QUARTER IN THE THROAT.
DR.. Adams Sure He Can Remove 1,
From the Stephenson Child. .....


The operation proposed by DR.. B. B.
Adams TO remove silver quarter EN-
bedded In the aesopbagu or the two-year-
old Child OF F. i. Stephenson, will be per
formed during tue Present week.
The piece OF money was swallowed about
eight months ago, and according to the
theory OF DR.. Adams, as be explained it
last night, the obstruction lodged about
an inch and a half above the point where
the aesopbagus joins the stomach.
The recent experiment with the Roent-
gen ia Us on the child at the Army and Med
zeal Museum under the direction OF DR..
Gray,showed an obstructionin the aesopha-
gus, which is believed to be the piece of
money. The operation next to be per
formed il to make this silver free, which
will he accomplished by pushing 1t into the
stomach.
Dr. Adams was asked whether the trans
fer OF the foreign body to the stomach
might not also produce a serious condition.
He does not fear such a result He ex-
hibited the head OF a tin whistle which
had been swallowed by child, the diam
eter of the blower of this toy being greater
than that of the silver quarter. The child
is now in good health.
Ithas been published that the Stephenson
child has occasional wheezings after exer-
else. This is explained by the assump
ton, almost proved, that the quarter has
had formed around 1t fleshy pocket
which presses against the nearest section
OF the windpipe.
Although some very high authorities
have smiled audibly al DIR. Adams theory,
he is apparently on the eve OF performing
one of the most remarkable of expert
ments successfully. II the diagnosis is
correct, the parents OF the child need give
themselves no alarm as to the result.

Washington as the probable national.
Democratic headquarters is just now the
most interesting question before the local
Democracy. That Washington has already
been selected has been affirmed by news
papers, but denied by Chairman Jones who,
however, is Consistent in stating that this
city would be the most available of the
places mentioned for the honor.
Unless Chairman Jones shall lake the
newspaper men into his entire Confidence
and advise them of the fact, 1t Will he ten
days before they will have a personal IN
terview again. Senator Jones is now In
ST. Louis in the midst Of the Populistic
camp, probably in the house tent 1T thss
generals, and lie will not be here again for
ten days, probably with belt full nf ST.
Louis scalps.
While there is no positive ASSURANCE uiat
the great Democratic campaign Will DC
run from this end of the line yet there IS
a lot Of credulity. that il Will be so run,
and people find proof for the BELIEF in
certain negotiations in progress for the
renting of Wurnsley's for the use of IL.

an excellent place for the headquarters. 1t

he lived there until he moved TO the Butler
Building and thence 10 the White House, and
the Adonis of the Senate, Conkling, also
made Wormley's his home during sessions
of Congress. -'

ably cost C. L. Williams, the highway
man, some years In jail, as he . now
under arrest in Alexandria.
Pratt is an innocent old fellow wen
known here. He was going to jackson
City with the intention OF extending Ills
visit probably through the country places
He reached the south end or the Long
Bridge, where 1t appears, Williams was on
the lookout for scissors grinders or any
other game. Williams is represented as
one OF the stock rascals OF jackson CITY, a
loafer, and always good for such a
crime as that perpetrated on the old nun.
Williams held up the sissors grinder after
the fashion OF the highwayman and de-
manded his money. Pratti has been work
ing all his life for the contents Of his purse
and he resisted. To give up bis 81 3 was
to give up the fruit of the grind OF sixty
years III the business.
There was fight in which Pratt had
no show whatever and out OF which he
came numerically bruised and battered
with all his money and Williams gone.
Pratt had energy enough, however, to tell
his story To passersby.
1t was reported to the Constable at
jackson City, who informed Justice Lane.
The justice sent out, had Williams pursued
and arrested. aud he is now in Jail at
Alexandria, where he will await further
examination. ,t.l .--..... ... ..
1t was quick work as the robbery and
battery took place about 3 o'clock in the
afternoon. Williams was caught UP with
before night, was examined before Justice
Lane, and transferred to Alexandria tefore
8 O'Clock last night.

Mystery of a Lost Young Man Cleared
Up in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, July ia curious case of
loss of memory was made public yesterday
by the identity OF the victim being
discovered.
on March 6 la sta well dressed young man
accosted police man on the street and told
him that he was lost and had no recollection
OF who he was or where he came from.
The man was sober, perfectly rational and
aside from his loss OF memory. well balanced
mentally. The mans entire past life was
completely erased from his m ind and he had
no recollection Of anything prior to the
time he spoke to the policeman.
He was sent to the Philadelphia Hospital,
and as he was well educated and re-
membered what he had learned, he was
made clerk to the chief physician of the
institution. He was given the name Of
George Brant," and until yesterday was
known by that name.
Yesterday DR.. Robinson. of Lawrence.

hospital, hal pe ned into the chief physicians

Kans., and the last his family heard from
him was in Washington. ID. c.. on January
81 last. Mr.. Spencer was teIegraphed for

Spencer's disease is known n s amnesia or
mind blindness. Spencer had no recolIec-
tion of Robinson and could recall nothing
of his past life when it was repeated to him.

MOUNTAIN-TOP WEATHER.
What Washington Has Enjoyed and

What Washington Has Enjoyed and
May Expect.
The forecast of the weather for today
is singular in the respect that it predicts
rain for the whole area Of the United
States, with the exception of the state
of a rkansas aud the eastern half OF Texas.
SHY these regions have been favored does
not appear on Tie record through the official
statement that a trough OF low pressure
extends from Texas to Lake Superior"
This is some water pipe and, II II Coesn t
leak, may account for the phenomenon
There is however, no escape for Washing
ION and the District of Columbia. This
ity is to have threatening weather, with
possible light showers this afternoon and
southeriy TO southwesteriy Winds
Every kind OF weather except the threat
ening has occurred within the past eight
days. 1t has rained enough to fill the
Potomac; it has been cool enough to
discount mountain top summer resort,
and it has been as hot as any old place
that young people read about. Threaten
ing weather may be phrase full OF
Trojan horses of all kinds, although The
worst is supposed to be possible light
shower this afternoon.
The area of high pressure is central OFF
the Middle Atlantic coast, and second high
area appears TO be developing in Montana.
The low pressure extends FROM Texas to
Lake Superior, tn which line the storm, il
there be one, will probably converge.
The temperature has been stationary all
over the United States, with the exception
of in the lower Missouri Valley and the
South Atlantic States.
The prospect appears to be Tor

IT WAS A MILK SHAKE.
Dairy Wagon Broke and Lacteal Fluid
Was Free,

The pavement near the intersection OF
T and Seventeenth streets northwest yes
terday afternoon came very near being a
section OF the promised land Ii
flowed with milk, even II 1T did not flow
with honey.
The overabundance and unexpected ap-
pearance Of the tactical fluid was due to
the breaking of an axle of one of the
wagons OF the Pearl dairy. The vehicle
was going along at pretty rapid rate
when the wheel came off and before the
driver could stop the horse both he and
the contents OF the wagon were thrown
out Oh the street. The driver, fortu-
nately, was not hurt, and when he man
aged to extricate himself from beneath the
pile Of milk cans and parts of the wagon
he presented a comical appearance. Sat
urated with milk and covered with dust
from head to foot, his best friends would
not have recognized him.
The horse, too, had undergone a sudden
transformation in appearance, the dapple
bay OF a few minutes before being now a
miller's grey.
The only damage to the wagon was the
breaking OF the shafts.
