THE CASE OF Mr.. QUAY.

Seating Him.

WASHINGTON, Dec 4.-The anti-Quay
leaders are prepared to make vigorous
fight against the seating of ex-senator

OKLAHOMA CITY. o. r., Dec. 4.-(Spe-

that amount from G. w. Limerick for al

tured both bones of Meier's nasal passage,
disfiguring him for life and disqualifying
him from earning as much money in his
profession as formerly. Both men are we'll
known here. Meier Is a musician, and
Limerick, the owner of the big ring, is a

DR.. James Creighton Of Louisville,
who was one Of the contract surgeons
on duty at the front during the Santi-
ago campaign, was in the city the other
day. and in course of conversation some
body asked him whether much fear Of
death was exhibited by mortally wound
ed men.
"Fear is hardly the word" replied
DR.. Creighton. "a good many mortal
wounds did not produce any great shock,
and in such cases it seemed impossible
for the men to realize that they were
going TO die. The idea was monstrous.
unnatural, inconccivable, and they
ragged against it, They felt that some
thing could be done to save them, and
they rebelled bitterly at the thought Of
being blotted out. 1t was simply a
strong mans instructive grip on life.
Other wounds were so benumbing that
the victims had no power to resist the
inevitable The nerve centers were
paralyzed, the springs Of energy snap
ped and the vital forces so shattered
that they accepted death as do wornout
old men.
Between those two extremes were all
manner Of gradations. There is no
standard Of behavior in the face Of i'm
minent death. 1t is entirely matter Of
vital foIe. Very few men sent mes
sages. Those who realized fully that
they must die were silent mostly, and
seemed to be thinking. am speaking,
of course, Of cases in which death en-
sued very shortly after the wound, not
