LOST HIS TONGUE BY CANCER
Only Has One-Third Left, but Will 81
Able Later to Talk In
telligibly.

New York, March 3.-An official Of
a Brooklyn coal company, 3. S. Finch,
has submitted to an operation for the
removal of his tongue. About two
thirds was cut away, yet with the re-
naming portions of the organ and the
muscles of his throat he will be able,
after little practice, to speak intelli-
gibly. The operation is the second Of
that nature performed here within a
few months.
Finch had been a heavy smoker for
years and complained six months ago
of an irritation near the base of his
tongue. A cancerous growth appeared
and spread SO rapidly that when the
operation was found necessary the
tongue had become affected from the
tip to the base The glands of the
mouth were also congested, and it be-
came necessary to remove them.

Had 'lIm Scrambled.

"A salesman in department store
who possesses considerable wit entered
"a restaurant in the central section OF
the city the other day, and, finding the
waiter to have been recent arrival
from Ireland, told him he wanted two
friend eggs.
II want one egg fried on one Side
and the. other egg fried on the otnel
side, and ] want them quick" the
salesman added.
"Would you kindly write that on q
piece of paper?" said the waiter.
II haven't got time Be quick, tell
you
Zone fried egg fried on both sides
and the other fried egg fried on the
other side" muttered the Irishman as
he was leaving the table.
In few minutes the salesman heard
much commotion In the Kitchen There
were loud words and they were pune.
tuated with sounds which seemed like
blows.
Presently the waiter appeared much
excited, and, rushing up to the sales
man, exclaimed:
Say, I had terrible fight with
the cook about those eggs, and you'll

ELGIN CITIZENS PROTEST
They Attack the Leasing of the City Elec-
trio Light Plant to Private
Company.

.
Elgin, ILL.,, March 3.-In desperate
but probably unavailing effort to get a
square DEAF in disposing of the mu-
nicipal electric lightfplant' 1000 citi-
zens of Elgin held a mass meeting to
protest in the Dubois Opera House.
Bitter attacks We're made upon the
ordinance leasing the plaTt for ten
years to the Elgin, Aurora and South
ern Traction company, and upon the
hurried passage Of the measure
through the city council. The alder
men who voted for it allege that their
course was justified.
I'VE had to pass theOrdinance quick
~" said Alderman B. S. Pearsall, who
has been most active in the leasing of
the plant. IF we hadn't the men who
have been obtaining light from the
plant at pull rates would have raised
a howl and blocked it. Private own
ership will save the city $4,000 this
year and 100000 before the ten-year
lease is up"

Some UnnsnaI Resemblance

&
It is matter of common knowledge
&at when a husband and wife have
iyed together for a long period they
not only acquire the same tricks of
voice and manner, but they show a
strong facial resemblance, so they
might easily be taken for brother and
sister Almost everyone has at least
one such instance among his ac-
Quaintances But it is perhaps less
well-known fact that a similar re.
semblalance often results from a mis-
tress and servant being associated to.
gether for long period OF years.
Added to the fact OF constant nearneSS
there is usually OH the part of the
servant desire to initiate the voice
and manner Of the mistress she so
much admires. And this often ex-
tents to the facial resemblance. There
are in small provincial town of New
England two most unusual instances
of this resemblance. Two maiden
ladies live there. each of whom has
been attended for the greater part of
fifty years by a woman who is more
a companion than servant In both
cases the women have become so as
tonishingly like their mistresses that
they are often mistaken for them.

Enough to Kill 66e Persons.

The bottle containing the bi-carbOn-
was purchased in Australia, but, ac-
cording to Miss Bertha Berner, Mrs.
Stanford's private secretary, and the
maid, May Hunt, the bottle was re-
filed in this city at local drug store.
DR.. w. G. Stevens, a medical expert,
made this positive statement: "Six

Would BE Difficult to Detect.
Louis Falkenau, who made the an
alysis of the mineral water drunk by
Mrs. Stanford last January, which was
poisoned with strychnine, said:
"Strychnine and bi-carbonate of soda
cannot be detected easily Soda has a
crystalline appearance and looks some
thing like strychnine 1t would re-
quire an expert to detect the appear
ance of strychnine, but it could be
done very readily" The finding of the
large amount of poison in the bi-car-
Donate bottle puzzles Mrs. Stanford's
relatives and attorneys in this city.
Her Friends Refuse to Talk.
Mountford s. Wilson, her chief coun-
sci. and G. G. Lathrop, her brother
declined to make any statement until

Honolulu. They held an extended con-
ference with d. O.. Mills. but would
not discuss the matter under consid-
GRAFTON, though it is intimated that
Mrs. Stanford's will was mentioned.
Absence of Motive Is Battling.
The apparent absence of plausible
motive for such crime battles her
acquaintance, as well as the detec-
tives. Revenge or animosity are not
regarded as possible factors of the
question, and nothing has been shown
to indicate that a desire to obtain an
expected inheritance could have
prompted the deed.

Do Not Suppress a Cough

When you have cough do not try to suppress it, but remove the cause. The cough is only symptom of some disease and the disease is what you should cure, then the cough will stop of itself. The most common cause of coughing IS cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress the cough, and prepal ations containing chloroform, opium, etc, are used for that purpose, but they do not cure the cold. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on the other hand does not suppress the cough, but relieves it by removing from the throat and lungs the mucus which obstructed the breathing and allaying the irritation and tickling in the throat. It also opens the secretions and eftectu- ally and permanently cures the cold as we'll as the cough.

 We. of Imperial Valley, need a county over here soon. This cannot be secured without the legislature passes an en- abeling act frst-which we shall pro- ceed to try to get. Keep your eye on the parties who get the best rakeof be- cause of things as they are, and see if they don't show their hand as the strongest in opposition. You must not look too close lest you will be led to be- lieve that the hand has already been used.
 In the local fight for the government ownership of the water system, we have a good example of how the capitalist, the man who imagines himself cap- talist, and the man who is sure he is going to be a capitalist right away, all look closely after each others interest; they don't want government owner ship until the sentiment becomes so strong tfat they see it inevitable. Then of course they would not SO be impoite as to longer be opposed The next thing is to begin at once to shout in favor of it, devote all their energies to securing it, in the hopes that they will be pressed to the front to consummate the deal, when in that position they can use the power given them to transfer their graft from one item to another and the appropriating of the product of the workers in the Valley will go on, and then if there is anyone unkind enough to oppose their fastening in their graft anew, he must be held up before the public as opposed to government owner ship.
 These farmers who are toiling on, day and night, do they stand together and swing their power as their interests seem to demand? Quite the contrary. They usually get about equally divided and then proceed to swing at each other, neutralizing each others power, and leaving the power of their exploiter the only power in evidence.
 Until such time as the working peo- pie awaken to their interest enough to see that they in common-all of them have nothing to lose hut their chains. That their fellows poverty cannot measure their own wealth and that it is no longer possible for a man born to poverty over to become wealthy, they will in common have to suffer. FRANK A. MAREK.
