Tendency Means Ultimate Hard
ship to Profession.

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 15.-There
is cause for alarm among doctors in
what he terms the socialjstic tendency
of the times, DR.. George Dock of
Washington university, St. Louis, told
the members Of the Jackson County
Medical society.
"The extension Of the government
ownership idea prevails even to the
control Of medicine in Germany and
Austria, and has been adopted to some
degree in England" DR.. Dock said.
"The result has ben to place the med.
ical profession on mere wage scale.
when such thing has happened
in staid old England. we may easily
see danger in the growing tendency
for this very idea in the United
States"

ORIENTAL LIMITED DITCHED;
EIGHTEEN PERSONS HURT
All the Ten Care of Great Northern's
Train OFF the Track-Wreck In
North Dakota.

Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 15.-
Eighteen persons were seriously in
jured, two fatally, and many others
badly bruised when the Oriental Linn
tied, the Great Northern's fastest
coast train, which leaves Chicago at
1915 p. m. daily, left the rails and
dashed into ditch two miles east
of Doyon, N. D.
So far as known no Chicagoans are
among the victims. The train was
running at high rate OF speed, and
that more casualties did not occur is
due to its splendid equipment. Spread
ing rails are supposed to have caused
the wreck.
Every car of the t"n-coach train
and the engine left the rails. Two OF
the unintnred passengers walked to
Doyon, where a Woodmen lodge was
found to be in session. The members
hurried to the scene, where they re-
lieved the injured until the arrival OF
a relief train with doctors and nurses
The relief train. with all the passen'
gers, arrived here, and the injured
are being cared for at the two local
hospitals.
The engine was thrown five rods
after turning over, and the coaches
landed in a "V' shape at the bottom
of the embankment.
The wreck occurred in almost the
exact spot Of a similar accident abou
three years ago, when several persons
were killed.

Refer to Haidan's Report.

London, England, Feb. 15.--The Sec
ond session OF the second parliament
of King Georges reign was opened
by King George with all the pic
turesque ceremony which marks such
occasions. The speech from the
throne, which had been anticipated by

great disappointment, because OF the

speech was short.

brought before parliament the king
said:
"A measure for the better govern.
ment Of Ireland will be submitted te

"A bill will be laid before you ia
terminate the establishment Of the
church in Wales and make provision
for its temperatures.

for the amendment of the law with
respect to the franchise and the reg.

This was all the king had to say
about the three measures which, ii
they become law, will turn state at.
fairs into new channels.
No mention was made of British re-
lations with Germany, nor was there
any reference to Viscount Haldane's
recent trim to RerJyn
No Interference In China.
Relative to Chinese affairs the king
said:
Il trust that the crisis in China
may soon be terminated satisfactorily
by the establishment of stable form
of government conforming with the

eminent will continue to observe an

THE ENDLESS CHAIN OF PRAYER

The Ed tor of the Graphic:
 It seems that we are never to see the end of the endless chain of pray CT wax and superstition. On the 18th inst. received the following unsiGn- ed communications:
 Our ancient Erayer Oh, Lold l .implore three to bless ail mankind and keep us from evil aud take us 10 dwell with thee.''
 Please don't break this chain. Sign no name This to be sent all over the world. This prayer WIS sent to me. It was said ill Jesus time that all who wrote it would be deliv- cred and those who passed it by would meet with misfortune. Copy them and send to Iine friends within nine days after receiving it and on the ninth day you will receive great joy.
 Things this kind are Il a par tvith the thoodoo and rabbit foot charms of il.iterate Il groes. The catholic church long ago condemned the use by her members of the end less chain of prayer as superstition and while I cannot speak with au- thority of the Protestant churches believe that they are of the same mind, It is hard to explain now intelligent christians can accept such folly as ttuta, when they know that all our prayers to God are made in the way of suffrage or petition and that we are rot at liberty to assume absolutely that they have been granted CT guar anteed anything of the kind to anoth- er One of the contradictions of our advanced education is that those who bewail most vehemently the supersti- lions of their grandfathers arc most deeply ergulfed in superstition them selves. The prayer in itself is ortho- dox but the guarantee which accom- panies it makes it's use superstitious.
