SYNOPSIS OF A MEDICAL BILL: FOR

THIS STATE. 'f

A Protection Both to the Physician and the Community—X'he House Reports Favorably. ,"*v

'A bill regulating tlie practice of medicine Within the borders of this state has been introduced into the present legislature. The bill has been very carefully prepared, and is modeled after the best passages from similar bills which are in force in New York, Ohio and Kentucky. It seems to be the general opinion that Indiana has been the dumping ground of those persons who were incompetent to practice in Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan and Illinois. The reason for this is that all these states have excellent laws regulating the practice of medicine. The present law is said to be very good but does not cover the field. The prominent physicians from, all over the state have united in an effort to secure a law which is just both to the doctors and the community. The new bill referred to was introduced by Mr. Hawkins and was referred to the committee on public health. This committee has reported favorably and recommends that, it be passed. The provisions in the bill are as follows: "Certificates that the holders are entitled to practice medicine are issued by a nonpartisan board of five members appointed by the governor. "Four members are nominated as follows: The Sta^e Medical Society of each school or system of medicine the state may send a list of not more than ten names of its members to the governor, and he shall select from it the 'representative of such school.on the board. "The board establishes and records a schedule on minimum requirements for medical colleges and a diploma from a college which complies with the rules of the board, and a fee of $6 entitles the holder to a certificate.

An applicant presenting a diploma from a college not complying with the rules of the board may pay a fee of $25 and take an examination, and, if the same is satisfactory, Will get his certificate.

Persons legally practicing in the state when the law goes into effect may obtain a certificate by presenting the license now held by them to the board aud by paying fee of $1.

Certificates obtained from the board, as above, must be recorded with the clerk of the county where the practitioner lives and for a fee of 50 cents, the clerk issues a license giving the holder a right to practice in the entire state. Once a year the county clerk sends the state board a list of the licenses he has issued.

All money received from fees by the board goes into a separate and permanent fund, which is used only for the support of the, board, thus relieving the state treasury of any cost for maintenance.

Itinerant physicians, habitual drunkards, users of opium and other narcotics, procurers of abortion, persons convicted of crime or those guilty of grossly unprofessional conduct likely to deceive or defraud the public, may be refused license: and. if the same has been issued, it may be revoked by the board on proper proof of the facta

Certificates are issued to midwives Who have practiced ten years last preceding the passage of this act: also to those who present a diploma from a school of midwifery, satisfactory to the board.

Discriminations against any school or system of medicine are prohibited. The Act does not apply lo medical officers

James Murray Broustit Back. Deputy Sheriff Walsh returned from Jeffersonville last night and with him was a very sick man. It was James Murray, who was sent to prison from this city a few years ago and who is now dying with consumption. Murray was brought back on a stretcher. He was pardoned by the governor a few days ago but it is thought he cannot live. He was taken to the hospital where he was given a cheery room and the sisters in charge will do everything they can for him. Murray is the man who refuses to reveal the name of his parents, fearing they will learn of his disgface. Morton, the last of the porch climbers to be taken south, was landed safely in the penitentiary^..-

Representative Foraihell Has Discovered That Lobbyists Do Frequent the Legislature—Teachers' Life Licenses.

Special to The Ernresa.

Indianapolis, Feb. 3.—Governor Mount today sent his first veto message to the legislature. The same message covered two bills that he had vetoed", one for the creation of a Superior Court in Grant county and the other for the division of Howard and Tipton counties into separate judicial circuits. The three counties named are contiguous counties, and there was considerable opposition from Tipton county to the creation of a ,separate circuit. The governor suggests that instead of creating two new circuits a bill be passed creating the Superior Court ofc Grant and Howard counties, which he Believes would bring all the relief required in the litigation of these two counties. In his veto messages the governor quoted statistics to show that during the past two or three years there hid been a diminution rather than an increase in the litigation of these counties. In the course of his message, the governor said: "I believe I am not mistaking the spirit of parsimbny for economy, but seeking to be just, alike, to litigants and tax payers, when I suggest that, a Superior Court district composed of the counties of Grant and Howard and the giving of more of the time of theThirty-sixth judicial district to Tipton county will afford the needed relief."

The governor also suggests that the judiciary of the state is sadly in need of revision and that he believes that the judicial circuits might be so reformed ai to give all needed relief

redisricting o| the

present number of circuits. The veto message was transmitted to the house just before the adjournment for tje morning session and the

action

upon the

vetoed bills was deferred until afte th noon hour. Then the authors of both the veto bills moved their

passage

over the vetq

of the governor. The question was discussed at length and the governor^was sustained by a heavy vote.

House Passes Some Important Mills. The house indulged in a long discussion over a 7 per cent usury bill which came up on adverse committee report and the bill was saved by a heavy vote. It passed a biU for the establishment of county orphan, asylums and defeated

providing for the

working of jail prisoners upon the streets and roads. The Shively anti-trust bill was a. special order in the senate, but after being very briefly discussed it was recommitted to committee in order that the wholesale grocers and druggists, who object to its prpivisions/might ?hat#, a hearing.

