THROUGH THE x-RAY.
New Instrument ut EIdora Gives
Wonderful Results.

Wonderful Results.
Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, Nov. 2S.-In response to inyi-
tations from Dr. N C. Morse, about
dozen assembled at Emergency hospital
Friday evening to see the workings of a
fine x ray instrument recently pur-
chased in Chicago 1t is Wagner ten
plate mica wheel and one of the latest
and most powerful instruments made.
The guests We're ushered into the Of
flee with hearty cordiality and without
ceremony were conducted to the labor
.atory, which had been darkened for the
occasion, and where the instrument was
in operation. Each one took a look at
the Doctors hand and then at their own
hand, and many We're amazed at the
uncanny sight, for all that could be seen
was the bones of the hand and fingers
clearly outlined. A cuff button on the
Doctors cuff could be distinctly seen
| through the coat and shirt sleeves and
| through the arm. "A dollar placed in the
center of a book nearly two inches thick
was instantly recognized and the bones
| of the Doctors hand could be plainly
| seen through the book. Photos We're eX-
Inhibited which had been taken for the
purpose of locating needles and glass in
4 the hands of patients. One lady came to
the hospital with a hand which had
been lanced in some half dozen places in
the vain endeavor to discover a piece of
a needle. 1t was supposed to be in the
palm of the hand. The doctor placed
the hand before the X ray and immedi-
ately located it near the second joint of
the forefinger. A small child having
swallowed screw from a sewing ma
chine was brought to the hospital in an
! hysterical condition. The X ray located
| the screw in the throat, from whence ii
was quickly removed by the doctor
without an operation.
BY drinking glass OF water into
which has been placed a quantity OF
bismuth the size of the stomach can be
readily seen. The water takes the color
of black ink and can be readily seen as
| it passes down into the stomach and as
4 it trickles down and out of the stomach
A highly instructive and delightful hall
hour was spent in beholding the Won
ders of the x ray, and then most al
present accepted an invitation to look
over the hospital.

SOMEBODY NEATLY sw1NDLED.
Sharper Secures 81 800 From a Loan
Agency at Marion.

oA0I PEE SEIZURES $1,OOO from q Loan
Agency at Marion.
Cedar Rapids, Nov. 2S.-It has just
developed that an apparently horny
handed tiller of the soil worked a
smooth confidence game at Marion
three months ago, whereby some one is
out the sum of 81 800 and the sharper is
that much ahead, while his where
abouts are not known and probably
never will be. 1t was about the middle
of August that the fellow called on j.
II. Bromwell, attorney and real estate
agent at Marion, introduced himself as
Abram b. Wood. from Jasper county,
and presented a letter to Mr.. Bromwell
from a Mr.. Johnson, of Colfax, who
owns 1850 acres of fine land in Linn
township, the sale of which had been
placed in the hands of Mr.. Bromwell
The letter was to the effect that he
had partially concluded negotiations
with Mr.. Wood for the purchase of this
land, and asked Mr.. Bromwell to close
up the deal. MIR. Bromwell took him to
the farm, the price soon was agreed
| upon, and the deeds were drawn up and
turned over to Mr.. Wood. He pre-
tended to mail them to Mr.. Johnson
Aug. 26, and they were returned and
the signatures of Mr.. Johnson and his
wife apparently were all right. In the
meantime Mr.. Wood had stated that he
wanted to move onto his new property
as soon as possible. He had two daugh-
ters, one of whom desired to enter the
music conservatory of Cornell College
at Mount Vernon. But he said that he
| would be compelled to borrow some
money on the land, and thought he
| would require about $1,000. Mr.. Brom-
we'll made arrangements with a
wealthy Otter Creek farmer to loan the
money to Wood, and when the deeds
came back, apparently all right, Mr..
Bromwell lost no time in making the
| loan. The loan was made through the
cashier of the First National Bank of
Marion, who inspected the signatures
so the deed very carefully and pro-
nounced them genuine. He and Mr..
4 Bromwell wanted to advance Mr. Wood
4 So, 900 on the land, which is worth So
900 or $1,000, but he announced that he
did not want to borrow any more than
was absolutely necessary and had
come to the conclusion that 81 500
would be enough. He was finally per-
suaded to take $1,000. He departed in a
4 day or two and has not been seen since.
A few days ago Mr.. Bromwell wrote to
Mr.. johnson in regard to his commits
4 sion, and it was then learned that
j Wood was sharper and had worked
them to perfection. He is described as
man about SO years old. rough look
ing and rather poorly dressed. He was
very quiet and unassuming, and had
but little to say and never once excited

WANT The Law CHANGED.
Simpson college and Drake Univer.
s1ty Obtzct to Favoritism in Matter
of Granting state Certificates.

