Tho chairman of the nominating commit- teo stated that while Galveston, Tex., was recommended it was known that at'least one other eity had aspirations to entertain the convention. Therefore he would only mention Galveston, Tex., and allow the association to pass upon the next place of meeting. All the other nominations were then en- dorsed by the convention, Dr. Lewis casting he ballot for the several ofticers, From the New President, Dr. W. J. Galbraith, chief surgeon of the Union Pacific, received s great ovation when President Brock 1ntroduced him to the con- vention and for several moments the applause was deafening. = Dr Galbraith said: “Tam unable, gentle- men of the convention, to find language to sxpress and convey 0 vou my thanks for this grand honor which has come to me, 1 nuem the confidence you place in me most ghly and ask your forbearance, your help In conductiug the affairs of the office, 1 promise to do the very best I can. Again thank you." “The question then arose as to where the tonvention should mect next year and the rhairman of the pominating comwmittee samed Galveston, Tex. This brought Dr. Thorne of Toledo, O., to his feet, who sunounced that Toledo, O., was the center of the world, Old Point Comfort pext. That until today Galveston had never been heara of He stated that he desired to put in nowination Put In Bay as the place for the next convention. Dr. King captured the eye of the chair and proceeded to tell of the glories of the south land, ana parucularly ot the advanta- jes of Galveston as the place of muuufl,, D Thorntou of Texas somewhat excitedly onorary men rson #a1d that the & mistake in gol all the facilitios for iV R Dr. King. Dr. Thorne then withdrew Toledo from the consest and Galveston was selected witha chorus of ayes. On International Quarantine, Dr. Thorne, from the committee on interna- il.lmml quarantine, then reported the follow- ng: 1. As quarantine Is for the genoral g0od this quarantine should conform to tho general law. 2. Botng a publie service it should be done at public expense and not chargeable to rall- roads. 8. Railroad surgeons, the host agonts from their famillarity with the service and thus less ilable to ntorfere with train service, and thus leas 11able to interfere with travel. . Rallronds should supervise fumligation, aisinfection and care for affected travel. “I'he report of the committeo was adopted. Being in excellent working condition by this time the propositions of the Railway Ago to donate, first, $150, for the best essay read at the annual meeting of the conven- tion, or, second, to donate $100 to the best, #50 to the second and honorable mention to the third best cssay read, were taken up. The second proposition was carried almost unanimously. Then Came the Clinlos. Business over, the conventior. settled down to listen to A Case of Injury to the Bladder and Rectum,” propared by Dr. D. S. Fair- child, one of the most interesting cases ro- ported to the convention, Dr. Fairchild, in the opinion of such old practitioners as Dr. Murdock, showing rare surgical skill in handling the case. Quite a number of the ablest physicians discussed the paper, both from a raliroad and private practice stand- point, “The Sometime Farly Special Treatment of Diseases of the Eye' was the title of Dr. Joseph A. White's essay. It was u by several surgeons, who have predile toward ophthalm “The Responsibility of the Surgeon in Suits for Damages Against Railway Compa- nies” brought out an exhaustive paper by Dr. C. M. Woodward. Dr, J, B. Murphy of Chicago, assisted by Dr. J. M.

This button is a recent invention of Dr. Murphy's and designed for the purpose of lesseuing time, insuring results. and will make opera- tions on the bowel, that formerly were the bugbear cf surgery, as simple, less danger- ous, as cortain and even more rapid than the ur}l\vlrv‘\mu.inn of a finger. 0 yention would never make 10 Galveaton, which had d all the besutios claimed Iateness of the hour at which tho ion adjourned for dinner, due to the jon by r.

