" When the tfiscusslon was called for Dr. Willis I' . King of Kansas City , a man known by reputation at least to every physician through his wonderfully clover novel , "Tho Story of a Country Doctor. " caught the eye of the chairman , and his criticism of the merits of the paper was full of bright thrusts und yet Intensely Interest ing to the physician who was often In doubt as to when to amputate. But the doctor cauzht a tartar in Dr. Mur- docl : . who "differed" ns doctors generally do with the observations of their brethren. Then a host of other speakers followed in a discussion of Just what to do when a brakeman - man had given up his leg to the modern Mo loch of the nineteenth century. When the convention adjourned It wns tacitly under stood thnt each doctor would amputate as ho thought best. Trniniinrtutlon of Iend Itodlc * . The surgeons were Into In assembling in the afternoon. When President Brock called thonouvcn ; tiontoorderDr.lt. S. Harndon movoJl that a committee of three on resolutions bo appointed and that that committee meet in the parlors of i the Mlllard at 7 o'clock , surgeons having ladles accompanying thorn to meet at the same time , so that the ladles may also pass resolutions which may bo appended to the report of the committee. The motion prevailed nnd Dro. Hnnidon , Stewart of Texas and Thorn of Ohio were appointed on thnt commltteo. Dr. Murphy from the commltteo on badges reported that the committee had decided on a button somewhat similar to thu ono nt present on the ribbon badges , lobe mudo of enamel and gold. Hcport adopted. Dr. Cnnrles Fry from the committee on transpoitallon of dead bodies upon railroad trains , offered the following : "Upon investigation wo find that many of the state ( mills of health have formulated rules governing this subject nnd that the rules of one board conflict with those of an other , especially in the matter of the abso lute prohibition of the transportation of bodies , dead of certain contagious or infec tious diseases. Owing to the fact ihnt no uniform system of rules and forms is In operation , the public health is constantly endangered by the transportation of persons dead of contagious diseases , Improperly pre pared for such transportation , and relatives and friends in charge ot bodies in transit , owing to the same cause , are subjected to all sorts of delays and annoyances. Uniform [ tales Wanted. "It is unnecessary to urge the importance of proper precautions in the transportation of dead bodies or the desirability of secur ing a uniform system of rules which will secure their transport with iho grealesl safety to the public and the least annoyance to friends. "As the railway companies are deeply In terested In this subject , the National Asso ciation of Baggage Agents , at a meeting held in 1SSO , formulated n set of rules and forms and urged their general adoption. The Ohio Stale Board of Health , among others , In the autumn of that year promulgated those rules as the law governing this subject in Iho slalo of Ohio. Many of the general bageago agents issue a special order to their local baggage agents embodying these rules , ami they have been in force upon many of the trunk lines of the country for several years ' As the railroad companies cannot pro scribe what contagious ilisoascs _ shall pro hibit the transportation of boaies or what preparation bodies shall receive for trans- portalion , your committee offers the follow ing resolution as the only action which It appears to them Ihls association can take In the promises : "Hosolved , That the National Association of Rallwny HurRoons recommend to the State Hoards of Health or other authorities having Jurisdiction In the mutter of nil of the status and territories of the United States , the adop tlonntas unrly a date as posblDlo of the rules : ind forms adopted by the State Hoard of Health of the state of Ohio in 1H80 , governing thu transportation of dead bodies upon rail road trains. " Appended to the report was a circular issued from the oftlcc of the general baggage agent of the "Big Four" svstem , embodying the rules of the Ohio State Board of Health. The report of the committee was adopted. Science's Sweet Soporific 1'owor. In the absence of Dr. Samuel C. Benedict , Dr. Jackson of Kansas City read the papoi prepared by Dr. Benediot on Iho "Palhology nnd Palhologlcal Anatomy of the Spinal Cord. " The paper , which was very ex haustive In its researches called out a wide range of discussion , opened by Dr. J. B. Murphy of Chicago , followed by Dr. En- Irlken , Dr. J. H. Murphy of St. Paul and others. While these discussions were igoing on Dr. Willis King of Kansas City was making a dormitory out of the platform to the amusement mont of everybody in the vicinity , his iiisa tones penetrating far down the hall. A delegate from Iowa , who desired to hoar the speeches on the question under discussion arofo and asked the Indulgence of the learned body so that Dr. King might bo heard. There was a round of applause , and the doctor being aroused from his slumber with sleep sticking out of his eyes like pediments from a building , came to the front and remarked thai ho had little sleep the night before but had never struck so effective a soporific as the discussions hud proved. If the convention had no objectioi ho would ask that the discussions bo con tlnued and ho go back to sleep. The business of the afternoon having beci concluded , and pending the report of the com mlttecs , the convention adjourned until I o'clock. Previous to the adjournment Dr Galbralth extended an invitation to the members of the convention to visit the new St. Joseph's hospital which , the doctor re marked , ho Ihought would prove very inter ostlng lo the physicians present. The evening session was well attended. The subject of the special program was con tinued. Dr. Alexander J. Mullen of the Michigan Central railroad , Michigan City , Ind. , read a paper on "Prognosis , " and its discussion was led by Dr. C. M. Daniel of the Erie , Buffalo , N. Y.

