access TO the home life of the natives
She was very observing. bright wom-
an and saw the interesting domestic IN
cidents of Hawaiian life seldom pre-
scented in printed descriptions.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
OF her program was her singing of Ha-
waiian folk songs, the melodies OF
which she had jotted down In musical
short hand and supplied the necessary
accompaniment herself Mrs. Titus is
a stately, somewhat striking-looking
woman of society, possessed of a good
contralto voice and perfectly self
poised delivery She carries with her
collection of curios of Hawaiian house

Operations are becoming fad; every
young man, as soon as he is graduated
from a medical college, considers NM
self capable of undertaking the most
serious and complicated surgical WORK,
and hundreds of lives are sacrificed an

tent men to rush into work Which
should only be undertaken as a last re-
sort, and then only by the most expert
enced and careful surgeons.

Will Finish in Another Week.

In the course of another week the
Iowa Central will cease work on the
Immense amount Of grade revision
work that had been planned for the
past season. The work. as outlined for
the season last spring, was not COM
pleted, but it is thought that one month
of next spring will see it completed as
contemplated. So far no new work is
being arranged for along this line for
next season. but it is thought more than
likely that some time during the winter
a conference of the officials will be held
for the purpose of planning for further
work along the right of way that will
be carried to completion next summer

Hart is Improving.

John Hart the old man who was
struck by Great Western train Tues
day evening, is more than holding his
own, and his condition is somewhat i'm
proved over that of yesterday. Today
he does not complain of the intense

unless some complication sets in he
may possibly recover.
