Warring Physicians.
‘ ‘Who shall decide when doctors disa-
gree ? ” especially when, as has been
cruelly asserted, many of those whose
testimony might prove of value, and
decisive so to speak, will never again
require the services of a physician.
We are unpleasantly reminded of the
old saw above quoted upon reading
that the doctors of Dubuque, Iowa,
are giving their respective patients
cause for rejoicing by jabbing their
lancets :into each other, figuratively
speaking, and all because two of their
number have recognized the value of
printer’s ink, contrary to the ethical
code universal. It seems that Doctors
G. W. Staples and J. J. Brownson,
'who are said to be two of the most
prominent physicians in the state, and
members in good standing of the State
Medical Society, (the constitution of
which forbids newspaper advertising,)
were sufiiciently good-natured to give
the wide-awake newspaper reporters of
Dubuque items now and then, which
were exceedingly complimentary to
their skill as physicians. This quite
naturally excited the ire of those of
their number who still live, move and
have their being in the era of saddle
bags and blood letting, and the latter
forthwith collected these complimentary
newspaper notices, reproduced them in
neat pamphlet form, took them to the
recent meeting of the State Medical
Society at Waterloo and distributed
them lavishly among the delegates.
The doctors who were thus accused
of unprofessional conduct, and were
hauled over the coals as it were, did
not attend the meeting but when they
heard of the distribution of the pam-
phlets they were angry enough to
swallow some of the vilest doses they
had ever prescribed for their unfortu-
nate patients. In fact their anger was
of the most terrifying
The report goes on to say that they
have personally accused various physi-
cians of the authorship of the pam-
phlet in question, and at least two per-
sonal combats have been narrowly
averted, They have now employed
legal counsel, and threaten to bring
actions for criminal libel against the
men whom they charge with compiling
and distributing the obnoxious pam—
phlets. Said one of the men who is in~
terested in getting up the exposure :
“We do not object to physicians ad-
vertising, but we do object to joining
and professing to live up to the princi-
ples of medical societies, the constitu-
tions of which forbid advertising, and
then getting their names in the papers
nearly every day in connection with
alleged miraculous cures and surgical
operations. ” .
Precisely how this hurrah will end is
a subject for conjecture. It is possible
that Doctors Staples and Brownson
have effected the marvelous cures rep-
resented, but in the absence of testi-
mony from the unfortunates whom they
presumably failed to cure, we are re-
minded of the quaint remark of “Bob”
Ingersoll. Commenting one day on
the statement of the miraculous escape
from death, (attributed to Divine in_
terposition,) of a man who barely
missed taking passage on a transatlan-
tic steamship which subsequently
foundercd, “Pope Bob” said in his
characteristic tone “That’s all right.
I’m glad he was out of the scrape, but
what does he think of the five hundred
unfortunates who went down with the
ship ‘3 ”
So with the warring Dubuque doc-
tors. When they can bring in testi-
mony from the luckless people who
“went down with the ship," i. e. those
whom they couldn’t or didn’t cure, they
Will be entitled to the practical sym-
pathy of all who have faith in the efi'i-
cacy of a judicious use of the columns
of a live newspaper.

Stout Women Who Ride.
In the tan-bark strewn rings of the
uptown riding clubs and in the Rotten
Row of Central Park, New York: one
sees a goodly number of extremely
stout women, and it is noticeable that
they are nearly always among the most
assiduous riders. Not infrequently,
t00, they acquire a high degree of skill
and grace through constant practice,
though impartial observation on bright
days like those we have recently on-
joyed would suggest the caution that a
fleshy woman is wise when she avoids
the trot. She should make her patient
steed either walk or canter. The spec-
tacle of an extremely plump fair one
bobbing up and down on the saddle of
a trotting horse is more than mildly
amusing, unless sympathetic calcula-
tions as to the sore back the animal
may be getting by the repeated con-
cussions happen to occur to the mind“;
A gentle canter or even a vigorous
run has a different effect upon the eye
altogether. Rose Coghlan is not a
light woman, nor is Fanny Davenport,
but either of them can fill the ideal of
the dashing woman who rides to hounds
so admirably in “London Assurance.”
The stout woman who rides is usually
engaged in a strenuous effort to reduce
her too luxuriant proportions. An
equal length of time spent in walking,
or, under competent medical advice,
in running, would be more effectual,
yet it is impossible to withhold com-
mendation from the devotion to their
hobby displayed by the stout sisters in
the saddle.

