A Strange Case.

Death results from many troubles, but
seldom is it brought about by such a cause
as that which ended the life of J. L.
Mitchell Tuesday afternoon at the
hospital. To sum it up in medical Ian
guage, he died from the effectof peritonitis
caused by an orange seed becoming lodged
in the vermiform a%ppendage. Mr.. Mitchell
had been suffering with lagrippe, and on
the 21st of February had eaten some grapes
and an orange. He grew worse after
wards and was taken to the hospital last
week, and died yesterday afternoon after
having suffered terrible agony. A post
mortem examination wa held and DR..
Kendrick found that death resulted from
the cause as Indicated above. An orange
seed had become lodged in the vermiform
appendage, and had infamed it so that it
dropped off and allowed the matter
in the intestine to escape, which was
the immediate cause of his death.
The deceased was a native OF Illinois,
and has W children living in Mason City,
that state. He came to North Dakota last
August, and has resided since that time
with B. F. Scovil of Mckenzie. Funeral
arrangements have not yet been made, but
he. will be inferred here.
To further Illustrate the cause of his
death, the following parallel case will be
interesting:
captain Rose, of the Tenth Hussars, OF
which the Prince of Wales is colonel, had
an attack about two years ago of appen.
dicitis, or inflammation of the vermiform
appendix. The appendix is little pouch
at the upper end of the large intestine. 1t
is about six inches long and about the size
of a lead pencil. 1t has no known func.
tion, though Darwin contends that it
proves that man is evolved from a lower
brute. The Inflammation in this case was
probably due to the presence of a grape pit
or some other foreign substance in the ap'
pendix. Captain Rose could not find q
surgeon in Europe bold enough to operate
end his life at any time.
Learning from the English surgeons OF
Dr.. William T. Bulbs great skill in such
st. Luke's hospital, Of which DR.. Bull il
the consulting surgeon. Captain Rose is
very large and stout man, and this cir,
cumstance made the operation all the more
difficult. DR.. Bull hesitated for this rea.
son, but at last consented to make the op.
GRAFTON last November. The first ~incisior
showed such unusual difficulties that DR..
Bull was on the point of closing up the
wound and abandoning the attempt as
hopeless. The abdominal wall was found
to be four inches thick, and to add to this
difficulty the veriform appendix was found
to be abnormally bent up behind the large
intestine. After a moment of hesitation
the daring surgeon went on. The opera,
tion lasted ~ hours and was a complete
success: Captain Rose is now entirely re-
covered.

Railroad Arrangements for the Nationa
Encampment G.. A. e..

Railroad Arrangements for the National
Encampment G.. A. Il.
For the national encampment, &. A. R., at
Washington in September next, the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad offers an unexcelled
service OF through limited vestibuled ex-
press trains, with Pullman sleeping car
from Chicago, st. Louis, Cincinnati,
Columbus, Wheeling, Pittsburgh, and all
principal intermediate stations to WASH
ington. The encampment will be the
greatest event in Washington since the
grand review of 1856.
No railroad IN America is better equip
ped than the B.. & o. to transport large
volumes of passenger traffic with dispatch,
safety and comfort. Its long experience
in transporting crowds to Inauguration
ceremonies, knights Templar conclaves,
and similar gatherings on an extensive
scale, will prove most valuable in carrying
the thousands to the encampment.
The B. & O. is the shortest route to
Washington from nearly all points east
and west. Passengers from Chicago will
have the option Of travelling via Plttsburg
or via Grafton, both routes crossing the
crest of the Alleghenies amid the most
picturesque scenery in America. All B.
& o. east-bound trains pass Harper's Ferry
and traverse the historic valley of the Po-
tomac, whose battle grounds are familiar
to every veteran.
Visitors to Washington will be pleased
to learn that the B. & o. will sell oxcur-
sion tickets at greatly reduced rates from
Washington to Maryland and Virginia
battle fields during the encampment.

Casselton Republican: Hon. j. C.
Gill arrived from his eastern trip We'd
nesday morning, and reports having had
a splendid visit. He speaks in glowing
terms of the kind and courteous treat
ment received from Senators Hansbrough
and Casey and Congressman johnson.
He says North Dakota's two senators
stand high in the estimation of all the
prominent people in Washington from
all parts of the country, and are a power
in the senate. He thinks North
Dakota is as we'll represented as
any state in the union, and a
great deal better than a majority of
them. If certain pestiferous politicians
in North Dakota who have personal
grievances were muzzled there would be
perfect harmony in the North Dakota
delegation, and the state would be the
gamer thereby. The trouble is not with
the senators and representative, but
with soreheads in this state, who take ad-
vantage of every opportunity to manu-
facture and spread broadcast stories
that are erroneous, in order to belittle
the delegation in the eyes of the people
of North Dakota. Mr.. Gill wants it dis
tinctly understood that he is for peace,
and deplores exceedingly the ugly atti-
tude of a few North Dakotans toward
the states able, energetic and popular
senator's.

for office, but you failed to report the
result Of said conference.
Mr.. Mouton should represent the
people of VermilioD parish, not just
those who were instrumental in elect.
ing him, and we are all interested in
his future course, and believe we
have a right to know s0hat course
be has laid out to follow.
W. believe that you should report
such an important item of news for
the benefit of those who were not
present at the meeting mentioned.

specifically definite course, and that
the conference was held to ascertain
the wishes of his constituents. He
promised them to act in all things
as he deemed best for the whole
