Nineteen Amputations Upon Three Per-
sons.

6oh6
Laramie City (Wy. IT, Boomerang.
The Boomerang doubts if any practitioner
in this section of the footstool ever put in a
day in times of peace as did DIR. Harris and
his assistants at the city hospital last Wednes-
day. Some time since three persons-Chris.
Bertram, A. J. Daugherty and J. f. jaeger
were brought to this city in a badly frozen
condition and placed in the hospital for treat
ment, and on the day mentioned above ex-
actly nineteen amputations were made from
the persons of these three men. The task
was a very difficult one, and left the sufferers
in a badly mutilated condition; but, thanks
to the skillfulness with which the operations
were performed, all are getting along finely.
The man Bertram was employed as a sheep
berder on a ranch near Green river, and dur
ing the recent severe storm became lost liz
the snow, and was found with both feet badly
frozen. AmputatioD was, of course, neces-
sary, and DR.. Harris took away the front
part of each foot.
Daugherty was a s~tage-driver, and almost
met death in the terrible storm, together
with the passengers in his care, He will live.
however, but after passing through DIR. Har-
ris's hands Wednesday he was minus his left
foot from above the ankle, his right foot
from the instep joint, parts of three fingers
on his right hand, and parts of two on his
left hand. What remains of him is in prime
condition, and there can be no doubt Of his
recovery.
J. f.. JAEGER, a Swede, was a cowboy on Yam
KEGS ranch, and became lost in a storm
while hunting horses. He was so terribly
frozen that it was necessary to take off both
legs at the junction of the lower third, and
also all the fingers of both hands.
AS a case of wholesale carving this takes
the cake

Mr.. GiIdllap,

A. O. wyman Appointed as Successor to
Mr.. Gilhllan.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The President to-
day appointed A. U. Wyman, assistant-treas-
urer of the United States, to be treasurer,
vice James Gilfllan, whose resignation has
been accepted, to take effect on the first
prox. Mr.. Wyman will secure his bond and
qualify by that date. He was almost over
whelmed with congratulations this after
noon.
The POND of the treasurer is $3.50, 900, and
it must be approved by the Secretary of the
Treasury before he can quality. 1t will also
be necessary for the Secretary to appoint a
commission to verify the treasury balance
on the 3tst OF March, so the funds may be
transferred to a new incumbent for the
opening of business on the first proximo,
when he will assume the duties of his Office.
The Sc lection of assistant-treasurer, which
office will be made vacant by the promotion
of Mr.. Wyman, will depend entirely upon
she wishes of the new Treasurer, 1t is pretty
well settled that the appointment will be
made from the Treasurer's Office.

A CHANCE FOR ARTISTS.
The Italian Government Invites Designs
for n Monument.

for a Monument.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The Department
of State has been informed that the italian
government desires to invite artists of all
nations to compete in furnishing designs for
a national monument to be erected at Rome,
in honor of King Victor Emmanuel. The
monument is to consist of a bronze eques-
TRAN statue of Victor Emmanuel, and of a
base at least thirty metres wide and twenty
nine metres high in its central portion; its
height elsewhere is to be at least twenty-four
metres. The base is to consist of an archi-
tectural design of any form that
may be selected by the artists.
The steps leading to the esplanade
on which the monument is to be placed will
be considered part of the monument. Plans
may be sent in from Nov. 10 to Dec. 10,
1883. A royal commission will decide upon
the design, and the successful artist will be
entitled to receive 5000 francs as a prize;
1000 francs additional will be divided by the
commission among the most meritoFious
competitors. The ground plan for the site
where the monument is to be constructed
can be seen at the Department of State,
where additional information on the subject
can be obtained by artists desiring to COM
pete in offering designs.

