No SCHOOL BALL.-At the request Of
the Trustees, we last week announced Q
School Ball for next Friday evening. II
was then the intention of the Trustees t.
give dance in the new School Building
for which it was expected to charge 81
per ticket, with the hope of realizing 8
considerable sum to aid in the purchase
o. school furniture. The question being
mooted about town, many expressed ep.
position to so high a price, the majority
seeming to favor 80 tickets. Close calcu.
culations based on this figure, revealed
that there was no money in it, the pros
pectve profits barely equallng the reas.
enable estimate Of the cost Of lunch
prepared by the ladies. All who have
ever had anything to do with School
or other public balls well know that there
is much work and but little glory obtain
able therefrom, and when there is no
profit in prospective, there is no encour-
agement to go on ; therefore the Trus-
eoos huNo uOSiGOu w give nv ouiA Nv ploo-
snt.
The ladies', ever alive to matters of this
kind, met in force at the School House
Tuesday afternoon, as last week requested
by the Trustees. All seemd to favor Civ
ing a dance, and unanimously signiied
their willingness and pleasure to aid all
in their power in getting up lunch and
otherwise assisting in the matter. How
ever, they very wisely agreed that there
was bat little object in working several
days to get up ball for the benefit OF
those who were willing to pay only three
dollars, when the whole affair would net
little or nothing to the School Fund. The
fact that the building might not be in
good condition for dancing owing to the
freshness of paint and oil, also figured in
the postponement. 1t was further sug-
gested that a Ball be given on Thanks
giving for School purposes, but we believe
that double the amount of money can be
realized by voluntary absorption a,
nearly every one will give the price of 9
Ball Ticket or more, and then it will be
all clear gain and 60 directly to the pur
chase of School Furniture.

TRICHINA SPIRALIS.
Two Cases in johnson COunty-Dr.
Shadburn's DiagnOsis-COnd

Special to the Republican,

Special to the Republican,
SEDA1LA, Mo, May 26.-Yesterday your
correspondent went to Windsor, Henry coun-
ty, and had a lengthy interview with, DIR.
Richard l.. Shadburn, who, as family physl-
clan of James Darnell, has charge of his two
children afflicted with trichina spiralis. Mr..
Darnell is farmer, residing four miles north
of that place, In johnson county. On April
25th, DIR. Shadburn was first called to see
the patient, a daughter aged eleven or
twelve years. The first symptom that at
tracted the patients attention was swelling
about the eyelids, which gradually extended
to the face, neck and arms. During the de-
velopment of this symptom, vomiting, gas
trio irritability, abdominal pans and fever
made their appearance. The case was new
one to him, and he called again the following
day, finding her condition about the same.
She was still vomiting, and at this visit had
a temperature of one hundred and three de-
grees. Her pulse was frequent, rather fee
bic, and her voice becoming hoarse. Inquiry
was then made regarding her food, when the
fact was developed that she had eaten of new
raw ham while the mother was slicing 1t
preparatory to cooking. The diagnosis,
coupled with this admission, led to the con-
cusion that she was suffering from
trichina. After the lapse of sew
ND in the lower limbs, attended
limbs half flexed, she lay upon the bed with
fever, profuse perspiration, and manifesting
disposition to be let alone. She was I'M
able to either stand alone or walk. Her ap-
petite was very feeble, craving nothing but
an occasional drink of cool water. This had
been her general condition. Within the last
day or two, however, she is feeling more
comfortable, During the first week DIR.
Sutherland, of Ell Dorado, was called In con-
sultation, and agreed in DIR. Stadium s
diagnosis. The ham, from which the affected
slice was taken, had been thrown away by
the family, which unfortunately prevented a
microscopical examination. The condition of
| the other sister, likewise similarly affected,
| was identical with the one given, except that
she had diarrhea in the beginning of the at
| tack. In regard to treatment, he had simply
tried to palliate the patients sufferings, and
| used measures calculated to sustain and hold
| her up against exhaustion. If successful In
| this for week or ten days more, the trichina
may then become encisted in a capsule, that,
| in the course Of time, undergoes calcareous
| transformation, which, if it does not kill,
will confine the parasite to narrow limits.
| Although trichina was first discovered more
| than half century ago, and frequently re-
| ported in the old world and many of the mid
| die and eastern States, this was the first in
stance in his knowledge of a veritabe case in
central Missouri. DIR. Shadburn is a native
| Missourian, and graduate of the Louisville
medical college,

Oil City Derrick: Yesterday a strange
man, carrying what appeared to be a small
coffin, passed in front of the oil exchange
He was a sad-faced man, and his black suit
glistened In the sunlight like an armor. He
put down his strange burden, and bowed to
the men standing around. Then casting his
eye up at the building, he began: Gentle
men, | congratulate you. You have reared
here structure which is second to none In
this country. When you shall have gone to
that bourne from whence no traveller re-
turns" and he glanced sorrowfully at the
little coffin, this beautiful building will re-

tapped the coffin reverently with his cane,

WHEELING, w. VA, May 26.-An unpar-
alleled case of rape upon well-known young
lady by her father has turned up at Clarks-
burg, in this State. James G. Taylor, we'll
to-do farmer and prominent member OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, has a daughter
aged seventeen, who is famous for her beauty
and has always borne an excellent character.
For nearly year Taylor has been making
improper advances to her, telling her that a
daughter belonged tc her father soul and
body and he could do as he desired with her.
She weuld not listen to him, and last week
he dragged her into a stable, gagged and
bound her, and then outraged her. The hor-
rlble crime was repeated several times, but as
he threatened to murder the wife and the
girl if they betrayed him, they said nothing
about it until Wednesday, when they told the
wife of neighbor. She told her husband,
who organized party who arrested Taylor
and turned him over to the authorities. At
an examination before magistrate Mrs. lay
lor and her daughter swore to the truth of
the above story, and Taylor is now in Jail. A
heavy guard is placed around the Jail TO pro-
tect the prisoner, as the people threaten a
repetition of the Wallace lynching if they lay
their hands on him.

ing of my arrival visited the king s opera,
and was fortunate to procure good seat. 1t
had been my desire to see King William and
the crown prince, which was already graft
fed the first evening, as both OF them, with
the crown prince of Austria, who was visit
ing Berlin at the time, came to the theater
shortly after l was seated. As | was sitting
right opposite to them, had good view of
these illustrious dignitaries. Those who saw
King William, with firm step, enter the
theater, little thought it took eighty-One
years to bleach that now perfectly white
hair. His appearance would indicate sixty In
stead of eighty-ona. The playing of the
company and orchestra was very good, and
was listened TO by an immense audience.
