Cocaine in the Spine.

Mrs. Mary Arndt, in spite of her 80
years, watched a surgeon at Chica-
60 hospital amputate her right leg,
two inches below the hip, recently,
without giving any evidence Of pain.
The operation proved successful. Tie
operation was of great interest to the
surgical world. 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 it's ma
ture performed in America, and the
second known to medical men. the
first having been performed in Europe.
DR.. Weber made a study of the initial
operation and concluded that the
method might be employed for the
lover limbs of patients who were una
bic to withstand the effects of anaes-
thetics. The method coneists il The
deadening of the nerves in the limbs
by the injection of cocaine in the YER
tebral cavity above the point where
the nerves controlling the lower limbs
branch out from the spinal cord. The
patient, while losing all feeling III the
lower limbs, had the use of all her
faculties.
She had suffered a gangrenous af-
fcction of the leg and amputation be-
came necessary to save her life.

= Aluminium is used by the peo-
pie Of Hartford Conn, to the extent
Of 10000 pounds to bring electricity
from waterfall some IL miles dis

wire is used largely in place of copper,
being almost as good conductor and
cheaper. Ten years ago aluminium sold
at sSa pound; now it sells for 30 cents.
An American plant last year pro-

erals could not tell whether VIC had a
company or battalion. On the 9TH
cr hand, the light behind them threw
them out in bold relief, and VIC could
almost exactly estimate their force
The Fcdcrals knew their disadvantage
and rctreatcd. 1t was not an orderly
retreat, either. The men broke and
ran. They went hcltcr -skcltcr to-
wards the Federal camp. Many threw
their guns away.
"All at once we saw that the tall
Major was trying to rally them. lie
had spurrcd his horse to the head Of
the rctreating line, and was begging,
pleading and cursingin indiscriminate
alienation. Finally he stopped the
retreat, and ordered an advance. He
was directly in front Of the line, and
] as he gave the order to charge he put
spurs to his horse, and with drawn sa-
bcr came on at dead run. The men
followed him for short distance, and
then we rose again and gave them an
other vollcy. This vollcy stopped
everybody but the Major. lie did
not seem to think it possible that his
men would fail; and while the others
ran the Major came on with unslacked
pace.
"Whcn the Major was within hun.
drcd yards OF US one Of our men raised
his gun and with an oath said:
III stop you'll
"At the instant that lie pulled the
trigger, however, the man next to him
pushed the gun to one side and shout
ed
Don't shoot him. He's too
brave"
Nothing but q rifle shot could have
stopped the Major and his horse in
the sevcntyfive yards space that in
tcrvcned between himself and our
forces lie rode right at US, yelling
to his men to come on, and waving his
sabcr.
''Twenty-iivc yards farther on he
turned in his saddle, surprised that he
heard no responsive yells behind him.
He saw only an indiscriminatc massof
running men. He tried to wheel his
horse, but the brute was as game as
his master and would not wheel. The
spirit of battle was in him, and he
was going to charge. Nothing could
| stop or turn him.
Our men arose and gave cheer as
horse and rider drew near. The Major
draw his revolver and pulled the trig-
ger, but the hammer only snapped,
aaa he threw the useless weapon
away. Then he grasped his saber
again, and evidently made up his mind
to die fighting.
AS horse and rider came charging
in among us, tall Arkansas fellow
seized the Majors saber arm ss it was
descending to strike, and pulled him
of of the horse. Half dozen other
fellows grabbed the horse by the bri-
die and stopped him. Both horse and
Major were our prisoners.
'The Major was taken to General
Marmaduke's headquarters. All tho
night he walked up and down in front
Of his tent, swearing like q sailor at
the men who had failed to obey his
order to advance. He was absolutely
the most disgusted man I ever saw.
He never seemed to think of the dan
ger he had been in; all he did was
to curse because the men had failed
him.
II forgot to mention that We took
the cannon back with u.s.

THE COCONINO SUN.
Water Supply.