The Treasury Department Trying to Con-
strue the New Revenue Law.
WAsHINGToN, March ia question has
arisen in the Treasury Department in regard
10 the following provisions Of the tobacco
schedule in the new tariff act:
Leaf tobacco of which So per cent. is of
the requisite size and OF the necessary fine
ness of texture to be suitable for wrappers,
md of which more than 100 leaves are re-
quired to weigh a pound, if not stemmed, IS
cents per pound; if stemmed, ST."
The doubt is as to whether the So per cent.
Is to be computed upon the whole quantity
of tobacco embraced in the invoice, or upon
the contents of each separate package. The
matter has been referred to the collectors of
customs at New York and Boston, with in
structions to consult the trade and report q
rule for the government of the department
on this question.

and the Denver & Rio Grande is built through

grandest piece of engineering on the Ameri-
can continent. The river is very swift, and
it is proposed to build a boat at the western
end and provision it for a length of time, al
lowing it to float with the stream, but con-
trolled by ropes. If the boat goes the chances
are that the baby road goes, too.

His leanings now politically are decidedly

WASHINGTON, March Is. additional charges

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Insane ASYLUM ImbrorIio.

The Insane Asylum Imbroglio.
To the Editor Of the Indianapolis JouTnss:
The disgraceful quarrel between Drs.
Walker and Rogers is but a sequence of the
raid OF the politicians began on the benevo-
lent institutions our years ago. Neither
DIR. Rogers nor Mr.. Fishback is entitled to
any sympathy for his recent discontinue.
You forget the past when you espouse their
side of the quarrel. You forget that each of
them gained his position through an effort
to disgrace the best superintendent the In
sane Asylum ever had! Do you remember
the ~trumped-up charges against DR.. Everts?
The investigation and the disgracef al quarrel
and law suit over the price to be paid for the
nefarious service? Mr.. Fishback has not for
gotten it. The founder of the Blind Asylum,
the sensitive, educated c%hurchman, sleeps in
his grave as a victim of this foul conspiracy;
and when DR.. Walker says, II made the
damned r~ascals," he says what others of the
gang said four years ago.
What the honor OF the State demands is
that the whole pack be cleaned out, and men
whose garments are not stained put in the
places once filled by eminent, honorable
men. MEXICO.

Women and the Lafayette Suit.

OhEENsBURG, lnu.
Women and the Lafayette Suit.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis JOurnai:
From our Utmost hearts we thank the good
God that the famous SANDER suit" at Lafay-
cite is drawing to a close.
1t has dragged its slow length through the
weeks till we are wearied with loathsome de-
tails and shocked at the depth of deprayity
displayed by those who, presumably in the
interests of publiG0 virtue and justice, have
tried to ferret out every secret OF a woman's
life, because, forsooth, she dared attempt
vindication of herself against foul SANDER
and calumny. We're it not for the humilia-
ton of such a spectacle, as men in their
stronghold, backed by the customs and the
laws of years, we could pity, but that is too
tame al expression, while virtually every
mother, wife, daughter and sister is on trial,
and at the mercy of men VINO, clothed with a
little brief authority, degrade the whole sex
by base insinuations.
We trust the legal profession there repre-
sented may nave their full measure of salts
faction from this most excellent opportunity
offered for the display of their peculiar
talent" May they also (some time) know
the workings of the law of compensation
and retributive justice, for surely good must
come out of so much evil if we patiently
bide our time.
May all men who nave lSitherto been in
different alike of the rights and wrongs of
women, take heed to the summing up of
evidence in this notorious matter, at least
defending their own from similar dangers,
while women, who are not hopelessly stupid
and incident, should rise in their strength
and demand for themselves and their sex
equality before the law.
In the interest of womankind, we thank
Tense of the sex, and especially of the one
brave woman, so cruelty maligned; mo
ticeably, the Terre Haute Courier with others
whose names we do not r~eoall,)
Just here we would enter our protest
against the attitude of women as suppliants
for that which is conceded by the ablest men
to be their natural right. We have honest
pity (slightly tlnctured with contempt) for
the woman who denies her birthright, and
will not take the trouble fit herself for full
equality with the man by whose side she
walks, and whose life she shares. Shame for
her that she consents to be the mother OF his
children, with the admission that she is, in
an important sense, his inferIorl Alasl for
the pride or the holiness of motherhood
when women who bear it's greatest response
bility fail to comprehend it!
Shall we ever attain our "full s~tature'' as
men and women, or comprehend the term
"liberty,n in its broadcast and deepest sense,
its entire significance2 In hope we wait,
