CAUGHT IN A THRESHER.
Horrible Accident on Farm Near
Olathe, kan-Ground to Pulp.


Olathe, kan-Ground to Pulp.
Special to the Gazette.
OLATHE, KAN, Oct. 2.-One of the most
horrible accidents that has occurred in this
vicinity for many years happened on the
farm of William Withers, about three miles
north, last Wednesday. Withers had a lot
of men at his place threshing his wheat,
and had employed Morris Runnells to do
the threshing. Runnells owned the ma
chine and was at work feeding the thresher.
Runnells has been looked upon as most
reckless man in his manner OF handling his
machine, and his death or severe injury has
often been predicted by those who were
acquainted with his careless manner Of
doing his work. These predictions have
been verified in a terrible manner, and Run
nells is now cripple for life.
The threshing had been progressing well
and the work was almost done when the
machine became clogged on account of the
rapid feeding and was being badly racked
by the power which met with such strong
resistance. Runnells tried to pull the wheat
from the feeder, but finding this impossible
he deliberately stood upon the feed board
and stuck his foot down int" the wheat and
tried to shove it in so thi .le Clog would
be overcome. He sucoee ded Only too well,
for the feed caught the wheat opd his foot
as well and began drawing him In. He
shouted and screamed with agony an then
grasped tho edge of the machine ant with
az. almost superhuman effort stopped the
machine to stanostiu %he engine was

MAKING A NEW SCALP.
A Pennsylvania Doctor to Try Grating
Operation Which will be AnI-
iously Watched.

Kate Degler of Mannheim Pa, who had
her scalp torn completely off about year
ago by having her hair caught in the ma
chinery of mill, has been removed from
St. Joseph's hospital and is now an inmate
of the Pennsylvania hospital For the past
six months efforts have been made to graft
u new scalp in place of the one provided by
nature, but so far the operation has not been
attended by any great degree of success.
DR.. John II. Packard, who has had charge
of the case, said yesterday that the patient
had been moved because the surroundings
Ut the Pennsylvania hospital were more
favorable TO the case. He will be assisted
By DR.. Gillian and othe, members of the
hospital staff.
The operation is one of the most curious
in the annals of surgery, and its progress
has been watched by the members of the
profession with the keeneSt interest. The
scalp has been severed from the head as by
a razor, and tie only covering to the skull
is the tissue upon which the new skin is
being grated. Formerly the new skin
was grated in the minutest particles, each
graft being scarcely larger than the head
of pin. conforming to the theory that the
smalle the graft the more readily would it
take root. This theory, however, has not
worked satisfactorily, and at the Pennsyl-
wanna hospital larger pieces will be tried.
At the latter institution less difficulty will
be experienced in procuring skin for the
operation.
Another feature of the case which will be
attempted is the grating of pair of eye
brows. At present Miss Degler has great
difficulty in closing her eyes, owing to the
contraction of the skin at the edge of the
would over her eyes. She has preserved
the fine head Of hair of which she was so
proud before the accident deprived her of
it, and in case the grating process proves
successful, will have d wig made, and vet
be able to say truthfully that she wears her
own hair.
DR.. Packard is quite sanguine Of success,
and says if the case turns out to his salts
faction Miss Degler will be exhibited before
several scientific societies.

passed hand and feather along his back
and he was healed at once. A woman
named GerouX was palsied and had not

cured Nine. Pellerin of De Salaberry

several others of acute rheumatism, and
then the rush became so great that the
child was taken to Quebec and installed at

The clergy and physicians decline 10 of

however, given instant relief to scores of
people suffering from neuralgia, rheuma-
tism, palsy and other ailments. and at
times the crush is so great at her door that
the police have to regulate the crowd.
These things are set down here just as
given by the people cured, who are willing
to swear to the facts, and the child has
been sent for by parties in Chicago who
want to be made whole. 1t is probable,
however, that her power will not work in
that city, and it is painful to add that she
is no longer vivacious, but strangely silent
and reserved.

The Clunie Opera-house was crowded
last night. Ostensibly there was q play,
Honest Hearts and Willing Hands, by
Duncan b. Harrison, who, when he tries
fright hard, can constructa a clever melo-
drama, or even comedy. But he did
not try in the manufacture of Honest
Hearts and Willing Hands," And
we do not blame him; for he was
writing around John L. Sullivan. 1t
might be compared to the description of
cannon making, which the rustic said
consisted of taking long hole and pour
ing molten metal around it. All the
metal of Harrison's effort was absorbed
by the hole. Into that all things ran; the

THE SILVER QUESTION.
EX-President Cleveland Attempts
Guide a Compromise.

