LEWISTON. IDAHO. AUGUST z. 1890.

DIR. NJ. A. Kelly was called to Pa
louise City last week to perform deli
cate surgical operation. A large alb
scess forming in the thigh of the pa
tient had caused necrosis In process of
the femur. An incision was made ex-
posing the bone. The portion de-
cayed was removed and the surface
carefully scraped. The operation was
one taking care and skill but resulted
very successfully.
We are sorely grieved to learn that
our worthy contemporary, Col. F. J.
Parker, of the Statesman, was seriously
injured over OF Yaquina Bay, while
trying to ride wild cayuse, intending
thereon to meet his wife and children
at the Elk City depot The horse
reared up and then fell back with him.
The pommel of the saddle hurt the
colonels groin, and he may suffer from
the hurt for life. Still, we hope for the
best.-Walla Walla Journal.
VIM. P. Glenn, of Wciser, Idaho, in
q characteristic letter announces that
he will in the near future start at that
place newspaper, cl r stened "The
New Era" "a dyed-in-the-wool Re-
publican sprinter, that knows no
north, no south, no east, no west, and
has nothing at heart but the interests
of the State of Idaho" Mr.. Glenn is a
veteran newspaper man and there is
no doubt that his sprinter will be near
the front of the field, a prime favorite.
r. J. Monroe came in from camp on
Soldier Meadows this week for few
days. The Lewistonians encamped
there are enjoying life hugely and
have no thought of returning soon.
Fishing and hunting continue good
and the weather Is delightful. Mr..
Monroe has received private notice of
his appointment as receiver of the land
office, but owing to the red tape con-
nected with all official positions 1t
will be several weeks before he can
enter upon the duties of his office.
BY an oversight we omitted to chron-
icle the serious accident that happened
to Byron Harris of this place. While
engaged in a friendly tussle with w,
M. Robinett, he was thrown upon his
, ankle and sustained severe injury.
DIR. J. Lee Kelly was called and an
examination showed compound frac.
ture of the joint, the processes on both
big bones being broken. The injured
man Is improving rs fast as could be
before he can hope to walk, and the
chances are that the joint will be stiff.
At last the long-looked-for apparatus
OF the gymnasium has come, and II
was soon set up by the enthusiastic
members. The association hall has
been filled with amateur athletes on
every possible occasion. The first
course consisting of fun and blisters ii
| about over and grit and muscle will
soon assert who Is to be the champion
/ Persistence and pluck are among thu
, foremost characteristics of successful
) athlete, and the first import tant lessor
to learn is that it takes time and tenn
perate use of ones energy to accom-
plish anything. Strong muscles
healthy lungs, rich pure blood, ar,
worth working for and the happy pos
SCISSOR of them can cheat Father Tim
and the doctors out of many years o
quiet enjoyment.