It spent a long time discussing the bill by Senator Gilbert declaring invalid all mortgages that do not have the certificate of the assessor attached showing that they have been assessed for taxation. The bill was defeated.

The bill is as follows: "Whereas, The duties of the members.of the house of representatives and of the senate of the state of Indiana are delayed, annoyed and retarded by lobbyists therefore, "Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Indiana that it shall be Qhlawful for any person, persons, corporation or agent to engage in what is known as lobbying upon the floor of the house of representatives and upon the floor of the senate of the state of Indiana during the h^urs that each body is in session.

HE HAS MANY VICTIMS.

J. T. Baker, Who is Badly Wanted In Two Hoosier Cities. Yesterday morning the police received a letter* from an Indiana sheriff asking the whereabouts of a book agent. The agent is a swindler, and in looking him up it develops that he has been in Terre Haute and has left with several dollars in his pocket which belong mostly to the colored people of the city. The man, while here, sailed under the name of J. T. Baker but is known also as D. S. Zimmerman. He was selling, or rather pretending to be selling, an AfroAmerican encyclopedia, which was supposed to be published by a Nashville firm. William Daniels, colored, was one of the men to go against Baker's game. Mr. Daniels was promised the agency of the book and it was largely through Daniel's efforts that other colored people were induced to subscribe for the book. When Baker went after his victims he gave a glowing description of the book, showed sample copies and as an evidence of good faith required the purchasers to plank down 50 cents. Now J. T. Baker has decamped ^and it is said he is some $26 to the good

CUBAN REFORMS OFFERED.

The Spanish Cabinet Will Make Still Further Concessions. Madrid, Feb. 3.—The cabinet at a meeting held this afternoon considered the question of reforms in Cuba. The terms of tjie scheme proposed are uot fully known, bjut they are based on the bill previously passed by the cortes, though more liberal concessions will be adopted. Spain, however, reserves the right of making commercial treaties with, foreign countries in behalf of Cuba, the administration of which will not be so independent as has been stated in the United States.

The cabinet has finally agreed upon a scheme for Cuban reforms, which will be submitted to the queen regent for signature tomorrow. The text will probably be gazetted Saturday. The council of state will examine the programme for reforms after publication. The date upon which the reforms will be carried into effect will depend upon the progress of the military operations in Cuba.

BILL AGAINST LOBBYISTS^

Making It a Misdemeanor to Lobby on Legislative Floors. Indianapolis, Feb. 3.—Representative Fornshell of Madison county introduced in the house today a bill making it a misde^meanor for any one to lobby on the floor elf either branch'of the general assembly. The bill was referred to the committee on rights and privilfeges, and the author and other members will insist that it be reported favorably and passed. "It is a fact that we are so annoyed witfc lobbyists that it is almost impossible to do business at times," said Mr. Fornshell. "I believe it is time to take some action. Both houses have adopted a rule that lobbyists shall not enter the floor, but no one pays any attention to the rule. It seems to me that the only way to reach the men is by such a law as I have proposed

(SEN. SICKLES' DECLARATION/

He Will Personally Take Charge of Shipping Arms to Cuba. New York, Feb. 3.—In an address on the Cuban question delivered last night before the Brooklyn Democratic club in Historical Hail, General Daniel E. Sickles made the announcement that he was ready to personally take charge of a consignment of arms for the Cuoan insurgents. "I will personally dispatch them," he said, "and I will consign them to General Qomez. I would defy all interference, and IJwould be ready to accept all consequences fl6r my actions. I make this statement not in defiance of the law and of the authorities, but because I kuow that such an act Would be perfectly lawful and in line with the uniform decisions of the courts."

During the course of his address, General Sickles declared that because of our traditional position of not allowing any foreign fcower to interfere with the' Spanish rule in Cuba, this country has assumed the responsibility for whatever relief shall be given te Cuba from the oppression and wrong under which it is now suffering. He insisted that the United States owed it to civilization to interfere. He was' in favor of immediately recognizing the belligerency of the insurgents and ridiculed the idea that, a war with Spain might result therefrom.

How to Find the Circumference of a Circle Dr. Godwin, of Solitude, Posey county, is hear endeavoring to induce the passage by the general assembly of a bill to modify the Indiana text-books so that some of his ideas on mensuration may be included in the school work, says th6 Indianapolis News. The doctor is a physician and a mathematician. He has written a number of articles on mathematics, which have found a place in magazines devoted to that science, and has solved a number of problems in new and simple ways. He claims to have found a method for obtaining the true circumference of the circle. He claims that th© diameter, multiplied by 3.2 will give the correct answer, which he says the present multiplier, 3.1416 does not do.