LINCOLN , Nob. , Juno 1. [ Special to THE BBC. ] The trial of Gorhnm F. Uotts wns continued In JudgoStrodo's court. The pub lic Interest In the trial Is evidently increas ing , as quite n numborof auditors were pres ent. The proceedings were enlivened con siderably by a series of verbal quarrels be tween counsel. At ono point Mr. Snoll was examining Commissioner Humphrey as to whom the board had rolled on ns to the cor rectness of vouchers for supplies furnished the stale asylum whun such vouchers were presented to them. Ho replied the steward , and In answer to a question ns to his Iden tity , responded that the man was J. Dan Lauor. "Is this the same J. Din Lauor , " liuiulrod Mr. Snoll , "who Is now under Indictment In this court for defrauding the state in the furnishing of supplies to the , asylum ? " Immediately both attorneys for Bolts were on their foot wildly gesticulating and en deavoring to get In an injection , which they llnally succeeded In doing. Attorney Price vehemently declared thnt It was an outrage upon the court and the Jury for the state's nttornoj to endeavor to poison the minds of thojurois against his client , nnd that Laucr wan not on trial. Snoll responded that the point ho wished to make was that the board had relied upon the integrity of a nun who had willfully and maliciously violate his duty to the state , but further discussion was shut off by the court sustaining the objec tion. tion.Frank Frank MIekloy and George Williams , two Burlington freight conductors , tcstiliod as to dates on which they had loll cars nt the asylum switch , Williams having also deliv ered coal nt Stoekwell's switch , the numbers of the cars loft there being identical with those charged up' to the stato. They were followed by Acting Secretary of State Cald- woH and Commissioner Humphrey , who testified as to the routine work of the board In the consideration of vouchers. CaUlwell stated that the only check the board had wns against overcharges on bids , a comparison of llguros on vouchers being made with those on the bids. The principal witness of the morning was J. C. ICear , Belts & Weaver's former yardmaster - master , who was recalled. Ho had the firm's old Order book for April , 1891 , and on the stubs tbo movements of the cars of coal received and sold by the llrm could bo easily traced. Tbo majority of the entries in this book were Identified oy the witness as being in Bolts' handwriting , nnd it was intro duced m evidence. This book shows. In Bolts' own writing , that cars of coal which ho had charged to the state and filled out in ono stub as having been delivered to the asylum , were again sold as shown by stub and actually delivered to Thomas Carr , the Lincoln planing mill , Dunton , Stockwcll and others. Ivor instance , ono stub showed that car 111"- hud boon sold to the state , while another stub , a few pages further on , showed that the same car had been sold to Stockwoll all in Botts' own writing. Auditor Benton was called to tell what ho know about the way the Board of Public Luuls and Buildings did business and to Identify the warrant as having been paid. The same line of testimony was followed at the afternoon session. M. B. Dunton , a brick manufacturer , and Mr. Cook , manager of the Lincoln Plaining Mill company , testillod thnt they had in April , 1801 , pur chased three nnd one cars respectively from the defendant. A comparison of the numbers of these cars as found on the stub of Belts' order book with four charged to the state on the voucher shows them to bo identical. U. H. Supple , a railroad con ductor , was examined us to cars left at the asylum switch. School Commencement.

The Plankln- ton bank opened nt the usual hour this morn ing , but llvo minutes later William Plankln- ton , vlco president , appeared nnd nt once the following nolico was posted and the doors closed : "Owing to the failure of our efforts to re organize the bank nnd the continued with drawal of deposits , wo have Ihought best for the interests of nil depositors and stock holders to close Iho bank. " Tnoro has been no regular run on the bank of lato. Slnco the scare two weeks ago , however , large depositors who did not taito part In the run at the time , have boon stead ily withdrawing their accounts , transferring them to other banks. The suspension is largely iluo to the fail ure of F. A. Lappcn & Co. and the Lappon Furniture company two weeks ago , with lia bilities probably amounting to $750,000. The Lappon firms , as far as claims have been re ceived , owe the Plauklnton bank J219.000 on Lappon's personal nolos. which are consid ered practically worthless. How Lappen succeeded In placing the hank in the position it llnds Itself in is n mystery. Ho secured loan after loan of 810,000 each , oven after common rumors said L-ippcn was not sound. Many sensational rumors nro In circulation regarding the matter. The capital stock ot the bank is SaoO.OOO. The condition of the bank at the time of closing cannot bo learned. It Is bolloveii the showing will not bo satisfactory. The opin ion prevails that Pl.uiklnton will personally sco all claims paid. Late this afternoon the bank made an as signment and the court appointed Wllli.un Plnnktnton assignee. Ho immediately gave $1,000,000 bond , with Senator John Mitchell , D.ivld Ferguson , vice president of the Wls- ionsln Fire nnd Marino Insurance bank , ami 3hnrlos Hay , president of the National Ex- 'liango ' bank , as sureties , The state law regarding assignment pro ides thai the assignee's bond must bo bo laced nt the llguro. equal to the nominal .ssots of the Involved llrm.

A.flor Iho dealh of Mr. Plankinton , Mr. D.iy was elcclcd president and William Plnnkin ton , son of the founder , was chosen vice resident to represent the stock of Iho "huikinton estate and that held by himself. With the failure of Iho Plnnklnlon bank , Iho chances for the reorganization of the Lappcn business fell flat. There is no longer any hope that the proposed company can bo organized.
