tensive plant, covering about a city

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 21.-(Specia
to The Argus.)-"A most remarkable
situation" said Senator Hopkins to me
discussing the complications involving
the appointment of a postmaster at
Rock Island. but | do not think that
Representative Crafts candidate will
even be considered by the postmaster
general
LAS senator would not, for my own
part, suggest a candidate in a republi-
can representatives district. That pa
tronage belongs to him. | might sug-
gest a candidate to the representative,
but l would not go over his head and
endorse a candidate without his know
ledge or cooperation"
There is a feeling on the part of
both Illinois senators that the merit
rule will not govern in either the Rock
Island or Moline appointments. but as
the basis of this belief they will not
talk.
II the merit rule does not govern,
despite the disposition of the
postmaster general to enforce
il, and that official finally yields
to political pressure to waive it. and
displace the incumbents in both Rock
Island and Moline. Congressman Nc
Kinney will be given the opportunity
If he so desires, to name the ap-
pointecs. CLUM.
Out of the tangle that has developed
as the result of the Illinois senators
taking a stand against the reappoint-
ment of Postmaster Thomas under the
merit rule of the department. as applica-
BILE to the cases of both Rock Island
and Moline. the situation at the
present moment might be summed up
something after this fashion:
The Postmaster General Post
master General Cortelyou wants
to- reappoint Postmaster Thorn
as, as evidence of the de-
partments consistent adherence to the
merit rule, but he cannot do so with
out the consent of Senator Cullom
Congressman Acknowledgements
man Mckinney had at last accounts
endorsed no one, but the impression
obtains that his disposition is favor
able TO H. ]. Mcdonald. but he cannot
name him without the consent of Sen
ator Cullom
Senator Cullom.-Senator Cullom is
believed to be favorable TO Dr. G. G.
Craig. but unless the department. in
setting aside its purpose to uphold the
merit rule. also sets aside the prece
dent to permit congressman to select
postmasters, the senator cannot name
his man without the consent of Con-
gresham Mckinney, or through the
latter's failure TO avail himself of his
prerogatives
So that taken in all its various phas-
es. here is the way the matter seems to
stand: Postmaster General Cortelyou

w 1T FEELS TO HAVE A BROKEN NECK
nE1s cHnIENsEN

To break his neck and 20 recover
from the effects of his misfortune was
the remarkable experience of NeIs
Christensen, Perkins avenue and
Twelfth East streets. Christensen does
not sec anything remarkable i'm the ex-
perience. and i'm describing yesterday
his sensations and telling the story de-
clared that his recovery was but the
result OF his stubbornness.
The story of the accident is brief.
Christensen owned a. small farm near
Butlervile. at the mouth OF Big Cot
tonwood canyon, and was engaged in
stocking straw when the accident oc-
CURED that i'm 999 cases out Of 1000 re-
suits in death.
Christensen, who. by tine way. Is the
father of Jack Christy," the pugilist
told the story yesberday as follows:
ut was during the week before last
Christmas when I broke my neck l
had loaded big load OF straw. and just
before dark ! drove up to the stack I
had thrown the first forkfu OF straw
onto the stack and had just prepared
10 take another forkful when I felt my
feet begin to slip
Well. ! guess I'm going TO take a
fan I said to myself. | was a little
afraid that If i had the fork when /
hit the ground / might hurt myself on
II. so I damned the fork into the straw
and let go the handle as l gained speed
I tried to stop but could not do So
Then as ! was falling ! turned in the
air and hit the ground on the back of
my head and shoulders
When / hit the ground I felt badly
shaken. and was dazed for a minute. 1
had fallen almost under the feet Of the
horses and ! was afraid they would

weight on my shoulders, but seemed to
be able almost to walk alone.
IT got Nels In the house and put him
to bed and sent for the doctor. The
doctor was busy. as he had a large
practice IN the country round about,
and was not able to come TO the house
until the next afternoon.
"Nels had an awful headache. and
every time he twisted his neck it hurt
him worse. So he lay quite still.
Patient Was Sandbagged.
when the doctor came he felt of
Nels' neck and said, .'Nels, you have
broken your neck Then T began to
cry, because 1 was sure Nels would
never get well.
THE doctor packed a lot OF sand
bags around my husbands head and
shoulders, and told him not to move il
he did not want to die.
the doctor came nearly every day,
and cautioned Nels to be quiet. This
lasted for two weeks. and Nels got tired
of 1t. Then the doctor took the sand
bags away and put a plaster cast on
Nels' head and neck and shoulders.
The doctor said that any other man
who had broken his neck would have
been kept on the sandbags for another
seek. but that Nels had q remarkable
constitution.
The second day the cast was on nv
husbands head he got up out of bed
and walked out of doors He never
staid in bed after that. He was out
doors nearly all the time when the
weather was good.
we did not tell the doctor about this
for a day or two, but he found out
about it. He said it was all right lust
so Nels did not hurt himself"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1906-09-09

The doctor could not understand
why l had no fever" said Christensen.
Il know why. 1t was because I had
never poisoned my system with liquor
or tobacco. / never tasted either. My
constitution was always good. and /
was never sick, Another thing. 1 was
stubborn, and would not let a broken
neck bother me very much. / would
not let thing like that get the best
OF me. and L would not give up to it.
You take the Scandinavian people,
and they are all hardy. They are tough,
and you cannot hurt them. Look at my
boy, Jack Christy. He gets his ply
sique and constitution from a long race
of people who are hardened to stand
everything.
The only thing that bothers me now
is that l cannot use my right arm free
ly. 1t is partly paralyzed, and ii has
no strength. 1t is getting better. Some
day IT will be all right and as good as
il ever was.

of my neck, where the bone was bro

jabbed me with a knife and / would

Wife Tells What Followed.
Then Mrs. Christensen took up the
thread OF the story.
81 heard Nels shouting and thought
that he must be hurt in some way or
other. 1 looked out toward the barn
and saw his team and the load of straw.
He had been on top of the load a min
ute before and 1 was afraid he had
fallen down.
