PUZZLING THE DOCTORS.
A Minnesota Man Living Who Has Lost
Nearly All His Brains.


GRAND RAPIDS Mimi, March 25.-The
cese of a man living with the top of his
lead cut off and the brain cavity almost
empty is agitating the surgeons of Grand
Rapids and vicinity. "A week ago Charles
Olsen attempted to board a moving train,
but missed his footing and fell under the
wheels. His head was crushed so that
over half the brain fell out, and when the
Injured man was picked up 1t was sup
pc sed that he was dead.
Arrar gene nts were made for the funeral,
but just before the coffin was closed the
undertaken noticed a movement of the
supposed dead mans eyelids, and had the
tody placed in bed. Surgeons declared
that Olsen was not dead, but simply in
a state of coma. By the use of electricity
the surgeons managed to rouse him to a
considerable extent.
1t was supposed that he could last but
a moment or two. as there was nothing in
the brain cavity except a few shreds Of
gray matter, but in a short time the pa
tient began to improve. He could not
speak, but seemed to comprehend all that
went on around him. His recovery was
rapid, and today he can sit up in bed and
say a few words.
Olson does not remember anything in re-
gard to himself prior to the accident,
nothing Of his past life, and at first did not
even know his own name. The surgeons
will have Olsen examined by eastern spe-
cfalists in order to find out how it is that
he Is living, when, according to all surgical
rules. he should be dead. A silver plate
now doing nicely. He complains frequent
ly that he can feel nothing and that moth
ing he eats has any taste. He has lost
nearly fifty pounds since he was hurt

Senator proctOr's Views ns to Our
Dealings With Cuba.

Dealings With Cuba.
Il do not agree" said Senator Proctor OF
Vermont today, with those of my COL
leagues In the Senate who court trouble in
Cuba In the hope that we may have an op-
portunity to annex the island The char
acter OF a part of the population of Cuba
is sach that l should not consider it de-
sirable as state of the Union, as 1t would
necessarily become If annexed 1 consider
Cuba Of vast importance to this country
commercially, but prefer that 1t should re-
main as it is or be an independent state to
its becoming part of the United States
I am for the commercial annexation, but
not for territorial annexation. We can ac-
compsh that result without a war OF con-
quest and without purchasing the island,
simply by reviving the policy Of reciprocity
We made immense striues III our commerce
with that country under the reciprocity
clause of the Mckinley law and had
trade OF vast proportions with the island
when the law was repealed. All that Is
changed now, and our Cuban trade is of
comparatively little consequence 1t is an
object lesson which the people of this coun-
try should study with care"
The Senator added that he believed the
republican party would take the first op-
portunity to revive the policy of reciproci-
ty, but said he did not know whether the
effort would be made in the next Congress,
owing to the probability of a veto of any
reciprocity measure which might be en-
acted by Congress.

The fact that the cruiser Chicago, which

ordered to the Castine, but is not inclined
to accept, on the ground that 1t is not of
sufficient dignity or Importance for an OFF,
Ger of his rank. That objection would be
removed if the office was raised to the
grade Of bureau and was put on the same
plane as the regular bureaus of the de-
partment. Another Office to which Capt.
Mahan is assigned by the gossips is that
of commandant of the training station at
Newport, now held by Commodore Bunce.
This speculative assignment is contingent
on Commodore Bunces voluntary retire
ment under the forty years service clause.

Charges of juggling accounts. doctor

the report asserts that the former direct

themselves. have left a discrepancy of
81 ,924 40.
The report states that 81, 49S shares Of

Whether or not any action to recover the
enormous amount thus said to be due will
be taken IS yet undecided.
Gen. McNulta has called conference OF

and what the decision will be is a question,
but there is little doubt that the experts

SPAIN'S NEW MINISTRY
Its Effect Will Be Direct Upon the United
States.
The Entire Diplomatic Service, With
Three Executions, to he Changed-A
New Captain General In Cuba.

