Rush's wages for January, amounting

been secured in the Holman building at

that at least one of them will be ready

to make these rooms as attractive as
possible. It is their idea to have here
the current magazines and papers and
as many books of reference as possible.
These latter books would be greatly
appreciated, as almost every family on

THEY CANNOT AGREE.
Shawnee and jefferson Commits
sioners Wide Apart.

The Shawnee and Jefferson boards of
county commissioners are still unable
to agree to a proposition for the re-
building of the Granville bridge.
The Jefferson board returned home
after a conference with the Shawnee
commissioners Tuesday. The final
proposition of the Jefferson board was
that they should bear One-fourth of
the expense of the bridge, which would
mean that Jefferson county would pay
$500 and Shawnee county would pay
$13, 500 toward an $4,000 bridge. The
Shawnee commissioners announced
that they were willing to pay $1,000
more than half the cost of the bridge,
which would make Shawnee county's
share $4,000 and Jefferson county's
share $4,000.
Jefferson county will derive the
greatest benefit from the bridge and
the Shawnee commissioners think for
that reason that Jefferson, should bear
rebuilding" said Commissioner Sterne
this morning. 1.-The Shawnee county
farmers and nurserymen have bought
land in Jefferson county, and if the
bridge is built more will probably do
So This increases the value of land in
Jefferson county and brings up their
assessed valuation and as result the
county gets more taxes. The bridge
helps the Topeka merchants and BUSH
ness men some. but we think that the
greatest benefit derived is from the
farmers going to Jefferson county from
Shawnee. Besides that, this is the only
bridge that Jefferson county has to
rebuild while Shawnee county has five
to rebuild.
1--WE proposed that the two counties
submit to the next legislature a bill
providing that the counties bear the
cost equally. This the Jefferson COM
missioners declined to do. We also
suggested that the question of Jeffer-
son county paying one half be submit
ted to a vote of the people of Jeffer-
son county, but this the commissioners

ENDED HIS LIFE.
Kansas City Man Fires a, Bullet
Through His Head.

Kansas City,. Feb. 24.-Shirley
Straight, a Spectator at the stock
yards and a well known amateur ath-
lete, living at so7 Armstrong avenue,
Kansas City, Kan, committed suicide
yesterday afternoon by Shooting him
self through the head. Straight enter
ed the Turkish bath rooms of Sam
Jones & Co., at 1196 Walnut street,
shortly after 4 o'clock and was shown
to one of the retiring rooms. An at
tendant removed his coat and vest and
then Straight, seating himself on a
stool beside a cot raised a pistol to his
head and fired. The bullet entered just
above the right ear and passed clear
through his head.
A disappointment in love is believed
to have been the primary cause of the
act. Straight had been in love with a
young woman who formerly lived in
Kansas City, Kan, but who moved
with her parents to Oklahoma about
two years ago. Recently, according to
close friends of the young man, let
tiers from the young woman had come
less frequently than formerly. This ev-
identity proved upon his mind, and for
several weeks he had been respondent.
Straight had also suffered business re-

s'When my little boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash, which was very itchy and ran con-
siderable watery 6uid. We tried every
thing we could, but he got worse all the
time till It spread to his arms, legs, and
then TO his entire body. and he got SO
bad that he came near dying. The rash
would itch so that he would scratch till
the blood ran, and thin yellowish stun
would be all over his pillow in the morn

his wrists. He got so weak and run
down that he took fAinting spells like
we would think him dying. He was al

were thin like claws.
He Gwas bad about eight months
when We tried Cuticura Remedies. I
had not laid him down in his cradle in
the daytime for long time. He had
got so that he just slept in our arms all
the time. l washed him with Cuticura
Soap and put on one application of
Cuttcura Ointment and he was so
soothed that l put him in the cradle.
You don't know how glad I felt when he
felt better. took one box of Cuticura
Ointment, pretty near one cake of Cuti-

LIE FROM DEATH.
dead Animals Revived by Methods to
Be Used on Persons.

DR.. Grille presented a short paper on
this subject, in which he gave a sum-
mary of experimental data. When
asphyxia caused failure of the heart
and respiration vigorous artificial res
piration usually restored their function
when administered within a few Sec
onds. 1t was effective In an inverse
ratio to the time that had elapsed; it
vas rarely effective after 40 seconds.
By the addition of saline infusion a
larger proportion of animals could be
resuscitated after the lapse of a little
longer time. Rhythmic pressure upon
the heart, either through the thOrax by
pressure upon the ribs over the heart
was also an aid.
The effect of the traumatism to the
heart by the direct method partially
counterba1anced the benefit from this
measure. Nitrog1ycerin, alcohol and
digitalis were useless; rapidly alternat-
ing the posture, head up, then head
down, was not effective. Suspending
the animal head down and making
rhythmical pressure upon the heart was
an effective method. This method gave
the brain the advantage of gravity; it
provided a moderate artificial circu-
ulation as we'll as respiration. 1t could
be promptly applied. The addition of
saline infusion increased the effective
ness of the method. Animals apparent
ly dead for periods up to 15 minutes
were resuscitated by the combined eff
feet of artificial respiration, rhythmic
pressure upon the heart and the infu-
sion of adrenalin- Adrenalin. when in
jected directly into the chamber or into
the wall of the heart, caused hbrillar
contractions, after which the heart
could not be resuscitated. After final
cessation of the heart, by employing
manual compression of the heart and
infusing adrenalin, the blood pressures
could be raised even higher than the
normal Respiration in some instances
was partially restored.
Experiments in which saline infusion
was substituted for adrenalin and which
were unsuccessful, were. promptly sue
cessful on adding adrenalin. In patient
with crushed skull, whose heart had
ceased beating for nine minutes, resuscl-
tation of the heart for 81 minutes by TINS
method was made. During the operation
for the elevation of the depressed bone
the patient moved his head.
Another patient, apparently dead from
a severe crushing of the base of the skull,
was partially resuscitated "A minutes al.
ter the apparent death. The proofs OF
the apparent death were absence OF respl-
ration absence of heart sound on Stetho-
scopic ausculation, and, as final PROOF,
on opening the jugular vein there was ao-
sollItelv no circulation In this case the
blood pressure rose to 80 nm. at one time;
voluntary respiration appeared Inese
