.PREFERSDEATH.
TO PRESENT
LIFE !.
MAN WHO HAS SUBMITTED TO
NINE OPERATIONS is READY
FOR ANoTHER-MANY SUR
GEoNS INTERESTED.

Max Oestreicher, the man who has suf-
fered for years from some unknown dis
ease and who has come to Atlanta as a
last resort. announcing that. he would
commit suicide If the Atlanta doctors fall
ed to cure him. will this afternoon or to-
morrow morning be admitted into the
Grady hospital to prepare for an opera
ton which DR.. w. p. Nicolson will per-
form in the next few days.
DR.. Nicolson has consented with great
reluctance to undertake the operation, but
Oestreicher tells him he is perfectly will
ing to die on the table or from the effects
of the operation and that he cannot con-
sent to live longer in his present condition.
DR.. Nicolson has therefore consented and
the arrangements for a room at Grady
hospital have already been made.
The entire medical fraternity of Allan

Hurt by striking the head against a man

became infected and this infection has
spread until the greater part of the head
and all the face have become diseased.
Nine operations have already been sub
mitted to and each time a portion of
the skull removed until now a third of
the head is gone and still the disease
continues its ravages. Oestreicher has
spent a fortune and Travelled all over
the country to find some one to cure him.
but has so far failed. What will be done
for him now cannot be told. as DR.. Mich
olson will have to decide as he works on
the operation how far to go and how
much of the face and head to remove.
The case of Oestreicher is known to
physicians all over the country, and the
outcome will be watched with interest.
A heretofore unknown germ has, been dis
covered in the man, and it is hoped that
something valuable to science may be
learned from the case before it Is ended.
The new germ may be studied and named
and then people will have still another
disease to dread. f.f ..

USE of OIL for GOOD ROADS

sand and they become all the better
for 1t, as 1t is then more springy and
easier on the horses feet.
"The oil treatment is a road builder
and preserver. It solves the question
of bicycle roads. 1t does away with all
makes the road fully as good as II
paved. From my observations and In.
vestigations | imagine that we can Inn
prove somewhat upon the method fol.
lowed by these people. It is possible
that we would have to pay more for
the oil, but we might easily save on
other things. We might heat the oil
without a boiler for the present, and
ire cost of keeping up our streets
would not be so much as they are In
better condition than those OF our
neighboring cities. The oil treatment
eliminates the dust and when II is gen.
orally adopted the sprinkling cart will
be thing of the past. This seems to
be the best and only solution of the
problem Of good roads. After one good
dose the maintenance would cost prac-
tically nothing.
THE city engineer and street super.
intendent took the pains to inform
themselves very thoroughly as to the
processes and the preparation OF the
streets. What they will have to say on
the question will be OF great benefit to
our citizens
There has been some complaint
that the oil makes the road sticky but
think that this is only when II Is not
put on right. is not sanded or rolled.
and is allowed to stand in puddles.
There is also some complaint that Il
smells, but that is small matter as II
.loes not last more than few hours.
III is estimated that on the sandiest
roads the first application requires
from 1875 TO $50 barrels on an average
far each mile. The second application
made after year requires about half
as much and the third about third
as rluch. We found no roads which
had peen oiled for longer period than
three years, but II is the opinion OF
the experts that by this time the road
Is put in perfect condition and that nd
rJore oil will be required.
"Yes, ! would be much disappointed
If the street department should not be
given an opportunity to show the feas'
ibnlty of the process, and think that
when once It is tried at home the
county as well as the city will be anx
ious To take II up. We have all the
material necessary close at hand and
as | said before. can make more OF a
success of 1t as our streets are in such
good condition.