A delegate who had seen the demonstra- tion of the morning moved a vote ot thanks to Dr. Murphy and the convention passed it by a rising vote. A volunteer v wood of Conner: “Superheated S and Railroad Con The papers assigned to the afternoon ses- sion were referred to the committee on pub- lication, the essayists not being present. To Prevent the Spread of Cholora. Dr. Lewis of Kansas Ci discussion of the paper which r ticularly to the prevention of cholera. said that something must be done to prevent the spread of the dread disease. “If you, gentlemen, have ever gone through a scourge of this kind you know its dreadful effcets, Men dead within, two, four or six hours after infection. KEvery medical body of men in the United States owe to the hospital service in New York a vote of thanks for the offorts it made to keep cholera within bounds. The only perfectly reliable method ‘of killing the microbes is by superheated steam. This is a vital matter to us and the only safe anchor is superheated steam. Germ roasting machines dot our country for killing scarlet fever. smallpox, yeilow fever, and now these machines will be called upon to show if they will destroy cholera germs. He then moved that the as- sociation extend to the quarantine oficers of New York a vote of thanks for the eflicient manner in which they maintained the health of the country at a time when the scourge seemed so near upon the whole country. Against Nationnl Quarantine, Bofore the motion could be put to the con- vention Dr. Thomas H. Manley of New York arose to pay a flne tribute to Dr. Jenkins of the port of New York for his heroic efforts in keeping out the germs. He also stated that he understood that it was the intention of the association to pass a resolution asking that a national board of health be created. He hoped that sucha lution would mnot prevail, as the states quite able to take care of themselyes, Ho contended that the state of New York, if loft alone, would take care of the sproad of the discase. Dr. Manley's remarks precipitated the warmest kind of discussion. Dr. Thorne was on his feet in a moment and said that twenty-five years ago he was fighting against states rights and he was fightin, against the principlo still. He contende that this was a nation with a big N and snould look after the health of the country rather than the states in grave questions of this kind. He could not see why the gov- ernment should not protect itsolf against the cholera which threatens us. Livoly Spatting on States Rights, Dr. Murphy of St. Paul argued in favor of state health boards rather than leaving the question to the government. He stated that there was too much government and not enough state in the discussion of the question, ‘The resolution of thanks to Dr. Jenkins of New York was then adopted. Then Dr. Thorne moved that it be the sense of this convention that this question of protection against cholera be left to the national government. Dr. Manley was on_his fest in a minute, arm was in the air dnd with expressive voice said he hoped the motion would not prevail, that the state of New York was forever opposed to the paternalism of the older countries nor would she stand to have her autonomy broker. Then Dr. Rogers of Memphis roused the Tammany tiger hiding beneath the sleek exterior of Dr, Manley by an impassioned specch in favor of the question beiag directly referred to the federal government, He twisted the tail of the ‘catof the jungle” in grand stand style, asserting that the port of New York was in the vower of Tammany and one of its most fertile vote getters. Ho hoped the resolution would pass. Dr. Manley branded as higlly incorrect some of the statements made by Dr. Rogers and moved that the matter le on the table, But before & second could be heard Dr. Porter of Fort Wayne, Ind.,, mounted the platform and stated in strong voice that while he believed in the autonomy of the states he was more strongly in favor of the supremacy of the nation, u terse sentiment which caught the crowd. Tammany Principle Shut Out, Then Dr. Manley renewed his motion to lay on the table, and receiying a second the convention, by 8 decided majority, refused to entertain such a proposition and passed Dr. Thorne's motion that the matter should be left to the general government. There was considerable applause when President Brock declared the resolution carried, and the Tammany tiger ‘‘went in out of the wet."” The wives of the visiting surgeons then presented the following resolutions, which were adopted : Pursuant to a call the ladles accompanying the members of this assoclation wmet iu the arlors of the Millard hotel and passed the ollowing resolutions: Whereas, The managements of the railroads have extended to us the courtesies of free transportations, and thus enabled us to on joy the sixth annual meeting of tho National As- soclation of Ruilway Surgeons, including the oxcursion w Denver and Mot Spriugs; there- fore, be it Resolved.

Rarmo Crry, 8. D, June 2.—[Special to Tur Ber.]—KEver since the last election the democratic and assistant democratic members of the congréssional delega- tions from North and South Dakota, assisted by the party leaders who share, or would like to share, in the distribution of federal patronage, have been making quict but strenuous efforts to have the two Dakotas cutof from the Nebraska revenue district with a revenue agent at Sioux Falls and his assistants taken from various portions of the twostates. Today Tur Brr correspondent met Mr. W. S, Hall of the revenue service and asked him regarding the progress of the movement and the probability as to its being successful. Mr. Hall said: “I have understood that such a move was being made, but know nothing further about it and care very little, as it is none of my business. As to the probability of the dis- trict being divided, I have a decided opinion, and it is that the moyement will not he suc- cessful. My reasons for this opinion I draw from the history of the district. Senators Moody and Pettigrew, assisted by several congressmen, made a vigorous attempt four years