The latest thing in surgery is

The latest thing in surgery is
a voice made to order. Actual
operations have demonstrated
that the larynx, or vocal box,
can be successfully removed.
and the patient may not only
survive the shock, but recover.
In order to restore speech to
the patient an artificial larynX
and vocal chords must be pro-
vided. This Ian ynx is made of
pure silver, and consists of Il
traCheal tube of larger size,
with rings at it's lower end, per.
hitting slight motion, cores
ponding to the natural flexibil-
ity of the trachea or windpipe
Through the front plate of this
tube and through an opening on
its upper curvature passes sec
ond tube, also flexible, with an
opening on its lower curved
surface. This is so placed that
stream of air may play freely
through both tubes. ever
though the external outlet be
closed, The upper end of the sec
ond pharayngeal tube-the tube
which takes the place of the
pharYhX--lodges behind and
below the base of the epiglottis

Around it the esOphagus, o

age from the pharynX to tn
larynX is by way of the meta
tube. In order that fluids an
solids may not pass throug
this a device is provided which
while cutting off the Connectio
enables the patient to breath
freely. But a substitute ha
also to be provided for the W
cal chords. This takes tn
form of a metal strip. which is S
inserted as to vibrate under til
influence of the artiCulatin
parts. The voice is incapable
of infleXion, but although it
a monotone, the patient is per
fectly able to carry on a COZ

Thus if will be seen that the
bleak hills Of Vermont and New
Hampshire show 400 per cent
greater per capita circulation
than the great agricultural
states of Kansas and Nebraska
and 700 per cent more than
Texas.
1t is not surprising that spec
ial legislation has made the
northeast a roCk-rlbbed Repub-
lican section, but what is to be
thought of agricultural Iowa,
which has 400 per cent less
than Connecticut and 700 per
cent less than Rhode Island?
The policy of the Republican
party since men like Lincoln
passed from control has been
to build mp favored class in
the manufacturing centers OF
the expense of great agricultu
raj sections. Sooner or later
this fact must become patent &c
every farming community, just
as it has long since been under
stood and appreciated by the
favored sections. Bulletin

MUCH DAMAGE DONE.
Buildings at San Jacinto Are Badly
Wrecked.

Buildings at San Jacinto Are Badly
Wrecked.
Riverside, Cal, Dec. 25.--Word re-
ceived here to-day says that San ia
cnto suffered badly from a shock of
earthquake which occurred there about
4:30 a. m. Every brick building in town
is badly damaged. The county hospital
at Bowers shared the fate Of other
buildings, but the greatest damage was
sustained by the following stores and
business houses: Diamond Bros, gro
Gerry; Zeift's store, Chinese restaurant,
postoffice. Claire's tailor shop; Shaver
G. Spence, hardware: NC i'm, drug
store; barber shop in Domongeni block,
Dr. Toland's office; Wright drug store
Ralstons store; Bankers grocery, and
Kaufman's store. In many stores the
large damage was done to stock. in
some instances, as well as damage to
buildings. No lives were lost and no
one was seriously injured, although
many people occupied the buildings de-
stroyed. The town is all excitement
and people throng the streets. Electric
wires are down and part of the power
house has fallen in. Artesian wells are
flowing abundantly. The loss is very
heavy. A report says that 10 Indians
We're killed at Saboba by the falling
walls of a building, where dance was
being held
The shock almost shook Hemet to
pieces. The damage is great but just
how much it amounts to in dollars and
cents it is impossible to say. There are
but two chimneys left in town. The
fire walls of Webber's brick store fell
out and the plate glass windows fell
and We're smashed. The entire stock
of goods is on the floor in a heap.
Chimneys of the Hotel Hemet fell,
many of them crashing through the
roof. The verandas are all down and
the walls are badly cracked. The rear
wall of the Johnson block fell outward
and the whole building was badly de-
molished. The third story of the Hem
ct mills is down and the second story
walls fell in. Prugh's grocery store
fixtures We're all shaken down and the
goods were piled on the floor. The new
Whittier block was but slightly dam
aged The front of Parker's store fell
out and the shelving was shaken down.
The shock was severe at Corona, but
no special damage is reported aside
from slight wall cracks. The shock was
also severe at Perris, and Moreno, and
in the latter place brick buildings were
damaged.

WANT TO LYNCH HIM.
Citizens of Weldon Excited over n Cold
Blooded Murder.

Clinton, ILL.,, Dec. 25-At 8 o'clock to-
day at Weldon 10 miles southeast of
here, Harry Summers, jr., of Weldon,
a carpenter, and Doc" Marcum, farm
hand in Platt county, engaged in a
quarrel in a poker room, when Marcum
shot and killed Summers. Marcum, who

years old. His victim was about 40
years of age and peaceable. He had a
family. Marcum is unmarried and has
been in Weldon but once before. He
was placed in Jail here this afternoon.
Weldon has about 900 population and is
the town in which Postmaster John A.
Pace killed Hon. w. H. Taylor Dec. 2S,
1895. To-days murder, being three
days before the fourth anniversary of
the killing of Taylor, who was at that
time a member of the legislature, the
citizens We're greatly excited and Mar
cum was hurried to Clinton, where an
attempt will be made to lynch him.
