BACK FROM DEATH.
Asphyxiated Man LifeIess for Several
Hours, Revived by AdrenaIin.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 30.-Dead from
asphyxiation, Edward Scnilling, an
employee of the East Ohio Gas COM
pany was restored to life at Mount
Sinai hospital by the use of adrenalin.
He was asphyxiated at o'clock Friday
night, and was taken three miles to a
rived there.
The house physician, believing the
take a desperate chance, cut the
clothes from the body and with the
aid of nurses, commenced artificial res
piration. Fifteen, twenty, thirty min
utes elapsed and there were no signs of
life; the body was cold, there was no
heart action nor a sign of respiration.
Physicians Go to Work.
Then three physicians gave the body
an injection of adrenalin through an
incision in the arm. One doctor mas
saged the heart, while the other two
continued with artificial respiration.
An hour elapsed before any sign of life
was evident through a faint fuctua-
ton of the heart and an almost unno-
ticeable action of the respiratory mus
cles.
This process was continued for three
hours during which another injection
of adrenalin was given. When natur-
al respiration was set up powerful
stimulants were administered. At noon
Schilling left his bed and walked about
his room. He will return to work
Monday
What the Doctor Says.
DR.. Proper, one of the attending
physicians, said today:
"Schilling was lifeless when he
reached the hospital. 1t was extreme
ly fortunate for him that we were en-
abled to give him proper attention at
the time and We saved him. 1 always
have believed it an impossibility to
bring a man back to life after he is
dead after all life has departed from
his body.
There must have been some life in
Schilling's body when we undertook to
revive him. But there is a question
if there does not exist in the bodies
of persons we call dead atoms of ener-
gy on which new life could be based"

Clearwater Line.
1t was learned from high official
authority that the Northern Pacific
will surely construct the long-talked of
Clearwater valley extension in Mon
tana and Idaho, which will be, in fact,
a line from Missoula, Mont. to Port
land, Or, says dispatch from ST.
Paul.
Engineers of the road have COM
pleted the work of taking the eleva-
lions and surveying. The new line will
begin at Missoula and run southeast
through Lou Lou pass across Bitter
Root mountains and connect with the
existing Northern Pacific lines at or
near Lewiston, Idaho.
Work on the proposed extension
will begin probably in the spring,
though no definite date is named by
the officials of the road.
Its construction will follow the COM
pletion of the same company's line
from Kennewick to Portland. This
Clearwater valley extension has long
been a subject of controversy between
the Northern Pacific and Union Paci-
fic.

EDIE'S MISSION.

"Susie, to-morrow's Thanksgiving
Lower over her sewing dropped the
golden head and tear trembed on her
eyelash as she answered.
Eyes, darling
aren't we going to have Thanksgiv-
ing" continued the child. "a little bit
of Thanksgiving, Susie? How mean
Uncle Ralph is to let you work so
when"
Hush. Edie. you must not talk thus
Uncle Ralph is very kind in letting US
have this cottage rent free, otherwise my
needle would not support MS"
But little Edia could not help thinking
Of the great grim house upon the hill,
and the great grim man who utterly ig-
nored his poor relation. She thought
SO long and so intently about it that Mt
last a daring resolution entered her curly
| head.
"I'll go and see him and tell him all
about it, so | will! I'm not afraid of
him if he is big and grim and cross"
And without pausing to consider the
doubtful undertaking, away she went in
| the direction of the stately mansion dark
and gloomy which was the home of the
misanthropic uncle, who from being one
of the pleasanteSt of young fellows, in
| bygone days, had changed thus sadly.
Rumor said for TWO reasons-because his
betrothed. beautiful Nellie Clyde, had
deserted him for her German music
teacher, and because his petted. idolized
young sister had fallen in love with a
poor clerk and married him.
~ will never forgive you, never" he
had said to her, sternly, mot because
your husband is poor, but because he is
shiftless."
And she had gone proudly, with brave
trust in her young husband-alas, but to
find her brothers words prophetic. The
knowledge broke her heart, and she died,
and was soon followed by her drunken
husband, leaving their two daughters in
bitter poverty.
Edie rang the bell Of the great house
with such violence that it brought the
footnan in great haste to the door.
II have come to see my Uncle Ralph. "
she said, breathessly. II suppose he's
in his study? Oh, you needn't show me
tho way; know it" and she coolly ran
by him up the polished stairway-for
had not her mother told her of every
nook and Granny in the old homer"
At the far end of gloomy room a
ERE glowed sleepily, and gray-haired
man sat in an armchair motionless be-
fore it, Edie crept in softly.
A she neared him she perceived that
his face was very sad and weary looking
Some look upon his face made her think
of her dead mother. and. almost before
she knew it, she had flung both hel
chubby arms about his neck and kissed
his cheek.