The flow of water from Jack Smith spring is increasing. The melting snow In the mountains is causing the in- crease. The repairs on the reservoir are expected to be completed to-mor- row, when water will be turned in.
 Arrangements have been made with the Arizona Lumber & Timber Co. by which that company will put in the pipe to the spring above the Jack Smith spring. The company will furnish the pipe and put it in without expense to the town, and when the work is finished they will turn over the pipe line to the town for it's use and benefit. Inas- much as the cost of the line will be about 5000. it is generous act of the Arizona x Timber Company, and is fully appreciated by the members of the council and our citizens.
 [ This spring will give an additional supply of about loo. gallons daily.
 k. B. Burns, resident engineer of the Santa Fe Pacific, and J. Aubneau. member of the town council, left this afternoon for the source of the town water supply, and they will make thorough inspection of all the springs in the big basin under the north side of the peaks.

ingness of those on whom it has been
bestowed to go back to work Last
August frightful hurricane swept the
island and deprived the majority OF

There was nothing to do but feed
them or let them starve. Public and
private charity came to their relief
The policy of feeding them until they
were able to plant and gather new
crops was adopted unhesitatingly. II
was assumed that by the beginning Of
this year it would be possible to stoI
issuing rations. But when that time
came it was found impossible to stoI
entirely. An aggregate of 100000 ra
tons daily is yet being issued. i
has been decided to quit this business
entirely before the close of the month
but the natives are making loud OBJ

A CLOSE SHAVE.
Two Curious Stories of Escapes from,
Elephants.

Two Curious Stories of Escape, from
Elephants.
Mr.. w. A. Chanler, in his recent
book, Through Jungle and Desert:
Travels in East Africa" tells two very
curious stories of escapes from ele-
plants. Firing at one of herd OF
elephants, he was charged by five OF
them They were close upon him
when his fox-terrier jumped upon the
foremost beast, barking and biting
furiously. The brutes at once halted,
and with scream Of fright turned
sharply to the right, and l was saved. y
THE Nasal Interpreter, rushed at by
one Of the herd, jumped into heap OF
prickly bushes. The elephant stop
ping, fumbled among the thorns with
his trunk. The Nasal instinctively
held out his sandals, which were
promptly seized. The sandals seemed
to satisfy the curiosity of the beast
for having taken them with his trunk
1t dashed them to the ground and
trampled upon them. Then, with a
loud trumpeting Of rage, it passed
down the path" The native was no
doubt thankful enough to escape thus
with his life. but between the thorns
and the feverish excitement of being
pursued by the monster he must have
been pretty uncomfortable. 1t was, in
fact, kind of prickly heat he had not
experienced before.

such sleepers are apt to rot internally,
though they may be apparently sound
on the exterior. On the Alsace-Lor-

BEAUTY's ORAVEST FOE.
An Ill Temper Is Sure to Ruin Its Vic
TINS Beauty.


Bad temper and worry will trace
more wrinkles in one night than hot
and cold bathing and massage and
complexion brushes and creams and
lotions can wash out in a years faith
full application. Physicians assert
that an immense amount of nerve
force Is expended in every fit of bad
temper; that when one little part of
the nervous system gets wrong the
face first records it. The eyes begin
losing the luster of youth, muscles be-
come flabby, the skin refuses to con-
tract accordingly, and the inevitable
result is wrinkles, femininity's fierc-
sst and most insidious foe. There is
40 use attempting to reason with a
woman about the evil effects of Ill
temper while she is in an ugly mood.
She knows perfectly well that it is bad
form; that it savors of the coarse and
underbred; that 1t is weak, belittlfng
and immoral, and that it hurts her
cause to lose her temper. But she
does not stop at just that time to
think about it, and to remind her of
the fact only adds fuel to the flames.
But when she is cool and serene and
at peace with all the world, you can
convince her that each fit of temper
adds year to her age by weakening
her mental force and by tracing crow
tracks about her eyes and telltale lines
around her mouth, she will probably
think twice before again forgetting
herself. For no matter what she as
serts to the contrary, woman prizes
youth and beauty above every other
gift the gods hold it in their power to
bestow upon mortals.-Woman's Home
