REMARKABLE OPERATION
Michigan Physicians Implant Skull OF
Dog Upon Human Head.

Physicians of the college hospital at
Saginaw, Mich, have performed a re-
markable operation. that of grating a
piece OF a dogs skull upon a human
head. The patient is John Olberg of
Kenton, Houghton county He is now
recovering from an old affection.
Olbergs skull was fractured four
years ago. over the hole, which was
an inch and a half in diameter, there
formed a foreign growth. This pressed
on the brain and caused commissions.
When 1t was decided TO operate on
Olberg. the doctors chloroformed "a dog
and removed a piece of its skull. The
piece taken out was then implanted in
the opening in Olberg's head.

What promises to be one of the finest
offices in this city. when finished, is
the new Adams Express Company's Of
fee at No. sos Market street. The
place Is to be one OF the most modern
express stations in the country, and
every possible convenience will be In
stalled. A force Of worlxmen mas been
lat work for some timeand hopes to have
the place ready for occupancy by
Thursday or Friday. The new building
will give much more space for office
room. and large room in the rear for
the storing of packages and all un-
claimed goods until the owner is lo-
Gated. Heretofore the company was
forced to store its goods In the office
proper, but the new place does away
with all this.
Four new horses have been added to
the stable. and two new teams. In view
of this the management hopes to put
before the public a service that has
never been in action before.
