LONDON, Nov. 1.-The SUMS Berne cor
respondent had an Interview to-day with
a Russian refugee, savant, who de-
clined to allow his name to be published,

plotters against the government through
out Russia. The statements which have
appeared in the papers of late regardn &
the condition of Nihilism he declared
misleading and inaccurate.
"Nihilism." he said, "is at present de-
pressed, and unity in the direction of Ell

made to remove our enemies were due to

Tho Joints OF Mans Body Turn
Into Solid Bone.

Into Solid Bone.
ELMIRA, \. Y, Nov. IA physician OF
this city recently visited Jonathan Bass,
of Cambria, Niagara county, whose case
is believed to be without parallel in
medical records. Mr.. Bass is 90 Years OF
age. In the summer of 1S4S he was seized
with sharp pain IN the bottom OF his
right foot. No cause for it could be dis
covered. The foot and leg became greatly
swollen, and during the next nine years
all the joints in his body became slowly
anc5 ylosed, or grown into solid bone. In
1857 he was placed ON an iuvalid's bed
and has never been removed from it. so
completely consolidated are all his joints,
including the spine. that be may be lifted
by the placing OF a hand under his head
and one under his heels, his weight being
but D pounds. The bones OF the fingers
Of the right hand. OF the entire left hand,
and of the toes of both feet have been en-
tirely absorbed, and the flesh of the
fingers and toes bangs down like fringe.
MIR. Bass jaws are tightly locked, but be
manages to eat the heartlest meals with
out masticatiOn and without suffering in
convenience. Pork and other meat is cut
in thin STRIPS, which he draws into his
mouth by sucking through the narrow
opening between his upper and lower
teeth. He eats the latest meat. Since
1869 he has been totally blinS. His heart
is inches lower than the usual posi-
ton of that organ, but is perfectly
sound, as are all of the invalid's vital
parts. The nails on his fingers have
grown to nearly a foot in length
Mr.. Bass IS man of more than aver
age Intelligence, and keeps himself posted
on all questions Of the day. He converses
with ease, and is lively and cheerful. His
constitutional health is so good that ply
sicians agree that he will live beyond the
allotted time of the most active man.

1t has generally been supposed by those
unfamiliar with medical and surgical
science that man cannot live with a
broken neck. Considerable interest is
manifested in the case OF Andrew Ham
iltOn who, according to a dispatch from
Barabos, Wis, had his neck broken in
Evansville, Wis, last Sunday and lived
several days. The dispatch concluded
with the statement: This Is sup posed to
be the first case on record OF a person
living 50 long with a broken neck" On
account of the curiosity and interest felt
in what appeared TO be an extraordinary
case. reporter called on DR.. Il. S. Con-
ner, the eminent surgeon, who has haa
great experience in all such fractures.

THAT depends upon where his neck was
broken. If it was above the point of the
phrenic nerve death would result instan-
taneously or within a very short time.
This was probably fracture OF the lower
VertebT9 which causes paralysis. There
are cases on record of this character, and
are not uncommon. One man lived eleven
days, another fifteen weeks, another four
months, another fifteen months. and still
another fourteen years. a dislOcated
neck does not necessarily produce death,
unless the spinal cord is snapped. | am
satisfied that IN the case you mention the
fracture was below the second cerVicle

cord has not been severe injured men have

SPRING always brings a great many
novelties into the market, and often
leaves on the merchants hands great
many goods which have to be closed out
at reduced prices in order to make room
for the new. Just look at the goods that
o. Torrison is now closing out. There
are 80 ladies jackets which have hitherto
been sold at from 2 to dollars each,
which are now selling at dollars apiece.
They are just the thing for spring wear.
Another thing that you can now get for
almost nothing is a fine rag carpet.
These carpets are of the best manufacture
and in order to close them out we are
now selling them all at the low price of
Doc. per yard. Having now completed
our new carpet room we have put in a
larger stock of all kinds of carpets than
we have ever carried before, and if you
are DESTROYS of seeing beautiful sight
you should not fail to see our carpet
room and the carpets which are adjoining
it. Ladies, your attention is invited to
our new and varied lot of dress trim
mings and buttons. The latter include
the latest sizes and range in price all the
way from 25c. to s. 80 per dozen. The
assortment is large and you can easily be
suited at 0. Torrison's store.

BINDING TWINE.

