day at o'clock. and submitted to the
operation Of having taken each from his
left arm portion of skin, which was
dcftly transferred TO the right leg OF DR..
Runyan. DIR. Runyan, a prominent den
tSt here, has been Il sufferer since child
hood from an injury to his left shinbone.
Several months ago the doctor contract
ed a cold, which settled in his weakened
leg, and caused liberation and severe
suffering. An examination by local
physicians revealed the fact that a por-
tion of the tibia had become deadened,
Il condition called necrosis of the bone.
Three weeks ago DrS. SeyS, Bucking-
ham and Baldwin performed the opera
tiou of chiScling off this dead bone.
This left an exposed surface four inches
long by two inches wide. The sore has
been healing nicely, but in such cases,
while Il certain soft tissue is formed,
nature does not provide Il new skin.
This tissue is very tender, and is likely
To become easily inilamed. The sore
was too wide To be covered by the skin
growing from the sides. 1t was thought
advisable to try the grating operation.
The matter was broachcd in the Ma
sonic lodge of which DR.. Runyan is Il
member on Friday night, and the fol-
lowing men responded: Edward Har-
ford. Samuel Hartford. John Webb,
Thomas Lott. Charles SchaeiIer, O. +.

A small piece of skin the size of a
fnger-nail was cut from the arm near
the shoulder, dipped in solution of
carboic acid to destroy possible mi
crobcS and then placed on the sore leg.

LONDON, January 2G.-Dr. A. ].
Meuer. OF Denver. COL, sailed for New
York on the Trave last week with four
bottles OF DR.. Koch's lymph, enough for
sixteen thousand injections. DR.. Meuer
has been studying the Koch cure in Ber-
lin for TWO months. and has established
a Koch hospital in Denver for the treat
ment Of consumption. The manner in
which this came about is some
what peculiar. When Meuer ar
rived in Be lin he found that il
was impossible under the new
German law to obtain lymph for any
other than hospital purposes. lie did
not represent any hospital, and it looked
very much a. If his journey would be
without result so far as obtaining any
OF the precious lymph was concerned.
But the Doctor did not give it up. He
cabled to Denver TO establish hospital
at once, which was done under the au-
spices of the State Medical College, and
then he came on To London, where he
found enough citizens OF Denver TO sign
his credentials as the authorized repre-
sentative Of the new institution.

THE FARMERS STAND FIRM.
The Senatorial Deadlock In the Illinois
Legislature.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, January 26.-The
steering committees of both houses were
happy this morning.
The Democrats were cheerful because
they had succeeded in contradicting a
false report as TO pairs in time to secure
full Democratic attendance, and the Re-
pubicans were pleased because they
had demonstrated their party confidence
by holding every member of the joint
assembly on Saturday and Monday
feat in organization which has no pre-
cedence in past Senatorial contests.
There were but few visitors in the gal
fiery this morning, and the public seemed
to have temporarily lost interest in the
Senatorial contest. The first ballot Of
the day, and the twenty-third OF the
joint assembly. resulted as follows: Pal
mer, lOl; Oglesby, 100; Strectcr, 3-no

TOSSED FROM A BULLS HORNS.
Gored Almost to Death and Thrown
Against a Rarbed Wire Fence.

CRCLEvIILE, o., January 26.-The
infuriated bull that created a panic in
this city last Friday evening wound up
his escapade by goring |. [. Jones, a
wel-known farmer living four miles
west Of this city, almost TO death. After
his keeper succeeded in getting him out
Of the city he ran without stopping TO
the Jones residence, where he leaped
the fence and resumed his dangerous
antics. Jones and hired man named
Garnes tried to drive him out of the
yard, but the bull objected and charged
upon them.
Garnes escaped, but Jones was caught
and tossed by the maddened beast into
a wire fence, where he doubtless would
have been killed had not the bull turned
its attention to Garnes, whom he chased
from the lot. Jones was eXtricated from
his uncomfortable position badly cut by
the barbed wire and seriously injured
by the severe tossing he received. He
is still confined To his bed in n very dan
gerous condition. The bull continued
his mad flight to Williamsport, without
doing more damage.