PLAN OF TWO BOYS
TO GO TO BIG FAIR

Two boys. Forrest and stephen Rod
dy Of Centralia, Mo-, have put into ex.
! ecutlon a plan by which they expect
10 get TO the Worlds Fair Of 1904 at
st. Louis without expense to their par.
ents. They will be drawn in a cart by
two 2.year-old cattle. Vacation was a
problem with Mr.. Roddy as with all
fathers; much more of problem than
1t was with the boys. What would be
done with the boys after school was
puzzling Mr.. Roddy. He wanted TO
keep the boys employed and of the
streets. The purchase of the calves
was a solution. They skirmished
through the country and found two Of
the same age that matched For one,
s. was paid, and for the other So. "The
boys will kill the calves" declared
some Of Mr.. Roddy's friends, as thew
ridiculed his venture. But the boys
did nothing of the kind. They soon
had the animals well trained to har.
ness, working finely. Feeding and car
ing for them was sufficient employ
ment to keep the youngsters out OF
tlllsCnlel.
The Centralia Fair Association gave
the cart, Its owners and drivers free
admission. provided they would drive
around the show ring. The famous
| cattle herds Of central Missouri did not
attract more attention. The second
day OF the fair a wealthy farmer Of.
fered 800 for the team OF calves for
his boy. but the Centralia youths.
though sorely tempted. refused to sell.
The young men will raise them. get
an old.time outfit and drive to st.
Louis through the city to the exposi-
ton. They hope to sell the team there
for enough money to pay their expens-
es at the exposition. stephen Roddy

MYSTIFYING FEAT
DONE WITH FIGURES

Tell some friend to put number
down on piece of paper. Let It be
any number above hundreds. For In.
stance, 9s,30l. Tell him that he may
place another number under this con.
tanning the same number of figures.
Then you place under that another
number. Then he the next and you
the last.
Allow him then to place n paper or
something over all the figures but the
top row, so that you cannot see them.
You can then draw line below the
paper and almost instantly tell him
the sum of the several numbers. never
falling. He may say that you have
committed the figures to memory
while they were being put down. Let
him try II, when he will be convinced
that he is wrong.
IL Is done In this way. He puts
down. say 9s,301 for his first number
and 35,42s for his second. Then you
put down, off-hand. 64.57l. He has
one more chance and puts down. say,
s3.692, and you then follow with 16, 3O7.
The figures will stand thus:

SURPRISING TRICKS
FOR THE PARLOR

One Of the neatest and most sur.
prlsing tricks may he performed as
follows by the amateur prestidigita.
teur Have large tumbler filled al.
most to the rim with Jet black ink; to
test the inks dyeing quality, dip a
card flor instance, the seven of
hearts, into the fluid. When taken
out the part of the card which was
dipped In is shown to be dyed black.
The tumbler Is covered for few mo-
ments with white handkerchief.
Then commanding, link disappear"
the performer removes the cloth and
we see little gold fish swimming in
crystal clear water where before the
Jet black in khad been. What appears
to be ink is strip of black paper. fit-
ted into the glass, pressed smoothly
against the side by the water. But
how is 1t that the card appears black
when dipped in? The card is double.
that is, two sevens of hearts are past
ed, backs together, and the lower part
Of one of them is painted black. The
clean seven Of hearts is shown to the
audience, and when dipped It into the
water turn the card around and the
black side appears. Covering the glass
with the handkerchief. the performer
gets hold of the black paper and re-
moves II with the handkerchief. Then
the water appears clear and with the
little fish swimming about. To remove
the painted card explain to the audi
ence that the ink might spot their
hands or clothes, and SO carry 1t
away.
Mind Reading.
Mind reading is more in the nature
Of trick than game, but as anything
that creates surprise or approaches
the wonderful always proves attract
i've and entertaining. we introduce
this plan of reading the contents Of
folded paper by laying II across the
forehead. The mind reader seats him.
self at table at one end OF the room.
Slips of papers. all the same size and
shape. are then distributed among the
audience. with the request that each
one write thereon short sentence,
plainly and in English. While they
are busy writing, the mind reader or
medium is preparing for the trial by
first making sundry passes across his
forehead. rubbing each arm slowly
from shoulder to wrist, and then sit
ting calm and silent staring at the
wall. Each person folds his piece Of
paper carefully and they are all col.
lected by some one, who. standing next
the medium. presses the first paper
folded on the mediums forehead, who
with closed eyes Immediately reads
the contents out loud. and then veri'
fies it by taking, opening and re.read'
ing 1t with his eyes open, and re-
kuests the writer to acknowledge 1t,
after which the second paper is treat
ed in similar manner, thuscontinu-
ing until every paper has been read
and acknowledged.

as to make no mistakes. The confed.
crates part is very easy. II Is sim.
| ply to let the medium know what Is
to be written on his piece Of paper.
and be careful to leave that particu.
lar message for the last one to be
read. On these two points depends
the success of the experiment, for II
makes no difference what the first
message is. The medium reads ont
whatever the confederate was to write,
and while pretending to verify It
while re-reading II with his eyes open
he is really fixing in his memory the
lines in the first paper which he reads
