YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

In the State Dental society, yesterday
afternoon was devoted to Dr. Moody's
essay on "Post-Graduate Study," followed
by a general discussion of it, and
miscellaneous business. A resolution
was unanimously adopted tendering the
thanks of the society to Mr. Ben Harper,
proprietor of the Harper house, for the
hospitality and excellent fare afforded the
members, and particularly the clerks and
steward, "who have spared no efforts to
make our stay pleasant and agreeable."

THIS MORNING

was devoted principally to the business
of the society. Among other expenditures
voted was that $100 be placed in
the hands of the state board of examiners
for use if necessary. Drs. L. E.
Snyder, of Henry, and G. B. Dillon, of
Sterling, were elected members, and
several suggestions were offered as to revisions
of the laws of the society and
code. Dr. J. G. Reid, of Chicago, read
an essay on "Oral Chemistry" which led
to an interesting discussion and Dr.
Black gave another of his talks on micro-
organisms.

The society then proceeded to wind
up its business, and extended its session
through the noon hour in order to dispense
with reassembling in the afternoon. The
