HAY FEVER is
MEDICS TOPIC
Rock Island County Medical So
ciety Holds Meeting at
Watch Tower.
WILL DABBLE IN POLITICS.
Candidates From This District Are to
Be Sounded as to Their Stand
in the Legislature.

The Rock Island county medical
society held regular monthly
meeting at the Watch Tower last
evening and most of the physicians
the organization were present. The
subject of hay fever, its etiology,
pathology and symptoms and its
treatment was discussed. DR.. B. NJ.
Rinehart of Moline read a paper
dealing principally with the symp-
toms of the disease and DIR. Louis
Ostrom of this city read a paper on
the treatment of it. Both papers
were very interesting.
Following the reading of the pa
pers, preliminary steps were taken
towards the formation of a local
county society for the study and pre-
vention of tuberculosis. The organi-
zation is to be a unit of the Illinois
state society which was formed with
a similar end in view and which is
doing good work along those lines.
To Pledge Candidates.
A committee consisting of Drs. ].
r. Hollowbush. w. D. Snively and T.
j. Lamping,, the latter of Moline,
was appointed and instructed to ar
range with similar committee from
the Rock Island County Retail Drug
gists' association, for meeting be-
tween the two societies and The diff
ferent candidates from this district
who are seeking election to the state
legislature. The physicians desire to
put the candidates on record as to
what their stand will be on medical
legislation which might come up in
the legislature. At the last session
of the state governing body, a num-
Der of measures were proposed
which the doctors felt were inimical
to their interests and which it re-
quired heroic eXertions to defeat.
They desire this time to know the
position that will be taken by the
men who are to make up the legisla-
iUTe and they will support the ones
Who hold the-same view as the ply
sicians.

HOW ABOUT IT eovERNoRs

James D. Finch, Governor Dicker-
sons private secretary, seems to
have a mania for writing letters and
signing them, James d. Finch, Sec
rotary to the governor" When such
o letter is made public. one natur-
ely supposes that it expresses the
sentiments and opinions Of the gov
ernor on the matters discussed. The
ether day q letter signed
by James d. Finch. secretary to the
governor, was given to the press.
This letter was written to Senator
Newlands for the purpose of influence
ing him against the movement to
hold sessions of the U. s. district
court at Reno and Elko. We read
the letter and naturally supposed it
was written by authority Of the gov
ernor. But In Fridays issue of the
Reno Journal. Mr.. Fitch denies that
that the governor had anything to do
with his letter to Senator Newlands.
II that is true, James d. Finch,
secretary to the governor, should
sign his personal letters like any
other private citizen. However, he
may be too proud of his title to do
this. Secretary to the governor
does look swell in print.-Elko Inde-

ATLANTA THE CAMP.

We hope every reader of the Record
win read that communication from
man who recently visited Jarbidge
the new gold camp in the northern
part OF the state, which is printed
elsewhere In this paper.
According to reports, this new dis
trict Is attracting great deal Of at
tention; yet according to what the
writer Of the article referred to says,
the showings thus far made are not
Of . character which should cause
people to get unduly excited.
We understand q few Piocheites
have drifted that way in quest of gold
notwithstanding that we have an ex-
ceedingly promising camp nearer
home. In the northern part Of this
county, within few miles of the old
camp Of Silver Park is Atlanta. The
region was fairly well prospected
last fall and we have yet to see any
unbiased reports from Jarbidge to
indicate that the showing there can
begin to compare to those at Atlanta.
The Bray syndicate which took over
the Atlanta mine and adjacent grounl
under an option less than year ago
has spent . good many thousand
dollars in developing this ground
Great results have been achieved

