Compulsory insurance in Germany
has had a distinct effect upon the
medical profession. Many people cam
not choose medical advisers at will.
Physicians are engaged by the Off
Gals OF insurance organizations IN
fixed contract terms, which are usual
ly far below the minimum rate fixed
by law for medical services. The old :
time relations between physicians an
those engaging their services, relations
of mutual confidence and respect are
given away to purely business con-
nection, in which the personal equa-
ton is of diminishing Importance.
There is keen competition to secure
the posts of medical officers OF the
different insurance funds. and those
who secure them may be tempted. on
account of the very low scale Of fees,
to render perfunctory and inadequate
service. The stimulous OF doing his
best to win the confidence Of each
patient, as well as his family and
friends is no longer felt. on the part
of some of the insured 1t Is alleged
there is a tendency to abuse their
ability to command the services of a
doctor to an almost unlimited extent
and to summon him at any hour Of
the day or night on the slightest pro-

LABOR SITUATION QUIET.

The labor situation in this section
is very quiet just now, there being a
cessation in the great demand for help
which has prevailed during the past
summer here on account of the numer-
Gus public improvements under way.
The paving. sewer and water jobs are
now practically suspended and most OF
the surface work at the various mines
has been discontinued so that there
are now many men available, according
to a statement made by Leonard Nicola
of the Hancock employment agency.
Until more snow comes there will be
little doing in the woods, but just as
soon as there is sufficient to begin
operations the various camps will be
opened and employment furnished for
a considerable number.

Death OF MRS. HAMILI
FROM BLOOD POISONING

Mrs. t. B. Hamill, wife OF a well
known Hancock contractor, died last
night at about 10 o'clock at her home
on Superior street i'm West Hancock,
from the effects of blood poisoning.
Mrs. Hamill was native of Canada
and was 39 years of age. She is sur
vived by her husband and three chill
dren, who have the sympathy of the
community in their affliction. Word
of Mrs. Hamilrs demise has been sent
to relatives at ST. Paul, and when they
have been heard from arrangements
for the funeral win be announced.
The news of Mrs. Hamills death
came as a profound surprise and shock
to her numerous friends. most of whom
had not even known that she was Ill.
The Hamill residence was recently
quarantined on account of the illness
of one of the children with scarlet fe-
yer, and it was during this time that
Mrs. Hamill scratched her finger with
needle. The injury was so slight
and seemingly Insignificant that 1T
was not supposed that anything seri-
Gus would result and in fact the hand
was apparently entirely healed. when
a few days ago symptoms of blood poi
soning developed. She rapidly became
worse and on Wednesday Mrs. Hamill's
condition was considered very precar-
ious.
Mrs. Hamill was a member OF the
Hancock Methodist church and took a
deep interest in its various activities
and charitable and social work, and
she will be greatly missed by her circle
OF friends and acquaintances.

Carney and Stack, the crack bat

PRAISE FOR THE YANTic.
Lieutenant Myers Gives Out His OBJ
servations of the Cruise.

Lieut.. Myers, United States navy
who was inspecting officer with the
Michigan Naval Brigade on the cruise
last summer, has made his report to
the navy department. Commander
Goodell of the upper peninsula battal-
ion. NJ. N. B., has received copy OF
the report, from which extracts are
here made. Lieut.. Myers says of his
inspection of the Yantic:
Il inspected the Yantic and found
her condition to be excellent in regard
to cleanliness and neatness. The ship
had been painted preparatory to max
ing the cruise and not only looks well
but is clean throughout. Most of the
cleaning and painting was done by the
Hancock division of the naval militia
under the direction of Chief Boat
SWANS Mate f. Nelson. u. S. N, who
is a good man for head skipper, being
energetic and having proper ideas
about cleanliness and general ship
shapeness. He Is to be commended on
the good appearance of the ship. 1t Is
recommended that a carpenters mate
and painter be detailed for this ship In
place of two seamen now on her.
I'm handling the ship in coming to
anchor, in squadron, in going along
side of a dock, and in navigating
through difficult and narrow channels
the following officers are very prof.
cient: Lieutenant Commander III. s.
Gooden, commanding; Lieut.. A. F.
Rees, navigator; Lieut.. c. ID. Mason
and Lieut.. G.. T. Stephenson. These
officers all hold licenses as follows;
No. 1, master; 2, second class pilot;
3, master: 4. pilot, first class. The en-
gineer officers are very proficient In
their duties. Lieut.. Banks and Ensigns
Macdaugal and DeMass show great
adaptabiity for this work and should
become very proficient. 1t Is their In
tention to take examinations for IL
censes. All officers show an intelli-
gence and a Willingness to learn, which
is very encouraging for the future OF
the organization.
"If IL were possible to do so, 1t would
be of great advantage to have the ofh-
GERS and men serve their summer cruise
on battleships OF the North Atlantic
fleet. But as the expense for this
would probably be too great, it Is sug-
gested that the department send out
circulars to the officers of the nava
militia. indicating when they may take
short cruises on ships of the North At
,a..ta aaat Soveral officers have In
dicated a desire to take short cruise
on some man of-war, but have nc
means of finding out in sufficient time
TO what ship they may go. II 1t were
possible for the officers to take cruises
as mentioned above, II would be of in
estimable value to the naval militia or
