FROM OVER THE STATE.

Dresden. April 2.-The mercury
dropped to Is degrees above the
freezing point and the fruit crop has

great.

of all kinds.

the IL districts.
The districts which have not def
nitely reported are the Eighth and
Tenth. IN the Eighth one regular

lette and one regular set of Taft

Nell Pickrell, notorious through

the boat from ST. Joe this forenoon.
Nell as a masquerader in the char
acter of a man has visited every town
of any size in the west, and during
her travels has carried a number of
aliases, but she is probably best
known under the name of Harry Liv-
ingstone. Her career has been check
cred and full of adventure, and from
time to time the strong arm of the
law has reached out to restrain her
in her escapades and its minions
warned her to move on to the next
station unless she desired TO suffer
the penalties that the law would in
fiict upon her If they should get II in
motion against her. She was well
fitted for the role In life she had
chosen to assume. She associated
with the men and among them passed
as man and made them her friends.
She associated with the women. who,
without question, accepted her as
sumed character as real, and she
made love to them and won over their
hearts. She has met during her adj
venturous and novel career men and
women of all classes. both the worst
and the best. She never was particu-
lar about her associations. II did not

MEDICAL BOARD ADJoURNs
Many Physicians Examined and Much
Routine Business Transacted.

Routine Business Transacted.
A business meeting held at the
Hotel Idaho concluded the three
days session of the state medical
board in the city.
The board has been holding the
regular April state examinations for
physicians who desire to practice in
the state of Idaho, and also transact
ed considerable other business that is
within their jurisdiction as a board.
The class taking the examination at
this session was large, numbering %.
The examining board stated that
with the exception of one case-that
of DR.. Raaf of Haily, Idaho-the ex-
aminations were all satisfactorily
conducted and disposed Of to all con-
cerned, and highly complimented
those taking the examination, pro-
nouncing them a very promising
class, and stated that among them
there were many who would make
their mark in the medical profession
and be an honor to it.
At the business meeting held last
evening a motion was made and car
ried that hereafter each applicant
must, before he is allowed to take
an examination, furnish the board
with his photograph in order to guard
against takers and frauds in the med
zeal profession. The board has not
experienced much trouble along this
line, but the boards of other states
have, and the board in view of this
and also some experience it has had
with men of this class in the state
deemed it wise to take the above
precaution. Several methods are
pursued by these imposters and fax
ers to evade taking an examination
before the state board. There are
men, it is said, who are experts, who
may be said to be professionals in the
matter of taking medical examina-
lions before the different state
boards. These experts or profession
ais go to the graduates of unrecog-
nized medical institutions, to those
who are utterly incompetent and can
not pass an examination, and for a
consideration agree to make appli-
cation and take the examination UNI
der their names. If the examination
is successful, as it always is, the H.
cense issued is transferred to the inn
poster and in the course of a year OF
so, after the board has changed, or
for that matter; in many instances i'm.
mediately, he moves into the state
and takes up the practice of medi.
cine. This fraud will, by the use
of photograph for identification, be
eliminated and the state be rid oil
charlatans and incompetent men.
The board passed a resolution oil

courtesy in giving them the use OF
