The thirteenth semi-annual session of the
llertlcal Society of tho Missouri Valley me
yesterday nt tbo., Paxton hotel cafo with
fifty members .present, and others arrived
during tho morning. The meeting was
called to order by President V. I,. Traynor
oi uouncu HitifiB and Immediately pro
CPcded to tho discussions announced on the
program.
Tho first oancr Drcsentcd was by C. A
King of Dlockton, la., who discussed
"Chorea." This dlnaase. according to the
apcaker, is more prevalent with persons
between . the ageo of G and 15 years. It I
rathor to be considered a result of heredi
tary tendency than of any local cause. Tho
treatment should relate to tho primary
causes rather than ,lo tho symptoms.
Tho second pnper was by Dr. A. I)
Corners of Omaha, and related to ante
partum diagnosis. According to the ideas
of the speaker this subject had been too
llttlo considered by tho older physicians
ml It had remained for tho Investigators
cf tho .present day to placo It on a piano
vlth other branches of surgery.
Tulrrciisl In Dl'i'iiaxcil.
Tho third paper. "Treatment of Tubercu
losis In Sanatarls," by Dr. J. V. Klmo of
Fort Hedge, la., elicited considerable dls
cusslon. Tho doctor provpd to bo nn Icono
clast and endeavored tn shatter somo of
tho dearest theories held by tho profession
from tho days of Galen. In tho first placo
ho dcelared that all uttompts to kilt tho
bacclllus tuberculosis hnd been a failure:
that tho truo treatment was to mako tho
body of tho patient nu unhealthy breeding
placo for tho' microbes. In this treatment
sunshluo is tho greatest factor. Tho
peakor Illustrated this point by reference
to tno experience of tattle breeders, tuber
culosis being Unknown to cnttlo until an
attempt was mado to raise them In crowded
tables. Ho paid that tncdicino should bo
given to the consumptive' only under pro
test, but admitted that symptoms should
bo treated us ttey' ennio up; sevcro coughs
bo stopped, nfght sweating controlled und
no on. Ho further was of the oplnlou that
climatic conditions were an exploded fancy:
that no chango of cllmato would benefit
consumptlveH, unless tho chango took them
to a country where moro sunlight and fresh
air could bo secured. Ho advocated tho
forced feeding of patients and said that
In addition to thrco meals a doy tho con
umpllvo should eat from twolvo to twenty
raw eggs every. day, and might with ad
vantage tnko wine und beef tea between
meals.
Tho physicians discussed tho paper with
eorao warmth", but tho majority seemed to
bo of, tho opinion that tho Kort Dodge man
:now wnai no -was talking about.

fully prepared, paper on "Chalazia! Tu

opinion among tho members of the various
political parties as to how the names of can
illdatcB will appear upon tho sample and
ofllclal ballots. Tho city clerk Is the official
delegated by law to make up tho ticket and
on account of tho contention he appealed
10 city Attorney Lambert for advice.
Mr. Lambert went Into tho matter thor
oughly and It is understood that ho decided
that tho ticket should bo beaded by a tax
commissioner ami followed by the thrco
candidates for member of tho Hoard of Kdu
cation. The opinion of the city attornrv ulll
mosi iiKciy bo followed by Clerk Shrlgley
In spenUIng of this matter last evening Mr.
hlirlgley sold that ho wanted to do what
was right by nil parties concerned, but he
would most certainly bo guided by tho ad
vlco of his attorneys. It Is expected that
the mnyor s proclamation will bo Issued to
day and this will call for the election of
ono tax commissioner and thrco members of
the Hoard of Education. If the democrats,
who nominated u full ticket under tho nro-
vlslons of tho Lincoln charter, deslro to
break In they will havn to appeal to tho
courts In order to get the names of certain
candidates on tho ticket.
Thero Is very litllo Interest displayed so

DACOLOH, Island of Negros, March 21.
The Phlllppluo commission has not def
initely decided when to establish provincial
governments In tho Island of Negros. Tho
civil government established by General
Otis Is still In operation nnd fairly suc
cessful. Tho Negros government employs
a half dozen officers and an advisory coun
cil of eight, nil elective. Tho military
commander has an absolute voice.
Scnor Soverlnc, tho present civil gov
crnor, Is not popular and It Is nlleged that
ho Is un-American. Nevertheless tho sys
tern Is not criticised. The commission pre
fers to gather the sentiment of tho people
of tho Island nnd then to show reasons for
organizing Negros on lines similar to tho
organization of other Islands.
Juilgo Taft and his associates have be
gun to consider recommendations as to tho
form of general civil government, which It
Is notv believed President McKlnlcy will
order Inaugurated In July.

Webb Is heavily interested. Tho trip Is
generally regarded by western railroad
men as an advertisement for tho Vandcr-

will be spared to break tho records on tho
eastern roads, though It appears that no
special effort was mado on tho Union

AUvlneit thnt It Aot Deliberately
on the Plntt Amend
ment. HAVANA, March 21. An clement
douut now exists as to what will bo th
final nttltudo of the Cuban constitutiona
convention. The preponderance of publl
opinion in favor of tho Piatt nmendment
In tho last fow days Is having tho effect
on tho radical members and General Son
gullly's press utterances today further tend
to weaken tho strength of the radlcnls
General Sangullly was the most radical
of nil tho delegates. Ho favored dissolving
tho convention when tho United Stntes con
gress adopted tho resolution. Lately ho
nas expressed in private tho views, to
which ho has now given public expression
but few expected him to mnlntuln tho stand
Ho now says: "A literal Interpretation of
tho Plntt amendment might mean tho loss
of Cuban Independence, but tho liberal
view which President McKlnley nnd the
convention would give would leavo nothing
to bo feared by tho Cubans. 1 do not be
lievo that by waiting wo would got better
terms from tho next congress. Indepcnd
enco with somo restrictions Is prcferablo
to u contlnuanco of military rule, which
would Btircly follow a rejection of tho Piatt
amendment.

"If tho Americana want the Isle of PIhcb
I am lu favor of giving It to them. I nm
also lu favor of establishing coaling sta

inoriiy oi tno united atates would bo a
guaranty of our Independence so far as our
exterior safety is concerned and would savo
us tho expense of maintaining nn army and
n navy."
The committee on relations did not re
port today. Probably It will submit Its ru
port tomorrow. Tho view asserted In the
report that the resolution establishing rela
Hons cannot bo settled by tho convention,
bur should bo left to tbo future republic, Is
llablo to causo a brenk In tho radical ranks
Tho conservative clement Is endeavoring to
keep tho convention from taking n final
vote on tho question until n commltteo has
been appointed to wait on Governor Gen
