DUG UP THE WRONG BODY.
Mistake Made in Looking for One of
the Wre * Victims.

D. W. Miles Of South Enid. Ok, came
to Topeka yesterday to claim the body
of his brother, one of the four men kill
ed in the Rock Island wreck last week.
He and Undertakes DeMoss and Pen
we'll went out to Rochester cemetery
and exhumed the body of Miles. The
sexton made mistake in locating the
grave, and the wrong badly was ex-
humed first. 1t was that of Garfield,
one of the victims. The body Of Miles
was taken out and wrapped in a cloth
saturated with an enbalrning fluid, and
again placed in the coffin. The coffin
was put in what is called a zinc
rough box" It is an enveloping box
lined with zinc, and the lid was solder
ed on to it, thus making it absolutely
air-tight.
Mr. NJ A. Low of the Rock Island,
furnished passes to Mr.. Miles and the
latter took the body of his brother to
South Enid where he will be buried.
Mr.. Miles bears a very close resemb-
lance to his brother. He is a mechanic,
and says that his brother was q hard
working man but that he had been out
of a job for sometime.

MAYOR TAKES ACTION.
Closes Candy Stores in Interest Of
Sunday School Collections.

East Liverpool, O., Aug. 24.-Mayor
P. H. Jones of Wellsville, four miles
west of here, Is also pastor OF the Dis
cipIe church there. In the latter ca
pacity he has lately noticed a decrease
in the Sunday school collections.
He made an investigation as to the
cause and found that the money given
the pupils for the collections found its
way to the coffers of the confectionery
stores. Consequently he has issued, in
his capacity as mayor, an order closing
the candy shops on Sunday and pro-
hibiting all places Of business selling
the CONNECTIONS from disp0sing Of any
of this stock on the first day.
He claims he watched one candy
store on a recent Sunday and saw
eighteen children, who had been given
money by their parents for the Sunday
school collection. spend the coin for the
sweets the shopkeeper had on sale

featured an ice bag. which she fitted ON
the PATIENTS head like q turban. A big
chunk Of ice was placed at his feet, and
the attendants packed more ice about
him. Then they took pieces of ice and
rubbed him briskly as if they were using
soft sponges. This treatment evidently
had prompt effect, for soon the man
opened his eyes, and, although his face
still ghone a deep purple, he became con-
scious enough to hold with his hands
large piece of ice which the doctor
placed on his stomach.
In less than an hour the face of the
man on the stretcher had lost its purpIish
color, his eyes were bright, his breath
ing and heart action was regular, and
his temperature had become normal.
Then he was taken up on the roof, where
he was swung in a hammock for hours
under a canopy in the open air and re-
covered his strength during a long, re-
freshing nap Two days Later he left the
hospital as well as ever.
But you had a close call, old man,
and you II have to be careful, an at
tendant said as he departed
This was one case out of hundreds in
q big city. Not all Of the patients re-
quire such vigorous or heroic treatment,
but ice and ice water are plentifully
used, even in simple cases of heat pros
tEation.
1t is not always the direct rays Of the
SUD that strike down victims. Men fall
by scores in places where the sun never
shines. In sugar refneries, breweries,
smelters and other places of industry
where great heat is generated the VIC
TINS are numerous during a hot wave.
1t is generally the city man who is
stricken The farmer works all day in
the fields and escapes But he drinks
little or no alcoholic liquors, he eats
plenty Of vegetables and little meat, he
wears a wide briumed straw hat, and
the breeze which Iulls him to sleep at
night is cooled by sweeping over green
fields and trees and is untainted by con-
tact with the ovenlike cobbIestoues and
brick walls.
But even the city man whose general
health is good, who shuns hot and re-
beIlious liquors, who keeps his skin
clean, who wears sensible clothing, who
is careful and temperate in his eating
as well as his drinking, can work stead