EX-President Cleveland Attempts to
Guide a Compromise.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Information
comes in private mail from New York
that Cleveland will attempt to guide a
compromise on the silver question when
Congress convenes. Cleveland is trying
on the question of his nomination. He
fears the solid South and the unyielding
West on the financial question.
His idea is somewhat like that proposed
recently by his ex-Secretary OF the Treas
ury Fairchild. 1t is the free purchase,
but not the free coinage of silver. He
wants a scheme which will buy bullion
so long as it remains popular, but to stop
when sentiment calls halt. He would
coin when there is demand, and it is
at par, but shut down altogether when
there is evidence of a corner or move
ment from any foreign nations indicating
disposition to impoyerish our supply of
gold.
This would make silver a nonentity as
a political factor. 1t would give Cleye-
land and his party a chance to straddle
this character contemplate the placing of
the coinage question wholly within the
discretion of the Secretary of the Treas
ury and they are therefore out of the
question, so far as Congress is concerned.
Several attempts have been made during
the past few years to enlarge the pur-
chase of silver bullion, and all have been
turned down without consideration.
They, in any degree, gave the the Secre-
tary larger discretionary powers.
The silver men especially deplore this
thing of making uncertain its quantity
purchased or the breadth of coinage.
That is the one thing they demand that
it shall be final and definite

Porterhouse Steak.

The word "porterhouse," as applied
to particular cut of beef, is one Of the
best illustrations ever known of the acci-
dental application of a name to a thing.
During the War of 1924 there was a
famous porter-house near the Battery in
New York, kept by man named Morri-
son. 1t was a resort much frequented by
pilots and boatmen, who found it con-
venient place to secure a hot lunch when
they came in, wet and cold, from their
duties in the harbor. One day custom
ers had been numerous, and when finally
a couple of pilots arrived in the evening
the steaks were all gone. Not willing to
send his guests away Morrison took the
large sirlOin roast he had provided for
the next day, and cut off q couple of
steaks from the small end. They were
eaten with gusto, and the two customers
enjoyed them so much that they asked
from what part they had been cut. Morri-
from which they had been taken. They
whenever they should call in; the good
qualities of the cuts soon commended
them to other patrons, and calls for the
steaks became common. To meet the
demand, Morrison directed his butcher
to cut up the sirloins into steaks, and at
the market 'steaks for the porterhouse'
became a familiar expression. Other
eating houses soon adopted the new cut,
and "steaks the same as Morrlson's
porterhouse steaks" speedily became
well known in the city, but the unique
designation was never changed, and the
peculiar steak was therefore so called be-
cause first eaten in house where porter
was a pecialty.-Globe-D Democrat.

THE RAIsIN INDUSTRY.
Movement on Foot for the Proper Grad
ing of the Fruit.

ing of the Fruit.
SAN FRANCISCO, June ia meeting
of prominent raisin dealers and several
leading producers was held here to-day.
Included in the number were A. p. But
Ter, o. III. Forsythe and Fulton @. Beny,
the largest raisin producers of Fresno
County, and representatives of nearly
every dried fruit firm in this city.
The meeting was called for the purpose
OF devising means to overcome some of
the difficulties experienced in the raisin
trade last season. One of the chief of
these was the fact that during a spell of
dullness in the Eastern market there
were considerable reflections made by
Eastern buyers, on the alleged ground
that the fruit was not up to the sample.
There was apparently well-grounded
suspicion that had the market continued
active throughout the season there would
have been few, If any, rejections.
1t was the opinion of those present that
the only feasible means of coping with
this difficulty was to organize and estab-
nsh a system of grading. Inspectors ap
pointed by the organization should be
maintained in the raisin-growing sec
tions, who should carefully examine all
ralslns offered and brand them in accord
ance with the rules adopted. When raj
sins so marked were sold, it would be a
guarantee that their quality correSponded
with the brand, and no reflections would
be tolerated of such goods. The grading
should properly commence in vineyards
when the fruit is first gathered, and
should be followed up in the packing
house. With such system in vogue,
the honest packer would be protected
against the dishonest one, and the buyer
would likewise be sure that his purchases
made by sample were up to the quality
agreed upon.
