With increased attendance the six
feenth annual meeting of the Tri-
State Medical society continues to
'delve deeply into medical lore. AS an
added feature to the program last
Ievening, Rev. R. j. Locke, pastor Of
lthe First Congregational church, recit-
led the views of the clergy on the So
,cial evil, in which society was severe
lily taken to test for its attitude in
tOpenly approving and encouraging
crime.
/ The following doctors papers filled
with interest to physicians have thus
far been presented to the convention:
DR.. L. Drakely Hood, Des Moines;
Emery Lamphear, ST. Louis; Charles
If. Wahrer, Fl Madison; Daniel
DDoherty, Charlotte; Emil Reis, Chi
Ecago; Joseph l.. Boehm, st. Louis.
f,The discussion following the reading
Egenerally The paper Of DR.. Refs on
the pathology Of the Gall Bladder"
was the signal for considerable discus
ing Of the paper was accompanied by

was made very clear to the assembly.
BIames Society.
Giving an exhaustive review of
crimes against society from the early
days Of the Israelites to the present
time, Rev. R. J. Locke last night adj
dressed the doctors on "The Social
EVIL from the Standpoint of the
Clergyman," emphasizing the opening
iof industry to woman as one of the
many causes of the evil.

industrial progress gathers into it's

speaker Society gives them nothing.

they will never do any good working
on 1t until they begin to put into
their banal sentimentalism something
more than sop of goody-good words.

SWELL WEDDING.
Got a Fine Write Up From a
Green Correspondent.

Fifty years ago newspaper man
was not expected to write descrip-
ton of a swell wedding" without
he was present and knew what he
was writing about. It's quite differ
ent now. Prominence of one or both
families of the contracting parties
is considered as sufficient data for
the newspaper man to furnish col
umn notice of the affair He must
draw or. his Imagination as to how
lovely the bride looked, and if he is
fortunate enough to know the color
of the wedding gown he can do the
rest-with his vivid imagination
exhausting the entire list Of adjec-
tives in describing the heavenly beau
ty of the bride ETC., ad libitum. The
following is from the Kansas City
Journal, it is a novelty in that the
interpretations may be full of fact:
A political correspondent of a
Western Kansas paper was recently
asked to report a wedding which
was to occur in the town in which he
happened to be that night. Here is
the report the editor of the paper
got; "Amid scenes of spelndor and
sounds of sweet concord q suppose
that's the way to start OUT Victoria,
the beautiful daughter of Mr.. Mer-
rill(may the Lord forgive me,) was
married to Mr., Edward Post. Promp-
ly at 8 O'Clock the bride entereda Wis
ion in white. (I'll never do this again
as long as live. OF course, the bride
wore clothes, and there were roses
and music and things to eat; hut |
don't know where to put them ln.)
The brides father is a prominent
ranchman and the bridegroom is a
decent young cnap, which | suppose
should go in somewhere. Please don, {
ask me to write up any more wed
dings."
