arose and went on his way. and was
not further molested. He left cheek
was cut by the blow and he bled freely.
He thinks he saw dark figure before
him just before he received the blow.
The motive of the assault is inexplic-
able. If 1t was for robbery 1t is strange
that Mr.. Skidmore was not again at
tackled. One theory is that he was mis-
taken for County Recorder c. c. Olson.
who was fatally slugged some weeks

street and Mr.. Skidmore is about Mr..
Olson's size.

ment of the Empress Frederick. was
informed of this by the empress. and

herself to, Professor Moritz Schmidt.

diagnosed a "geshwueist' or tumor of
the vocal cords. He saw from the hor-
ror-stricken face of the empress that.
far from reassuring her, this medical
expression only augmented her fear.
BY coincidence this very expression
had been employed in the first bulletin
published regarding the malady of the
Emperor Frederick. 1t IS for this rea-
sen that in the bulletins issued by Drs
Schmidt, Ilberg and Won Leuthord the
word "stimmlippen'' was used instead
of "stimmbaender' twocal cords) and
"gutartige polyp," or benignant poly
pus, instead of "geschwuelst.' or tu-
NOR These synonyms were chosen in
order not to further alarm the en-
peror.
The imperial family fought the idea
OF making the fact of the operation
public. The emperor opposed this with
all his force.

the state of my health he declared.
IT desire that they should be told the
whole truth.
At the moment he said this the en-
peror thought he was seriously III. In
