QUESTION JURdh.mON OF COURT Insist JadS Scott u t Superior Court Has So Authority Ootstde of Pot tawattamie Coanty nud Plead Good Faith. Judge Wheeler oi i district court yes terday heard and took under advisement the case wherein the membera of the boarda of supervisors of Harrison and Monona counties are charged with being In contempt of court by violating the tem porary Injunction Issued by Judgt) Scott of the superior court of this city, re straining tnem from proceeding further In the matter of letting the contract for the construction of the Harrison-Monona county Joint drainage ditch. The injunction was Issued at the Instance of Florence Woods, an Interested property owner, and In the absence of the Judge of the district court. At this hi&ring yesterday the complain ant was represented by Attornea J. S. Newell of Missouri Valley and Thomas Arthur of Logan, while the members ot the two boards were represented by Attor neys Kindle of Onawa and Sawyer of Sioux City. On behalf of the defendants It was con tended that a Judge of the superior court of this ilty had not the Jurisdiction to Is- sue a restraining order In another county. Tn(B waa ,ne princi,mi r 'ao contended that contention. It was the Injunction was served without notice, that the super visors being public officers notice should have been given them. Further, that tha supervisors in awarding the contract were acting only aa the law required, tha atatute governing the matter being man datory, and that In entering Into t con tract no new obligation was lm-t 1, It being merely a consummation of tl. .ctlon previously taken.

EDITORS WIXD IP THEIR SESMOX Several Interesting Addresses on Closing Day. The Western Iowa Editorial association brought Its midsummer meeting to a close yesterday with two Interesting sessions, at which tha attendance was somewhat greater than on Friday. At the close of the afternoon session a number of the members took advantage of the oppor tunity to visit Lake Manawa, while others took the evening trains for their respec tive homes. While the attendance was not as large as had been expected, the meeting, however, was declared a aucccsa In every other respect . At the morning session J. A. Hoffman, a business man of Onawa, gave an Inter esting and practical talk on "Local Adver tising." Mr. Hoffman took the position that country merchants ought to advertise in their local papers in order to compete with the catalogue houses. In such ad vertising, ha said, they ought to 'set forth their prices and make comparisons with those of the catalogue , houses. Taking space In a local paper merely for the pur- Dose of assisting a name newspaper, ho i - ... contended, was simply throwing good money away. fc"very mercnani. ne sum, shoula advertise wim a oenuiie ptirn Newspapers, he urged, constituted :hc l . advertising medium by far. r,, f ,h Sh.nnnrtnsh RonMnet- Post, In speaking on "The Linotype." recommended the Installation of the ma chine In every well conducted newspaper composing room, not only as a matter of economy In the long run. but because they produce so much better work than typo set by hand. "Independent Journalism" was the sub ject of an ablo paper by E. C. Clark of the Red Oak Sun, who contended that It was posslbU for an editor to publinh a paper without allowing his political ties to dominate his editorials. In tha discus sion which followed some of the members present contended that no man could edit a paper without leaning toward tne politi cal party with which ha was affiliated. The feature of the afternoon session was a lengthy but In the main Interesting talk by D. M. Harris, the veteran Journalist of Missouri Valley, on "Forty-two Tears In Iowa Journalism." Mr. Harris' description of the many and almost Insurmountable difficulties which beset the pioneer editor In western Iowa was particularly interest ing and at times amusing. A. L.

Some years ago there was a strong senti ment against hospitals and sanitariums, a suspicion that was as widespread as It was erroneous, and at that period a great num ber of the otherwise intelligent people did not hesitate to express the belief that "good home treatment" was far better than that In vogue In tha Institutions, no matter how well managed they might be. Indeed, some went further and declared ' that by being treated "In bulk." as It were, neglect and even maltreatment was the unhsppy lot of the patients "herded together" In a sanitarium or hospital. There has been a decided change In gen eral opinion since that era and today every fairly intelligent person knoms that, with superior equipment and advanced methods at their disposal, the advantages of sani tariums over home treatment are so over whelmingly great there is positively no comparison. No private home, no matter how well It may be arranged or how ele gant the surroundings, ran offer sn en vironment so conducive to the patient's re covery as ara offered by a properly equipped and ably conducted sanitarium. An admirable example of this Is found In the Good Samaritan of Council BlufTs, la., an Institution without a superior In equip ment and manarement. and. It may be truthrutly added, In the benencent results 1 achieved by the employment of every mod- ern facility and accessory In every Institution of this character the most Important feature for consideration la the executive head, for upon the ability of the management depends not only the success of the Institution, but the comfort of the patients and the beneficial results J of their treatment. In this connection we can conscientiously bestow praise upon Dr O. W. Pangle (ably assisted by Mrs. O. W. Pangle). whose masterful ability has been the most powerful factor In the prestige enjoyed at his sanitarium and the marked success attending the system of treatment In vogue. (Being amply equipped by man- ! u' training along these chosen lines and enooweo wim a special apmuae in mis spe cial direction, these advantages, allied with thirty years of experience, render him thoroughly fit to preside over such an lnstl ...o.ou,..., - - tutlon and accounts In a great measure for the fact that this high-grade maternity sanitarium Is Justly regarded as an exem plar In Its line a representative retreat In every respect.) But. aside from this personal feature, the equipment of this sanitarium la moat thor ough, the detatla admirably arranged and the methoda In accordance with the lateat aclentlftc teachings. In fact, Ita conduct la In conformity with accepted authorltlea In every branch of curative science, and all developments along the special lines of remedial treatment employed at the Good 8amaritan sanitarium are adopted contem poraneously with their Introduction In the sanitariums of Paris, Berlin and Ixmdon and In continental sanitariums of world wide fame.

