That quarantine regulations should ba
more rigidly enforced was the prevailing
sentiment of the Pottawattamie County
Medical association at It annual meeting
yesterday, the sessions ot which were held
In the Grand hotel. During the discussion
It was stated that In many communities
there was practically no quarantine In
cases of contagious diseases of a malignant
type, the authorities being, either Ignorant
of tho law or careless as to Its enforce
ment. . Dr. Macrae expressed the opinion
that existing quarantine regulatioha would
be Ineffectual until the United States gov
ernment took hold of It, as It does In dla
eases of stock.
The practice of members of the profesalon
bidding for public work at rates not. com
mensurate with the duties performed was
condemned and the sentiment prevailed
that physicians holding public offices, such
as city and county physician, should re
ceive the same compensation they would
were the services rendered for private In
dividuals. The relation ot physicians to one another
was also dlscussed'and the practice of one
physician "knocking" against another was
heartily condemned. '
The election of offlderr. for the ensuing
year resulted as follows: President, Dr. F.
W. Houghton, Council 'Bluffs; Vice presi
dent, Dr. W. M. Beaaore, Macedonia r sec
retary and " treasurer. Dr. F. W. Dean,
Council Bluffs; member of board of ccn-.
sore, Dr. A. A. Robertson, Crescent; alter
nate to state association. Dr. D. Macrae, Jr.
The next meeting will be the first Tues
day In March and will be hold at Ayoca.
The attendance at yesterday's meeting was
not aa large aa usual, but few members
from outside the city being present.
Matters in District (Hurt.
. The fact that the action had been V rough t
against the wrong c .mpany prom p ed. the
attorneys for Mrs. Bestla I hi iris to dis
miss, without prejudice, yes erdny her suit
agtlrst the Qreat Western railroad for $10,
000 damages for the death of Dan C ancy,
the t:Ul of which was begun Saturday in,
the district court before Judge Green and
ft Jury. Dan'el Clancy, who wos the former
husband, of the plaintiff, was fatil y in
jured at McClelland on October 27, 1903,
while employed as a b'akeman. A few
daye after the accident, namely, November
1, 18C3, the Ma-on City & Fort Dodge Ra I
road company, which h3d bern op 'rating
the road between Fort Dodge and this city,
turned It over to the Great Western.. On
t'ehiK of the defendant company It vat
contended that suit should have beon
Lrnught against the M.-.son Cl'r'4 Fort
Doiige.Ral.road. Inasmuch, as tljs :t I ac
cident occurred before the Qreat .Western
had formally taken over the road.

TO PAY ALL BILLS
Iowa Exposition Commission Keeps Within
Appropriatisn,
EARNINGS OF RAILROADS DECREASE
State Officials Hope for Test of Le
gality of Amendments at Early
Date Before Any Complica
tions Over Them Arise.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 M01NE3, Dec. . (Special.) Ex
Governor Larrabce president of the lowu
commission on the Louisiana Purchase ex
position, with Secretary Freeman Cona
way of the same commission, arrived h nv;
today from St. Louis, where they h tve
attended the exposition and closed up af
fairs for Iowa. An executive commltlee
meeting was held today to go over th-j
accounts and arrange for a settlement.
Secretary Conaway will tuke an office at
the state capltol and devote hla time for
two or three montha to closing up affairs.
The commission will be ftblo to pay all
bills and settle everything without making
use of any of the 326,000 additional appro
priated for specific purposes, but It wat
provided that none of It could be unej
until all the other appropriation was used.
While some departments nettled tho addi
tional sums ik was not needed In all de
partments . and none of it was touched.
The commission turned over all the Iowa
property to the State Board of Control
yesterday and that board Is now In charge.
It hna already started the work of oii
mantllng the Iowa building and It Is prob
able that building will be the first to be
torn down. The furniture and materials
are being shipped to various places Iq the
state.
Earnlniii Have Decreased.
The annual report of the state ral!rcid
commissioners, filed today, shows that for
the year ended June 30 last the railroads
of Iowa earned 314,998,034, aa against SIC.
433,233 the year before. The revtnuea were
sliKhtly larger, but the expense ' much
greater. The mileage increased from 8,498
to 9,822, and the earnings per mile went
down from $1,730 'to $1,626. The commis
sion makes report on lla work in securing
from the railroad managers . in Chicago
last winter restoration of the stock pasrei
to stock shippers of the country after Ihe
railroad managers, had decided upon cut
ting them off. The commission held sev
eral conferences with the railroad com
panies on the subject. The commission
makes suggestions that the railroad man
agers secure more equipment and better
facilities for passenger traffic and that the
employes and officials be more willing to
give out Information as to all. matters In
which the public Is Interested. The com
panies are also scored for failure to main
tain the roadbed on branch lines up to
standard.
Test the Amendments. ,
It Is very much desired by state offi
cials and others who are directly con
cerned In the biennial elections amendment
and the one Increasing the eixe of tha
house of representatlvea that there shall
be some fair legal test of the whole mat
ter long before a crisis Is reachej and
before the matter cornea to the attention
of the courts In an unfavorable or unfair
way.
"We would not want the 'question of
the force of the beiennlal elections amend
ment raised during a seaalon of the legln
latore," said a member the, other day.
"We would not like to have a legislative
session on hand at a time when the courta
were keeilng the people on the qui vlvs.
Let It be settled before that time."
Thla Is the attitude and feeling of a
number of persons who are directly Inler.
ested. It has been suggisted that a teat
case be up as soon as possible and that It
be got into the courts In a way that will
be . fair to 'both sides. ' '
A largely atttpded meeting of tha Iowa

