Several years ago, Mrs. Graham

Physician Pays Him Tribute.

Physiclan rays Him Tribute.
DR.. Fegers was a kind of man who
set he best example for the other
members of his profession" said
Keokuk physician to The Gate City.
He was hard student, and few
practicing physicians studied the sci
ence of medicine harder than he. He
was properly ambitious, but he did
not care to place himself above the
other doctors by pulling them down.
/ never was iii any sort of alliance
with him, and in fact, circumstances
placed US in opposition mostly, but
never knew of his doing mean thing,
or to act like small man. He was
shrewd, and anybody planning to get
ahead of him had plenty of work cut
out; but his contests were always
good humored and entirely free from
rancor There was not the least envy
mixed with his ambition; there was
not the least rancor mixed with his
successes; there was not the least i'll
feeling mixed with his contests he
treated all men we'll, and the bass of
his treatment of other members of his
profession was the golden rule. He
was an excellent example for the
younger members Of the medical pro-
fession to follow"
