The attorney general of Iowa has been called upon by the State Board of Health to answer many Inqulrleo that have como from the local beards concerning 'the enforcement of health laws , particularly the disobedience of the quarantine rules. Violations have boon the rule In Council Bluffs , but no pros ecutions have ever been started , largely for the reason that theie was some doubt as to the authority of the local police department. The attorrcy general gives It as hh opinion that under the statute H Is a criminal offense for any person to violate the regulations and rules made by a local health board. This In cludes clsobedlence to quarantine lawfully estibllshed. It Is albo the duty of the county nttornej to give advice and ccunsol to the local boards of health , and to prosecute per sons who violate the rules of the local boards and refuse to obey the order of quarantine. The pococdlrss to Impose a fine should be brought by information In the name of the btato , It being a criminal action.

Van Wormer , an engineer once well known In this city , at Webster City four or live vcars ago. Theio were two children , the boy In dispute and the girl. The court awarded the mother the custody of the girl , but neglected to make any kind of an order concerning tbo boy. The boy was taken by the father and eventually turned over to his friend , Overmojer , who Is nlso nn engineer , running a switch engine In this city. It was brought out In the evidence taken yesterday that the father had given the child to the Ovcrniejers with Instructors to keep the mother from getting him. In the meantime the father died and the mother married again. She has been endeavoring to come to some understanding with Jfr. nnd Mrs. Overmeycr by which they were to give up , the boy. Ho Is n bright , manly llttlo follow , and they have become very much attached to him and have consequently refused to enter- , tan ! any propositions fiom the mother , hence 1 the summary appeal to the court The do- 'fcndants ' allege that Mrs. Cunningham Is not the proper peison to have the care of the boy and propose to show It by evidence. i During the afternoon an effort was made to compromlfco the matter by submitting the j casa to the Judge on an agreed statement of 'facts ' , but when the statement came to be made up wide disagreements as to the facts arose and further hearing waj postponed until Satutday afternoon.

DBS MOINES , la. , Dcq. 2. ( Special. ) The clcelng of a sanltnrlilm In this city has caused a icvlvnl of Interest In the medical practice low of the state. It Is explained by the manager of the sanitarium that the cause of suspension was the severity of the medical practice act , but others say It was simply because of lack bf pationage. It Is stated that a number of persons are/ prepar ing to make concerted attack on the Iowa law relating to the practice of medicine before - fore the legislature next winter with a view to securing Its repeal. The law 71s It now stands requires that after'January 1 , 1899 , the Board of Medical Examiners can recognize no college as In good standing which does not require four full courses of twenty-six weeks each In separate years. The attorney general has decided that n& credit can be given for graduation from a scientific college - lego or university , and under strict construc tion no credit can be given for graduation In pharmacy , dentistry or veterinary medi cine. Referring to this requirement and the medical practice act In general. Dr. J. F. Kennedy , secretary of the state board , sajd : "There nro very few colleges In the coun try there Is not ono In Chicago , nor do I know any except those In Iowa that arc at tempting to como up to this grade. Without reaching this grade , however , their gradu ates cannot be admitted to examination after January 1 , 1S99 ; without examination no cer tificates can bo granted , and without certifi cates the penalty for practicing medicine In Iowa Is a fine of not less than $300 nor more than $000 , with the costs of prcnecutlon , and to stand committed to Jail until fine and costr nro paid. "H Is well that the medical colleges of the entire country should understand fully these requl'ementH as to graduation. Until Jan uary 1 , 1899 , however , all the conditions re quired after that date will not bo enforced. Any one , with or without graduation , may bo admitted to examination and , If success ful , rccclvo a certificate , and the four years' course will not be required of graduatca un til after July 1 , 1S98 , as previously an nounced by the board. The fee for a certifi cate or diploma Is $5. For examination It Is $20 , which entitles the candidate , In case of failure , to a re-oxanilnatlon without addi tional fee. No certificates ore Issued on "length of practice , " nor are they given to mldwlves. "Another feature of the n w law relates to Itinerant physicians In addition to the reg ular phjslclan's certificate required of all. These men are required to take out an itin erant phjslclan's llcor-ao , for which they pay Into the state treasurer's ofllco $250 a year. The fine for a failure to comply with this provision Is the same aa in case of practic ing without a certificate. "Physicians who , under the old law , re ceived certificates to practice under the five- year clause , and mldwlves who were per mitted to practice when the law was en acted , dn not have their relations disturbed by tbo now law. "A provision was Inserted In the now law exempting from Its provisions such physi cians as had been In previous practice in the state for five consecutive years th'ee years In ono locality but no requirement Is laid upon the Board of Examiners to Issue certifi cates to them. They are liable at any tlmo to bo culled on to establish bcforo the courts the right to practice , Testimony by oath or affidavit ot practice under the old law would convict them as bring law-breakers.
