The session of this Society, at Hannibal, a detailed report of which appears in this issue of THE MEDICAL HERALD, was the best, in many respects, held for several years, and President Richmond had every reason to feel proud of the representative assemblage of Missouri's professional men. The scientific portion of the program is well portrayed in our "Society" department. The social features, under the management of Drs. Baskett, Chowning, Hornbeck and Howell, assisted by their estimable ladies, were a source of great pleasure to the visitors, and included a trip to the famous "Mark Twain" cave, a carriage ride for the ladies, a banquet, the climax being reached on Thursday evening, when the guests were driven out to the "Sni E'Carte" club house and treated to a most delightful "fish-fry" and hop. THE HERALD is under obligations to the Arrangement Committee and to Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Knott, of the Morning Journal, for many courtesies. Following is the list of officers: President, C. Lester Hall, of Kansas City; First Vice-President, J. H. Thompson, Kansas City; Second Vice-President, H. C. Shutlee, West Plains; Third Vice-President, J. D. Potts, Boone ville; Fourth Vice-President, Edw. Borck, St. Louis; Fifth Vice-President, J. J. Russell, California; Recording Secretaries, Frank R. Fry, of St. Louis, and Thomas B.

Fisk were appointed committee on award of prize. Railroads have reduced rates. A most excellent program has been prepared, and the profession of Denver promise a general good time. DR. J. E. SUMMERS, JR. We present our readers this month with a photo-gravure likeness of Dr. J. E. Summers, Jr., President-elect of the Nebraska State Medical Society, and the Western Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Dr. Summers is personally known to a great many of our subscribers, who will doubtless be glad to hear that honors are coming upon him thick and fast. In connection with his portrait, a brief sketch of his medical career will prove interesting: Dr. Summers is thirty-seven years of age, and a graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York City, class of 1881. He is the son of Colonel J. E. Summers, U. S. Army. Soon after graduating in medicine, Dr. Summers entered the army, serving in the West for two years, when he resigned and went to Europe, where he remained two years devoting himself to the study of surgery. On his return from abroad, he entered the practice of surgery and gynecology as a specialty in the city of Omaha. Dr. Summers has been the Professor of Principles and Practice of Surgery and Clinical Surgery in the Omaha Medical College for a number of years; is the surgeon-in-chief to the Clarkson Memorial Hospital, and visiting surgeon to the Douglas County Hospital. Dr. Summers was married a short time ago to the daughter of Mr. Geo. Hoagland of Omaha, and the granddaughter of Mr. Geo. T. Hoagland of St. Joseph. His contributions to medical journals have been numerous and characterized by sterling worth. A great career of usefulness has opened before him, and his friends believe that he will prove himself equal to any responsibilities thrown upon him. 285 JOURNAL LIST OF ST.
