after thorough examination, the doctors
said the shoulder was healing in an en-
not the least reason for expecting any Sc

applied which will remain on for about
ten days.
The doctors admit this is rather long
time, sbut they wish to take every precau-
ton against removing the bandage too
soon. Senator Cockreli will remain In
Washington until the doctors are through
with him. 1t Is doubtful whether he will
be in Missouri before the st. Louis con-
