affected with peculiar malady. A
wisdom tooth began to grow in his
lower jaw, but instead of growing up
ward it grew in the contrary direc-
ton, settling in the muscles of the
jaw. The, unruly tooth gave Condiff
a great deal of pain, but he thought
nolmng of it until one morning he
awoke to find that he could not open
his. mouth. He went to a physician
who diagnosed the case as peculiar
kind of lockjaw. For a time it was
thought Condiff would die, but on the
advice of friends he came to Dubuque
and entered Finley hospital. The case
baffled the skill of the attending sur.
geons for a while, put they finally de.
cided that an operation was the one
resort left. Accordingly three weeks
ago the cartilages were cut Immedi.

Parnell, Sept. 13.-Rosa p Duffy,
the young lady who was held to the
federal grand jury for the shortage in
the funds of the postoftice at Parnell,
has been acquitted of the charge. The
case of Miss Duffy was one of the
most interesting before the grand jury
at the present term of court When
she was arrested and taken to Cedar
Rapids for arraignment last April, half
the population of the little town of
Parnell went with her. The evidence
showed that great deal of the post
office money had been put in queer
places, some of it having been found
in g. box with private letters of Miss
Duffy. But there was little, if any,
evidence to show that she had divert
ed any of the money to her own use.
