changes were made no one In the clerk S
office can remember now.
The records show that the persons were
married by Justice Wen under the name of
Whyte and Mary Vanarsdel, and that they
both gave DeS Moines as their residences
to him. Whye described himself as trav-
cling salesman. County Auditor Innes wit
messed the marriage, which was performed
in the private office of the clerk of the
court, as his signature to the record testi-
fies, but he does not remember the cir
cumStanceS.
Copy Sent to Mrs. WheeIdon.
How the many erasures and changes
came to be made in the marriage record is
what puzzles Clerk Reed. He says that he
is certain no changes were made after the
parties had attached their signatures, ex-
cept that of the signature of the woman,
who was permitted, when she came to the
ofhce few days later, to sign herself as
Nicholson in place of Vanarsdel.
A copy of the record as it now appears
IN the book was sent yesterday to Mrs.
Wheeldon, and Clerk Reed is awaiting fur
Their developments. If Whye was Wheel
don. why did he get married under an as
sumed name, and if he was married to
Mary Vanarsdel, or Mary Nicholson, why
is he now trying to repudiate the marriage?
These questions are interesting Clerk Reed.
The list of marriage licenses for September,
Z, 1897, as published in the daily papers of
the day following, give the residence of
Nhye ana NanarSdei as DeS Mo1neS which
is taken to show that the words Auburn,
Neb, and Omaha were substituted on the
day following the issuance of the license, if
not later"
Each BIames the Other.
When Wheeldon was shown the dispatch
from Council Bluffs today he admitted that
he and his wife had been married under
assumed names and placed the RESPONSE
bility for SO doing on her He said that
she insisted on it and he consented.
Mrs. Wheeldon laughed when Informed
of what her husband had said.
THAT We were married under assumed
names is true, but he was the one who
proposed it. He said he did not want his
family to know about it,
Neither was inclined to discuss the al

Fixing Up Fractures.

The cemmonest surgical operation is the
care of fractured legs and wings. In nine
cases in every ten. according to the bird
specialists. broken wing or leg can be
saved The broken leg is pulled apart until
the two ends of the bone come together,
when it is covered with splints and tightly
bandaged. In dressing canary birds legs
an ordinary quill toothpick is often used for
splint. The quill, when split, is merely
placed about the leg and bandaged. Sew
eral birds which have had their legs broken
In as many as three places have been cured
at the bird hospital, scarcely retaining a
scar to show the point of fracture. The
legs are so soft that they heal very quickly
Ten days or at most two weeks of treat
ment will usually make them as good as
new for all practical purposes. One Of the
first things to catch the eye In the surgical
ward Is the peculiar hanging bandage used
in all cases of bruises or fractures. The
bird rests in loop of soft cloth. with its
feet extended through two Sits In the bot
tom. It remains very comfortable In this

DANGER OF BATHFRS.
Patience of Life Savers May Restore
Respiration.

In these days when accidents from
drowning are frequent it is Of interest
TO learn that a boy was brought to life
after having been under the water for
twenty-five minutes. This is certainly a
very remarkable circumstance if the time
limit can be verified. Usually from three
to five minutes under water are sufficient
to cause death In most instances al!
efforts at respiration cease after two
minutes, and the heart stops ut the end
of ten minutes. After removal from the
water there is Il chance of reviving the
victim so long as the heart continues to
beat, and hence ali efforts at reSuScita-
ton should be encouraged for varying
periods from minutes TO hours.
Not infrequently artificial respiration
has been successfully maintained from
two to four hours, and lives have been
saved. Fortunately the victim in the
present instance was in the hands of eX-
perts, and no opportunities were lost
when the body was brought to shore.
Too much praise cannot be given to the
life savers for their long and persistent
efforts. From such a standpoint the case
is most worthy of record as an encour-
agement for others under like trying con-
ditions.
The main principles of treatment are
the clearing of the waterlogged lungs and
the forcing. by rhythmical movements of
arms and chest. of the inspiration of air
until the natural respiration is estab-
lished. The whole thing rests upon the
patience and pluck of the operators
therefore. again, all praise to the life
