questions sensibly and toll

into the box and the paper scraps ap-
peared to have once been receipted
bills.
AS it now appeared that the old gen.
tleman had died intestate the property
was divided among the sons and
daughters and Simon got nothing One
of the first acts of the heirs to the
property was to improve it by tearing
down the old woodshed and using it
for kindling wood. When they got to
the floor they found the nests of many
rats. In one of the nests was a sheet
of parchment. 1t bore the marks Of
teeth, as though the rats had tried
to tear it, but it was still intact and
the writing was legible. The parch-
ment proved to be the lost will, and
when it was read it was found that
the old gentleman had given all his
livestock, chickens, hens and his to-
bacco box to his grandson Simon. The
rest of the property was willed to his
sons and daughter.
The will was executed in 1881, when
Simon was ID years old. The lad was
a great favorite with his grandfather
and he remembers that he promised
to set him up in farming" The COWS,
hens, guinea pigs and tobacco box
were distributed over three townships
and Simon had to collect them after
the will was probated.

Logansport, Ind.-A big buck deer,

as ordered and the buck keeled over

Starlight, who is one Of the wealth
lest farmers in Cass county, has three
bucks and doe, ducks, pheasants and
other wild animals and birds on his
farm. He is an enthusiastic nimrod,
journeying into the north woods every
year to hunt deer, moose and bear.
The deer held in captivity are
trophies of various hunting trips.
They and other animals are permitted
to roam at large over Searight's broad
fields and woods and signs are posted
everywhere warning hunters to keep

One Of the bucks recently became
vicious. Previously all were very
tame and Starlight could approach
them at will. But this one buck in
particular developed an ugly Rtreak.
At first it simply fed when the own
er approached, but few days ago it
started new tactics and charged at
Starlight whenever he tried to ap-

The other afternoon the farmer
started to cross a small Enclosure in

no attention to the animals, but was
bent on getting to another part of his
farm. The beat of hoofs and the

buck which had developed the bad
streak. Starlight tried to scare the
animal off by waving his arms and
throwing small missiles, but the buck
stood it's ground, and then began an
other advance.
Searight now became thoroughly
frightened, and he turned and fed.
The deer followed, snorting savagely.
The farmer made for a nearby fence
corner with the buck close at his
heels. Nearer and nearer 1t ap-

and almost exhausted, fell into the
corner. The buck was so close he
feared to climb over and he turned
and faced the oncoming animal.
