ON SKIN GRATING

Speaking OF skin grafting,'
DR.. Newlove explained to an In
DEPENDENT reporter the other
day: "Do you know that doc
tors can graft a nose to a mans
face easily now, but the best |
ever heard Of comes from one
near White Earth. 1t seems
that few years ago the wife Of
a rancher became terribly badly
scalded, the skin being all off her
back. The rancher lived many
miles away from a doctor and as
he had just killed a sheep that
day, put the skin over the wom-
ans back. The skin was warm
and 4 bn a circulation was unit
ed. When the doctor arrived
three days later, he tried to re.
move the SKIN and found that it
had united tightly to the wom-
ans back. And do you know
they cut seven pounds of wool a
year from that woman's back"

Irritated by the note OF Minister

allies proposal for scheme of prefer
entail payments, by which Great Brit

eight creditor nations 10 per cent OF
the customs of La Guayra and Puerto

structed their representatives in

event that he declines to act as arbi-
traitor, to take this and possibly the en-
tire Venezuelan question to The
Hague for settlement, thereby break

Trouble is Brewing That is Likely to
overshadow Venezuelan Question.
While the Venezuelan affair still has
precedence as the leading foreign
question in London, there is a general
feeling in Fleet street that 1t will
speedily be overshadowed by the Mac
edonian question. A formidable lnsur-
rection against the Turks is expected
in the early spring by nearly all writ
ers who are following the course OF
events in the Balkans. Predictions OF
a similar nature have been made year
after year, but never with equa- conf
dence since the preliminary stage of
the last war between Russia and the
porte. The Turkish government clear
ly expects trouble, and the Russian
and Austrian governments also dread
a movement from Bulgaria which they
cannot control, since they cannot
agree upon joint policy.

Nevada Man Falls Four Hundred Feet
and May Recover.

Charles Karlstern, employed in a
mine at Golconda, Nevada, is in Salt
Lake hospital in a dangerous condition,
as a result of fall of 400 feet in the
mine at which he was employed at
that place. While working at the cage
he lost his balance and fell to the foot
of the shaft, distance of 400 feet. In
the fall the man struck the sides of
the shaft at frequent intervals and was
saved the serious results which would
have otherwise followed. He was un-
conscious when found later by other
employees at the mine, and both legs
were found to be broken. The bones
of the legs were driven far up into the
body. The man may recover, but will
likely be a cripple the rest of his life
as a result of the accident.

~Natnrally, Charlie Stuart was justi-
hed In believing the girl to be the child
Of some Flemish citizen True, she
was not dressed in the usual Dutch
faihion, but her golden tresses and
bile eyes, that shone like twin stars,
mlde him take the fact for granted.
He was, therefore, considerably sur
prsed when, springing to her feet, she
advanced a step or two toward them,
holding out her hands, look of great
JOY Illuminating her face, and in
voice which the echoes of her recent
sobs still haunted, addressed them in
priest English:
Oh, sirs! Heaven has heard M,
payer and sent you to my rescued"
Stuart made up his mind then and
mere, strange as such a proceeding
might be, that there was deeper mys-
tery about the presence of this young
girl in these terrifying surroundings
taan had at first occurred to him.
Many things united to make him be-
lleve this the fact of her not being
ssissed by her party, her manner in
avoiding any reference to the friends
who should be so anxious-yes, then
end there he became convinced that
4tory lay back of it as startling as any
product of an opium smokers dream.
Charlie knew It would be we'll for him
TO divert the girls mind as much as
possible from the horrors she had so
recently been forced to face. Thus as
they walked along, he even grew
somewhat merry. and his object was
accomplished, since the girls temper
airy trembling fit had passed away and
she was now calm enough to ask ques-
lions regarding their opportune pres
ence in the dismal place.
Several times Charlie knew she was
looking at him intently.
He believed that he could guess the
.reason-that she had story to tell, d
story far out of the ordinary run, and
was studying him when she thought
herself unobserved, studying him to
determine whether she dared entrust
him with it's astonishing details

Trouble Between Brazil and Acre As

sumes Serious Aspect.
The Acre dispute between Brazil and
Bolivia is becoming more serious. Dis
patches received in Rio Janeiro from
Manaos, on the Rio Negro, a branch of
the Amazon, says the Brazilian forces
under Colonel Ibanos have captured
Puerto Alonzo, in Acre, where Bolivia
has heretofore maintained a customs
house. The Brazilians captured 300
prisoners and took them to Manaos,
where they were released by the gov
ernor. The correspondence on the sub
ject of Acre published in Rio Janeiro,
consisting of letters exchanged be-
tween the Brazilian foreign minister
to Bolivia, indicates that an offer of
arbitration was made by Brazil to Bo-
livia, but President Pando of the latter
country declared that the only arbi-
tration possible was the marching of
troops to Acre. Brazil, therefore, de-
termined to send strong force of
troops southwark and occupy the dis
puted region, after first notifying
Peru, which also claims a part of Acre.

were still unconscious. The gas in the
tunnel was so heavy that 1t extin-

train. The train was being hauled by
two engines, and the engineers and
tiremen of both were overcome. But
for the heroic work of Abbott, the pas
senger, all on the train would have
been suffocated, it is believed. The
train became stalled through an acct
dent to the air brakes. The gas was
caused by the engines. The tunnel is
nearly two miles long.

broken off all relations with the prin-

had withdrawn from the candidacy for

which he has urged so persistently

of bringing about Mr.. Addicks' with
