VERY PECULIAR CASE

Sioux City. Ia. Nov. 24.-Medical

Amputation vas necessary. Following
the operation, DR.. A. p. Bowman was
began to moan n said:
"Oh, my hand Is cramped 30. Please
s%traighten the fingers and rub them"
The doctor did not like to tell the
boy his arm had been cut off. as h lit
tie fellow had just come out from under
the influence Of the anesthetic, so he
said:
"Your arm is all wrapped up now
and cannot be disturbed"
But the sufferer kept pleading to
have his hand Strengthened out, and
the doctor who had heard of curious
cases of persons complaining of pain,
In amputated members, decided OF make
an experiment. He called a nurse and
instructed her to sit with the boy and
note his actions and heed every word
he spoke.
The doctor went into the operating
room and picked up the portion OF the
boys arm which had been removed.
Sure enough the hand was in n very
cramped condition. He Strengthened
the fingers carefully and rubbed them.
Returning to the ward where the
boy lay the physician asked the nurse
II the patient had said anything.
Yes" responded the attendant. II
stopped asking to have his hand
Strengthened out and said:
There, that feels lots better"
The lad soon vent to sleep.

That grain rates have been raised
9 cents "A hundred pounds, effective
December Is, has been confirmed In
Omaha Officials Of the RAILROADS who
attended the Chicago traftiVt meetings
at which this was decided last week
have returned and nave announced that
the reports were correct. They de-
u the idea hat this Is to be a
hardship to the farmer or that 1t was
done to swell the treasury reports or
the railroads.
Two cents a hundred on all grain
shipped out of Nebraska is the edict.
1t is "A winter rate n said not to be
ut all likely of permanency, 1t Is far
more costly to ship grain In the winter
than In the ummer time; this is one
reason for the raise. Road expenses
have been raised by the dvance in
salaries OF employees; this Is another
reason.
The maximum charge for shipping
wheat from Nebraska to Mississippi
points from st. Louis to Dubuque is
10 cents n bushel. The minimum is
$40. Nebraska farmers who realize
the extent OF the differential In their
favor AS compared with Iowa will not
think that they are being wronged.
Farmers in some parts of Iowa paid
Only d anu = CtItS less tnuIl tnOSt VI
Nebraska to get their grain to Mis-
sissippi points. 1t is said to be no
wonder that many of them are selling
their $40 and to take that In Nebraska
at $50.
The officials say that the interests OF
the farmers and railroads are one in
common. For hat reason there should
he no fear that the railroads are seek
ing to wrong them. When grain prices
were low and times were hard, they
point out, the roads reduced the rates
commensurately and some OF them
have not been advanced greatly since
that time though nearly everything
else has gone up.
Reports that the raise Is to extend
to all articles of shipment are declared
false. East of the Mississippi. rates
in general will be revised, but west OF
1t those on structural iron, steel, barbed
wire. nails and some other fifth class
commodities, aside from grain, are to
be raised only to the former standard
from which they were lowered by a
rate-cutting match between railroads

1t is a fact SO patent to me that | ask

would not be wise for the Mayor and

keep needless people from wasting it.:
There is not valid reason under the

Another Electric Road ?


The JOURNAL hears well defined re-
port going to this effect:
The Cumberland and Pennsylvania
railroad company proposes to meet the
electric line with competing track, to
be built on its own ground alongside its
Eckhart Branch steam track, to carry
passengers and small freight at rates that
will paralyze the new concern.
This report includes the statement
that the G. and p. electric will seek and
gain entry into town on the terms ac-
corded to the F., E. and G. road, and re-
turn to the town therefor the service
which the Mayor and Council allowed
the latter to withdraw. In other words,
it will give more of the town service
and better than that rendered by the
present road to about half of one street
only.
In view of the fact also, it is further
stated, that the G.. and p. people are not
pleased with the reception accorded to
the F., f. and G. road, any inhospitality
shown the c. and p. electric will be
quietly but effectively resented by ie"r-
ing FroStb",g oFh"ir ne" line aItogrthrr!
This can be done by taking i'll Hotf-
man, possibly Vale Summit-crossing
the ridge to Borden Shaft, thence paral-
leling the other line all the way to West
ernport. Then, i'll their determination
to make competition i'll, they would carry
very many people to Cumberland who
would otherwise come to Frostburg.
There is idle enginery at Eckhart and
enough waste power at the New Shaft
and Ocean to furnish all the electric
generation needed for all of the 2S-mile
line, over which passengers will be car
ried rithom rhangc Of cdrs.'
If there is anything i'll all the fore
going story, the mysterious surveys of
the early spring are explained, and it
may be that the wideningof space i'll the
Narrows now making is for electric
trackage.
Only one part of it the JOURNAL dis
likes-the suggested discrimination
against Frostburg for anything that has
so far happened. The welcome accorded
to the new road was that which is every
where extended to new facilities for
popular convenience and comfort
Hence, another opportunity OF the same
character will be just as warmly greeted.

A Frostburg partisan of the hog pen