ago to have the district divided and were unsuccessful. There was formerly a district of the Territory of Dakota, but on the abolishment of the taxes on matches, checks, notes, deeds, ete., and the reduction of the tax on tobacco and distilled spirits in 1883 the district was merged or consolidated into the districv of Nebraska, with headquarters at Omaha. It was done 4s a matter of economy. (Governor Pennington was_for many years collector of the district of Dakota. By the way, he is now publishing a democratic paper in Knox- Vi Tenn. This territory did not treat him right. He was from North Carolina, and during the war ran a staunch union paper there. The disunionists could not terrify or make him budge an inch. He was oneof the bravest men I ever knew and never got under the band wagon to speak his piece. If he had been duly appreciated here he would have graced a senator’s chair alm made a valuable representative for Da- ota,” “But about this revenue business, Mr. Hall?” When the Revenue fs Collocted. “The collections for the fiscal year ending June 80, 1883, fu the territory were in round figures $53,000. When Senators Moody, tigrew, et al, made the attempt in 1580 to have a district for the collection of internal revenue for the Dakotas, the secretary of the treasury called on the Omaha offico for the figures. I happened to be in Omaha at the lime and General Dennis nailed me to help him get them out. The accounts of the three states had been kopt under one head, and it was a good deal like searching for a needlo in a baymow. After working on the old and new records for several doys and finding we could not get exact ‘figures, we made an estimate and $52,000 was settied upon as the revenuo for the two Dakotas for the fiscal June 30, 1880, Since then tha ac been kept separate. The collections tor tho year ending June 30, 1802, for the district of Nebraska were closé to $4,900,000, of which the two Dakotas paid only about $42,000. The great bulk of the revenue taxes in this district are paid at Omaha and Nebraska City. The Willow Springs distillery at Omaha and the Nebraska City Distilling company each pays more taxes in one week than the two Dakows pay in ono year, Krug, the Omaha brewer, last year paid 8127,000. or over three times as much as the two Dakotas, and Storz and the Omaha Brewing association each paid nearly as much. “If the Dakotas were mado a separate district it would cost about 22 cents to col- lect 31, while at present the costof collection is abput 1 per cent. The salary of collector is based on the amount collected, the minimum being $2,100 and the maximum $4,500. Instead of new districts the next congress, I am informed by persons who should know, will cut the number of dis- wricts from sixty-three to about forty. It is proposed to attach Kansas to Nebraska and the two Iowa districts to Minnesota.” ““What about the collectorship?” “There are several candidates in the field: Senator North of Columbus, Cox of Lincoln and Jules Lumbard of Omaha. Patrick Wickham of Alexandria, S. D., would not refuse it and Dan Marrata of Bismarck is pushing his claims energetically. The choice will probably be between North and Marrata.” “Judging from the revenue returns how is firnh\!hulon working in North and South Da- ota?” Prohibition and 1ts Effects. “From a money standpoint it decreases the revenue collected, although it increases the number of retail dealers, for the reason that it drives out of the state the brewers, munufacturers and large dealers who alwa, y the most taxes. As o the moral side, prohibition prohibits here as much as it does elsewhere. I have been in every pro- hibition state, in Canada and Old Mexico, and wherover tried, except at some fow country crossroads towns, it is a dead letter. There are 1,079 retail and eight wholesale liquor dealers in South Dakota, five of the latter being in the Black Hills section. North Dakota has 333 retail and one whole- sale liquor dealers, an increase of about 81 cent since the prohibition laws were en- a sponding increase in population, To i rate: Take Nebraska, which has the Slocum high license law. The city of Kearnoy, a thriving, busy place of 18,000 people, has eight liquor dealers outside of tho drug stores. Here at Rapid City with, say 2,400 popula- ton, you have, including drug stores, twenty-two liquor dealers. Deadwood, with its 3,000 popu:lation, has within two of as many special tax stamps for the sale of liquor as Lincoln, Neb., with its 63,000 popu- lation. Beatrice, Neb,, has not as many liquor dealers as Sturgis in this state Lhnugf) Beatvice has over ten times the population of Sturgis. Prohibition Iowa has 4,000 liquor dealers to Nebraska's 2,200. These and many other like facts can be found in the last ‘annual report of the commissioner of in- ternal revenue. Prohibitionists can find very little consolation or euncouragement in the revenue returns.” il A bottle of Cook’s Extra Dry Imperial Champagne with your dinner makes i com- plete.

Higgins of the defunct First National bank of Ponca, was brought in yesteaday by Deputy United States Marshal Boehme, on a warrant based on the indictment returned by the federal grand jury a few days ago, charging him with com- plicity in the crooked work that resulted in the wrecking of the bank. Higgins is said to have assisted Frank Dorsey in the manipulation of the books, whereby the bunk examiner was deceived as to the exact standing of the institution. The arvest was) made yestsrerday morning, and the deputy marshal at ouce started for Omaha with his prisoner. It is stated that the a t of Dorsey has 1ot yet been made, but no information is ob- tainable at the office of the marshal as to where that individual is or when Dorsey will be taken into custody. ————— A Traveler Taken with Cholera Morbus, While Mr. T. J. Richey of Altona, Mo., was mu‘ulmg in Kansas he was taken vio- lently ill with cholera morbus. He called at adrug store to get somo medicine and the druggist recommended Chamberlan's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoes Remedy so highly he concluded to try it.

