PEEPAKING PRESCRIPTIONS.
Doctors Request Druggists Not to
Repeat on Them.
rhe Practice Might Be Regarded as
Wrongful, But the Doctors Think
It Perfectly Legitimate Drug
gists Differ.
People who are predisposed to fre
quent attacks of slight indisposition of
an ordinary nature, and who have been
in the habit of having their ailment pre
scribed for by a physician, will look
with askance upon the methods adopted
by a number of physicians of late of in
structing the druggist who fills the pre
scription not to refill the prescription
without an order from the physician.
This arbitrary ruling is in the nature of
a mild form of highway robbery when
viewed, from the standpoint of the pa
tient, but from the physician s point of
view it is merely a legitimate method of
adding to his professional income.
This rule, which happily has been
adopted by only a small percentage of
reputable physicians in the city, has
many obnoxious features, while it has
few good points to recommend it to
favor.
One of the many objections made to it
is the fact that it works a hardship
upon the poorer class of patients, who
comprise by far the largest proportion
of the clientele of the medical profes
sion. A large number of the patients
who call upon the members of the med
ical profession are suffering from only
a slight indisposition, which, while it
may be chronic, is, at the same time,
not of a serious nature, and one which a
prescription calling for a simple rem
edy will either cure entirely or tempora
rily relieve the sufferer. In such cases,
where relief is obtained through the
prescription given by the physician, the
patient, upon a return of a similar at
tack, would naturally desire to have the
efficacious remedy refilled by the drug
gist without calling upon the physician
again. With this rule adopted by the
physicians, however, he would be un
able to obtain the remedy a second time
before obtaining a prescription from
the physician, and paying another fee,
unless the druggist saw fit to disregard
the request made by the physician.
It will be seen from this statement
of facts that the real motive for the
action taken by these physicians in ask
ing druggists not to refill one of their
prescriptions or to give a duplicate to a
customer lies in the fact that it will add
materially to their incomes. The physi
cians, themselves, however, deny that
they ere actuated by such a mercenary
motive, and claim that their purpose
is to prevent th poaaU)IUty. any of
their patients coming to harm by reason
of having a prescription refilled which
may contain some powerful poison.
Very often, they say, they write pre
scriptions which contain a poisonous
ingredient which if taken oftener than
prescribed would seriously endanger
the lives of their patients. It is to pre
vent any such contingencies that they
have taken these precautions.
Without the cooperation of the drug
gists, however, these orders of the phy
sicians not to refill any of their prescrip
tions would be unsuccessful. While a
very small proportion of the-druggists
about town express themselves in favor
of obeying the instructions of physi
cians in this regard, by far the majority
of them admit that they disregard therm
on every occasion, except In those in
stances in which they know that the
prescription asked for by their custom-
era contain a dangerous poison. The
druggist generally argue that a pre
scription which one of their customers
has paid a physician to secure belongs
to the customer, and that if he wishes
to secure a duplicate or to have it re
nted he 'has a perfect right to do no,
Many of the druggisU my that even if
the physicians gave them orders to re
fuse a duplicate prescription they would
ignore it. St. Lou la Republic,

ACCDSEU OF BDKGLABY.
Former Heppnerlte Gets Into Trouble at
Balenr-Two Other Yonng Men Under
Arrest.
Sometime during Tuesday night or
Wednesday morning,: says tbe 8i:!m
Statesman, tbe room lately oooupied by
the. Mapoot saloon wbh entered enrreo-
titionsly and a quantity of liquor, stored
there by Al. Smith, proprietor, of the
resort,, was abstracted. d'be finger of
suspicion pointed, among others,' to a
yonng fellow named Kellogg, and Chief
of Folioe Dllley last evening started on a
bunt for the fellow. He found his man
standing at tbe rear door of a bouse of
ill-fame near tbe fire bell. When Kel
logg oaugbt sight of tbe marshal he evi
dently euspeoted tbe officer's mission,
for he started on a run for Liberty
street and dasbed down that thorough
fare, evidently intending to get out of
the oity. , Chief Dilley started in hot
persuit, bnt was nnable to overtake the
young fellow, Be, however, ohased the
fugitive through several streets to the
river bank at tbe foot of Union street.
where Kellogg ' disappeared, and the
most diligent eeBroh Niled to reveal his
whereabouts, ..., . ,. i ; .
The ohief was oovered from head to
foot with a beautiful coating of mud. a
a result of bis obese, but none tbe less
determined to arrest Kellogg and make
him face his accusers This was done
at a late hour last night wbec Kellogg
and several other young men were ar
rested noon the obarge of . burglarizing
the saloon. Their examinations will
probably be held today, ,
Tbe correspondent of the Oregonlan
says in the Saturday issue, nnder date
of tbe 19th ins! , William Dawne, Sam
uel Minner and Gibson MoFadden today
had a preliminary examination before
Reoorder Edes on the charge of robbery
in a, saloon, '.They were bound over to
the grand jury in the sum of 8260. Mo
Fadden furnished bonds, and the other
two were, remanded to jail.
Young Dawne, or Kellogg, as he is
sometimes nulled, being the stepson of
Mr. Frank Kellogg, is a bright yonng
fellow and very well known in Heppner
wbere he formerly lived, it is to be
hoped that there is some mistake about
ths. and it innooant that be will have
no difficulty in proving himself so. '

