aesophagus was not quite so large at
its lower end.
He could not swallow past the bone
plug and was in a very painful plight.
and the physicians We're at their wits
ends in the effort to assist him. AT last
they sounded around the bone with a
probe and found a place on one side
where a small steel wire could be passed
by the obstruction. Then they took a
steel instrument that was graphing
hook on small scale and carefully
coaxed it below the bone. When they
pulled up. hook caught below the
bone and half of it came out. The other
half was fiahed out next. The bone was
partly gristle, but all of it was hard and
tough except where it separated into
two pieces.
Carlson is doing we'll and Is able to
eat and drink again.

IF. Hardy, the school teacher who re-
Gently disappeared from Cedar town
ship. leaving his school without warn
ing, seems TO explain the cause of his
disappearance.
1t is reported today that Hardy has
been in the clutches of the Waterloo
police at least two times since he was
first seen in this section last August
The charge against him each time has
besn that of drunkenness. The first
time he was brought before Mayor
Martin he acknowledged his indiscre-
ton, gave the name of j. r. Harklns
and paid his fine without a question
only pleading that the matter be kep'
as quiet as possible. His penltehce
softened the hearts of the city ohlclals
and it was believed he would REFORM
Apparently he did reform for a while
for the officers saw nothing OF him
until last Sunday night, when he was
picked UP again on the charge OF
drunkenness. Again he gave the name
of Harkins, but today the police de-
clare they have the best of evidence
that he was no other than the young
school teacher. Hardy.
Outside of the mans police record
nothing is known of him in Waterloo
1t Isl apparent, however, that he must
have possessed an uncomfortable APP
petite for strong drink and that when
ne cscaped from the school room he
revealed in the pleasures it would bring
him. Hardy. or Harkins, drew his pay
Friday afternoon for his first month OF
school in the Cedar township district
and he must have disposed of the sum
rapidly, for when he was taken before
the mayor Monday he did not have
enough to pay his fine in entirety.
1t is learned from County Superin-
tenGIent Moore today that undoubtedly
the real name of the school teacher
was Harkins. Mr.. Moore says he
came to him first in September and
asked if there was an opening for
teacher in the schools of the county.
Halkins presented as credentials a
certificate of is years behind the mas
ter's desks in Pennsylvania schools,
and also presented state teachers
certificate from the state.
County Superintendent Moore ques-
toned the man thoroughly and devel-
oped the fact that he was well edu-
Gated and that his credentials were all
straight. After sometime he secured
the Cedar township school for him.
Harkins, he says, told him that he had
been in Wrterloo for some time as an
employee of the Waterloo Gas & Elec-
trio Co., and had put in hot summer
days in the ditch with the laborers
here.
When he drew his pay and left his
boarding house near his school last
Friday he told young girl at the Col
inveaux house that he would return
in time to help her carry the evening
wood into the house. He failed to re-
turn and since then nothing has been
learned OF him except his experience
with the police.

February IA, 1899. the supreme court
decided that the saloon statement of
consent under which saloons were do
ing business in this city had been inval-
dated by the code revision of 1897. The
saloons We're closed and remained clos
ed until June following, during which
time the work of securing q new petit
ton OF consent was prosecuted. The
board of supervisors refunded the por-
ton of the unearned mulct tax for the
first quarter. but upon June .. when the
rev statement of consent was declared
to be sufficient sixty-two saloons We're
opened. The county treasurer required
the saloon men to pay the entire tax OF
$3.50 for the second quarter and an adj
ditional penalty of $3.50 in each case
for failure to pay 1t on the first day of

that the saloons had only twenty-one
days to run in the second quarter.

ter and the added penalty were entitled
to recover back the amount for the
time their places were closed, and also

$142.5O in each case.
