County Lines.

After ten years of experimenting,
h representatives of the counties
west OF the Missouri river believe
they v q county boundary bill
that will stick. The bill was approx
ed by the governor and attaches Bow
man county to Billings, Hettinger,
Dunn and part of old Williams to
Stark, and a part of the latter coun-
ty to Mercer. The voters of the three
counties must approve the proposed
change before it can be effective, so
that the law cannot have effect until
the next general election.
Several times efforts have been
made to attach the unorganized ter.
ritory west of the river to the OIL
ganlzed counties, largely for the pur-
pose OF bringing the extensive. cattle
and stock interests in the inorganic
ed counties into the organized coun-
ties for taxation. The first bill, pass
ed in 1898, vas vetoed by Governor
Roger Allin. At the following SEES
sion of the legislature a bill was
passed, adding the territory in ques-
ton to Stark and Billings. After sew
eral years of litigation, this law was
declared unconstitutional by the
supreme court. E

priginator of the operation This was
Adolf Lorenz, professor Of surgery in the
University of Vienna, and head of the
department of orthopedics in the general
hospital Of the Austrian capital. DR.. Lo-
Tenz was willing to take the case, but de-
sired the little girl to be brought to him.
But Mr.. Armour, acting as American mil
lfonaires are supposed to act abroad, Of
fered price sufficient to compensate, him,
not only for his trip across the Atlantic
and for the operation, but for his loss of
time and labor abroad, and that of his
assistant, DR.. Frederick Mueller, as Well.

his progress in the past few years has
been almost identically that of orthopedy
itself. Austria knew him long ago, for
he grew up there a shining example Of the
truth that it is not in the new world alone
that the poor boy can make his way to the
top. Lorenz was a poor boy, a very poor
one. He was born on a farm, of peasant
stock, and during all his boyhood and
young manhood toiled as only farmers toll
who have never had the advantage Of
American farming machinery. Flowing,
sowing, reaping, working before sunrise
and after sunset, he built the massive
frame and the enormous muscles which
make him now able to perform operations
unaided for which others require appa-
ratus and assistance. s@.-

Adolf the Great Austrian Surgeon With Soft Strong
the Farmer Boy Blessing Suffering
manity-An Insight Into His Methods Work. ID.


McClure's for January contains an arti-
Gle on the eminent Austrian surgeon who
was brought to this country by Philip D.
Armour to treat a faYorite grandchild
who was suffering from what is techni-
cally known as bilaterol congenital 6isloca-
tion of the hips, which, in simple English
means that when the child was born it
was found that both femurs or thigh bones
had slipped from the hip sockets at the
time Of birth or previously, and of course
as the muscles, grew and the tendons
hardened each year increased her help
lessness. She was put under the care Of
e. Chicago surgeon famous for his work
in orthopedics. and by him she was taken
east for examination by other orthoped-
lists. There was apparently but one thing
to do-to operate by what is known as
the "Lorenz method" of reducing the dis
location-an operation which has made
famous it's discoverer. The surgeon per-
formed the operation, and put both hips
in plaster casts. After a time the casts
were removed, and it was found that one
hip, was entirely cured. The other had
slipped out Of joint again and required a
second operation. ~ .f#
How He Was Induced to Visit America.
It was at this point that Lolita's father,

the little ones. He Strengthened. curved
backs, reformed :. club feet, corrected
bowed legs and knocking knees, set wry
necks upright, and in other ways reme-
died and improved the cripples who We're
brought to him. Perhaps most of all he
gave his attention to the troubles of the
hip joint, and especially to congenital dis
location. When he began to practice,
child who was born with the. head of the
femur- outside of the acetabulum, or hip
socket, was doomed to remain a cripple
through life. There was no way Of reme-
dying the defect. Paolo Poggi was work
ing with it in Italy. Lorenz went at it
in Vienna. Almost simultaneously they
developed a mode Of operation-possibly
Poggi having something of advantage in
tin which, by cutting down into the
hip, laying open the defective joint, scoop
ing out false socket and placing the
head Of the fernur in it, and then binding
it In place until it had healed there, some
thing of an improvement in the joint
could be made. There were many dan :
gers in it. Blood poisoning might follow.
Suppuration often did. The child might
not be able to rally from the shock. Or.
more commonly than these, the joint be-
came stiff, so that the patient would al
ways be lame. But generally the child
could walk after a fashion.
|. Five hundred times Lorenz operated
by that method, always trying to improve
it. He wanted to do it without the knife,
for it is always his aim to do away with
the use Of the knife as far as he possibly

the anaesthetic prevented that. And the

Advice to Labor Unions.

If the unions and contractors CAD
agree upon some general system of
arbitration, and good faith shall be
kept upon both sides. it will go far
toward bringing about an era of better
feeling. AS to the necessity for some
agreement to arbitrate, there need
be no argument. The millions of
building investment in large cities
hung up or withdrawn altogether
ought to be an object lesson of the
most convincing kind. There is no
other recourse left for contractors
but to demand arbitration. Mr.
Gompers is wise in recognizing the
necessity for it and counsellinR its sd
option. Chicago Daily Tribune.
