A DIFFICULT OPERATION.
How Mrs. rlalIOn's Life Has Pro-
baby Been Saved.

Drs. Andrews and Smith, the latter
of st. Clair, performed a difficult
operation Monday upon Mrs. Patrick
Mallon, who was injured in st. Clair
in a runaway Sunday. The rupture
of blood vessel in the brain caused
blood clot, which left the lady in a
cOmatOSe condition. Unless the clot
could be removed, she would have
died in few days. The only chance
of saving the sufferers life was to cut
through the skull and remove the
clothed blood and close the bleeding
artery. The skull was broken but not
depressed, where the head struck the
ground, and after cutting the scalp
and pushing it aside, trepanning was
resorted to and sections of the bone
were removed, making an opening
three-quarters of an inch by an inch
and a half This was directly over
the place where the clot had formed,
and the formation of blood, nearly as
large DIS mans nSG, was removed, ana
the bleeding artery was secured. AS
soon as the pressure on the brain
ceased, Mrs. Mallon returned to cons
ciousness and was able to speak. 1t
has not been decided whether to
close the orface with artificial bone
or silver plate. 1t is thought that
the chances are largely in favor of the
patient recovering.
Trepanning has only been resorted
to by surgeons during the past dozen
years, and only one or two previous
operations of this kind are known to
have beeu performed in this section.
Surgical skill is certainly making
great progress during these latter
days.

ISLANDER ALLEGED.
Geo. Ballard Made Defendant i'm a
Suit for $4,000.

Papers have been served in a suit
by Peter o. Weston
against Geo. Ballard,a prominent far
mer of this county, to recover So, 500
for alleged SANDER. Weston is
young man about twenty-five years of
age and worked for Mr.. Ballard last
summer. Afterwards he went to
school in the same district while re-
siding in another, and Mr.. Ballard,
who is director of the district, OBJ
jected to his attending the school.
Weston charges in his complaint that
Mr.. Ballard falsely said that the
plaintiff had a certain Infectious dis
ease. Seven causes of action are al
legged in the complaint, each based on
certain utterances on the subject
which it is claimed Mr.. Ballard made,
and Mr.. Weston demands $500 dam
ages on each of the counts.
Mr.. Ballard took his children out of
the school until Weston had been ex-
amined by DR.. Andrews, and after
the examination returned his chill
dren to the school.
Mr.. Ballard will make general de-
NAL to the charges in the complaint,
in his answer. His attorney is w. e.
Young, while Lorin Cray is attorney
for Mr.. Weston.

A NOVAL PLAN.
The Membership of the Royal Ar
canum Council to be Increased.

At the meeting of Mankato council
No. 1920, Royal Arcanum, Tuesday,
it was decided to carry out sugges-
tion offered by one of the members,
whereby it is expected to largely in
crease the membership of the council
during the spring. Two captains
were appointed, and the lodge mem
bers were drawn by lot by these, so
as to form sides. Each side will en-
deavor to secure the most new mem
bers by the first meeting in June, and
some kind of prize will be given.
The division of the lodge was made
as follows:
J. G. Wise Jr., captain, Frank
Yeorg, Mr.. Welsh, o. w. Schmidt, N.
K. Clarke. A. M. Haynes, H. L.
Schmitt, D. A. Walker, Geo. w.

dali, w. L. Comstock, H. G. Gerlach,
Allan Burdick, B. F. Pay, G. L. Allie
man, Ed. Rausch, G. L. Holmes, w.
j. Merchant, w. Bates, f. Campbell.
1t was also decided to secure ad-
ditional property whereby the secret
work will be made more impressive.
This is one of the best insurance
orders in existence, and it's prosperity
is shown by the fact that last month
a class of 23l new members was in
itiated at union meeting of the
lodges in one of the twin cities, and
LA at similar meeting in the other.
Those who are thinking of taking in
surance at low rate should investi-
gate the advantages of the Royal Ar
canum, both as regards the insurance
and the social features.

CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS.
They will! Soon be Started Along
the Omaha Right of Way.

