NEW SKIN GRATING.
Pet Puppy Sacrificed to Make a Ten
Year-Old Child Whole.

rFrom the Atchison Champion.1
Drs. Brown and Hudson performed a
peculiar operation yesterday. About
year ago Leila. the 10 year old daughter
of Marshall Penn, three miles out from
AtchisOn was severely burned by fall
ing on a stove. The serious burns were
on the arm and back. A strip about
four by six inches refused to heal under
any medical treatment. Yesterday
Messrs. Brown and Hudson went out to
the Marshall farm and performed the
operation of skin grating. The granu-
lations were removed from the wound
that is, the diseased flesh. A shepherd
pup, a month or so old was chlOrO-
formed, the hair was Clearly shaver
and removed while the pup was still
alive. The skin was cleansed in water
and then dipped in a solution of bOrasic
acid to make it chemically clean. The
skin was cut in strips One-half by two
inches, and placed over the entire burn
ed surface from which the granulatiOns
had been pruned. These strips were
held in place a short time by the warm
hands, and bound in place with band
ages.
The little girl stood the whole opera
ton without winching, and jOked with
the doctors as they proceeded. She was
advised not to begin barking too soon.
The other children took the death of
their pet puppy greatly to heart, and
gave it a Christian burial.

JUBILEE DATES.
The Hutchinson Committee Selects
May Is, 10, II and 10

Hutchinson, Nov. IA great many
queries have been coming in from the
musicians of Kansas regarding the
time of the next annual Kansas Mus
ical Jubilee. The date has not been
given out up to the present time for the
very good reason that it has only just
been decided upon by the executive
committee The dates will be Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, May
Is, Is II, and IS.
The order of the Eastern Star will
hold its annual meeting here beginning
on the Wednesday of the week preced-
ing the jubilee. For this reason it was
not practical to date the jubilee any
earlier, and for other reasons the com
mittee did not desire to put it later.
From May Is to Is will be given ex-
clUsively to the musical jubilee and the
committee expects the next jubilee to
be at least equal to any ever given.
From the present prospects there will
be more chOruses than have been here
for several years.

ANoTHRR FoRTUNE FAhE
Abilene Heirs of Dead Man We're
Disappointed.

Abilene, Nov. 17.-Some weeks ago a
Cripple Creek bank wrote here asking
about Levi Stobaugh, formerly of Abb
ilene, and saying he died leaving about
$1,000 to his credit in the banks of
that city. The story was published in
the Reflector and attracted wide atten-
ton. claimants for the money sprung
up in a dozen towns. Now the Reflec-
tor receives a letter from a Colorado
lawyer which says:
1.-THE facts are that Levi Stobaugh
died Of pneumonia on March 80, this
year. He was engaged in the saloon
business as of yore and left some little
property. AS attorneys for the admin
istratOr, our firm closed up this estate
in July and handed over to the mother,
Rachel StObaugh, of Hopkins Mo, the
residue of the estate amounting to 3d.
,023.10, so the Abilene heirs are spared
the pains and expense of putting in
their claims. The Cripple Greek bank
story is a fake and Stobaugh never
owned a mine"
The case is a somewhat peculiar one
as the bank was evidently sincere in its
inquiry.

A NEW HEAD.
Editor of North American Review
Becomes President of Harper
6 Brothers

New York, Nov. III. Henry Harper,
vice president of Harper and Brothers,
announces that at a. meeting of the direc-
tors of the publishing company, George
3. NJ. Harvey, editor and proprietor of
the North American Review, was elected
president and managing director of Har-
per and Brothers. He added that Mr..
Harvey had purchased from the share
holders a large interest in the company.
The organization as completed at the
President, G. b. NJ Harvey; first vice
president, John w Harper; SECOND vice
PRESIDENT Sarence w McIiva nero see cree
tary, James NJ Thorne Harper; treasurer
Henry s. Harper; and directors in addi-
ton to the officers above named, H. r.
Harper and James Harper.
The changes consist of the substitution
Mr.. John W. Harper. who becomes first
vice president, and the retirement of Mr..
renders it Impossible for him to attend
to business. Mr.. Harvey will enter upon
his duties on Monday.
Mr.. Harper declined to state the terms
under which Mr. Harvey becomes the
head of the Harper and Brothers. It was
learned, however, from another source.
which there is every reason to believe is
authorative that the shareholders sold a
large block of stock. which was appraised
some time ago at 1927 share to Mr.. Harvey
at $50 per. share The exact amount of
certained, but was said to be in the Vlcin-
ity of one million dollars par shares.
1t was reported some months ago that
a consolidation of Harper and Brothers
and Doubleday and Mcclure had been
practically completed 1t was found, how
ever, when the time came to put the sug-
gested consolidation into effect that the
lines of publication of two companies diff
fered so widely that the plan was imprac-
ticable and it was abandoned.
Mr.. Harvey confirmed the announce
ment of Mr. Harper. but further than to
announce that he would continue as the
editor of the North American Review. he
declined to discuss his plans for the fu-
