The Choral Union Concert.

The concert given by the Choral
Union at the Opera House, Thursday
evening, showed plainly that the mu-
sical talent of Bellefontaine is well
developed, and capable of giving a
concert of high merit. The choruses
under the efficient leadership of DIR.
Miles, were well rendered, and the
only thing to be desired was more
voices. The male quartet was excep.
tionally good. These gentlemen
should keep up an organization oi
their own.
Mrs. Otto Sand is an artist of rare
ability, having 4 delicate touch. d

troubled with an abcess in the left

cavity. Since the operation nearly
three pints of pus has been drawn,
and the patient is much improved in
consequence-his pulse and respira-

with good chance to recover.

REPORTS from Turkey and Bulgar-
ia, concerning the insurrection of
the Christians in Macedonia and ad-
jacent parts of Turkey, continue
alarming but, evidently sensational.
The chief business of the Insurrec-
tionists and Turks seem to destroy
unprotected villages and their in
habitants. Turkey has ordered out
more troops, and as none of the Pow.
ers are inclined to take hand in the
fight, peace will probably soon be re-
stored by Turkey wiping out the pre-
datOry insurgents

she HOPES TO WALK
Little Eleanor Skinner Who Was OPP
Grated On by the Famous
DR.. Lorenz.
Another Operation Will Be Neces-
sary Before the Treatment Will
Be Complete.

Little Eleanor Skinner Of Oakland ave-
nue. will be the happiest girl in the world
II DR.. .Adolph Lorenz, the celebrated
orthopedic surgeon, should come to Min
neapolis as has been minated Little
Eleanor has the distinction of being the
only Minneapolis child who has been
operated upon by the famous man, and
she Is awaiting somewhat impatiently a
second operation. which, it Is hoped, will
make her like other little girls.
Eleanor, who is an exceedingly bright
and cheerful miss of years. was born
with double congenital dislocation of the
hips and to supplement and rectify the
somewhat imperfect work of nature. DR..
Lorenz modelled for her a cast enclosing
the lower part of her body and her limbs
down to the knees. When this cast Is
broken 1t is expected to find that the in
genious device has done all that it was
designed to do
The trouble with little Eleanor was
that there were no sockets at her hips
and she was doomed to the life of a Grip
pie There are recognized methods of
trea tment for this affection. but the course
is long and the results extremely uncer-
TAIN.
When it was learned that DR.. Lorenz
was in America, Mr.. Skinner consulted
with the family's medical adviser, DR..
p. M. Hall, regarding his daughters
case. DR.. Hall telegraphed to DR.. Bill
ings, the Armour family physician, and
received a reply which brought joy to
the Skinner family. 1t was to bring the
girl to, Chicago at once.
The little limbs were wrenched and
forcibly worked loose from the tissues
and fastenings and bent outward until they
stood straight out at right angles from
the body and they were fixed in this ar
tifcial position by a big plaster cast The
operation was a severe trial on DR..
Lorenz, for he was almost exhausted
by it. .,
Since the Inflammation consequent upon
the operation has passed away, the child s
activity is greatly assisting nature in
the formation of socket for her limbs
The theory of the operation is that the
constant pull of the big tendon holding
the limb, with the slight motion of the
limb allowed by the cast and the kind
ness Of nature, will form a socket It
was on Oct. "a that the cast was fitted
and it is hoped that it may be broken
and removed in another month, but three
months will possibly be better. The
SINNERS have every confidence that the
treatment will prove a success. The
child's limbs are we'll developed, strong,
and have grown almost two inches since
the cast was applied.