' The force of assistants employed at tha Good Samaritan sanitarium haa been chosen with Judgment, and the dexterity and the klndnesa of their treatment affords not only a source of satisfaction to the pa tients, but cannot help aiding materially tn their recovery to health. Every attend ant haa been selected on account of apeclal fitness and the thorough oversight that Is constantly exercised Insures proper care and guards against the abuses that prevail at so many other praiseworthy sanitariums and hospitals. Our Investigation of the Good Samaritan sanitarium has brought forth much Infor mation of a commendatory nature and not one word that could be construed into be ing adverse criticism. In 18TS t wss that In the large hospitals of St. Petersburg the death rate of women In confinement was as high as thirty-five In every thousand, while of those attended at their homes only five out of every thousand died of child birth. These reports remind one that dur ing the last thirty years the Oood Samar itan sanitarium has not lost one rase dur ing childbirth. A wonderful record: Physicians of the highest standing tn their profession and cltliens who are com mercial and social leaders unite In sincere praise. Former patients vie with each other In eulogising the methods that prevail and the beneficent results following treat ment. No examination ever made by the editorial department of this publication haa produced auch an overflowing mass of evidence favorable to the subject of In quiry', without one dissenting note of hos tile criticism to Jar upon tha harmony of praise. Hence It Is a pleasure as well as a duty to call the attention of our readera to tha eurpasslng advantages offrred by tha God Samaritan ssnltsrium and to bestow upon It the unstinted editorial commenda tion of the Chicago Journal of Health.

SAVES HER HUSBAND'S LIFE Economy and Self-Sacrlflce of Wife Reworded with Bunches of Joy. , On the day after ahe reached the coun try with the children ahe wanted to tele graph to her husband whom she had left parboiling In Washington that she had thoughtlessly left aome ot her money be hind, and to have him forward It to her by registered mall. Now, there never waa a woman yet that would aend a telegram of mora than ten words unless the circumstances were ex traordinary, even If all words beyond ten words were only tariffed at tha rata of a mill a word. In order to properly convey her meaning to her husband the shortest message pos sible, after all sorts of deletions, would have been about aa followa: "Forgot part of money. In bottom third drawer chiffonier, spare room, beneath shins. Send Immediately registered." Here, -however, were sixteen words. She bit the end of her pen In tha tele graph office over the problem and screwed up her forehead and dabbed at her' faca with her moist handkerchief, and waa In a sad stew over the thing. But wild horses wouldn't have forced her beyond the ten-word deadline.

That made a pat ten worda, and aho sent the message off, blissfully believing thst she'd receive a registered letter on the following morning. Her husband was sitting In the dining room In a state of gloom when he re ceived the message. He had ant Into a smull game on the prevloua evening, and when It waa nil over he was counting on the ends of hla fingers the daya to elapse before the next walking of tha dla- Lruifllllg iiri. a .iionv. The receipt of his wife's telegram had found, him speculating upon what sort of delirious riot it would be possible for him to engage In that evening on a cash capital of 11 cents, and his negligee shirts etltl unredeemed from the laundry around the corner. He tore up tha stairs three at a clip when he had read the telegram, and when hla prowling hand had brought up from the third drawer of the apare room chif fonier the little bundle of tM. mostly In one and two-spota, he experienced a sen sation of genuine emotion. "Well, she a a good girl," said ha to himself. "What other woman would have, been so thoughtful?
