from beneath the door of the elevator
and alight on the first floor, after a
jump of ten or more feet. Then they
tried to climb out on the second floor

crowd collected and telephone girl,

TRUST At WORK AGAIN
American Medical Society Requires
an Expenditure Of $4,000
and also Big En-
Gowment.

The latest news from Des Moines
has it that the Drake University Medi-
cal school, which recently absorbed
the Keokuk Medical college, will shut
its doors at the close of the present
school year.
At meeting of the trustees it was
decided that the requirements of the
American Medical society were too
stringent and could not be fulfilled
The society calls for an expenditure
of $4,000, which also means that they
must have an endowment of $500. 900
This it seems they cannot procure
According to one of the men who
was connected in an official capacity
with the Keokuk Medical college
when it was here, this is just another
attempt of the great school trust to
wipe out the smaller schools and the
name OF this trust is THE American
Medical Society,"
when 1t wishes to crush small
school, publishes the schools name In
Its publication. The Journal, with the
statement that the school will in all
probability die out on account of lack
OF pecuniary support. This scares
away students, who would otherwise
have patronized the school
The society wants to kill all but the
great Eastern Medical schools which
are inordinately expensive and to
which the average. student cannot af
ford to attend. 1t is believed by this
same person after the lapse of some
years there will be no regular doctors
In sonic Of the less populous sections
OF our country for the reason fewer
and fewer of our young men are taking
up the medical colleges are SO high
priced that it is beyond their means to
go. Old women with their quaint and
curious natural remedies will be the
only medium through which we car
gain surcease from pain.

Judge Clements Opinion.

Judge Clements opinion.
The courts opinion in brief, is given
as follows:
The plaintiff asks for temporary
writ of injunction, requiring the de-
PENDANT telephone company to connect
with plaintiff company 1t is alleged
in plaintiffs petition that prior to
1908, plaintiff and defendant company
maintained connections by virtue OF
a contract and that during 1908, the
defendant wrongfully severed connec-
lions and refused to connect it's wires
with the wires of defendant company
While it is true it is not alleged that
the contract specified any length OF
time that defendant company should
maintain connections with the system
of plaintiff company Yet such con-
rections had been maintained and
operated for some length of time
prior to the time that the systems
We're severed by defendant. The de-
| PENDANT did not give notice of its IN
| tention to cut out the telephone sys-
TEN of the plaintiff, but summarily,
! anu WITHOUT uOlIC6, cGdSSu 10 Operate
the wires of plaintiffs system.
In the opinion of the court this is
an invasion of a right which plaintiff
| had and violation of the contract,
and plaintiff is being injured and dam
aged, the defendant having connected
! its wires with that of the plaintiff and
| operated the same must have been,
by virtue of some contract, expressed
or implicite, and the public, being in
terested in the maintenance of the
connections. the defendant could not
| terminate the contract at its will and
pleasure to the damage of plaintiff.
| Therefore, an order is entered for a
4 temporary writ of injunct ioncom-
/ handing the defendant to maintain
/ the telephone service heretofore ex-
listing between the plaintiff and de
/ PENDANT company.
The temporary writ is effective i'm
mediately, but case will come UP on
final hearing for permanent injunc-
ton at later date.