MISS SHANKS' DEATH

ONE CHAPTER OF THE CASE IS NOW IN THK SUPREME COURT.

It Is the Old Claim off the Coroner and Involves His Right to Bold Two Inquests.

The Clara Shanks murder case, it appears, is never to end.. The Kellars have been acquitted, ghosts have been seen at Wolf Creek falls, there has been talk of lynchings and all such stuff, but even through it all the Hd story comes to the surface. The latest is an appeal by the board of commissioners of Fountain county from a judgment against it in favor of Dr. Elijah L. Van.Cleave.for services in holding an autopsy on. the body- of Clara Shanks in the summer of 18SA, filed in the Supreme Court yesterday.

The special verdict recites that after the coroner's inquest, which was held the next day after the body'was found in Wolf creek, there was.a public meeting of the neighbors, who believed that Miss Shanks had been murdered that at'the request of this meeting the coroner employed, several doctors, including the plaintiff, to assist at a second inquest Which was held at her grave about ten days after her death-..

This autopsy showed such evidences of violence that the coroner changed his verdict from drowning to death, at the hands of persons unknown. The board of commissioners refused to-pay him, on the ground that a coroner has no authority to hold a second inquest,. after, his verdict in an inquest held' over the same body has been returned and filed. Some of the other doctors have already compromised their claims by accepting a less sum' than Dr. Van Cleave claims.

A SCOURGE OF LA GRIPPE

Is" Raging Everywhere, Devastating City, Town and Country Alike. Nothing equal to it has ever been known. We have had la grippe before in this conn-, try in several well-defined epidemic*, but not as we are having it now. Everybody, everywhere, has it, has had it or is expecting to have it. In every paper we read of- it. Every one we meet speaks of it. Perhaps the worst feature about la grippe is that it is almost sure to leave consequences behind it which are far worse than the orig» inal disease. But it. could not have bees otherwise than that some things have bees learned, during these sieges with la grippe Untold thousands hare learned these things but a still greater multitude perhaps have thpse things yet to learn.

First, Pe-ru-na taken before each meal and at bedtimes will protect any one from having la grippe. Second, that Pe-ru-na taken every hour during the acute stage of la grippe will shorten its duration and prevent the long train of disagreeable consequences which follow the acute attack. Third, that in cases whera Pe-ru-na has hot been used during the acute stage and the victim finds himself dragging out a miserable existence from the damage to his system accomplished by la grippe, he has only to take Pe-ru-na according to the directions on the bottle to realize a speedy and complete cure. The explanation of this is that la grippe is epidemic catarrh. Pe-ru-na will cure catarrh wherever located.- It will cure catarrh of every variety and stage. Therefore it will cure la grippie, which is simply the epidemic variety of acute catarrh. During such a winter as this no one should be without a copy of Dr. Hartman's latest bcok which treats fully of la grippe, acute catarrh, chronic- catarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis, consumption and all other climatic diseases of winter.

RARE SKILL IS SHOWN.

Two Delicate Operations in Surgery Perv formed Wednesday. At the Union Hospital Tuesday morning there were performed two difficult surgical operations. One of them will be successful, but as to the other there is some doubt. Emmil: Blunk, the young son of John Blunk^ who lives on North Jfourth street, has beea" a sufferer for several years with an ailment the nature of which his parents could apt discover. The boy would draw his legs tip and complain of pains in his Gtomach. As everything administered to him brought no relief, the family physician was called and it was at once discovered that the lad was i, •the victim of appendicitis. ,•

He was taken to the Union Hospital and Tuesday morning the staff of physicians, Drs. Will E. Bell, L. J. Weinsteip and S. J, Young was summoned. It required but a glance at the patient to discover that he had been deprived ot expert attention. He had been treated by his parents too long to insure a successful operation, but as there was but one chance to save his life, he was placed on an operating table, and, under the influence of ether, the operation began. Dr. Bell used the knife. An incision two or three inches long was cut in the boy's stomach and it was at once discovered he was in the worst possible condition. An examination of the vermaform appendix disclosed the fact that it had been broken and that the puss which had at first formed in the intestine had been deposited in the abdominal cavity. The physicians used the fcnite on the intestine, drew the puss from the abdominal cavity, but they shook their head* as they did so.

The case has been allowed to go too long without attention. One of the doctors inserted his fingers into the abdominal cavity and by accident discovered the oause of the trouble. It was a bean, an ordinary whtte bean which had not Been well cooked, but which had been eaten by the boy and which passed off into the appendix. The operation was concluded and the boy made as easy as possible. He was still alive yesterday, but the chances are against his recovery as the abdominal cavity having been exposed to the puss fioni the verma from appendix is likej ly to have become poisoned, in which exentj.. there is no hope for the patient. Had the operation been performed three days sooner there is no doub^ but it would have been successful in every respect. -4