CHOPIN LAUDED BY
FRENCH MUSICIANS

A French contemporary has been
collecting the opinions of present day
composers of the French school on
Chopin NJ. Claude Debussy says: Il
loved Chopin almost as soon as I began
to love music, and 1 have continued to
do So NJ. Vincent d'Indy expresses
the opinion that Chopin was an i'm
proviser unfortunately of genius
(fortunately)." NJ Tn. Dubois says:
However people may differ in the
opinion of Chopin's music, it is GER
tainly full of individuality, and Chopin
was a great artist" NJ. Camille Err
langer thinks Chopin lone of the most
original composers the world has ever
known, and his influence on ultra mod
ern music is obvious
M. Charles Widor, the we'll known
French organist and composer, recalls
the time when Chopin and Ambrose
Thomas were students together at the
conservatoire in 1882. They lodged next
door to one another and became firm
friends, seeing each other every day,
comparing notes and exchanging criti-
cisms.
One morning Chopin came running
into Ambrose Thomas apartments cry
ing, Quick, get up at once. The So
ciete des concerts is going to try a
composition by a young German who
has been recommended to me, and who
is said to be very good. Let's go and
hear it," The young German" was
Mendelssohn, and the composition
which was to be discussed was the
overture to Midsummer Nights
Dream"

Uncle of Lee Children With
draws Petition for Removal
of Lawyer as Guardian
Having Proved Falsity of the
Accusations HOefler Will
Resign His Trust
Especial Dispatch 10 The CALI

REDWOOD CITY, March 16.-Com-
Hoef1er of the charges of fraud, decep-
tion and misconduct in connection with
the management of the 100000 estate
of Mary A. Lee of San Mateo, William
McQuillan, uncle of the two children.
today withdrew his petition asking for
the removal of Hoefler as guardian of
the persons of the heirs. Hoefler there
upon announced his intention to resign
his position as guardian.
McQuillan and his associates intimate
to remove the Central trust company of
San Francisco as executor of the estate
of Mary A. Lee and guardian of the es-
tates of the two children.
A sensation was created in the court
room when Attorney John s. Hogan.
representing the persons who were at
tempting to oust Hoefler as the guar
dian of the persons of James and Mary
j. Lee, passionately denounced John j.
Barrett, chief counsel for Hoefler, as
liar. Superior Judge George H. Buck
ordered the belligerent lawyer into the
custody of Deputy Sheriff Charles Lor-
ton, with Ine alternative OF paying d
fine of $50. Hogan paid the fine.
Barrett had declared that Ubiquitous
accusations against Hoef1er had been
given to the press of San Francisco by
the attorney representing the opposite
side some days before the petition was
filed. and that the Bar association in
San Francisco is now investigating his
actions

that il Mr.. Barrett says 1 sent informa-
tion to the press he lies
When Barrett had completed his de-
NAL of the truth of the charges against
Hoefer, Archer Kincaid. acting with
Hogan for the petitioner, asked the
court to be permitted to put his wit
nesses on the stand, and called Mrs.
Eta NJ. Simpson.
81 shall not permit this to go any
further" announced Judge Buck. Mr.,
Hoefler was appointed guardian of the
persons of the children, and has nothing
to do with the estate. If you can show
that he wrongfully gained control OF
the estate I will listen to your testi-
mony.
I'VE propose to show that he was
practically the guardian of the estate
declared Attorney Kincaid.
| Judge Buck then declared that all he
wanted was to see the children reared
| and educated properly and that the
money proposition was secondary con
] sideration.
| At the afternoon session Attorney
| Kincaid made formal application to the
court to withdraw the petition agains
/ Hoeher, which was granted. Hoef1el

| his resignation in writing and hand i

REMARKABLE RIVER
CHANGES IT'S COURSE
Flows in Opposite Directions at
Different Times

In one respect the river Udong may
claim to be the most remarkable in the
world. For from December to June 1t
flows southeast into the Mekong, while
for the rest of the year it flows north
west into the Great lake, says the Lon
don Globe.
This curious river is some so miles
long and connects the Mekong with the
Great lake, which serves a reservoir
for it's surplus waters. Prom PENN, the
capital of Cambodia, lies at the juno
ton of the two rivers. During the lat
ter half of the year the Mekong is In
flood and its waters stand above the
level of the Great lake The Udong
then carries off the surplus waters to
the reservoir. When the flood subsidies
the water in the lake. now at a higher
level, drains off through the Udong into
the Mekong
