'Cr.xy GEORGE"
The matter Of the perambulations
of George Coates in the upper end of
the county came up for the consid-
GRAFTON of the board. Coates is the
bone and hide man, otherwise known
as ''Crazy George. and it was COM
planned Of that his donkey outfit had
scared farmers teams on the high

that "Crazy George" was an inoffen-
sive citizen and that, his eccentrici-
ties to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, he was making q success in a

of mercantile pursuit. The entire

.fIE-NOT REBUILD,
Gable Lumber Company Mill at
Davenport.
TO STOP LOG CUTTING THERE.

S~RA'sJ " AbsokAA 1OO A<sWle00 20 war
rant . Rsconstraction OF the Destroyed
Plant-Predscssoas - to Other Manus.e-
tarers.
The mill of the Cable Lumber com.
pany at Davenport recently destroyed
by tire will not be rebuilt. The out
look for the log supply in the future
is the determining cause for the de.
cision which has been arrived at.
The company, the Democrat says,
would have greatly preferred to have
kept on a year or two longer; in fact,
had gotten quantity of logs already
in the water for next seasons run.
These will OF course have to be sold il
the present intention Of the company
is not altered. In addition to the
logs which are already in the water
the company has enough timber
land up north to keep them going
about five years longer, even il they
did not buy any more. The fact is.
however, that at the present aud
prospective price of timber land
there is almost. if not quite as much
money in selling the land as there
would be in cutting. rafting and
saving it for the market. At least
there would be 20 little margin that
with timber lands so hard to get the
company did not care to make the
large investment which would be
necessary in rebuilding the mill.
The Lumber company regrets that
the outlook will not justify it in re-
building, as much on account of its
employees as for any other reason.
Many of them have been with the
company a great many years-two
or more for over quarter of q CEN
tury or more. Others have been
with it for periods ranging we'll up
toward twenty years, and it may be
difficult for some of them to find as
lucrative employment. or even any
at all, for sometime. Even if they
do it may take them away from
homes which have been bought in
Davenport.
Situation Elsewhere.
A gentleman who is well informed
on such subjects made the prediction
that in five years at the farthest there
would be comparatively no mills
running along the river this side of
Minneapolis and st. Paul. He pre-
dicted that the Weyerhausers, Mus
sers and few others would be the
only concerns running mills. These
people have secured large tracts of
timber, which will keep them going
for some years yet. He stated that
the southern pine was cutting quite
a figure in the market now, and that
it could be produced at great deal
less cost than the mills could pro-
duce lumber along the river. because
the mills were right in the middle of
the timber country. which cut of
the very great item of rafting. with
which the river men have to con-
tend. He did not think that the yel-
low pine would ever take the place
of the soft white pine entirely. but
he believed that il would be the seat
OF the saw mill interests of the west.

A master of statistics has made n pre-

600, while America will have reached esq.,
100000, Australia 30,00O00J, and Africa
100000 The chief increase will be in
America first, and in Europe next. In
the former Spanish America will have the
heaviest increase. There is this differ
cncc, however, that in America the in
crease will go on accelerating, while in
Europe il will go on in diminishing
ratio. The diminution OF increase i'm
population, which is already noticed in
France, will follow in Germany, Italy
and England. As for the differ
ent nations of that time, Russia
will have 3i0OO0,000 of population,
Germany 100000, aud Franco only 56,-
100000. China will have passed $50, 100000.

a CURE FOR IDlOCY.
1t Remains to BE Seen How Successful +
Will Be.

A cure for idiocy is one of the latest
achievements Of surgical science, which
has taken SO many giant strides of late
years that it may be almost termed one
of the wonders Of the century. Experts
ments were made on the skulls Of two
children, who had been idiotic from
birth, and the latest accounts are that
they are not only surviving the shock
OF the operation, but are giving prom
Use of a recovery of the mental facul-
ties. 1t would be more correct to say,
says the Washington Star, that they
are gaining those faculties, for tbs
idiot from birth has no development
until the obstruction on the brain is re-
moved. This is exactly the process in
the present trials. Holes are drilled in
the skull of the child. at the top of the
head where the "Fontanelle" or soft
spot" is usually located. In the case
now under observation, these spots had
become hardened at birth, and thus
the expansion and development of the
brain had been arrested. The opera
ton was, therefore, to make a new or
artificial fontanelle. Great care had to
he exercised, of course, to avoid in jur-
ing the brain, and there lay the main
difficulty of the operation. The scalp
is drawn anew over the apertures IN
the skull thus made, and the littlc
brain is left to cure itself The chill
dren thus operated on are two yeare
old. 1t is, of course, question just
when the patients should be subjected
to the experiment, and the age of two
years has been chosen as the starting
point. 1t has been considered prob
able that at this age the child, If it
should recover It's health and gain in
telligence, will be scarcely behind 9TH
err children of its own age dozen
years later. By that time assisted ma
ture would have caught up with itself,
as it were. There may be some ques-
ton in the minds of ultra-sensitive peo-
pie as to whether it is right for sur
geons TO experiment in this way upon
helpless children by performing opera
tions that may cause death. Yet there
will probabl be no general outcry
against such an effort. In some sense
death is preferable TO lifelong idiocy
Few parents would be likely to object
TO the experiment upon their own I'M
fortunate offspring If conducted with
the q re which should attend all such
dangerous proceedings
