ZL When James Bu W. R. Stubbs Leads in Closing the Joints, Couldn't Get a Hearing at Meeting. chanan Duke, head of the great tobacco trust and possessor of a fortune estimated at $75,000,000, began a suit ror divorce on September 2. the business and social world was amazed.

It had been the Idea of that organization all along that it would have a voice In determining the selection of a staff, if there was one. There is, however, a strong sentiment against having a staff at all. Most of the members desired to hare the hospital open to all doctors on an equal footing. For this reason the announcement of the appointment came as quite a jolt to them. The surprise occasioned and the opposition which is unhesitatingly voiced by practically all the physicians is due to this and not to any: doubt of Dr Sut-cliffe's ability as a surgeon or unfriendly feeling toward him.

The medical society worked long and hard for a hospital in Iola. Difficulty after difficulty was encountered until finally the proposition of a public hospital in which every doctor should have equal standing and privileges was determined upon. To this the medical profession gave its approval and the financial aid of the business Interests the community was enlisted. Dr. J.

S. Sutcliffe came here from St. Louis about a year ago. He volunteered to give bonds and other hospital equipment to the value of $1,000 to a public hospital and the gift was accepted. The doctor made clear that he desired no return for this and to be on the same footing with the other doctors of Iola.

He has since done a great deal or work for the hospital. Who hospital society entered Into an agreement with the Sisters of St. Joserth to build and equip the hospital If they would operate it. The property was to be turned over to them when In operation. The agreement also contalnel a clause giving the society some voice in determining the method of operating the hospital.

Some time ago the property was deeded to the sisters. The building till lacks a good deal of completion and it will be some time before It will.be operation. A few days ago came iho appointment by the sisters of a chief surgeon for the hospital. The society's Jlrst knowledge of this came after the apps.ntmcnt was made. A meeting of the society has been called for in which these matters will be thoroughly discussed.

By means of a resolution a member of the saaftty made an attempt to have the society indorse the much maligned fruit.

Such a vigorous protest resulted that the champions of the Ben Davis were silenced, i L. A. Watrous, the acting president of the society, was forced to rap for order and he ruled any discussion of the apple out of order. A motion to refer the resolution to the committee on resolutions with Instructions to report at the next contention, thus shelving the troublesome question for two years, was then made. It was carried, and'a storm vwhich the innocent Ben Davis threatened to cause was averted.

It was at the close of routine business that Major Frank Holsinger, president of the Kansas State' Horticultural society, arose and asked permission to speak.

The system comprises coupon credit slips, which will be issued to canal employees on demand in books containing credit respectively for 12.50, $5 and gold. The books are so made up that credits from 1 cent to $1 can be torn out as required. Employees will be allowed to get these credit books on demand at any time up to a certain percentage of the total amount of wages due them. The merchants will accept the slips under an arrangement which makes the four banks of Panama the clearing house between the merchants and the railroad company.
