favorable for smusements we do not doubt
but that the audience will be large one,

WATER WORKS

The members of our City Council and City
Council of Davsnport, together with any
others who may desire, go TO Peoria tomor.
row, to inspect the Holly system of Water
Works, with the view Of introducing them
into this city. The people of Davenport
have been discussing the subject for some
time, and it is quite probable when they re-
turn from Peoria, that their Council will no
longer hesitate to pass the necessary ordin-
snce. Parties have stood ready for some
months to furnish the necessary capital to
put the work into operation in Daven port,
but they could not induce the Council to
pass liberal ordinance. SO strongly
in favor of the Holly system are the people,
that the Council City Attorney and others,
have determined to see the system in opera
ton.
With us, the case is somewhat different,
as public opinion seems to be that the city
must do the work, and thus be in control OF
the matter, and to possess the revenue de-
rived from it. This is right, and will event.
usse in the citY's having either q source Of
of large revenue, or else have free water

THE WOUND

strikes line from between the eyebrows
through the centre of the left ear to the
back Of the neck from the back of the
neck around just below the RICH: ear to the
point where the eye opens, and you have
very nearly the outline of the wound the
entire scalp above that line having been
torn of, carrying with it both eyebrows, the
upper half OF one ear and the whole Of the
other, leaving the entire skull exposed white
and CHASTITY. The chief point of medical
insesest in his unfortunate case was disA-
greement between the attendant Doctors,
on replacing the scalp, which is thus related
by the Gazette
DR.. Winchester thinking ii should be, and
DR.. Clark thinking it should not DR.. Win
chester gave as his reason for his theory,
that if the girl should recover with an ex-
posed skull the recovery could be bat tenn
porary that if the scalp would grow
fast again the cure might be permanent;
that the scalp was the natural, therefore
the proper dressing, and should be
placed back so that the girl should have
the benefit of the chance, though slight, Of
its growing on, which she certainly would
not have if it we're left off. DR.. Clark claim
ed on the contrary, that it was not the prop
err dressing, and that TO replace il would les
sen the girls chance of recovery.
1t was finally decided to adopt DR.. WIS
theory and it was replaced. -Four days have
passed, and at the present writing Judge
Wilcox, at whose residence the girl is iiv'
ing, expresses belief that the experiment
will prove a success; the scalp has every
appearance of being healthy, and the pa
tient says that, if she can be judge from
the feeling, her head is well. She still suf
fers from the strain of the neck. Up TO to
| day she had eaten nothing except in liquiC
form, bus is now able to eat. Should sht
recover aud the scalp attach itself, it will b,
one of the most wonderful cures on record
The attending physician expresses no apin
ion in regard to it; other practitioner
seem to think that recovery is next to i'm
possible.
