Nerve tirarting.

One of the marvels OF the modern
era has been the wonderful progress
made in medical science in all It's
branches, particularly in surgery.
One of the latest wonders effected in
this line is the grating Of nerves, or
we should say perhaps, the grating of
nerve. The object was the cure OF
palsy in young child, and the dead
portion of nerve on one side Of the
leg was taken out, and the rest of the
nerve carried across the leg and graft
ed onto the corresponding branch on
the other side Of the member, an in
cision having been made for the pur-
pose. DR.. James X. Young, a promi-
nent Philadelphia surgeon, conducted
the operation. The New York Sun
reports the process as follows:
"Thc operation occupied just ten
minutes, and only few drops of blood
were shed. The patient had suffered
10 perceptible shock. y plaster cast
was placed about the child's leg. Then
began the tedious wait for the result,
which could mean SO much for the
child and for the surgical world at
large.
About month after the operation
there gathered in one of the hospital
wards number of representative sur
geons. They had been told of the ex-
pertinent, and were anxious to see it's
result. Carefully the case was cut
loose, the bandagcs removed.
Move your foot, little one, said
DR.. Young.
Slowly but surely the foot obeyed
the impulse Of its owner, moved back
and forth where before it had lain
helpless. The child has continued to
gain strength until now there is no
longer doubt that the grating Of
those two tiny nerves has brought
back much Of the retarded energy
which seemed to doom the affected
member to life OF inactivity. The
foot will probably never be quite so
good as the other, and Dr.. Young
claims only partial success for the ex.
pertinent, but the result indicates that
progress may be made in this line.
"The former method of treating in
fantile palsy, and one which is
still in vogue with many eminent sur
geons all over the world, is the trans
planting of muscles or tendons. In
this operation an active muscle is
transplanted into one that is paralyz.
ed. Sometimes it is successful.
"Owing to the newness of the nerve
grating system, the conservative sur
geons who have witnessed the opera.
tion hesitate to speculate too enthu-
siastically upon the extent it may
reach in the treatment of all forms Of
paralysis. Even DR.. Young admits
he is not so sure that every phase of
palzy may be successfully treated by
the grating Of nerves, but says that
the discovery extends hope to those
sufferers who before have been con-
| sidered incurable."

fessions. The sixth volume will be
devoted to the churches and fraternal
societies, while the last book will
show Dakota scenes and faces.
It is the intention Of the publishers
in this work to do away with the
usual admiration feature and give as
complete history as is possible to
obtain the facts for. Those who are
acquainted with the editors of the
work fully believe that their investiga.
ton will be thorough and the history
be made one Of which all residents OF
the state can be proud.

that he will meet with the encourage
ment which the merits of the work en-
title him to receive.

men were talked about for the posi-

members OF the church called upon the
archbishop and urged the selection Of

high level of nearly all commodities.
Labor is high, raw materials are high
or advancing and cost Of living Is high
At the moment there is little prospect
of concessions in any Of these quar-
tiers. Unions are keeping up the price
of labor, trusts are keeping up the
price of commodities, while compare
tive scarcity is keeping up the prices
of many food products and rents. In
general it can be safely said demand
has outrun supply. and until this situa-
ton is reversed no widespread reac-
ton can be expected. We may there
fore look for a good business season
in spite of high prices; but it must
be borne in mind that conditions are
highly favorable for stimulating III
creased production and that we are
steadily approaching period when
production will overtake consumption,
and then price concessions must fol-
fow. Conditions are vastly different
now from the recovery which began
just eight years ago with Mr.. McKin-
ley's election. Then we were on the
low-level basis; now we are on the
high-level basis, and it follows that the
boom which began in 1896 is not to
be repeated in 1904. On the contrary,
prudent business men will move cauti-
ously, although there Isl distinct
tendency towards a revival Of enter
prise because successful speculations
during the last three months have re-
kindled hope and confidence. In all
probability bankers and others who
support new schemes will have to ex.
ercise a great deal of discretion and
self-restraint during the coming year.
else we may easily be led into repe.
tition of the reckless ventures which
brought us disastrous panic conditions
throughout 1908.

VOTED FOR FIFTY YEARS
General w. D. Washburn Of Minneapolis
Has Voted For Every President Who
Has Been Nominated Since 1852.

Minneapolis Tribune: Few men in
America enjoy the signal distinction of
Gen. w. D. Washburn. who has voted
at every presidential election since
1852. AS republican whose promin-
ence in political and industrial life
has given him national reputation,
Gen. Washburn's views on public ques-
lions are always interesting, and in
an interview with The Tribune yester-
day he outlines the duty of his party
returned to power by the greatest
popular majority ever recorded in
American politics. T..
II voted for Gen. Scott in 1852 and
have voted every presidential election
since," said Gen. Washburn. "The
election of President Roosevelt I re-
gard as the greatest triumph for de-
cency and good government in the
country's history. The overwhelming
majority by which he is returned
places an unusually heavy responsible
ty upon him and the republican party
as we'll, but am confident he will
meet the condition conscientiously ant
courageously. He has now an abso
lutely free hand to do whatever hi
conscience and judgment deem best.

when it is the imperative duty Of the
party to readjust existing
tariff duties, pushing vigorously the
enlightened policy, propounded by
James G.. Blaine and by our martyr
president in his great speech at
Buffalo.
IT believe that nine-tenths OF the
thinking republicans in this country,
particularly in the western portion Of
it, demand a business.like and just
revision Of the present tariff schedules.
The changes should, be made by the
republican party, and it now has the
fullest opportunity. The underlying
principle of protection should not be
disturbed. In other words. protection
should be maintained wherever 1t is
required in the interest of labor, but
no further. ruin. .,.,s~
"The party cannot stand sponsor for
the creation of gigantic trusts or the
building up Of great home monopolies,.
and have faith that it will be found
equal to the occasion, as it has in
every emergency which has confronted
the nation.
| "The election of President Roosevelt
, cannot but have a most wholesome
effect on the moral tone of the country.
Political morals will be purged by it.
Young men can learn from its great
object lesson that true man is APP

fact that the country is enjoying gen
