quently the cause of much annoyance
to politicians who attempt to make
canvass prior to an election, and.
while such difficulty Is encountered
in Lewistown, it would scarcely be
believed that such great changes
would occur within a year. AS a
fact, eighty-seven names appeared on
the registration books of last spring
which this year were absent and the
registration this year was greater by
lightweight than that Of a year ago
lightweight electors left the town. or
died, and one hundred and seventy
five new ones acquired residence
within a year. Such a change is GER
tainly remarkable and the growth is
gratifying.

When the noted DR.. LorenZ of vi
emma was in the United States last
fall, the newspapers gave much atten-
tion to operations which he performed
and there have been many specula.
tions as to how successful these
would prove. A few days since we
learned that among those cases taken
to DR.. Lorenz was May Gray. daugh-
ter of John W. Gray, former postmas-
ter Of Lewistown and at present re-
siding in Dubuque, Iowa. Miss Gray,
who is now seventeen years old. had
suffered from a hip trouble for If.
teen years and when in Lewistown
was terribly crippled. Though the
great surgeon accepted few cases
where the patient was older than
eight years. in this case a most re.
markable cure was accomplished.
Miss Gray now has complete control
of her limb, is steady in her walk
and her heighth is seven inches
greater than when bent with her in,
trinity.
