The remains of Mr.. Zed In

was chronic'ed In our last issue,
arrived here on the midday train
Saturday and were taken at once
to the Prssbyterlas cemetery
where they were inferred. The
mails the same day also brought
to tho young mans father full
particulars of his illness and death.
1t seems that Zed had been i'll of
appendicitis which assumed such
serious form that tho attending
physicians ssw no bops for his
life unless an operation was bad.
Zsd consented for the operation
to bs performed, but it only
revealed the fact that periton tits
had set in and that human skill
and medical knowledge we're of
no avail. a few hours later he
died.

STILL UNCONSCIOUS.
VIII Henry Continues I'm n Bad Way
From His Injuries,

viii Henry, son of Aaron Henry,
who lives eight miles west of the city
on the Des Moines river bottoms is
lying unconscious and possibly fatally
injured at his home, as the result of
being struck on the head by falling
hay stacker.
The accident occurred about
O'Clock Thursday morning of last
week while y. Jung Henry was stack
ing hay in the field adjoining their
house. He was using flour pole
stacker" in which the machinery
works between four poles, two at
either end of the stack These poles
are held in place by ropes fastened
to stakes farther away, While Henry
was at work on the stack one of the
stakes became loosened ana the poles
at one end fell over towards the stack
striking Henry on the left side of the
head and fracturing the skull badly.
He was picked up unconscious and
carried to the house. Drs. Abbott
and Swearens were summoned and
found that the right side of the head
had been badly crushed, some of the
skull bones being embedded deeply
in the brain matter. One portion of
the skull was removed entirely and
another piece was lifted and fastened
into place. Henry is still unconscious
or nearly so. After examination this
morning DR. Abbott thought that
there was slight change for the
better as he seemed to recognize
people and understand little of
what was said to him although he
was unable to speak. The right side
of the body is entirely paralized and
it is doubtful whether he will ever re-
cover. Even If he should it would be
almost impossible that he could re-
gain his former condition. Physi-
clans look upon his case as very
