I put the article in the paper some
days ago, because 1 had just roasons
for doing so; one, that I was living up
to the law and expected others to do
the same; others being that I had re
parts or complaints from six different
parties as to irregularities. These
peoplo I could summon to my aid nt
once if need he.
My article was in the form of a warn
ing, I said therefore, next time tho
articles with the doctor's namo would
bo published.
One party had received a written
communiciation. another still more
direct, that of the use of the telephone
when certain propositions wore made,
three others otherwise solicited; and
one verbal.
I knew that I was privileged to keep
tho names of the patients and the im
plicated from tho delegation, and
further told the said delegation from
the said Medical Society they had the
privilege to do as they pleased. Now
believe me, there was none more willing
for me to keep quiet than tho ones who
seemed to be the busiest to ferret out
tho offender. (The delegation excepted
of course.) "However tho guilty con
science needs no reproving."
I am sorry for most, yes, all the mem
bers of the Medical Society, for too
often in other societies as well as med
ical we have to shepherd the goats
with tho sheep. (This being thir lair
for protection and comfort.) Some
alas! getting in othorwise than by the
door, and the euro would not be by
purging the society with hyssop to make
it clean, but rather that each individ
ual heart be washed and made whiter
than snow.
And if these fellows in doing as they
do, show a lamentable amount of moral
courage and fair play, I prefer to be
the little pill doctor, showing a lamen
table lack of the above (shall I say?)
qualificationso
Well may the finger of suspicion
point to some of these arch conspirators
for business, for not alone in tl e
unethical bidding for same, there ia
also the shady charging which eclipscB
the burglar with hisbihy and gun.
Now I believe it was written in the
spirit of fair play, to protect the public
as much as the doctoi, and not to bid
for business as I hav'nt thus far found
it necessary to send out the household
to canvass.
Respectfully yours,
Adv John S. Twinkm, M. D.
Schimmel McGce Nuptials.
A very pretty wedding took place nt
the Methodist parsonage nt 6 o'clock
Wednesday evening when Miss Laura
McGce and Christian Schimmel were
united in the eoly bonds of matrimony.
The bride wore a dress of shadow Ince
and carried brides roses. She was at
tended by Miss Evanglinc Bundy and
Mrs. Esther Hanzo. The groom was
nttended by Mr. McKague of Brady,
and the father McGee, gave tho bride
nway. After the ceremony they were j
token to the home of tho bride south of
Brady where a sumptous wedding
supper was served to sevonty guests.
The bride is a charming young lady of
that vicinity and has many friends
there and in this city. The groom is a
prosperous young farmer of Dayken,
Nebr., and has n home prepared for his
bride. They will leave in a short time
for thnt place where all join thein in
wishing them a happy and prosperous
life. XX
I Miss Roso Reillcy left tho first of tho
week for her home in Cheyenne after a
short visit of two weeks in the city
with her sister, Mrs. Dan Roberts, and
other relatives. Mrs. Roberts accom
panied her for a visit of two weeks
with her mother.
If you put $1,500 to $2,000 into a
house, you would not think of lotting it
go without insurance. Not for even a
day. You put the same amount of
money in an automobilo which is proven
to be ten times the hazard for fire that
tho house is. Stop and think nnd then
see Temple.

The Howe and Maloney furniture
store has received an educational dis
play of the different materials used in
the making of linoleum, and have it en
display in their north show window.
The materials are very interesting to
study and it is well worth one's time to
look them over. It will also give an idea
of the expense of making linoleum.
Some of the material is shown in the
rough and the process of getting it
ready for use is also shown. The dis
nlav was furnished them by the
Armstrong company of Lancaster, Pa.,
and was shown a short time ago in the
Golden Eagle store in Denver. It was
sent here from the Jones store in Kan
sas City nnd will go from here to Car-son-Pirie-Scott
company of Chicago.
School children are especially invited to
visit the store and look over the display
and may feel free to ask questions
about the materials.
Notice,
Prof. Leonhardt, tho piano maker
and tuner, has had many complaints
from people who do not know him per
sonally, that other professed tuners
have been representing themselves as
Mr. Leonhardt, oi as his successor, or
as his students. Prof. Leonhardt de
sires to say that men making these
claims are impostors, and those who
employ those making such representa
tions do so at their own risk.

Will Organize Basket Ball.
Tho school authorities aro working on
plans to stoit basket bnll in the high
school and exect to have both
boys' nnd girls' teams in the field in
the near future. Negotiations are now
on for renting the Lloyd opera house
for the use of the students in prnctice
and in gomes. Gymnasium apparatus
and shower batliB will bo instnlled.
Teams will be orgnnized in all the
classes for inter-class contests and in
this way more material will be devel
oped and better opportunities will be
given to discover the best players.
Basketball enthusinsts have hereto
fore been few and far between in the
local schools, but the game affords fine
sport for the school and fills in the in
termission botween football season and
the soring athletics. The teams will
only get started this year as the season
is nearly over, but some good material
will be developed and the players will
be in good training for next season. It
will also afford good practice for the
football men in the forward pass. The
local men showed up rather poorly in
the forward pass in the trnme agninst
i Omaha and it was only Omaha super
I iority in this one play that won them
the victory. The practice in passing
and receiving will he a great help to
the local men in the football drill of
next Beason.
