LOST ON GRAND RIVER.
Station Agent At NOwata
Writes a Book.

''Lost on Grand River" is the
title Of book just published, and
il is the work OF G. 0. Bristow,
agent ofthe Iron Mountain railway
company at this place, says the
Nowata Air.
The book contains 13l pages,
and the reading matter therein
will be very interesting, especially
TO old residents OF the Indian Ter.
ritory, who are much acquainted
with some the circumstances lead
ing up to the publication of the
book-as the story deals with the
deeds and the acts of lawlessness
Of Bill Cook, Bill Doolin, Chero.
kee Bill, Jim French and other
outlaws who infested this section
C! the territory until their jobs on
earth expired by limitation and
they went somewhere else to
operate.
In the spring OF 1891 Mr.. Bris.
tow came TO Nowata to work for
the railroad company in the capac-
ity of agent and telegraph opera
tor. While fulfilling his duties
us agent be became acquainted
with Cherokee Bill--at the bust
ness end of a winchester--and he
BID seemed to like Mr.. Bristow
10 well that he made him another
'all in a few days, and their &C.
luaintance was thereby prolonged.
This time, as before, Bill relieved
ar. Bristow Of all the company
money on hand.

Mr.. Bristow later had call
rom deputy United Stated mar.
hal in the person Of Pike Smith,
'ho is now running local freight
n the Valley division Of the Iron
fountain. The TWO of them

it lost from the marshal and was
lptured by Cherokee Bill and
opt a prisoner in the wilds OF

SUFFERED NO PAIN.

Old Woman Able to Watch Operation
Performed Upon Herself.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1S.-Mrs Mary Arndt,
despite her eighty-three years, watched q
surgeon at the county hospital today
a'nrutate her right leg, near the hip,
without giving any evidence of pa. The
cl.eratIcn proved succe So Il.
DR.. Samuel L. Weber, member Of the
advisory staff of the hospital, had charge
of the operation, which Is said to be the
first of its nature performed in America
and the second known to medical men,
the first having been performed in Eu-
rope. DR.. Weber made a study of the
initial operation, and concluded that the
method might be employed for the am
putation of lower limbs of patients who
were unable to Withstand the effects OF
ana eSthetics.
The method consists in the deadening
of the nerves of the limbs by the injec-
ton of cocaine in the vertebral cavity
above the point where the nerves control
ling the lower limbs branch from the
spinal cord.
The patient had suffered a gangrenous
affection of the leg, and amputation be-
came necessary to save her life. She was
not in a condition to make the use of al
anaesthetic SAFE and the surgeon decided
to try the method which had proved sue
cessful in Berlin hospital.
The drug was injected into the pa
tents vertebral cavity short distance
below the waist line, and soon she an
nounced that she had lost all feeling In
her lower LIMBS while she was fully con-
scious of what was going on and had the
full use of all her faculties.
The limb was removed two inches below
the hip, and, after the effects of the drug
,I,n
felt we'll The prospects for her recovery
are good

Case In France which Recalls the
Affair of Dreyfus.
PARIS, Feb. 1SAThe sensational news
papers of Paris publish a story with re-
gard to subcfief of one of the bu-
reaus of the ministry of marine named
Philip, who is said to have been dis
covered In an offer to furnish Great Brit
ain information relating to the freight
ing OF vessels for the Transvaal in
French ports 1t is alleged that in the
letter containing his proposal he asked
$4,000 francs in return for the informa-
ton. 1t is alleged that the letter was
seized on the strength Of information
given through DIR. Leyds, whereupon M.
Philip absconded.
The Nationalist journals intimate that
he received timely warning from the
French government and was thus ena-
bled to escape to England.
DR.. Leyds denies the report attributed
to him in the affair, and the British en-
bassy has issued Reputation of any re-
lations, direct or indirect, with Philip.
According to the Journal des Debats,
Philip has gone to the United States,
where he formerly lived, and where, 1T
is said, he became a bankrupt as the
result of his unfortunate management
of his business as a picture dealer.
The method by which he was trapped
recalls the Dreyfus affair. He received
letter inviting him to meet yelled
lady, as In the notorious case of Lieut..
Col. du Patty de Clam, at a well known

CARING Did Not Appear.

Henry CARING, Socialist candidate for
mayor, was billed to speak to section st.
Paul, Socialist Labor party, yesterday
afternoon. He was not able to appear,
and Max WIKI took his place, his address
being Material Conception Of History"
Mr.. WIKI said that there was more than
one way to develop progress. All history
has for Its foundation the economic condi-
derstand by material history? The eondi-
lions under which products are earned
and distributed. This was the key to the
problem at different periods The whole
history of social life appeared but one
form of economic development. Capital
lists ignored this great trust. They held
that great deeds We're the work of great
men, and that they owed their greatness
to their individual personality.
Carl Marx had been the first to show
the fallacy of this theory. The greater
the productivity. the greater was the in,
tellectual condition Of race. At one
eat captured prisoners. 1t was considered
cheaper to do So But when implements
and machinery had come into vogue it
was found far more economical to make
slaves of them.
1t was held by the speaker that civiliz-
alton had not developed through inspira-
ton but through the struggle to gain a
livelihood. All bodies move on the line Of
cial and economic life. Man desires to Sc
cure livelihood by the easiest way.
Wherever the means of production and
distribution are cruel then is the lowest
are better life is better A man with an
empty stomach is unqualified to think If
the great mass of working people had
leisure to improve their mentality and
brighten their intellects, their progress
would be greater.
Plato and Aristotle had justified slavery
But they had said that when the loom
and shuttle were made to work them
eAlx- - IL xryi41
there then would be no need of slavery
That time had come. Workingmen had
not received their share of the progress
siveness Of this world.

called barker" because he makes

Engineers of the Pennsylvania Sys-
tenn Want Higher Wages.
ALTOONA, Pa, Feb. 1S.-Two hundred
delegates from all parts of the Pe4ssyl-
vania railway system between St. Louis
and New York, representing the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, met in
secret convention here today to formu-
late demand for an increase in wages.
Chief P. M. Arthur, of the brotherhood
presided over tho session. Reports OF
conditions from each division on the sys.
TEN were made. The arduous work re
quired on the big modern locomotives
was brought forth, and general complaint
made against the system of non-payment
for unavoidable delays necessitating ex-
ira work. A general increase of 10 per
cent was unanimously recommended to be
acted upon by the subordinate lodges.
In an interview, Chief Arthur denied
there was friction between the engineers
and the company at present
'I cannot explain the exact nature OF
our executive business today said he,
further than to say that we discussed
the general situation. There is no trou-
BILE at present neither do we anticipate
any. The engineers think they should
have an increase with the other divisions
of labor. There was no division of sen
timent The branch lodges will act upon
its recommendation
