As gladiators | they are doing nicely. Sgme of LaPorte’s business men re- | fuse to contribute toward paying for | street sprinkling, and the sprinkler | man passes sueh places by. He should. A ‘ Walkerton, so says the Independent, bas about half enongh money raised to erect & band stand. When they secure the other half, Bro. Endley will be Liappy.—Starke Co. Republican, Walkerton, so says the INDEPENDENT, has raised money ENoveH to build a bLand stand. BT 31 T S U ‘ Our exchanges all over the countr;' arp going wild over Walkerton's prospective band stand. What's the matter with you, gentlemen? Is it the first time you ever heard of such a thing? Now don’t eatnip when we tell you that the money is raised, and the plans and specifications are about completed for Walkerton's great band stand. Walkerton, you should know, is a progressive city. A AT TR N T ~ The fight over the law for killing eriminals by electricity in New York is having & good effect. A bill to abolish capital punishment has passed the lower house of the legislature by a vote of 75 to 18, and it is likely it will Dbecome the law of that State. - It is high time for an enlightened State like New York to quit setting an example to prove to its eitizens that killing people is right.—LaPorte Argus. commm——————— The annual meeting of the Brethren ‘chureh, l\_fuy 25, will be held near the city of Warrensburg, Johnson couuty, Mo. The place of meeting will be at Pertle Springs. The hotel at the Springs will accommodate several hundred people. The tabernacle wiil be enlarged and will seat 5,000 people. There are a number of other buildings on the ground for the benefit of the people. There will be 260 tents each accommodating ten or twelve persons. The DBrethren and friends will open their houses and farnish free lodging. The citizens of Warrensburg have also apgreed to open their houses and furnish lodging free. There will be a large restaurant, besides about four hundred feet of tables in the lunch stands and other boarding places. In this meeting will be represented all the Brethren churches in America, Sweden and Denmark. These yearly conferences are of great interest to the church and are conducted with great solemnity. —— Medical Practitiomers. In all probability there is not a person of adult age in any community in Ameriea who has not thought out a complete and perfect remedy for the ills that people suffer from medical practitioners who have not pursued the proper studies and arve not equipped for their work. The latest suggestion comes from a writer in the Christian Union, who thinks that every physician should be compelled to expose a sign giving his name, that of the medical school which gradunated him, and the year of such graduation, and he would have a salaried inspector, to be paid out of the public purse, of course, whose duty it should be periodically to inspact the signs and see that they told the truth. It ds suggested that young practitioners and those who came from “inferior” institntions would seriously object to being set before the public at such a disadvantage. To be sure they would, but there is a far more serious objection. The sugyestion goes upon the assumption that a man graduated ‘rom a renowned school of medicine must of necessity be a better physician than one who comes from one less known. Nothing could be further from the fact. If all other things were equal, it might be true. Personal adaptation is, perhaps, the most important ingredient in & good physician, and while it is true that the great schools turn out many excellent prac{itioners, it is also true that they turn out some very poor ones. On the ather hand, some of the most skilled physicians in practice to-day studied medicine . schools which, although doing excellent work, hold no popular esteem. The sign scheme will have to be laid away with a long list of others whose originators meant well, but | dgidn’t know. —Xx. i
