H. S. Caldwell was called to Elgin,
Nebr., last week by the serious ILL
ness of his step-father, Peter Chap
man, a former resident of Cassville
township and we'll known to many of
the older residents.
The good roads meeting which was
postponed a fortnight ago on account
of the inclement weather, will be held
on Thursday evening, April 2, in Con-
cert hall. Matt Metcalf of Glen Hav-
en-, will be the principal speaker. NAL
colin MasKinnon, of the Marquette
Highway Association will also outline
the plans of the Riverside Driveway
A large attendance is expected.
Consider Interstate Plan
Representatives of the Interstate
Power Co. addressed a public meeting
in the town hall Friday evening which
was attended by upwards of 100 cit
liens and taxpayers. The company is
extending its lines from Dubuque to
Buena Vista where it will cross the
river and continue on to Cassville and
connect at Bloomington. A right-of-
way through this village is one of the
objects the company has in mind, two
routes already being surveyed. The
village board will act on this matter at
it's next meeting. The most important
question is that in connection with the
company's offer to take over the pres
ont dirp0t ou1,ront iobt in cUctpO1 NH
nicipally owned, their offer including
a white way on Main street and sever
al oIher propositions which strike
some of our citizens most favOrably
while others are just as strongly OPP
posed. 1t is proposed to settle the mat
ter definitely at a special election to
be held some time in the near future.
Doctors, Here's Friendly Tip
If the recent experience of a prom
inent physician in a neighboring city
is any criterion, it will be advisable
for our NJ DIS to permanently tag and
label their patients for future identi-
fication
1t so happened that this particular
physician was visited by an individual
from one of the smaller towns who
complained of severe pains in the re-
gion of the appendix. An examination
developed that an immediate operation
was necessary. Obtaining the patients
name and address the surgeon took
the precaution to ascertain, by phone,
the financial standing and response
bility of the party in question, though
obviously, without his knowledge. Re
ceiving assurance that his word was as
good as his bond the physician ar
ranged for the patients removal to
@1o0 fol f1n lott web inn 1i1sfT1
as to the fee in connection with the
operation, after learning which he
agreed to mail a check for the
amount.
The operation proved successful and
in due time the patient was discharged.
After waiting a reasonable length
of time for his erstwhile patient to
make a remittance, for it seems doc
tors and surgeons likewise enjoy toy
ing with the long green, this M. D.
sent polite dun. No response. He sent
another. Still no response.
A short while after gentleman
called at the physicians office, anger
plainly written on his cOuntenance.
He identified himself as "Mr. So-and-
So" and demanded an explanation for
being made the recipient of certain
dunning letters "for service rem
dered." The doctor was flabbergasted
for this was not the individual upon
whom he had exercised his surgival
skill. Explanations followed. But how
the deluded physician is wondering
how he can locate the patient who
had his appendix removed on his gall.
