Schools Closed at salina.
Special Correspondence

Salina, Dec. 7.-On account of the
smallpox scare and cases developing in
Gunnison ana Richfield, the board OF
health decided to close the schools and
all public gatherings for snort time
to see if any cases develop. Several
commercial men who passed through
the infected districts have stopped over
here and it is feared that they have
been exposed. A gypsy outfit pitched
their tents in the outskirts of town
yesterday and as soon as it became
known the marshal was ordered to
have them move on. They came from
the north and it was reported that
they had canvassed the town of Gun
nison, where there is six or seven
cases of the dreaded disease. All pre-
cautions are being taken TO keep the
disease out of town.

FROM HOPELESS IDIOCY.
A Child Will Be Saved by Removal of
Its Skull.

New York, Feb. 25-By a most unus-
ua1 operation, performed last week, at
Bellevue hospital, a girl 311 years old
has been saved from hopeless idfocy,
and probably will grow up a woman of
normal intellect. "A second operation will
be necessary in two or three weeks to
complete the work, but from the sue
cess of the first the surgeons have no
doubt that the recovery of the child will
be complete.
The patient is Marian Featherstone,
and the operation, which has been par
TALLY performed, consists in the remov-
al of piece of bone from each side Of
the skull to permit the normal develop
lnent of the brain.
The child had not developed in intel
ligence as others of her age, and her
mother submitted her to the surgeons
for examination. They found that the
sutures forming the large bones of the
skull had become prematurely ossified,
thus preventing the development of the
brain.
A child's skull, as is generally known,
is not composed of a solid mass of bone,
as an adults is, but the large bones are
connected by elastic sutures to permit
brain growth. Justification of these SUI
lures takes place when the brain has
attained its development.
DR.. Joseph D. Bryant, who was called
in consultation, decided that the little
ones intellect, could be saved by crani
otomy. The child was etherized and a
piece of bone two inches long was taken
from the left side of the skull, COM
mencing just above the temple and ex-
tending toward the back of the head By
this operation the occipital and parietal
bones, which had become firmly united,
were separated. A similar operation on
the right side of the head will be per-
formed in two or three weeks.
DR.. G. E. Pierce, who has charge of
the little patient, said today that so far
the operation had been completely sue
cessful. The child is recovering strength
rapidly, and he has no doubt that after
the second operation she will quickly
regain her faculties.

The work of the average woman,
whether she be in charge of a house
hold, where the work is always doing,
but never done, or behind a counter, or
in a schoolroonn, is of a sort that rarely
leaves her with strength or inclination
for anything else.
The strain upon most wornen's nerves,
is so great that a breakdown stares
many of them constantly in the face,
which means loss of work, doctors bills
and discouragement.
One of the earliest and one of the
most infallible indications of failing
nervous strength is the inability to sleep
soundly
No fact is more clearly established
than that sleep repairs the tired nervous
tissues and that the loss of sleep de-
ranges the health more quickly and
more seriously than any other privation
the body can suffer. The great effort,
then, of every poor sleeper should be to
strengthen the nerves. The fact that
hundreds of men and women in every
community have been cured of insom-
mia. by Paine's celery compound tells its
own story of the invigorating effect of
this wonderful remedy, not only upon
the nerves, but upon the entire nervous
system.
Physicians prescribe Paine's celery
compound where the nerves have be-
come so exhausted that not only sleep
but digestion is interferred with. Its

TO FIGHT KOHLSAAT.
Senator Mason Plans to Hold Up the
Chicago Mans Confirmation.

Washington, Feb. 25.-There is trou-
BILE over the nomination Of Judge c. c.
Kohlsaat, sent Thursday by President
Mckinley to the senate, as previously
announced.
He is a brother of Editor H. H.
Kohisaat, and at present judge of the
probate court of Chicago. The Illinois
senators had Endorsed the Tanner cam
didate. Ephraim Banning, patent at
torney. Judge Kohlsaat had no Wash
angtOn support whatever. His appoint
ment was made apparently Tor the pur-
pose of convincing Tanner that he Is not
the whole thing in Illinois politics.
1t is learned that the president had
decided to appoint Editor Kohlsaat
ambassador to Russia, to succeed Mr..
Hitchcock of st. Louis. Just at tins
time the claims OF Judge Kohlsaat were
presented, and the president thought
life office for one would be more &C
ceptable to both Kohlsaats, and at the
same time less acceptable to Tanner.
What Senator Mason said when the
nomination reached the senate can not
be printed, but the senator Dusled aim
self with other members OF the BODY,
and when adjournment came ne an
nounced with extreme confidence that
Mr.. Kohlsaat would not be confirmed
by this congress. The senator depends
upon a peculiar situation. There are
two other federal judgeshipS hung up
the nomination of Ewart, of North
-
are being antagonized by certain SEN
ators.
Mr.. Mason seemingly had no difficulty
IN joining a combination by which ne
secured the promises to put kohlsaat
on the black list with the others. The
junior senator talked volubly. He said
many things about the president which
were not complimentary. He claimed
that when he gave up his candidate and
Joined Senator CulIom and five represent
tatives in the Endorsement of Banning
he fulfilled all OF the conditions of har-
mony imposed by the president, and
that Banning ought to have been ap-
pointed.
The senator's strong card In this anti
administration game will be g. bunch
of editorial denunciatiOns OF half a
dozen United States senators in Herman
H. KohIsaat's paper, the Times-Herald-
1t is an unwritten rule of the senate
TO strike back at an editor when the
opportunity offers. Mr.. Mason will try
to persuade his associates that this is
an opportunity. He will issue an adj
dress on the subject of Mr.. Kohlsaat'S
nomination to the Republicans OF Hi
nois.
Senator CulIom carefully refrains from
any declaration of his intentions re-
garding the nomination. He visited the
White House Tuesday and entered
strong and final protest against Mr..
Kohlsaat on the ground of bad politics.
That, it is believed, was the end of his
opposition.

FOUR BOXES DID TT.
Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for months
or years from the pain and inconveni-
ence of that common disorder, piles, will
look with skepticism upon the claims OF
the makers of the new discovery for a
cure of all forms of piles, known under
the name of Pyramid Pile Cure; never
theless the extraordinary cures per-
formed by this remedy are such as to
warrant the investigation of any suf-
ferer. AS a case in point the following
letter speaks for itself.
Mr.. Henry Thomas of sub-station No.
8, Hosack Ave, Columbus, Ohio, writes
as follows:

Gentlemen:-I want you to use my
name if it will be of any use to you. I
was so bad with piles that lost work
on that account. Nothing helped me. L
read in Cincinnati of the many cures of
piles by the Pyramid Pile Cure and I
went to a drug store and asked for it.
The drug clerk told me that he had
something else that he thought was bet
ter, but 1 told him that wanted to try
the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
I tried another, and then to complete
the cure used two more boxes, making
four in all. 1 am now completely cured.

kind of protruding piles.

found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be Just

to several of my friends and am thank
full to be able to write you what good
the remedy has done me-
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no opium,
cocaine or mineral poison of any kind,
and because it is so safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied at
night. The patient is cured in a sur
prising1y short time and with no incon-
venience whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at so cents per package, and
if there is any constipation it is well to
use the Pyramid Pills at the same time
with the Pile Cure as constipation is.

pills effectually remove the costive con-
dition. Price of Pills is rs cents per
package.