A SIZZLING SPOT.
Yuma Is the Moat Torrid Town in
the United States.
Temperature Exceeding One Hnndre De
grees for Days at a Time Deserts Tbat
Slake It Unnecessary to Uuard
, ..Desperate Couvlots. , , -,'. .
, Eastern people who prate aibout heat
ed terms and tlee to the mountains' or
seasliore upon the approach of a brief
period when the temperature is among
the 90's 'should consider the case of a
town where the temperature 11 from
about Uie middle of June to early Oc
tober ranges all the way from 90 to
120 degrees in the shade, and occa
sionally goes to 123 degrees for a few
hours, suggests a Yuma (Ariz,) corre
spondent. 1 What would tiie'y think of
n temperature for a full month of not
less than 97, or two weeks at a time
when the temperature has varied from
108 to 115, and of a week when the ther
mometer has stood at over 112 in the
shade?
This is what the residents of this
quaint old town of Yuma experience
regularly each summer. So far this
season ' Yuma has had two spells of
weather when the mercury climbed up
to 117 in the shade every morning for a.
few successive days, and descended to
90 to 100 at night. From June 10 to June
14 the daily temperature here ranged
from 107 to 114. From June 18 to
June 21 inclusive, the temperature on
each afternoon would go as high aa 117
in the shnde.
All conditions seem to unite to make
Yuma the hot summer spot it la. It is
located in a kind of basin on the edge of
the lazy, muddy Colorado river, which
meanders through desert sands and
adobe soil down to the gulf of Cali
fornia Away to 'the weat, across the
river ' and to the south stretches the Col
orado desert, several thousand square
miles in area. It is so merciless, ghost
ly and fierce a desert waste that few
dare cross it by wagon or on foot tri
the Bummer months, and in winter or
early spring travelers are careful to be
accompanied by a companion or two
and supplied with an abundance of
drinking water and food. '
Every summer venturesome miners
lose their lives in trying to cross the
dese.rt by being overtaken by a sand
storm or weakened unto death by the
dreadful (heat. To the north there are
vast plains and uplands of barren, sun-
bnken adobe aoil, and a peculiar forma
tion of lava and soft granite, the re
mains of numerous extinct volcanoes.

WHAT OUK EXCHANGES SAY,
The evidence that the governor of the
state should oall an extra session of the
Legislature is materially enbanoed by
the proposition of the authorities of
Multnomah and other oounties to with
hold the state taxes that may be oolloot-
ed under the assessmsnts of 1896 and
1897vand apply the same to 1 payment of
oounty indebtedness. This is directly
in cpnfliot with the law and bo far as the
oounty treasurer is ooocerned, he will be
criminally liable if he is guilty of so
open neglect of doty and will forfeit
twenty per oent of amount so withheld,
as well as bis offioe and will be a public
defaulter. The probability' is, that
oounty treasurers in Oregon, will hesi
tate before placing themselves in this
questionable position.' Let the governor
ot tbe state do bia duty in this matter
rather than by his negleot, encourage
what is a plain violation of law. Hills

There Is evidently a kind side to bia na

reporter cornered mo just after I
landed. I treated him kindly, but aald
firmly that I waa not to lie Inter

a aadnesa in li 1st voice. 'I ask a much
greater favor than that, It turned out
that the reporter hail an AiiMtrallan

greatest liencflt to the country. No
paper would print It. Ilia modest re

put forth Ilia theory as the scheme of
the novelist. They will print It, he
said, 'If I give It aa coming from you.
'All right,' agreed Kipling, 'fire ahead.'
