ANOTHER LETTER FROM TopEKl

the members from Allen, Funston and
Stewart, would have preferred to leave
of the kaw river counties, douglass
and Wyandott) and take in Cohey,
Woodson aud Lyon, but this does not
seem possible. The question which has
been the question Of the session, Rail
road Legislation, is inst now in mud
die. The Senate has passed purely
commissioners bill and desire to say
q very good one.
The House has passed a strong
"Maximum rate" and commission bill
and the two Houses having refused
to agree, a conference committee has
been appointed and are to-day in ses-
sion. From the known complexion OF
the committee it is certain they will
never agree and there are those that
think the radical men who want the
most extreme legislation and those
who do not want railroad legislation
will unite and defeat all legislation
on the subject. But do not enter
tain any such opinion myself, I
know thot good many members of
the House, who framed the Honse bill,
are Of the opinion that the Senate bill
will do better than nothing; if nothing
better eau be had will vote for 1t, and
Of this number Stewart, of Allen Is
one.
The committee on Temperance, of
which youc representative is chairman,
returned three bills this morning that
had been referred to them, and offered
substitute for all which provides for
several changes in the present law.
Persons may obtain int cxicatjng
liquors of any one having permits to
sell, Oh their own application made i'm
writing, doing away with the pre-
scriptions. All fines now made 500
are reduced to $50. Persons may
make wine or cider from grapes or APP
pies grown themselves, and religious
societies may buy wine for sacrament
tai purposes. The bill was agreed to
by the Temperance Committee of both
houses and ought to pass but the
whiskey men, while not having a ma
jority, still have enough to delay leg
and by that means may de-
feat the bill.
The legislature has got right down
10 business, meeting three times day
and are pushing things.

number which attended from here. The
procession formed near the junction of
the Cleveland IL Pittsburgh and Fort
Wayne railroads, with the City Band at
its head, and paraded through most of the
principal streets of the city to the square,
where the meeting of the evening was
held. Large displays of fireworks were
made along the route of the procession,
one of the chief features of which was a
large boat drawn on wheels, bearing on
its stern the sign, ITO Salt River" and
containing a number of discOnsOlate

Having had ample opportunity of
knowing the cause of the death of Mrs.
MOke, we can say positively that no frac-
ture of the jaw existed as the result of
the extraction of a tooth, nor had the
extraction anything to do directly or
indirectly with the cause of her death;
and any statements to the contrary are
the result either of ignorance or malice,
as she had true bone cancer, the disease
having been developing for some time
prior to the time of the removal of the
tooth. T. H. PHILLIPS, NJ. d.

To this we say that mother never had
any trouble about her face OF sign of
bone cancer; neither DIR. COnklin ever
examined her mouth, nor did he see her
face for over five months after she was
injured.

Remarkable Surgery.

We have referred to the wonderful
success of surgery, within these later
years, in operations the most skilled
would not have dared attempt a gen
Grafton ago. Such are the removal of
the larynx Vocal '0v), supplying its
place with a metaluc substitute; cut
ting out the larger portion of the
stomach and bringing the divided parts
successfully together; the same with
several feet of intestines the saving
of a hand for service, most of the
bones of which had been crushed be-
meath a huge trip-hammer.
These and kindred facts are of in
t@erest, not simply as illustrating the
advance made in surgical skill and
daring, but as suggesting the amazing
resources of the physical system for
the repair of injury.
Internal ailments once thought to
be inevitably fatal, and large assesses
formerly difficult of cure, can now
especially with the aid of disinfectants
be handled with comparative ease,
ether or some other a%nasthetic con-
tributing to the success of the opera
ton by giving the operator a more alb
solute control of his subject.
These facts encoul age the unfor-
tunate and their friends to hope for
the best in the most trying circum-
stances; and they condemn those ply
sicians who hastily advise the sacrifice
of an important part of the body. We
have no doubt that many who came
out of the war manned might have
saved their lost limbs.
The following remarkable cas- oc-
CURED about three years ago in North
Carolina. A white. delicate girl ha |
her hand completely severed from the
arm by an ak. The physician, not
being in a condition to amputate the
arm above the wrist, replaced the
hand, securing it with silver stitches
and adhesive plaster, and having
bound both arm and hand to a broad
splint, ordered them to be kept warm
with hot dannel cloth. The third day
pulsation could be plainly felt in the
hand, which had also changed its
color. Says the physician in charge:
81 removed the sutures ON the four
teenth day, and afterward she carried
the hand in a sling, and is now-three
months after the accident-able to ex-
tend the fingers and grasp with nearly
the usual strength" The joint re-
tanned its free motion.-Youth's Com
