NURSE MAKES SACRIFICE.
Skin Taken From Body Is Grated on
Hospital Patient.

VOLGA, S. D., Feb. 14.-Prompted
by an unusual spirit of elf-sacrifice,
Miss Mary Berg. daughter of a promi-
nent resident of Volga, has submitted
to an operation for the removal of
cuticle from her body in order that the
burns of Mrs. Hildus Egeberg, a total
stranger might be healed.
Mrs. Egeberg last September at
tempted to start a fire with kerosene
,, and received serious burns. The burns
were so extensive and so deep that
new skin would not grow, and since
, the accident she has been a patient at
the hospital here. The doctors recent
ly determined that only by a process
of skin grating could the woman's
j wounds be healed.
When this determination became
| known to Miss Berg, a nurse in the
hospital, she volunteered to furnish the
required amount of cuticle. The oper-
alton mas just been successfully per-
| formed and the skin removed from
| Mis- Berg's body has been grated on
the burned portions of Mrs. Egeberg's
body, and the wounds promise to heal
rapidly.

Montana Official Says That Games
Should Be Licensed.
STOP IT IN ALL THE CIGAR STORES
COUNTY ATTORNEY AT BUTTE
| SAYS ATTEMPT TO CLOSE
HOUSES is DISASTROUS.

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. Al am
thoroughly tired of this question of
gambling said County Attorney
Healy yesterday wnen asked what &C
ton he intended to take in regard to
the resumption of open gambling.
'I stand exactly as 1 have done ever
since the anti gambling law went in
to effect. Personally, I believe in open
gambling and the imposition of Ii
cense I do not believe in the hypoc-
risy that exists at present, of clos
ing gambling and driving the gamblers
into secrecy. The condition is far
worse today than it was when all
gambling houses were openly con-
Quoted, when square games were run
in all the gambling houses That paid
a license for that privilege. Driving
and cigar stores has resulted disas-
trously. The gambling dens that ex-
with thieves and thugs, and if those
running the games cannot fleece their
victims in brace games, they take their
money by force.
Gambling cannot be eradicated.
Those who seek games will find them,
and those who wish to run games Will
run them. Licensed open gambling is
far the better of the two evils. The
effort to enforce the anti-gambling
laws has not accomplished its purpose,
but has created a gambling room in
the rear of nearly every saloon and
cigar store in Butte, and even in some
of the large buildings games may be
found by those who seek them"
mo; my policy has not changed
said Mr. Healy when asked if he in
tended to open campaign against the
gamblers. Il am always ready to pros
ecute them if complaint is filed or a
person is produced who will swear to
facts. 1 do not conceive it to be my
duty to act the part of a detective.
In this connection I will say that my
support has been very weak. 1t has
nearly all been left for the county at
torney's office to ferret out gambling"

Possibility of Perfumed Divans.

Those women who adore perfumes
Eay get good suggestion from the
Chinese envoy, Sir Chentung Liang
Cheng, says a correspondent Of the
New York Press. He told friends at a
reception in Washington a few days
ago that in China a perfume Of rare
and delicate sweetness frequently was
placed in the upholstery Of divans and
chairs. 1t fills the apartment with just
a suggestion Of au odor. Sir Chentung
has promised to send some Of the pow
der to Mrs. John W. Foster, wife Of the
former minister to China. Should
Washington approve, perfumed divans
probably will be the next fad.

Hockey Girls Dangerous Neighbors

It is the fashionable pose now among
girls Of the Hub to be experts at ice
hockey, and dire results are expected,
says a correspondent of the New York
Press. One Boston maiden who board
ed a crowded surface car a few days
ago, lightly swinging hockey stick,
carOmed upon a passenger as the car
swung around a corner, and her club
gave him a whack on the head. The
girl was pretty, so he murmured po-
lite, "Oh, it doesn't matter in the
leastw though the blow had caused him
to see stars. A timid little woman
said sadly to her neighbor, with those
chariots Of destruction, tie autos, run
ming at large, it isn't safe to walk,
and now that girls with hockey sticks
are using the cars the only safe place
is up In the trees with the sparrows."

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. IA
Twelve revolutionary leaders have

took charge of the office. The first
plan was to expert the books back
period of six years.
Water Books Are Straight.
In regard to the water department
books the experts, it is said, reported
that they had practically completed the
work of exporting them and that so
far they have been found to be mathe-
matically correct The only fault the
experts have found so far is the sys
tenn employed, although this cannot be
charged against Registrar Mclean, as
the same system is now used that was
employed years ago. The experts will
probably recommend an entire new
system Of bookkeeping. This is what
is generally practiced by experts as
soon as they secure job of exporting
in all cities. They generally have a
system which they have worked out
and by securing a copyright on it no
one but they can put it in force
Business for Blank Book Firms.
When Clark & Buchanan were en-
ployed by the county commissioners
three years ago to expert the books of
the county the first thing they did
was to advise the board that the sys-
tenn of keeping accounts by the officers
was out Of date and they recommended
numerous changes. Some of the
changes were adopted by the commits
sioners, but many of the suggestions
were rejected. Then it came to light
why the experts were so anxious to
have the commissioners make COM
plete change. The new system made
it necessary to purchase a large num-
Der of new books and the throwing
away of the old ones. Had the COM
tions of Clark & Buchanan about
$4,000 would have been paid out to
Portland blank-book firm, with whom
the experts had a contract to print
their specially prepared forms and
books. This would have made busi-
ness for the handbook house and in
cidentally the experts would have re-
ceived a commission for the business
turned in to the handbook firm.
The Seattle experts may not have
my such arrangement, but some of the
councilmen are inclined to believe that
the experts seem over anxious to point
out alleged defects in the manner that
Walla Walla officials keep the accounts
of the city.

NATCHEz RIVER IS
RISING RAPIDLY
HIGHER NOW THAN WAS LAST YEAR
Quarter of a Mile Wide Just Below
Painted Rocks-Has Already
Done Damage.

The people OF Yakima are drink
ing mighty suspicious looking
liquid, whose only claim TO respecta-
bility Is that it comes out OF the
hydrants. The color of the water
is due to the 'riley" condition OF
the river from which it is taken,
and is likely to prevail for some
days.
The Natchez river is said to have
been higher late Tuesday evening
than it has been at any time in the
past six years. The late rains have
been heavier in the mountains than
they were in the valley and they
have fallen on heavy SHOWS, sending
down an unusual quantity of wa
ter. The Natchez is effected more
than the Yakima, and has risen
rapidly within the past two days.
A telephone message to the Herald
ed that the Natchez was more than
a quarter of mile wide just be-
low the painted rocks and that the
river was raising rapidly. At the
point mentioned the river is now
wider than it was at any time last
year.
Yesterday evening the headgate OF
the Natchez Canal company's ditch
was washed out, as a result of which
a great deal of damage may follow,
unless the river soon falls. The
Yakima and Valley railroad in the
vicinity of Rowes Hill is threaten
ed, and will be damaged more or
less if the river continues to raise.