The organization today of the new Span
ish ministry, formed late Saturday, is be-
irg watched with interest by officials and
diplomats here, owing to the direct and
speedy effects it will have on affairs be-
tween the United States and Spain. Off
cial advices received here state that every
member of it Is conservative. This Is dl-
rectly contrary to cable reports saying
that five of the new ministers are liberal
The effect Of this will be far more sweep
ing in the charge of officers, including for

Changes in the Diplomatic Service.
1t is known that the entire diplomatic
service of Spain, with three exceptions,
will be charged. The exceptions will be
the embassies at Berlin. ST. Petersburg and
the Vatican. These three Ambassadors

eral administration, Just as a few Of Pres

a liberal, SO that his resignation is re-
carded as a certainty, and it is thought
cutie probable by officials here that he has
already tende red it. His. retirement at this
critical time in the affairs OF the island, II
is believed, will have an important effect
on Cuban affairs. 1t is expected here that
the new captain general will share the
re dical sentiment of the new ministry,
which is said to be in favor OF crushing
the revolution In short order. His pres
ence in Cuba Is likely to be accompanied
ty heavy reinforcements of Spanish troops,
skirs and materials of war.

which will engage the ministry. Before
reaching the merits of the case. the min
istry will first have to decide whether to
ccrfrm or reject the preliminary assur-
alce given by the last ministry to Secre-
tsry Gresham that a proper explanation
would be made when the facts of the
Alliance case were ascertained. The new
ministry is rather inclined to be belligerent
in its tendencies; that is, SO far as can be
judged by the record of it's principal menu
bers.

METROPOLIS IN EASTERN
OREGON.

Nothing would contribute so much to
the prosperity of this and adjoining
counties as the building up of metrop-
oils with population of 10000 to 10000.
We already have excellent markets and
economical methods of reaching them
for products which bear shipping; but
we are now prepared to produce much
which, without local market, is OF little
profit. Everything points to The Dalles
as the place for such city. The sur
rounding country stands by US we'll, and
we appreciate their treatment. We, on
our part, must stand by the producers
about us by attracting population OF
consumers. To do this we need pay
roll. We have all the essential condi-
tions for a wooden factory. With this
there should be a frst-class clothing
factory. These industries would sug-
gest others, and the population would
come without urging.
With a climate and soil conducive to
pleasant living, there is NO reason why
we should not be city of 10000 inhab-
itants within the next ten years. But
the men who own the property and have
the means must lend a hand and pull
together; otherwise little can be gained.

PRoTECTT0NISTS CONSISTENT.

The Dalles Chronicle, projections
tic newspaper, says, "the opening of
every new market is benefit to the
producer" This is true, but who would
suppose that this would be admitted by
a believer in protection which closes
markets to producers and puts barriers
in the way of producers entering them.
The world as market means every
thing to producers and little, if any
thing, to manipulators, who prosper to
the extent that they are able to control
markets by protection and restriction.-
East Oregonian.
Every one knows that protection is a
necessarily selfish policy and in seeking
new markets for our productions we do
not imply an advocacy of opening the
markets of this country, on articles which
can be raised at home, to the competi-
ton of the world. Protection is the
patriotic policy which seeks to build up
America rather than benefit other coun-
tries at our expense.

OUR MUTTON MARKET.

Reports from the southern portion OF

$l.25 per head. Thousands of mutton
sheep have been sold here this spring
and summer at from $l.65 to 50 per
head. The reason for the difference is
obvious. The Dalles is a competing
point for all the transcontinental roads.
We market our sheep in Portland, on
the Sound, British Columbia, in Kansas
City. Chicago and other eastern centers.
Southern Oregon sheep 60 south almost
exclusively and compete with California
sheep in limited market. i

There is probably no city in the North J
west go favorably situated as respects
both the producer and the markets, as
The Dalles, and for this we are indebted
to the men who organized and have
maintained water transportation line.
There is no reason why this city
should not become the largest trading
point in the state outside of Portland.
All we need is concerted action on the
part of our business men upon ques-
tlens of commercial Importance. The
most prominent of these is the trans
portation question.