and addresses of many women in your
state who have been cured. We only
ask you to investigate for yourself.
Without solicitation from Us Sirs.
Harrison wrote ns as follows :
" I suffered for more than seven years
with a very complicated form of female
trouble accompanied with nervous pros
tration, and after doctoring with six
physicians (all bearing excellent repu
tations) was informed that unless .an
operation was performed I would be an
invalid all my life. Hearing of the
wonderful cures effected by Dr. R. V
Pierce's remedies and believing that
there must be a cure for almost every
ailment. I determined to make one
more effort. I wrote to Doctor Pierce,
and I will never forget his kindly ad
vice, telling me to follow his instruo
tions faithfully and not to submit to an
operation. 1 commenced to improve
alter six weeks' treatment, and in JJve
months my improvement was so notice
able to friends that they began to in-
?uire about my method of treatment.
Was pleased to tell them of the won
derful means of cure that I had most
fortunately found, and, as so many
ladies applied to me for information
regarding Doctor Pierce's world -famed
medicines and his plans of treatment, I
felt in duty bound to give them the
benefit of my experience, so, told them

menced here this evening. Tho asaocla
tlon has nn extended program covering
two days, but the topic uppermost Is how
to curb the trusts, especially the Harvester
trust and tho Cordage trust. The mem
bers are confronted with the necessity of
signing contracts which are binding upon
them and prevent general business and the
association will endeavor to lay plans for
offsetting this influence.
State Auto Club Formed.
.The Iowa Automobile club was formed
here at a mtetlng attended by owners of
machines from all over tho state. The
club adopted a constitution and elected
the following officers: President, G. B.

ATTACK LAW'S CONSTITITIOSALITY
Attorneys Allege DralnsKe Law of
Iona Is Not Vnllil.
ONAWA, la., Dec. 6. The hearing In the
ditch appeal case of Addison Oliver from
the decision of the Board of Supervisors
of Monona and Harrison counties, on the
big Mononn-Harrisiin ditch closed Satur
day evening. As to the testimony of the
petitioners, Selbolt and others. Judge Ad
dison Oliver will have sixty days from
date to Introduce his side of the case.
Some Interesting loeal. points have been
raised by the appellant's attorneys, George
A. Oliver of Onawa and Wright & Call of
Sioux -City, 'who aet them out In th' lr ob
jections and exceptions flic!, They con
tend that the laws as passed by the Thir
tieth general assembly are unconstitutional
and that the whole proceeding In regard
to the Monona-Harrison ditch, so far are
Illegal and void. ...
Appellant claims that the supervisors
elected In Harrison county cannot act to
determine matters In Monona county and
that supervisors elected In Monona county
cannot act to determine assessments an!
costs levied In Harrison county and that
chapter 68 of the Thirtieth cenoral assem
bly authorising them so to do, Is In viola
tion of the constitution-of the state of
Iowa and unlawful; that the Boards of
Supervisors of Monona county are without
jurisdiction to establish a drainage dis
trict in Harrison county and that the au
thorities of Harrison county cannot act
In Monona county; that the Boards of
Supervisors of. aald counties are only re
sponsible to the people of their respective
county; that all of said meetings were
held without authority of law: that chap
ter 68 In regard to drainage is In violation
of section 18, article I of the constitution
of Iowa, which provides that "Private
property shall not be taken for public use
without full compensation being made."
Many other objections are cited.
The coHt of the Improvements Is esti
mated at 2X3,000 and 73.000 acres of land
are expected to be made good tillable land
by the work. About $150,100 was claimed
by land owr.era as damages and about
$35,000 allowed by the tribunal.

DES mCiNEB, la., Deo. 6. (Special )
Governor Cummins read tht message of
President Roosevelt with great pleasure to
day and especially that part relating to
the question of rullroad rates and regula
tion of ths same by federal power.
''I waa greatly pleased at what Presi
dent Roosevelt had to say on the sub
ject," said the governor. "He states tha
issue In tha clearest, way possible and
points the evil to be met. He emphatically
recommsnda the very remedy which the
Interstate Commerce association has advo
cated, and his expression Is In exact accord
wtb the vlewa which Governor Van Bant
and myself in person and Ouvernor La
Knllette by letter presented to the presi
dent, on the occasion of our -recent visit. I
agree with the president that there should,
be no effort to plaoe In the hands of the
Interstate Commerce commission-ths au-
the facts. The large nnmher ff poM
tive cores effected by Doctor Pierre's
remedies alone, naexl by my recommen
dation, seemed, in one year's time,
nothing short of a miracle. I couldn't
have- believed it had I not seen the
parties and known the facts.
Feeling so trateful to a kind Provl-denco-and
to Doctor Pierce for my res
toration to health, and wishing most
earnestly to have the pleasure of bring
ing relief to other sufferers, I have,
within the past fifteen years, suggested
and recommended Doctor Pierce s treat- :
ment to hundreds of ladies, and regard
my efforts in this direction as grand
missionary work.
If invalid ladies will call at my home,
112 West 2nd Street, $ioux City, Tues
day, Wednesday, or Friday afternoons,
from 2 until 4 o'clock, I will be pleased
to relate my experience and direct them
to a reliable source of relief and cure,
and for this no charge will be made.
Those interested but unable to call may
drop a postal and I will call at residence,
if agreeable."

Many people owe their present good

Doctor Pierce by letter, giving him all

them nothing. Write to Dr. R. V.
Pierce, founder of the Invalids' Hotel

Doctor Pierce by no means confines
hCniself to prescribing his well-known .

you ought to do, what line of treatment

case, and If your case- does not indi
cate the need of his proprietary medi

what you do need, and the best possible
method of improving your health.
Doctor Pierce treats many chronlo
cases at a distance, through the mail
and all you have to do is to write him
describing your symptoms.