his seat, lights fresh cigarette and the
swift drive to the hospital is soon over
Two attendants grab the stretcher
handles and carry the patient into the
main hall, where the house surgeon
meets them. He takes one 1oclI at the
victim 8 red face, grips the limp wrist
between his thumb and forefnger for a
moment and then mutters briefly:
''Too late. Take him to the ice bath. -
The arm of the unconscious man
drops with thump on the stretcher bars
and swings hack and forth as the at
tendants trot through the long cool cor
ridors with their burden to the elevator.
In this brief examination the house
surgeon had decided that the patient
was the victim of what is commonly
known as sunstroke. But you don't sup
pose ne gave it that name. do you? Not
he. Here was the rscord he made on the
entry book:
''No. I46. Received from ambulance
No. 9, Dr.. Freshly, at 2 :1s p. m dag
nosis, pronounced insulation. 3"
There were a few more details which
were filed in later. But it was set down
as a case Of insulation. That is the
medical term for sunatroze The pur-
plish color of the face and the uncon-
seriousness of che patient indicated that
it was a serious case, so the ice bath
was ordered.
A few years ago the treatment which
is now employed in some of the big city
hospitals would have been denounced
by doctors of all schools as barbaric and
criminal cruelty. But we are in pro-
gressive age and fewer people die from
heat nowadays than formerly, although
just as many, if not more, are stricken.
It was 2 :13 when the patient entered

in a soft meshed hammock suspended
from a travelling crane. Two seconds
later. he had been swung directly over a
big porcelain bathtub half filed with
ice and water. Down into that chilly
bath he went with a splash in the
twinkling of an eye.
ellis temperature is 10 and there is
no time to lose, - the attending physi-
clan had said.
For 20 minutes the unconscious man
was soused up and down in the icy
water with the chunks of ice humping
and bobbing about him. Sometimes this
heroic treatment is found to be too Sc
we're and then the patient is hastily
yanked out and stimulants are forced
down his throat to revive the action of
the heart, which has been weakened by
the shock instead of stimulated. But
in this case it was all right. The heart
began to pump the blood through the
arteries and veins in a somewhat more
regular fashion and the physician said
that the tempera ture was slowly falling
from the dangerous point which it had
reached.
Finally the surgeon ordered the pa
tent to be taken out The crane carried
him into an adjoining operating room,
where the man was deposited in a
stretcher. Here was a big tub of cracked
ice. A white capped nurse came in with

CANTON'S SILVER CLUB.

publican, However.

Ex-United States Marshal DickW ak
er has received the following letter
from Sheriff Doh of Canton, o., to
whom he addressed an inquiry con-
corning the organization of the Bryan
club at that place.
Canton, O., Aug. 21.-Captain Dick
Walker, Topeka, Kansas: Dear Sir
The Silver club Of Canton, about which
you write, is composed of Popunsts and
Democrats, and the leading Democrats
of the city are not in It. The ex-Pe-
publican mentioned as president Col.

to Gov. McKin1ey's house. He was an
sspirant for chief marshal Of the es-
cOrt club, but failed Of election. I'm
Tnediately afterwards he turned over
to the opposition.
The club at its organization was
only claimed to have membership of
200 to ESQ upon the statements of its
officials to the reporters Of the press
associations. When It is remembered
that Stark county has a population of
nearly 100000 and this city nearly 40
600, the magnitude Of the club does not
appear very great. Comparatively
speaking a sound money non partisan

largely Of Democrats, as well as Re
publicans, signed 300 members the
night of organization The same night

The third of the series of united Len
ten services at Trinity church last night
was, considering the inclement night
fairly well attended. Owing to a slight
indisposition the Rev. DR.. Douglas, the
rector, was unable to be present The
officiating clergymen were the Rev. w.
NJ. Grosvenor, rector of the Church of
the Incarnation, New York; Rev. c. d.
Morgan of Christ church, Rev. William
Beardsley of St. Thomas church, Rev
H. Macbeth and Rev. Charles O. Sco-
vile of Trinity.
Rev. Mr.. Macbeth on behalf of the
other clergymen intimated that the of
ferings taken up at the six united SER
vices would go to the support of All
Saints mission on Howard avenue and
that some $500 was required, averaging
$50 a service. So far, he said, the col
lections had not come up to this sum
the reason of which he stated was, nc
doubt, due to the stormy weather which
had prevailed on each occasion. He
concluded by making a special appeal
to their liberality during the conclud-
ing services.
