A SPLINTER IN HIS THROAT
Postmortem of John Rudd of Council
Bluffs Solves a Case that Puzzled
PHYSICIANS

Council Bluffs, Ia, April 20.-The physi-
clans of Iowa and Nebraska have a most
extraordinary surgical case to recount.
It developed out of a postmortem exami-
nation made today on the body of the
late Judge John Rudd, who died after
illness that completely baffled the physi-
clans of these two states. Rudd until
last winter was an exceptionally strong
and hearty man, weighing nearly 200
pounds. He ate a hearty dinner on
Thanksgiving day and that was the last
meal he was ever able to enjoy. He was
seized with q violent pain in the throat
and became unable to swallow except at
rare intervals, and then only small guam
titles of liquids. He wasted away until
he was little more than a skeleton at the
time of his death.
Different physicians made different
diagnoses of his complaint, until the gen
era1 conviction wSAS established that it
was paralysis of the throat Life was
sustained by injecting food into his stom-
ach, but during the last eight days his
throat became 50 swollen that even this
method failed.
The examination made today by fifty
physicians revealed the fact that the man
had choked to death. A pine splinter over
an inch in length was found imbedded in
a board one side of it vas painted
red, and was apparently cut from plank
in q fence or barn and used as a tooth
pick. Neither Mr. Rudd nor his friends
or physicians suspected the presence of
the foreign body. It had become deeply
imbedded in the side of the throat. The
stick was DlOtOgTaDhed.

Five Thousand Children Participate
President Mckinley Smiles
ApDrovaI.

Washington, April 2O.-The annual
Monday egg rolling in the White House
grounds took place yesterday. 1t was
an ideal day and thousands of merry
laughing children with vari-cOlored
eggs, began troOping into the grounds
before 10 O'Clock, accompanied by their
parents and nurses, and by noon there
We're fully 5000 children on the spacious
lawn in the rear of the executive man
sion, rolling eggs, rollicking up and
down the hills and playing about the
fountain. 1t was very Democratic
gathering, white and black tots playing
indiscriminately together. A stand for
the Marine band was erected in the
grounds just south of the main YER
anda.
At 8 o'clock when the Marine band
began to play there was fully $4,000
people in the grounds. Mrs. Mckinley,
with Mrs. Saxton by her side, sat at the
window. She was Joined for a few
minutes by the president, who nodded
his acknowledgement to the frantic
waving of thousands of handkerchiefs.
The band played patriotic and lively
airs until o'clock. At o'clock, the
Yale Glee club entertained the presi-
dent and Mrs Mckinley and the other
occupants of the White House with a
concert.

IN A RELIGIOUS FRENZY.
Atlanta's Revival Reaches Its Culmi-
nation in Hundreds of Inner
sions.

Atlanta, Ca, April 2O.-The religious
excitement which has possessed the
colored people of this city for the past
week reached it's elimination before
daylight Sunday morning in the whole
sale baptism of converts. Before the
first ray of the Easter sun was visible
thousands of singing, shouting and
praying men and women were gathered
in the neighborhood. The army of con-
verts, in scanty white clothing, hud-
died together to keep warm and sang
until the noise of their voices aWoke all
the residents in the vicinity.
Pastor Carter, who has been the lead
ing spirit in the mammoth revival, beat
his own record for lightning immersion
by baptizing 1875 people in ~ minutes,
feat which in itself is marvellous and
which has made him the envied holder
of what will hereafter be an undisputed
championship. Just how many INNER
sions were made altogether it is impos-
sible to tell, for long before all the con-
verts had been put under the water it
became necessary to baptize two at a
time which led to confusion The ire
mendous crowd which watched the pro-
ceeding was hysterical with the excite
ment of the moment and their shouts
could be heard for half a mile. The po-
lice department, which has been COM
PEELED to interrupt their services before,
We're once more called upon, but it could
do little toward quoting the enthusi-
aStic multitude.
