Following DR.. Wichterich's address
DR.. Grinstead, formerly of Southeast
Missouri but now of Cairo, declared
that the doctor attends his conven-
tons for the purpose Of learning
something new in the medical science
by an actual contact with fellow scien-
lists in all parts of his district.
He cited instances where physicians
had learned many new disease symp-
toms in convention assemblies, and as
consequence had been enabled to
treat their patients for what was
wrong with them.
He then took up the ethics and
newspaper situation that had been
opened by DR.. Wichterich.

at an early hour this morning by
Patrolman George Talley when the

several negroes and group of five
young white boys on Frederick street
in the rear of the Broadway moving

Some of the companions of Green
were brandishing beer bottles as
weapons, Talley said, when he arrived
at the scene of the quarrel. He or
dered the white boys to continue on
their way, and when the negroes hest
tated to dispense at once, Talley
grabbed Green. The negro resisted
the officer and Talley subdued him and
took him to the city Jail.

Liahtina London Streets.

In 141G citizens were obliged to hang
out candles on dark nights to illumi-
nate the streets. This was enforced
by an act Of parliament in 1861. In
1854 Edward Heming, the inventor Of
oil lamps, made daring offer, which
was that for u proper consideration he
would engage to place a light before
every tenth door on dark nights from
@ p. m. till midnight. His proposition
was accepted, and he was given the
exclusive right to light the streets as
indicated for term Of years. But tho
scheme provoked great uproar among
the people. Some Of them enthusiasts
tically applauded it and hailed Heming
as the greatest benefactor the city ever
had. Thousands of other furiously de-
nounced him and his scheme and de-
manded that the contract he Cancelled.
Heming held on, and in time the peo-
pie became reconciled to having the
streets lighted. In 1876 the city gov
eminent assumed the responsibility.

CLINTON COUNTY REvoLTs..

1t is said the officials of Clinton
county will absolutely refuse to accept
the construction of the law as made by
Attorney General Cosson to the effect
that voters must register In order to
vote at the special election on the
equal suffrage amendment. which will
be held on the same day as the rcgu-
lar primary. The reason assigned is
that; the people have been burdened
with taxation growing out of the pres
idential primary but recently held. We
areainclined to believe that it will be
better to see that the law is enforced
fort then the people will have an oppor-
tunity to discover just how stupid the
legislature was in passing the law and
the sooner it is tried out the sooner it
will be repealed. When some OF the
ref0rmers who have been dominating
legislation in, Iowa for the last few
years are swept out of Office then, and
not till then, may we expect something
in the nature of sanity in law making.
When it becomes necessary to bond
the state to raise money to pay the
expenses of the primaries to settle
all the fool questions which may arise,
we Imagine the people of Iowa will
come to realize that 1t would be econo-
my to dispense with many Of the re.
forms which have found their way into
legislative enactments.

Muir Could Drive a Bargain.

Most people know that the famous
naturalist and writer, John Muir, left
a substantial fortune behind him when
he died, but few perhaps are aware
that during the ten years he dedicated
altogether, to business lie was known
as the hardest man at a bargain IN the
whole of California. "As bargainer,"
writes Arno bosch, "John Muir was
pure Scotch. Muir had the biggest and
most dependable supply Of Tokay
grapes in California. The San Fran
cisco jobbers bought his yield to meet
their regular shipments to the north
and east. There were at that time
four big fruit jobbing houses in San
Francisco, and they tell tales yet, in
Commission row of the bargains John
Muir drove with them. He was never
known to name price first. Whether
he was selling grapes or land, he tried
first to find out what the, other man
was willing to pay. But he always
had a price In mind, and he got it. 1t
made no difference what was the mar
ket price Of grapes. He made the job
beers pay what he expected"

rive posTmAsrER,s SUCCESSOR.

When you see two or more demo-
Gratis in earnest conversation on the
streets or in places of business you
will understand the question under
consideration is how far the question
of a selection of successor to our
present popular postmaster has gone
1t is said that Mr. G. L. Caswell is not
an aspirant for the place; that he does
not even think Of being a candidate
for the office. He is said to be quite
well satisfied with the position of sen.
ator from this senatorial district and
to fill the position Of field secretary of
the editorial association. Under the
circumstances and because the posi-
ti0ns which he now fills and that of
postmaster are incompatible he valves
his right to the latter office and is
willing it shall go to some other prom
inent and deserving democrat, and
therefore generously consents that Carl
Caswell, his son, may become the new
postmaster for Denison. This, no
dOHbt will please the rank and file of
democrats in DenisOn as they have for
a long time turned the local affairs of
their party over to Mr.. Caswell's di.
rectiOn and management until now
they are unable to help themselves.
We congratulate the editor of the
Bulletin for his success as a political
boss.