El Paso ReCeived the Presidential
Party with Open Arms.
SPEEDING TO CALIFORNIA.
Amid Godspeeds and Cheers the Dis-
tinguished Travelers Start on Their
Long Journey to Sample That
Glorious Climate.
EL PAso, Tex, April 22.-—This city wasa
scene of bustle and activity Tuesday morn-
ing, almost the entire population being in
the streets and on the tiptoe of expectation
anxiously awaiting the arrival of the presi-
dent and his party. All arrangements had
been completed, and when the train rolled
into the station President Harrison found
himself literally received with open arms.
The Southern Pacific railroad station was
magnificently draped and decorated with
United States and Mexican flags, and the
aggregation of humanity'that cheered and
bravoed as the distinguished tourists
stepped from the cars was a sight to re—
member. The signal of the president’s
arrival was the whistling of all the en-
gines on the railroad, and every bell in the
city was rung.
Escorted Through the City. ‘
The procession formed at the depot and
escorted the president through the city.
Among those in line were General J ose
Maria Rangel, chief of .the Second Mexi-
can military zone. His staif consisted of
one lieutenant colonel of infantry, two
first captains of cavalry, two second cap-
tains of cavalry, one§first lieutenant and
one sub-lieutenant of cavalry. General
Rangel also brought with him a company of
artillery, with four guns, and the Eleventh
battalion band of forty-five instruments.
To this military force Colonel Ross added
eighty cavalrymen from the Juarez garri-
son.
The committee from the city of Mexico
consisted of Colonel Ricardo‘aVillanuera,
of the engineering corps, and Colonel
anaco J. Monroy, of the cavalry. Colonel
Ross represented Juarez in the military
display. The troops stood in line on the
Mexican bank of the Rio Grande, at the
old street car bridge, for the inspection of
the presidential party, and fired a salute.
\Vhen the party arrived Governor Carillo,
of Chihuahua, accompanied by his staff,
about twenty strong, was also in attend—
ance.
Minister Ryan sent the following dis»
patch:
MEXICO, April 21.
To the Hon. Richard Caplesé‘
Responsive to your invitation President Diaz
finds it impracticable to accept, because of
official business now particularly engaging on
account of the session of congress. RYAN.
After the drive through the city the
president’s party returned to the depot,
and amid godspeeds and cheers, the shriek-
ing of steam whistles and the clanging of
bells left for its long ride to the glorious
climate of California.
Texas Made the Most of It.
All through the “Lone Star” state the
president’s tour was triumphant. Texas
had never had a real live president within
her borders before, and she made the most
of it. From the time the train crossed the
border, all the way down to Houston and
Galveston, crowds gave the president an
enthusiastic welcome. From Galveston
across long and dreary sand plains to San
Antonio with its flowers, and thence on to
this place, wherever there were people, they
cheered and shouted at his presence. El
Paso gave him his farewell to the south,
and he will ever remember it.
Texas was bound to have a celebrated
picture while the president was within her
borders, so an ambitious amateur with a
camera got a snap shot of the president
standing between big Governor Hogg and
“Uncle” Jerry Rusk. »-
The president will cover 307 miles before
he sleeps, and Vv'ednesday he makes 497
miles, and reaches Los Angeles late in the
afternoon and stays there until 1 o’clock
at night, when he leaves for San Diego.
A Denial from Jay Gould.
OMAHA, April 22.———Mr. Jay Gould and
party arrived here Tuesday morning. Mr.
Gould said that he had had no such inter-
view as was purported to have been had
with him and telegraphed from Denver to
the New York Tribune. He said that he
had never used any such expressions as
were imputed to him at any time, and that
The Tribune hhd been grossly imposed
upon. He further said that he had had nc
intention of going to the Pacific coast at
this time.

IF you happen to be poor don’t let the world
know it. Nothing tells the story of finan-
cial decay quicker than a hat or bonnet that is
out of date. You may spend a pocket full of
money on the rest of your attire, but if your
hat belongs to a season that has gone, you
might as well have spared yourself the whole
expen'se.- You will be beyond criticism in this
if you purchase your headwear at‘our store, for
our stock is all new this season, and we carry
, only the latest and most approved styles in
Ladies’, Misses’ and Children’s Hats, While our prices are within the reach
of all pocketbooks.