CITY'S PHOTOMETER PUT IN OPERATION Aro Lights Put to the Test Show a Candle Power Ranging From 700 to 1,100— Electriclan Cowgill Will Report Rosults of the Work. The photometer for the use of the city electric in making tests of the arc street lights for candle power has arrived, and the first preliminary test has been made. The instrument arrived Thursday morning and it was the intention to keep the fact from becoming public property, in order that Mr, Cowgill might make tests of the lights with- out the knowledge of any meddlors, or intorested persons. About 11 o'clock Thuasday night a Bee re- porter noticed several people in the conter of the street and thearclight at the intersection of Twentieth street and St. Mary's avenue was lowered nearly to the ground. The cen- terof attraction seemed to bs a nickel- plated instrument, duly mounted, that might have been taken for & suryeyor's instru- ment. The group was also taking note of the movements of a small man, who was rec- ognized as City Electrician Cowgill. He had ventured out alone at that time of the night for the purpose of ascertaining with the photometer exactly what sort of a light the civy is receiving from the Thomsen-Houston company, and fiad solocted the spot referred to as being very advantageous for his ob- servations and test, ‘The revorter ingered and did nov quit the company of the elec- trician until the test had been completed, the findings dotted down and the necessary computations made. Half the Power Pald For, The rosult of tho test was perfectly satis- factory and sustains the position of Mayor Bemis and other officials. . Fhey have con- tended that tho arc lights, which are required by the contract,with the com- pany to be 2,000-candle power, are not up to that standard and by a teskzvould not do- velop more than one-half that The test of the light at Twenticth stret and St. Mary's avenue developed o candle power of between 1,000 and 1,100, with a voitage of 68, The reading was made under the sost faverable of ciroumstances, and the light was given the benefit of every doubt. Several read. ings were made, and an ayepage was made, and the rosult arrived atdnthat manner. After completing the work there the electrician shouldered his imstrument and next stopped at T'weunty-fourth street and St. Mary’s avenue. Thoe arc light was lowered, a focus from an advantageous posi- tion secured and seversl“readings were made. This light was not nearly so strong as the other, and although nearly an nour was spent there it was impossible to secure a more favorable reading than the first one made, The candle power developed was be- tween 600 and 700, and it was impossible to secure a better showing. Features of the Photometer. No other lights were tested that night and the prelimnary trial gave the best of satis- faction. Mv. Cowgill has acquainted himself with the instrument and its workings and has it well in nand. He believes it will prove a success and that its accuracy will be fully establ He will follow up the work of testing and will make known to the council what he ascertains 4 ‘The photometer is an iustrument of Ger- man make, and this one came direct from Berlin. It weighs twelve or thirtoen pounds and is easily taken from ono polat to another. 1t is T shaped, nickel plated, and in appearance resembles a surveyor's in- strument. [ts workings are very simple and not nearly so complicated as an untutorec mind might imagine. Thoro are two cylin- ders, one being used for gazing at the light to be tested, and tho other to balance the standard candle burning within. In tho first oylinderare placod glass lenses, the number being dotermined by the intensity of tho light. They retard tho light and bring it to & minimum to bear meusurement. The rays of the light reflected through the lenso strike further back a triangular lense, located at tho junction whero tho other cylinder connects. The rays of light from the stand- ard candle also strike this lens, and u reflec- tion of brilliancy is thus secured, Within the ug the standard candle is a s, or sereen. This is moved along until the bright reflection on the triangular lens is obliterated. How Rosults aro Obtained. It is the balancing of a standard candle against an unknown light that brings tho result. The distance i in millimeters, the movab the number on the scale. Then the number of millimeters from the light measured to the first lenses is ascertained. he square of eachis then computed, and a multiplica- tion of the result with the retarding power of the lenses used in the measurement brings the candle power of the light. The accuracy of vhe instrument is war- ranted by the company manufacturing, who claim that the only error that can be committed is in ths reading by the observer. Prof. Heinrich, who has one of the instru- ments on exhibition at the World's fair, bas written that he will come to Omaha in case it is desired, provided the traveling expenscs are paid. After a number of tests have been made by the electrician and he is fully convinced of its responsibility and acouracy the coun- cil will probably take a hand in the matter, If the results prove the same as the prelim- inary ones, and the lights are found to be so far below candle power, it is promised by some of the councilmen that the bills of the eleztric light company will be cut down, and then fun is expected.
