The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1890-01-04

reported from Omaha, Nebraska,
which has been puzzling the local
medical fraternity of that city. The
report states that Miss Mamie Mark
came home from school last Thurs
day complaining Of fatigue and gen.
eral listlessness. On Friday she
took to her bed, sunk into uncon-
seriousness, and when the physician
arrived the father was about to
start out to an undertaker's Office,
thinking that the child was dead.
The doctor found that respiration
had ceased and that the child was
apparently dead. The temperature
at this time had sunk to two and a
half degrees below normal, but by
10 O'Clock yesterday morning the
temperature had returned to normal
and the body was warm. The
French test of holding two closed
fingers before the light showed that
circulation had not ceased. A small
vein in the arm was opened and
slowly oozed blood, proving further
that the blood was still in circula-
ton. The arms from the elbows
down were cold, but the lips con-
tanned blood, and the flesh recov-
cred itself when pressed in by the
finger. The action of the heart is
completely suspended.
+" UNTO THEM THAT HAVE SHALL BE
GWEN.
A New York dispatch says that
one of the most interesting reports
that Wall street has heard lately
was in reference to the Vanderbilts
and J. Pierpont Morgan, of the
banking house Of Drexel, Morgan
& Co. The announcement was to
the effect that Cornelius Wander
bilt and William K. Vanderbilt,
representing the Vanderbilt system
of railroads, have caused to be pre-
pared by Tiffany & Co. the most
extensive silver ware establishment
in New York, service of plate
costing $4,000, and was to be Nor
gan's Christmas-tide remembrance.
DECORATIONS WITH STRINGS TO THEM.
The late Samuel S. Cox, while he
was Minister to Turkey, received
from the Sultan several very beau
tiful and valuable decorations,
which have been on exhibition at
the National Museum at Washing
ton, and were intended by Mrs.
Cox to remain there permanently,
but it turns out that according to
Mahomedan custom, when person
who has been decorated dies, the
jewels must be returned to the gov
eminent, and Mrs. Cox has received
notice that those which were pre-
sented to her husband will have to
be sent back.
NEWsBOYs GET THEIR FILL.
Seven hundred newsboys and
bootblacks ate their Christmas din
ner at the Newsboys' Home in New
York. William NJ. Flesh provided
the material for the dinner, which
consisted of 600 pounds of turkey,
1870 pounds of ham, three barrels of
potatoes, three barrels of turnips,
two boxes of cranberries, with an
unlimited supply of mince pies,
bread, butter, tea and coffee. "When
the boys got through" said Super
intendent Hugo, "there was not
enough left to fill a New Jersey
tell you the newsboys
have appetites." The lads were al
lowed to enjoy themselves in their
own peculiar fashion after the cloths
were removed, and all the talent
came to the front. There were break
downs and fancy dances by great
array of talent to the music of a
harmonica. The event of the even
ing was pie-eating match between
Ed. Wigfall, a colored City Hall
boot black, and a newsboy named
Ike Jackson. The boys tackled
whole mince pies with their hands
tied behind their backs. Wigfall,
who is 4 noted pie-eater, was the
favorite in the betting. He demol-
lshed his pie in one minute and five
seconds, and was declared the win
