A Dreadful injury.

Mrs. Cunningham, az old lady, met
with a dreadful injury yesterday after
noon while visiting Mrs. Sheridan,
who lives Cd South B street near Tay-
lor street. She fell down a flight Of
stairs and sustained a compound
fracture Of the right leg at the ankle.
The bone Of the ankle was broken off
short, aud protruded through the flesh,
making u ghastly wound. The injury
was such that the foot was held to the
leg only by the flesh and skin Oh one
side, and it was a terrifying sight
After the accident DR.. Manson was
called, and he cut off the strips of
flesh and skin and splinters Of bone,
put the bone into place and 'sewed up
the wound. The patient refused to
take an anaesthetic, and the operation
vas performed while she was con
scious. She said she could beal the
pain, and although it must have been
circulating, she bore it like a stole
She was removed to the County Hos,
J pital after the operation.

Reports OF the earnings OF American
railroads for the first four months OF the
year. almost without exception. show
good Increases over the corresponding
period Of 1895 Western roads in par
ticular have made far better showings
than they did last year. and in some
respects the conditions have not been al
together favorable Up TO the present
day. for instance. the enormous corn
crop OF the western states is being held
in cribs by the owners, who expect still,
as they have all winter. n raise in
prices. Ordinarily this corn would have
moved early in the year As It is, save
for few weeks Just prior to the time
farmers had TO pay their taxes. hardly
any of II had been brought to the rail-
roads for shipment. II is the expecta-
tlon this crop will have to move very
soon. and should the move be a general
one throughout the West It will tax the
railroads to their fullest capacity
Earnings then will take a jump and will
probably exceed the estimates.
Generally speaking. railroad men cx-
pect 10 see more settled conditions and
a corresponding increase in earnings as
a result OF the Illinois Republican state
convention They concede, with other
conservative business men, that the In
structions OF Illinois delegates for Nc

in St Louis. and they believe his nominal
tion will go far TO establish better COM
meroial feeling and bring more goods to
their doors for transportation. At the
present time the outlook is more favor
able TO prosperous year than at any
time since 1898.
Among the best earners among the
granger roads Is the Chicago. Milwaukee

month OF March, sent out a few days
ago. showed an increase for the FIRST
nine months of the fiscal year, which
ends June 30. of nearly $a.0OO.OO0. At that

Did you ever watch a dog cape? For
thoroughness and entire absence OF af-
fectatlon and mock shamefacedness,
there Is nothing like II, When dog
gapcs he doesn't screw his face into all
sorts OF unnatural shapes in an endeavor
to keep his mouth shut with his jaws
wide open.
Neither does he put his paw up to his
face In an apologetic way, while gaping
In ambush. as II were. No; when he
gapes he is perfectly willing that the
whole world shall come TO the show. He
braces himself on his forfeet. stretches
out his neck, depresses his head and his
Jaws open with graceful moderation.
At first It Is but an exaggerated grin,
but when the gape Is apparently accom-
plished, the dog turns out his elbows,
opens his Jaws another IS degrees, swal-
lows an imaginary bone by sudden
and convulsive movement, curls up his
tongue like the petal Of tiger-llly, and
shuts HIS jaws together with snap.
Then he assumes a grave and content
ed visage. as is eminently becoming to
one who has performed duty success
fully and conscientiously.
