TO BUY A COUNTY.

The religious society known
as Dunkers is endeavoring to
purchase the entire region com
prised within Brown county,
Ind, to which its members will
emigrate to establish a govern
ment OF their own according to
their peculiar notions.
c. E. Everett of Albion is
the protector of the scheme.
He has already purchased Al,
900 acres of land in that coun
ty, to which 100 families will
remove in a few days.
The projectors say that
neither jail nor courthouse will
be needed and that the cleo
ton of local officers will be
held only to comply with the
law, as all property will be
held in common.
Negotiations are also report
ed to be in progress for the

of land in northern Wisconsin,

Rainy Day Clubs Dress Re-
form-Attention to Be
Given Mans Attire
Later.

New York, Feb. 6.-It was
not raining this morning when
the Rainy Day Club met, but
the streets were sufficiently
sloppy to make the charms of
the members dress apparent
to the most causuaI observer.
Miss F. Marguerite Lindley
rendered the club a reception
at the Murray Hill Hotel, and
many women prominent in re-
forms of various kinds were
present. An exhibition of ar
tistically made short skirts for
inclement weather was given
in parlor G. Dozens of differ
ent feminine ideas embodied
IN materials, ranging from silk
to broadcloth, were displayed,
together with boots, belts and
other articles OF attire. Five
ladies made speeches. All ad
Vocated short skirts.
Miss Lindley, in introducing
the speakers said that when
the question OF artistic, com
Portable dress for women had
been settled she would begin
on the men.
Isn't this a perfect day to
show our ideas?" she said to a
reporter. 81 pity men, but l
like them. They ought to have
their dress reformed. Look
at your collar! Decidedly I'm
comfortable and certainly mar
tistic. But the woman question
must be settled first. Then
man shall be considered, |
promise you.
AT the reception today,
which was preceded by a bust
ness meeting, there were
scores of ladies from other
cities. Most OF them wore alb
breviated dresses and conform
ed to the clubs rules, which
are that members dresses shall
be from 4 to 8 inches from the
ground. Some went the rules
an inch or two better.
"We know we are right,
said a distinguished guest,
land it's only matter of time
when all ladies' will wear short
skirts"

A FAMOUS OLD BUGLE

A rare old curiosity is tenn
porarily in the possession of
the Kentucky Historical Socie
ty at Frankfort. 1t is a bugle
made of two slabs of cedar
about three-sixteenths of an
inch in thickness and bent into
a funnel-shaped horn. The
bell, or mouth, is 1871 inches
In circumference. 1t is hoped
with cow horn ring and iron
bands. The bugle is the pro
perty of Mrs. Anna Mayhall,
granddaughter ofthe late Cap
tain Robert Collins. who was a
soldier in the war of ISI2-I5.
It was used in the campaign
ing OF Colonel Richard NJ.
Johnson and was at the death
OF Tecumseh. Captain Col
Inns was a bugler for the regi
ment and this instrument he
used during the war and it or
dered the famous charge of
Colonel Johnson. Captain
Collins was a mechanical gen
Jus, and with his own hands
made the instrument. Every
morning at sunrise, he walked
the neighbors for miles around
with his reveille call from the
bugle until his death in 1864.

New York. Dec. 26-This weeks issue
of the Medical Record has an account of
the first successful removal Of a human
stomach The feat Is the most brilliant
and daring attempted in recent surgical
history, but the attendant discovery,
that the stomach Is not vital organ. Is
even more important. Hitherto it has
been considered impossible for person
to h9e without a stomach
The operation Was performed In
Zurich, Switzerland by Dr. Carl Schlat-
ter on Sept. last The subject was
Anna Lands. sc years old. who had com
planned of stomach trouble. DR.. Echlat-
ter found that she was suffering from an
exceptionally large oval tumor In her
stomach. 1aperotomy was performed
and DR. Schlatter found that the woman's
entire stou -Ich presented a hard mass.
Seeing that the organ was ueeleSs he
freed 1t from its delicate attachments
cutting, twisting and cIampng among
the most vital organs with the utmost
GOODNESS. When he had excised the en-
tire stomach, he firmly united a small
coil of intestine TO the esophag gus, thus
making direct connection between the
alimentary canal and the bowels. The
work of Joining the intestine and the
esephagus was most delicate. They
were bound together with suturee. The
organs were allowed to drop back into
their positions. the abdominal weuad
was sewed up, and all there was to show
that Anna Lands had lost her stomach
was slign. retraetIon toward the dia-
phragm. The operation lasted two and

Alarming Situation.

All observing people must admit that
intoxicating liquors of various kinds are
dealt out more freely in our town at this
time than has been the case for many
years. Men and boys in large numbers
are seen going in and out of saloons al
most any time, day or evening, and
drunken men are frequently seen upon
our streets. Sometimes several intoxi-
Gated men break the horizon of vision at
once and evidences of violation of the
pr0hibitorY law are visible to the naked
eye on either hand, yet our municipal
officers do absolutely nothing, our sheriff
contents himself With making trip to
New Hampshire just before the grand
Jury meets To secure list of men who
have L. s. license, our citizens do
nothing but make desultory converse
ton, and the work of death goes on.
The grand Jury indicted one dealer in
town, six in the entire county, this term
OF eourt-not one tenth of the indictable
cases in the county. Sheriff Vies has
made one search and seizure during his
present term Of office, but says he will
serve any warrants that may be placed
in his hands. II any citizen has sworn
out d warrant during this time we are
not aware Of it. There is no doubt
about the fact of continuous, defiant
violation of law and there is no doubt in
the minds of fair minded, intelligent
men that the traffic is damage to legiti-
mate business causing a dead loss of
thousands of dollars monthly, in our
town, and greater loss in time
and strength, blighting curse to the
community, detauching old and young,
causing misery u numerous homes and
sorrow in many hearts, aud that it ought
to be suppressed
The man who does anything to help
extend the use ofintoxicants by selling
them or using then as Beverage, or by
encouraging their sale or use, is in effect
an enemy to our town and people.
The citizen who will do nothing to
counteract the effect of this seourge is
remiss in one of tls essential duties of
life, and the official who refuses or neg
lects to use the legal power placed in
his hands is doubly ,ulpable.
