NATURE SPARES


1hc stricken Rose From Grief.
what a fortunate provision OF nature

suffering; for how poignant would be its
grief to discover IN the kcight Of IFS

spares the suffering; she Is a ver.table

IS IMPROVED
CONDITION OF JOHN II. MoRRELL
is REPORTED AS SLIGHTLY
BETTER

The condition Of John Fl. Morrell,
who Is In a hospital at New Orleans,
La, suffering from stroke Of paraly.
sis, Is gradually improving, according
to a message received from that city
last evening by T. d. Foster. Mr..
Morrell's condition is' expected to I'M
prove quite rapidly from now on, as
he is being given the very best Of at
tention by the physicians in the hos
pital. Mrs. Morrell and party arrived
In New Orleans this noon.
Paralysis with which Mr.. Morrell
was stricken Monday afternoon is re-
ported to have resulted from embolus,
or in other words from the plugging
up Of blood vessel in the brain. This
source generally speaking does not
have the serious effects Of paralysis
caused by a hemorrhage of the brain.
"It is the general opinion in the
medical profession that a stroke of
paralysis caused by embolus is never
SO severe as that caused by a hemor-
rhage,' said prominent Ottumwa
physician this morning. Experience
has it that when a young man or a
middle aged man is stricken with
paralysis, caused by the former
source, and completely recovers, he is
rarely subject to a second attack, al
though the ailment is a very peculiar
and erratic one" continued the physi
clan. while we have not definite in
formation regarding the recent all
ment Of Mr.. Morrell, fit is as report
ed, he will in all probability recover
and be afflicted with no further trou
BILE due to paralysis"