Gen. Manager Winter is getting
anxious to have the entire new right
of way of the Omaha road, through
this city, in the hands of the road as
soon as possible, as he is of the opinion
that dirt ought to be moving all along
the line in few weeks. Much of the
necessary land has not been purchased,
owing to the high prices asked by the
owners, and Mr.. Winter has asked
Attorney Cray to commence condem-
nation proceedings at once, to secure
what land has not already passed in
to the possession of the road. Mr..
Cray states that he expects to get
these proceedings under way in very
short time, and that as soon as the
commissioners are appointed the road
can enter upon the land. The pre-
liminary steps are now being taken.
Some trouble has been had with the
owner of a piece of property in Lee
Hullller, who wants more for his land
than the road will pay, and it will
probably have to be condemned. 1t
was intended to run the sidetrack over
this land for use in transporting
the bridge material, but six weeks
delay will be caused if condemnation
proceedings have to be resorted to. 1t
may be that the material can be TAX
en- in some other way, although the
iron work is very heavy and comes in
sections.
AS soon as the frost is out of the
ground, which Mr.. Winter thinks will
be in about twenty days, the road de-
sires to push the work of grading.

Minnesota Butter at the Front.

Waseca Radical:
Minnesota SCOT there" at the Ma
tional Buttermakers' convention held
last week in Iowa. Three of the four
general prizes were taken by Mime
sofa makers. Commissioner Graham
says or the matLer: The honurs won
by Minnesota at the Cedar Rapids
convention are SIMPLY unprecedented.
There were about 500 exhibitors from
all the DAIRY districts in the United
States in the competition. Iowa,
Wisconsin, Illinois, and in fact all the
best of them, were there, including
the celebrated Eigln district, but Min
nesOJa stepped in and took not only
the grand sweepstakes, but second
aud third premiums, leaving but one
minor award for all the rest III divide
between them. This victory, the
greatest ever achieved by any dairy
section, means millions of dollars TO
Minnesota dairymen 1t indicates
not only that we have the natural
conditions for making the very best
butter, but also that we have the
facilities, and that we can make the
BEST"

To the honorable board of county
commissioners:-We, the undersign-
ed committee, appointed to investi-
gate petition of David Cross, VIM.
Look and others for an iron bridge
across the Blue Earth river near Am
boy submit the following report: On
the 26th of February, committee met
as per appointment at crossing de-
signated in petition. We find that a
bridge of ITO feet will be required, at
an estimated cost Of from $4,000 to
$780, We also find that there is
necessity for bridge at that point to
accommodate large section of the
county west of the river, and in a
commercial way good road that
could be travelled the year around
would materially add to the general
trade of Amboy, therefore benefitting
the country at large. But we find
that the crossing where the petition
ers ask for county bridge is not on
county road. Therefore we recon-
mend that the petition be not
granted.

ReSolUed, That the sum of $500 be
and is hereby appropriated to aid in
the construction of a certain bridge in
the southeast quarter of section l6,
town of Judson, on public highway,
and that the county auditor is hereby
authorized to draw warrant on the
road and bridge fund in favor of the
town treasurer of said town accor-
ding to general laws of 1891, chap. II. 6
By majority of the board the
above resolution was adopted
To the honorable board of county
commissionerS:-At the last meeting
Of this board, the undersigned were
appointed a committee tovisit Red
Jacket crossing to ascertain the ad-
visibility of building a bridge over
the leSueur river at that point. We
visited the designated crossing at the
appointed time. We find it will re-
quire bridge about 200 feet long,
that three stone piers are necessary.
We find that the only location for
crossing is within a very short dis
lance from the railroad, about 60 feet
at one end; the road on south side
crosses under railroad approach be-
tween the trestle, and then follows
embankment of railroad to foot of
the hill. The hill is quite steep,
with no possible way of ever easing
the grade. Your committee would
therefore recommend that the petit
tion of Darr and others be postponed
until a more suitable crossing is dis
covered, and some distance from rail
road. RoBT. S HUGHES,

din Iron Works region last week. Mr..
Howard, who used to live In that Sec
ton, knows the woods Like book, and
never comes home empty handed.
The albino he met alone in a stretch
of burnt land where stumps of sapling
pine and poplar bushes made 1t rather
hard shooting. His first shot, fired at a
distance Of ten rods, took effect in the
neck, and the second, fired as the buck
skinned through the valley, plowed its
way down the back.
The buck, which has been hung up
in Mr.. Towards yard in Spring street.
Lewiston, this week, has attracted lots
of attention. To begin with, ii is a
large one, with good antlers. The
neck is notified brown and white. rath-
or more white than brown, and look
ing as though powder had been sifted
into the fur. The back has the usual
gray and brown markings. with here
and there spot or blotch Of white.
II have been in the woods a good deal.
but / never saw anything just like
this" says Mr.. Howard.-Lewiston