Des Moines, Nov. 2S.@Superintendent
S. II. Sheakley, of the West Des Moines
schools; President c. E. Shelton, of
Simpson College, Indianola; and Pro-
fessor Fill NJ. Bell, of Drake Universe
ty, appeared before the state board of
educational examiners yesterday and
advocated that the law governing the
issuance of state certificates be
changed. The committee named de-
sires that the same rules be made to
apply to the State Normal School and
the State University. At the present
time the state schools are favored in
the issuance of certificates above the
other colleges of the state.
Under the present law graduates of
the State University or the State Nor
NAL School may be granted state cer-
tificates after one years successful ex-
perience in school teaching. Graduates
of other institutions of learning must
take an extensive examination, and the
certificate holds good for only five
years, although in either case it may be
renewed at the discretion of the board.
This distinction in favor of the state
institutions is seriously objected to by
the other thirty colleges. a great many
Of which are claimed to be on an equal
footing with the state schools. In the
cs~se of the State Normal, at Cedar
Falls, 1t is claimed that the graduates
of that institution really get two years
teaching experience before being
granted the certificate. one year in
school and one year out
1t is claimed by the advocates of the
change in the law asked that there are
about ten or a dozen colleges that
should be accorded the same privilege
in the granting of certificates that the
state colleges receive. These schools
are claimed to have the same curricu-
lum and the same equipment to all
practical purposes and to fit their
graduates for teaching equally we'll
with the Iowa City and Cedar Falls in
situations. OF course, the board of ex-
aminers has not the power to change
the law, but the colleges that are ask
| ing for the change want the board to
recommend the change to the legisla-
| ture The board gave no intimation of
what 1t will do.
Presidents Seerley and MacLean are
members of the board. The board is
composed of State Superintendent
Richard c. Barrett, Homer H. Seerley
of the State Normal School, President
George T.. MacLean of the State Uni
versity, Hamlin H. Freer of Cornell
College and Miss Elizabeth Hughes.

FRINGE NAPOLEON AND THE
 MAYOR OF CORK

One of the best of the many good stories which Justin Mccarthy tells in his recently published "Reminiscences g concerns Prince Napoleon. and a visit he made to MT. McCarthy's native citv Cork, in the south of Ireland. When Prince Napoleon put into the port of Cork. so runs the story. the city was presided over by a chief magistrate who was especially proud of his knowl- edge of French. Indeed, it was said that this respectable mayor had way of expressing his less highly cultured felloW-townsmen by an anxiety to pa rade his mastery of the French of Par IS. The mayor suggested that public reception should be given to Prince Napoleon, in order to testify the sym pathy which true Irishmen ought to have with the people of France and the house of Bonaparte. The proposal was eagerly adopted, and the mayor, as was to be expected, undertook to deliver the address, The ceremony was duly arranged, and Prince Napoleon ap- peared at the right time Then his worship the mayor stepped forward and delivered a long and eloquent address.
 
 script, in what the by-standers assumed to be the native tongue of the illustri- ous visitor Prince Napoleon listened with what Hans Breitman calls "a beautifnul, solemn smile" on his face and when the address was over he de- livered his reply in the most correct and fluent English. In his opening sen tence he thanked the meeting for the generous reception given to him. and the mayor of Cork for the speech to which he had just listened. He felt sure, he said that that speech ex- pressed the most kindly and generous sentiments of welcome; but he added his deep regret that as he never had had any opportunity of studying the noble Irish language, he was not able to follow the words of the worthy chief magistrate. From that day, concludes MT. Mccarthy the citizens of Cork were no longer oppressed by the may ors assumption of superiority as master of the French language.