Our carload of binding Irvine has Just
arrived. Come and look at it; it is the
best Irvine that was ever brought to this
city. Oar Irvine will fit any machine,
such as the New Esterly, the Buckeye,
the New Triumph, the Duringer, the
Champion, the Plano, the McC ormick, the
Walter A. Wood, the Peerless and in fact
all machines made. Some machine
agents are trying to stuff the farmers by
telling them not to buy the twine of q
merchant who does not sell machines. and
they advise the farmers to buy the Irvine
from the agent who sold them the ma
chimes. They tell you that their tvine
is manufactured expressly for their ma
chimes; they Cont say that it will not
WORK in other machines, oh, mol Here
is the true story. The manufacturers of
these self binders do not make rope or
twines, not one of them, but they buy
it just where we bought our Irvine, from
the rope manufacturers, and each manu-
facturer makes 3 or different qualities of
binding Irvine. The best Irvine made
this year is called Standard, this is made
of sisal and ] MANILA, the Irvine we get
is of last years stock which is not made
this year because they claim it costs too
much and people will not pay the differ
ence; this twine is called half and half.
half sisal and half MANILA, and comes
branded MANILA from the factory. Every
farmer knows that MANILA rope costs al
ways from to 5 cents per pound more
than sisal rope; SO do not allow yourself
to be led astray in this way. We do not
ask you not to buy twine from an agent.
but claim that we have the best Irvine
and will save you lots of money if YOU
buy from US. Come, place your order
and we will keep it for you until harvest.
you need not pay for it until that time.
and if you have not got the money then
we will take your note until after harvest.

MANITowoC RAPIDS has been busy the
past few years in making history and if
it be true that "the country which has no
history is happy one," the town with
the liquid name must be frowned on by
fortune. Its contest with the county on
the question of equitable taxation is a
memorable one. Its bridges and the
difficulties with the county in connection
Herewith are still matter of contention
and its latest trouble with its town treas
urer is another source of woe. There
seems to be fighting chance than Kug-
ler's bonds are not liable for the loss and
that the town must grin and bear it. 1t
is said that for years the town board in
settling with its treasurer accepted his
report of so much cash on hand without
requiring him to produce it, and it is
now argued that the shortage is the
growth of years and that the present
bonds are not responsible. An offer was
made to the town board to compromise
the matter by the payment o. a portion
of what the town has lost, but the offer
was refused. The matter will without
much doubt be litigated. The several
school districts propose to shorten school
terms and thus seek compensation for
the loss sustained. There is growing
probability that there'll be Emusic in
the air."

AN EYEOPENER.

Becker & Teitgen advertise that they
are not selling out, but claim to sell as
cheap as those that claim they are selling
out at cost (and are constantly getting in
new goods.) They do not mention any
names, but might just as we'll have done
so, as we are the only hardware firm
which is selling out at cost. Their ar
ticls is too silly for anything. Every
body will understand that in order to sell
out any business, no matter what kind it
might be, the leading articles must not
be allowed to -un out because they help
to work off the other goods. We will
say right here that WE ARE constantly
getting in such goods and everybody
excepting fool knows that this must be
done. We are selling stacks of goods.
Our store is always crowded with GUS
toners. Why? not because we are sell
ing only the leaders cheap, but because
we are selling everything that we have
in the store at cost and the price is what
tells the story and not a newspaper blow.

Although we are not selling
cut, we claim that we are sell
ing goods as cheap as, and in
many instances cheaper, than
those that claim they are sell
ing out at cost (and are con-
stantly getting in new goods
Our customers and the public
in general, should not be led
astray by the announcement
that some one is selling out,
but should convince them
selves by coming to us and get
our prices on all goods, and
then they will find that they
can buy cheaper of us, except
ing perhaps, those staple ar
ticles that are thrown out as
bats. We again handle Mon
arch Mixed Paint for this sea-
son. This paint is 4 pounds
heavier to the gallon than

edged to be the best paint in

MAYOR RAHR at the last meeting of
the council suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of
dredging the river so as to make it
navigable for vessels of deep draught as
far as the railroad docks. Some assur-
ances of increased business were given if
this work was done. Manitewoc is GER
tainly very favorably located for ship
ping point by water and as commerce
always seeks the most favorable channels,
the improvement of the river would nat
urally increase the business of the city.
The suggestion of the mayor is wise
one. The growth of the city is depend
ent upon many different things and not
the least of those is the improvement of
the river,

favorable and a committee is already

Five men have each subscribed $1,000 and
