The preliminary hearing of Cash
Parker, charged with assault with in
tent to commit murder, in which the
complaining witness was Mrs Moliie
Stansbury, was held Saturday after
noon before Justice Ditzen and at the
conclusion of the evidence, the prison
er was bound over to the grand jury
and his bond placed at $1,000. Par
ker assaulted Mrs. Stansbury last
Thursday afternoon at Simon Yanns
Mississippi hotel in Rockingham town
ship by beating her over the head
with a rock tied within a handker-
chief. The evidence of the witnesses
showed that Parker had repeatedly
threatened to kill Mrs. Stansbury. the
cook at the hotel. AS a motive it was
shown that Parker had formerly paid
some attention to her but of late has
been rejected and thrown down.

CONSERVATIVES ENJOY LIFE
OUT OF DOORS AT OTTAWA
No Discomfort in Sleeping in Tents
During the Coolest Weather
of Winter.

All preconceived ideas of living in
tents, with the mercury anywhere
from zero to 30 degrees below, have
been put to naught by the experiments
at the Ottawa tent colony. Even for a
person in robust health it would seem
like a fairy tale TO say that sleeping
under canvas with a minimum degree
of temperature of 2S degrees below
zero, without a fire of some sort to
keep them warm, was enjoyable. But
for one afflicted with consumption it
would be contended that it was impOs-
sible for a person to endure even
through one night.
Not only one. but the entire colony
of 2S, some of them delicate women,
have enjoyed living, especially sleep
ing. in the tents of the Ottawa colony,
even during the coolest nights of the
past winter. Before retiring, oil stoves
were lighted for a short time to force
change of the atmosphere in the
tents. and then the fires were extin-
guished. The colonists retired and
slept sweetly and comfortably, while
the balance of mankind shivered around
CRATES, radiators or stoves, endeavoring
to keep from freezing.
This is no fairy tale nor dream, but
fact. The colonists enjoy their lives
and from preference keep to the tents,
although not obliged 10 do so.

HIGH GRADE BICYCLES
WILL COST A LITTLE MORE
New improvements More in Demand
This Year Than in the
Past.

Such days as we have been having
lately turn the thoughts of the cyclist
TO his wheel which has been Idle since
last fall. Bicycle repair shops are
beginning to feel the rush of business.
1t appears that there will be no radi-
cal changes in the makeup OF 1905
bikes" First-class wheels will be
more expensive this year than last,
however. More spring forks will APP
pear during 1905 than heretofore as
they are becoming popular through
out the country. Several new styles
Of spring forks recently invented are
on the market and bid for favor.
Another new wrinkle which is at
tracing the attention of wheelmen is
the double gear contrivance which
has just been introduced. BY its use
the wheelman is able to change the
gear of his wheel while riding by
manipulating a string connected with
the handle bars. Thus when a hill is
approached the gear may be dimin-
ished and the hill may be assembled
without much effort. The contrivance
appears to be very simple as it is
merely a small part of the regular
coaster hub. Local dealers will place
them on the market if a demand is
made

Unique Operation.

Miss Alice Hartman, a well-known
young Davenport lady, has the right
to hope that her left hand will be
saved by n delicate and unique opera
ton, from the layman's point of view
at least. that was performed Saturday
at Mercy hospital. A year or so ago
Miss Hartman dropped some carbolic
acid on her hand. and gangrene fol-
lowed the burn. The affected region
gradually extended, and an attempt at
skin grating failed, the gangrenous
tissue preventing a successful graft
So on Saturday a flap of skin was
raised from her abdomen, the hand
inserted under it and fastened. If the
operation is successful as is hoped
the raised flap of skin will adhere and
become a part of the hand, and when
that result is obtained the hand will
be cut away from the abdomen and
the wound left there will be healed
without any conditions resisting the
natural progress of healing as has
been the case with the hand
