Bev. s. f. Sharpless received word to.
day that his daughter, Mrs Jack
Koenigstein, VIII, submitted to an opera.
tion on Tuesday at the Mary Thompson
hospital in Chicago, performed by the
eminent surgeon DIR. Byron Robinson,
withstood the operation successfully and
is getting along very nicely If she
continues to improve as she has done so
far, her husband. who is with her, will
be home some time next week.
Rev. Herbert f. Ryder, the minister
who is to take the pastorate of the Nor.
folk Baptist church, arrived in the city
last evening from New York, accom-
panied by his brother, Harry. Regular
services will therefore be held in the
Baptist church, Sunday at 10 40 a. m.
and 30 in the evening, and each Sun.
day thereafter. Mr. Ryder bears very
gentlemanly appearance and the work
of the church in Norfolk will no doubt
be benefited by his labors.
Wayne Republican A Madison
county farmer named Ohlson loaded
hogs into his wagon on side hill dur
ing the recent slippery time. The
wagon, hogs, horses and man got to slid.
ing towards the foot of the hill and
never stopped until fence was reached,
and then the wagon, man and hogs all
upset in heap and when an invoice of
injuries was taken the man was the
only one knocked out and he found him.
self pretty badly used up.
A leading physician recommends that
considerable distress might be averted
if people generally and children in par.
ticular would submit to vaccination as a
preventative of small pox. The disease is
quite prevalent in many sections Of the
state and, while Norfolk has been fortu
nate in escaping, thus far, it is perhaps
only a question of time when it will make
its appearance here. On the theory
that IAN ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure" the doctors advice is
we'll timed.
The Wayne Republican has it that
there are so per cent less cattle in Madi.
son county feed lots this year than last
1t is not known where the. Republican
got its information or misinformation.
The feed lots around Norfolk do not
show that decrease. While it is gener-
ally believed that cattle are scarce this
year in all parts of the country it is
likely that Madison county will take
care of its full share. A recent invoice"
of 400 head from Idaho indicates that it
will. With it's sheep industry and pros.
porous cereal mills this county does
not have as much surplus feed as other
counties and it is probable that it ships
out less than any county in the state
where similar conditions prevail.
The osteopaths at Fremont have de.
cided to continue the practice of their
profession in spite of the recent decision
of the supreme court. 1t is claimed by
members of this school that their course
is just as thorough, with the exception
Of materia medica, as that of any other
school. They further claim that they
do not pretend to practice medicine but
effect their cures in other ways. They
also claim to use in their practice more
constantly what they learn through
physiology and anatomy than does a
regular old school physician unless he
also practices surgery. The osteopaths
are confident of fair treatment by the
law finally. 1t is said that 12 states of
the union have decided that their treat
ment is not medicinal and that there
fore they are not subject to the regula-
tions of medicinal laws.
