it might be necessary to resort to the
tapping of the abdominal cavity, and
until a day or two ago it was believed
that it would have to be done. In his
message to Mrs Wilson yesterday the
doctor said the surgeons had decided
that this supplemental operation would
not have to be performed, and they
gave the patient assurance that his
condition vas in every way hopeful. SO

trip to California and later a visit to
ST. Joseph's hospital at Denver, where
the recent operation was performed.
DR.. and Mrs. Wilson and their three
children, Mary, James and Robert,
came to Laramie in August, 1899, and
Don had a large circle of friends. The
doctor opened an Office for the prac-
ticc Of his profession in the Frazee
building, later removing to the Temple
of Economy building, and gained a very
large practice. embracing some of the
foremost families in the city. Ill
health caused the closing of the office,
when DR.. and Mrs. Wilson left the city
for San Francisco, AID since then 1t
has not been occupied by hin. Mrs.
Wilson took a leading part in the work
of the church. finding ~conaenial friends
among its members, they finding in her
a lady at all times to be depended up
on. The fact that DR.. Wilson had in
less than three years become one of
the trustees of the church speaks in
unmistakable tones of his worth as a
man and a brother in the church.
The Thanksgiving humber. 1898, of
the Woman Shield" published by
the Brotherhood of American Yeomen
at Des Moines. Iowa, has the following
sketch of DIR. Wilson, following a por-
trait cut. which is reproduced here
with:
"Dr. John B. Wilson was born on a
farm in Gibson county, Indiana, where
he grew to manhood. He taught
school for money to attend a college.
After a collegiate course he taught
school again for five years. He grad
uated at the Kentucky School of Med
icine in 1888. He began the practice
of his profession at Stewartsville. Ind,
where he soon built up a large and ~
crative practice. He had not been N
the practice more than five years when
his professional business extended
over three counties, and he was re-
garded by his professional associates,
as well as the laity. as one of the most
successful practitioners.
"Dr. Wilson took a postgraduate
course at his alma mater in 1897. and
moved to Mount Vernon. Indiana, the
following fall. but in February Of 1893
he failed in health and in June moved
to Canon City. Colo. In his new field
of labor, though not fully regained in
health, he is rapidly getting to the
front. DIR. Wilson is a member of the
State Medical Association of Indiana
and OF the American Medical Associa.
ton"
The death of DIR. Wilson was a dis.
tinct shock to the people of Laramie,
who had come to recognize in him a
learned physician and a good citizen
and his family will have the sympathy
of the community. The date Of the
funeral will be announced later. An
effort is being made to have DR.. Tar
bill. superintendent Of missions fol-
Wyoming. conduct the funeral service
The Knights of Pythias, Elks and A
o. U. W. will assist in the obsequies.

in his power to keep afloat. Many who
learn to swim often wonder at their
slow progress through the water,
which is solely occasioned by so many
learning the strokes incorrectly; there
fore particular attention should be
given to the elementary or initial
stages.
In my varied experience have found
that most nervous people gain con-
fidence quicker on the back, as 1t is
not only a more natural position but
it is much easier for a beginner to
breathe, as so many have the tendency
to tightly close the mouth when SWIM
ming on the breast.
Start then by laying on the back,
either held up by a person or by the
aid of an air bladder; straighten your
self out, hold the head way back, the
ears being under water. Some persons
do not like the water penetrating their
ears; to overcome this place a little
cotton wool in each ear, then initiate
the abdomen, draw your arms up
alongside the body and straighten
them out in a straight line with the
shoulders; then push the arms and

AaEGWEP
(By Prof. F. E. Dalton.)

(By Prof F. E. Dalton.)
In this age of athletics it is really a
wonder that everyone cannot swim, es-
pecially when the essentials required
for it are only a few feet of water and
the arms and legs. There are few
places, even in our interior towns and
cities, where the water cannot be
found. Again, the smallest child or
weakest woman can enjoy the science
natatorial
For those who have never tried to
swim these brief but thorough instruc-
tions are prepared.
When undressed rub yourself down
with a rough towel, and then walk into
the water.
The first thing to be done on enter
ing is to put your head under water,
open your eyes and accustom yourself
to the look Of things under water,
which will overcome any fear that you
may possess. After this has been done
two or three times place any object
that Is hard and white at the bottom
of the water, then try to pick it up,
which will necessitate opening the
eyes.
When thoroughly accustomed to the
water, get an air bladder.
Personally, think an air bladder Is
Of more assistance in holding a per-
son in the water than a friend, as the
bladder keeps one up to a uniform
height, whereas when held up by
friend one is apt to either slip, tire or
lose patience, and the result is the
pupil is Unexpectedly forced under the
water and is apt to loose confidence

hands through the water until the lat
ter touch the legs. After some little
practice those movements will come
easy.
One great point beginners should al
ways remember-keep the hands and
legs under the water. Many begin
ners get frightened by having so much
of the water wash over their faces
This can always be overcome by keep
ing the hands below the water. When
you have mastered these arm move
ments fairly well commence on the leg
strokes. Start with the legs straight
ened out, the heels together, draw the
feet up toward the body, keep the
knees well turned out as far as pos
sible. Shoot the legs out wide, then
finish the kick by bringing the legs
straight together with a snap. This
stroke and way Of swimming on the
back will be found to be not only the
easiest but the best, for one can lie
on his back and rest by simply stretch
ing out the arms back over the head
in a straight line with the body.
For the breast stroke commence by
practicing the arm and leg movements

on shore. The hands should be
brought together to the chest and shot
out straight in front and then turn the
hands fiat, palms downward, and
bring them straight round in a line
with the shoulders: from there bend
the elbows back and bring the hands
together at the chest. For the leg ac-
tion lie face downward on a stool,
draw the legs up, then kick them out
as wide as possible, then bring the legs
straight together.
The leg movement is the same as on
the back.
Practice the arm strokes first as they
are easiest to manage. When you
have had a few days practice, try and
swim: commence by bending forward
with the hands straight in front of
you and give yourself a slight push
with your legs, then try and do the
movements slowly and do not shorten
them.
In diving always be collected and
cool when you dive. Have the lungs
normal, or rather don't dive with all
the air out of them; 1t is dangerous
Never dive in strange or muddy water.
