The forty-second annual meeting of the Missouri State Medical association adjourned at noon today, after the regular programme had been carried out during the forenoon. Many of the members left for home on the noon and afternoon train, and the remainder will follow this evening and tonight. Without exception the visitors were lavish in their praise of Sedalia and the hospitality of her citizens, and it is almost certain if a permanent home or place of meeting is ever chosen by the association the Prairie Qiieen will be selected. There were four aspirants for the next place of meeting, viz: St.

Joseph, Nevada, Mexico and Sedalia, but Nevada subsequently withdrew. Mexico was chosen, and the third Tuesday in May, 1900, was fixed as the date. Sedalia was second choice and St. Joseph third. The president is always elected by the association direct, while the remaining officers are selected by a nomination committee endorsed by the association.

For president, Dr. W. B. Dorset, of St. Louis, Dr.

H. C. West Plains, and Dr. E. R.

Lewis, of Kansas City, were placed in nomination. Dr. Dorset was elected by a clever majority, Dr. Lewis receiving the next highest vote. Drs.

U. S. Wright, of Fayette; J. D. Brummall, of Salisbury; R.

The afternoon session of the society yesterday was largely taken up by a discussion of the report of the committee on ethics, which recommended that Dr. Mayfield, accredited from the St. Louis Medical society, be not recognized, because of his method of advertising the Mayfield sanitarium. The report was adopted.

Major Thomas Osmond Summers, from the St. Louis society, read an interesting and somewhat radical paper, giving his experi- while serving as brigade sur- rgeonof the Fifth army corps at Santiago. Major Summers held that the of the men, from a cause not tlien understood, and not now recognized. Maj. Summers gave in his paper a detailed statistical account of the treatment of cases and tiie number of them coming under his observation, and gave it as opinion that all that could have been foreseen was prepared for in the medical department of the Fifth army corps.

He highly recommended the adoption for use in the army of a system of proprietary prescriptions, for the reason that an army was a poor place for a drug store and the trenches not the best adapted to compounding prescriptions. use of proprietary said Maj.

They Will Appear at the First Baptist Church Tonight. The club will hold its second open session at the First Baptist church tonight. Some of the spinsters who have been successful in their matrimoj nial conquests in Oklahoma will wear diamonds, figuratively speaking, while others not so fortunate will be present with less money than when they started, but wiser in experience. This entertainment will be, in no way, similar to the last one, but will no doubt provoke as much laughter as the former entertainment. Those taking part have been working hard, with a view to making this session of the club more interesting than the first.

Courtney A young man well known in society in this city had a hand-to- hand encounter with a colored highwayman on Seventh street Tuesday night. It was an attempted hold-up, and during the fight the Sedalian was cut in the left side with a knife, the blade going through several thicknesses of clothing. The man also has a disfigured knuckle, the result of giving his adversary a powerful blow in the face. The highwayman escaped, but not until he had met his match in a hand to hand club, knife and fist fight in the darkness. Deeper Down, Better the Ore.

Miss Marie Keiser, of Southeast Sedalia, will be at home to a company of friends this evening. The Eisner ice plant at Clinton, said to have been erected at a cost of $80,000, was destroyed by fire at 4:20 this morning. The fire started in the southwest corner of the structure, fifty feet from the boiler room, and is believed to have been of incendiary origin.

The blaze was discovered by the crew of an incoming train on the Bailey road, and the shrill whistle of the engine aroused the entire city. The fire pressure was not what it should have been, and the flames made such headway that their progress could not be stopped until the building was in ruins. Considerable insurance heretofore carried had lapsed, and it is believed the net loss will be about For a time it was feared that large flouring mill C.
