MAGNET SAVED SIGHT.
Used to Draw Fragment of Steel from
the Eye of the Victim of N =.
Explosion.

DR.. Charles Stedman Bull reported
the case of man, who, as the result Of
a machinery explosion, was struck in
the eye by flying fragment of steel.
It perforated the cornea, iris and lens,
and entered the vitreous body, which
became filed with blood. Three hours
after the accident when DR.. Bull first
saw the patient, it was decided to make
an attempt to extract the foreign body
by means of the great Haab magnet.
At distance of one and three-quarters
inches the action of the magnet pro-
duced such violent disturbance with
in the eyf that it seemed as though
the latter would be pulled from it's
socket. This left no doubt as to the
location and nature Of the foreign
body. The wound in the cornea was
thereupon enlarged, and when the eye
was then broughfipto almost actual
contact with the magnet, piece Of
steel about three and one-half mil
lineters wide was drawn out through
the original hole in the lens, iris and
cornea, and became adherent to the
pole of the magnet. An ophthalmo-
scopic examination made subsequent
to the removal of the foreign body
showed hemorrhage of the vitreous.
After period of ten days treatment
the patient was discharged from the
infirmary with the hole in the cornea
and iris partially closed, and his vision
was about two-thirds normal. There
was no further cloudiness of thelens,
in spite of its having been perforated.

The Mission of Socialism
BY HON. WILLIAM JOHNSON,
Socialist Member Chicago City Council. Z.

When food, clothing and shelter was provided
in an individual and primitive manner, the result
was so scant that it necessary that some devote
themselves entirely to production, in fact be slaves,
in order that portion of the race might have OPP
portunty for culture.
To be sure, this opportunity was frittered away
in dissipation and otherwise abused by some, but

Cannon Wants Purchasers to Pay the
Indians.
Members Of the South Dakota dele
cation in congress have had several
conferences with Chairman Cannon in
the past few days at which the Rose
bud Indian treaty bill was discussed.
1t can be stated that the bill will not
go through the house at this session
in it's present shape, because Mr.. Can
non will not consent to the govern
ment buying land outright and wait
ing to be reimbursed by sales to set
tiers. He win probably withdraw his
opposition, however, IL the bill is
changed to provide for the payment
of the Indians from the proceeds of
sales to settlers, and members of the
delegation are considering whether il
will be better to insist on keeping the
bill in its present shape, thus putting
off its passage until the next con-
gress, or to modify 1t to meet Mr..
Cannon's objections. If 1t is modified
and passed the opening of the reser-
walton will be delayed, as the agree
ment will not become effective until

oyercrowded Condition OF. the YanIS-
ton Hospital.
As the legislature Is being asked to
make adequate provision for the care
of the insane, some facts in connec-
ton with that institution are peril
nent
On the LIST day Of December the
overcrowded condition Of the hospital
for the insane is stated, as follows:
The number of single rooms with two
patients in room on the mems wards
was AZ; the number in excess OF prop
er accommodations was Al; the mum
Der in alcoves and other space intend
ed for day room was 35: the number
in excess of what can be properly ac-
commodated In the cottages %; total
number of male patients in excess of
suitable accommodations, 131. OF
these patients 6S were sleeping two
in a bed. In the women's wards the
number in. excess occupying single
rooms was "a; the excess of the prop
er number OF dormitories was &c, the
number sleeping in halls and alcoves
intended for day use, 46; the total
number OF women patients in excess
of suitable accommodations was 80.
OF these fifty were sleeping two in a
bed, so that on that date there were
223 more people in the hospital than
their accommodations justify, and of
this number 118 were sleeping two in
bed. These facts have been plainly
stated to the appropriations commit
tees and through them no doubt will
be made known to the legislative as
sembly. After such showing no one
can possibly claim that the requests
of the hospital for more room are not
imperatiyely demanded, and 1t is alb
surd that they are abated to the ex-
tent Of a single dollar.
