took the opportunity to urge upon the
doctors that they co-operate with the law
yers in order to secure a better system of
presenting expert me1ical testimony In

afforded much room for Improvement. Re
ferring to the high standing of the pro

specialism and specialties. In his opinion,
the family doctor would always remain as
the mopt Important part of the profession.

fraternity of Intellect, no less than that
sympathy of feeling by which our life and
vocation ns physicians are beautified and
ennobled. Of no profession are the Inspired
words more true than of ours, that we are
"memlers one of another." The ideal of
our profession is that of complete and
thorough oneness. What Is scientific truth
for one is scientific truth for all. YVe have
a common estate In the facts, alms and
purposes that belong fo the science of
medicine.
His address was devoted to an exhaustive
discussion of "Substitute for Infant Feed
ing." Wants to Preserve Identity.

Joseph, secretary of the society, was the
question of the society becoming a district

Fassett suggested that the organization

Its Identity by being merged Into the North
western branch society of the American
Medical association, as' proposed by the
latter body.
t'nder the plan of organisation proposed
by the American Medical association, the

the states of YVisconsin, Minnesota. Kansas;,
Ncfrth and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa
Hffntana n)nr Wyomlwg. bur omitting Mis
souri, which Is Included In' the Medical So
cial y of the Missouri Valley. Secretary

Medical association be. requested to Include
Missouri In the Northwestern branch so
ciety.
The secretary's report was referred to a
special committee, with Dr. J. C. YYTater
man of this city as chairman. In Its re
port, action on which was deferred until
this morning, the committee recommends
that a committee be appointed to appear
before the ' American Medical association,
with the demand that the Medical Society
of the Missouri Valley be given recogni
tion as an auxiliary society. It agreeing to
amend Its constitution and by-laws so as
to harmonize with and conform to all the
requirements of the American Medical as

Expect Some Good Speakers.
The republican state' committee is pre
paring to ha' e some good meetings In
Iowa during the campaign and confidently
expects to secure Senator Fairbanks and
Speaker Cannon for meetings. YVhile Iowa
Is unimportant to the success of the na
tional ticket and there is really no fight In
the state, it is found that the national
committee plans to send a good many of
the best speakers back and fbrth across
the country, and because of this fact It is
believed they can be Induced to make dates
in Iowa as they are golna through and not
lose any time. Speaker Cannon Is almost
certain to come, as Mr. McNeeley, who. Is
In charge of the speakers' bureau, Is close
to the speaker as one of his clerks at
YVashington and the speaker desires to
favor Iowa.

engaged in drilling for water for
the city this morning struck a large vol
ume at a depth of eighty feet on Duck
Inland. The matter of good water is one
that has engaged the attention of the city
government for some time and the council
had arrived at a point where It was seri
ously onnsiderlng the expenditure of $75,000
for a filter. YVell drillers were started in
an experiment on Duck Island, which is a
tract of ten acres situated at the edge of
the city in the middle of the Des Moines
river. For several days they have been
drilling through a strata of sandstone and
this morning the wnter gushed forth, Indi
cating a large underground stream of pure,
clear, cold, sparkling water. The people in

ises to be a happy solution to a problem
that has caused much worry. The annexa
tion of the new supply to the water system
cari be accomplished with small expense,
as the reservoirs and filter galleries are
situated within 100 feet of the new well. A
number of small wells or a large one will
be sunk at once.
