'Of course , we silould like more money , but when the general appropriation was cut down from $750,000 to $250,000 , I did not think we should secure so large a share as we hare , Congressman Mercer has secured for Omaha and Council Bluffs the expedl- tOre of $80,000 , ro this community's share of the approprIation has not suffered a proportional - portional reduction. "The plan of the commission has always bpen to Improve the river so as to make It navigable. beginning the improvements at the mouth and continuing thorn up-stream. dora adherence to this syeitematic and continuous - tinuous improvement of the river from the mouth up would force Omaha and CouncIl Bluffs to wait a long time before any part of tile appropriation should be expended in tills immediate vicinity.

It was tile fifteenth annual commencement of the college. The exercises were held in Iloyd'sp theater. The house was well fihiil With the friends of tile alumni , graduates and undergraduates. On the stage were seated a number of local physicians and the trustees of tue college. The program was opened with an overture by tIle orchestra , after which Rev , W. V. hiarsha , D. D. , offered a fervent prayer for tile spiritual as well as for the worldly success of the young Illell and women who were about to be ilonored. \Villianl F , Milroy , M. D. , presIdent - Ident of tile board of , trustEes - tEes of tile college , delivered a short address to the graduates before..conferring tile degrees upozi thom. lie spoke of the vows taken by the father of medicine , who is supposed to have dwelt on an island In thb Aegean sea 500 years before tile dawn of tile Christian era. "With holiness anti purity viil I practice my art. " was his eaioinn vow and from all those vi1o etudied of him did he ( lemand this vow. Ills original Investigations help to lay a successful foundation for a rational study of inetilcine , but. as important as was his wonderful progress , it Old not compare 'Will ) . tite value of the vows of Itoh- ness 1111(1 purity. Dr. Mllroy strongly urged upon the graduates a close qbuarvaneo ol this principles. lie said it was true that there was no flunishlnent for tranagressing the principles mentioned , save dIsgrace , bat there should be a higher motive than fear which would compel adherence to them , Ho declared that physicIans Ia the garb were many , but those in reality were too few. "I anprehend that thee who practice the art of medicine simply lot the dollars that may bo In it , " caid lie , "shoot very far wide of the mak. " I'm aware that physicians are the laughing stock of the commercial world which worships only the ahidIgiity dollar. Every well equipped physician may feel as- cured of a good livelihood , but should , ho roach only after the dollar mark he will fall to attaIn the best results. "Tue profession Is often spoken of as one of the liberal professions. So it Is. Occa- elonally you meet a narrow-minded phys- iclan , Wile stumbles through a career of some kind. His sln are rather of omission than of commission. The practice of medicine demands the highest faculties to be employed by tue mind , keen and aCcurate observation , the most cultured tastes and the best judg- iiient. Tiilnk for yourself , ' is a motto I was once given , and I can think of none that will better earvo yea Ia the careo that you have before you. historical facts are of mere passIng interest. hANDED THEIR SHEEPSKINS. . "It is now my pleasure to hand to you the ( uiplornas awarded to you by the Omaha Mcd- icai college for your completion of a required - quired course of study and to confer upon you the degrees of doctors of medicine. I heartily congratulate every one of you , and wish you every success thoughoit your career. It. is my warmest wish that when you have completed your work on this earh that you may find the silent boatman of the golden stream waiting to coavey you through open gates to the honor and tue glory that await them Who .have nobly filled their mission here , " President Mllroy called the graduates to the front of the stage , and as each one cc- sponded to lila name , he was presented with a diploma by the presIdent , and a round of applause by tue audience. . The names of tile graduates , together with the names of the towns In which they wIll settle and commence - menco tue practice of medicine , are as fol- Iowa : Herbert Augustus Abbott , Waterloo ; lOOsen Lowell llridges , Omaha ; Albert But- Icr , undecided ; George Pigeon Cleinents , Hartington ; Charles Clarence Crawl , Randolph - dolph ; George RIchardson Gilbert , Omaha ; Paul Ernest Von Koerber , Grand Island ; Thomas James Lawson , Council Bluffs , Ia. ; WillIam Herod Lawrie , Omaha ; Frank Ed. ward Lilledahi , Immaouel hospital , Omaha ; Maud Mead , Oberlin , Kan. ; Roy Harry Mc- Carl , Creston , Ia. ; Thomas Joseph O'Toole , Eagle Grove , In. ; Mare Arvihia Quincy , Ash land ; Reuben Robinson , Omaha ; Chiaries Bane Spates.

After the degrees had been conferred. the ushers began to distrIbute ti'e ' various prea- eats sent to the newly-made doctors by their admiring frIends , .It..vas a task of no mean dimensions. There were enough floral designs brought up lp the stage to establish a fine conservatory in tile home of each graduate. Almost every member of the graduating class received one or more handsome bouquets ; others received books. ADDRESS DY TIFl CHANCELLOR. After another selection by tile orchestra. Chancellor George Edwin MacLoan of the University of Nebraska was introduced and received wIth hearty applause. He said that with considerable Illeasure he had accepted the invitation to speak again in Omaha. The flrut time lie addressed an audience In this city Itwas in the act of performing a marriage - riage ceremany between Lincoln and Omaha. The tWo cities had been separated On cc- count of a lovers' quarrel. lie believed that tile two had been hiving happily together ever since the marriage ceremony , 110 lIed appeared in this city again to urge upon tile iiool ( church PeOlle tile necessity of support. lug tile public schools , Again ito lied spoken on tue tiation'v foreign relations. But he conaldered this occasion tue crowning event of all ills appearances in Omaha. and op tilat account ho was glad to be present. lie spoke brieiiy on "Tile Modern. Ainer- ican PhyLician , " saying : 'In tile first place tile modern American physician is a gentle- man. lIe is a gentleman , historically con- sidered. Back In tile times of Good Quehn Bose the physician ranked as one of the nobility , and of tue royalty , " lie was glad that there were no classes In America tilat tile gentleman was not a title to lie bestowed because of noble blood , but was an honor that could be earned by oven the iiumb'est IeEant. "You have before you a noble profession , a great vocation. We , WllO are members of any profession , profess belief in certain principles , A profersion nmy Include an art or a craft , but no lrotession is designed as a money-making enterpriSe.t.
