about $4,000, or $40 per foot.

This is one of the strongest
convictions | have, after dealing
with appendicitis in all its forms
for 16 years and having lost
three of my immediate relations
from the disease in the time. We
do not know what the function
of the appendix is, but we do
know that people can live in good
health without it, and after it
is once diseased its function is
destroyed. The best way to
prevent this disease is to eat and
drink properly. Avoid stimuli

cool boiled water every day. If

drink a glass of water every

formation as to Its Cause
and Cure.
To the Editor.

- NA~ A~oA~OAs
Appendicitis is such a common
disease that the public ought to
know somethingabout it.EPeople
living far away from medical
help, or those who not want to
call in doctors ought to know
what to do when this disease
first make its appearance with
pains and tenderness in the right
side, usually accompanied with
nausea and vomiting. The pa
tient should be put to bed and kept
perfectly quiet and the stomach
kept entirely empty for "a hours
After this absolutely nothing
but n little water must be al
lowed the patient for about one
week. Give no physic during
this. Some of the best authori-
ties on the subject claim that out
of every 100 cases treated as
above also adding washing out
Of the stomach to stop severe
vomiting, that so will recover
and 20 will die.
But no one is wise enough to
tell which ones of the 100 will be
among the unfortunate 20.
Out of every 100 cases operated
in the FIRST 2 + hours Of the dis
ease, there will be about 95
recoveries.
Quite a numbers Of those who
get over one attach never have
another;but if the second attach

comes on in most cases it will be
followed by the third and fourth
and so on until the appendix
ruptures, When this ha ppens
one OF the gravest and most ter
rlble situations faces the patient,
and one Of the difficult problems
in surgery is before the surgeon.
The appendix may rupture at
the first attack or not until one
or more of the attacks have fol-
lowed the initial one.
As soon as rupture takes place
one OF two thing happens; Eth

from the ruptured appendix IS

second, the escaping material is
at once scattered widely among
the intestines and spreads all
through the abdominal cavity,
proving fatal in so many eases
no matter what is done. The
removal of the appendix is one
OF the safest and simplest of
operations if done in the first "a
hours Of the disease. In view of
this well know fact the wisest

There are two defined veins OF
coal, each being FIVE feet thick at
the outcropping, and the coal is
said to be superior to that of the
Rock Springs and Kemmerer
mine. 1t sells readily for So a
ton at the mines, and $S a ton
at Oakley. But it would not

making for an electric road from
Twin Falls that will be built
this year in time for the fall
trade, when the coal can be sold
in the Minidoka and Twin Falls
region for $4 to Sc a ton.
Only one company is mining
coal at present. This is Sam
Worthington & company who
have a five and a half foot vein

being wider and carrying better
coal than at the surface. They
extract and sell 10 tons a day.

are a great number OF the class

for an opening he may consider

Meantime one of the other boys,
possibly not SO well gifted by ma
ture, but upon the other hand not
so cursed by conceit, has been
plodding along, carefully master

wages; and at about the time the
smart one has been branded as a
worthless loafer. the plodder has
reached the maximum wage po-

Considerable excitement was
caused in Oakley on Monday
evening Messrs l.. ]. Robinson
and James Worthington bringing
into town a handcuffed prisoner
who an wered to a
nicely the d scrip i 0 n
of the notorious Simpkins,
whom they had captured up the
creek early that morning. 1t
happened in this wise
On Saturday last Mr. Robinson
was looking up stock south of
town and took dinner at the
Emery ranch. AT his side sat a
stranger whose action excited
suspicious and who resembled
very closely the description that
Mr. Robinson has at his office of
the outlaw On returning home
Saturday evening he made
fu + t h comparisons and
concluded that it was indeed the
fugitive, and that he could make
money faster by capturing the
thousand dollar reward, than he
couldby looking after Uncle Sans
mail matters, SO early Monday
morning III company with James
Worthington they set upon the
trail, which they had but little
difficulty in following and in ove
taking their man early on Mon
day morning. They brought
their prisoner to town and made
further comparison to the des-
cription Of the fugitive In height,
color Of hair, chest measure,
build, weight and i'll almost
every particular there was almost
perfect correspondence. Moreover
his own testimony seemed to
show that his life and manner of
living have been almost identical
with that of Simpkins.
But the consistency and APP
parent frankness caused in
vestigators to doubt culpability
and it was not long before his
statements were corroborated
by those who have seen him ear
lier during the year, Mr. Jones,
for instance, recognized him as
being an individual that has
recently worked on the Miner
dam.
To our reporter he gave his
name as M. r. Higgins ma
tive of Illinois having been born
in Woodford county and his
occupation that of laborer, who
has knocked about the country all
his life and who has been in the
west for more than twenty years.
He expressed himself as being
willing to be tried before any
jury, but seemed very much afraid
Of the doctors tests, as according

Local Weather Record

The record for this week be-
ginning Saturday night, will
show one of the greatest snow
falls on the Plains ever witness
ed by man during the month Of
November. Snow fell constant
ly for almost two days and nights.
Just how deep it would have
been on the level is hard to say
as the northeast wind which
accompanied it came with such
force as to carry it nearly every
where. The drift was almost
binding and travel was practi-
cally at a stand-still Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday and not
very pleasant on Wednesday.
In some places the snow was
drifted up to ten feet high and it
was common sight to see 1t on a
level with outhouses and fences.
The News estimates the fall at
one foot.
This storm was bad on exposed
stock and particularly hard on
those in transit going to north
ern markets and not at all good
for those being held close in"
for shipment.
The good side of this snow
storm will be shown in the new
life it will bestow on sown wheat
and also the fine season it will
leave in the ground.
Wednesday and Thursday we
had quiet, sunny weather and
the snow melted considerably.
Amarillo gives the official snow
fall at 1873 inches.

Public School Notes.

very small. The trustees decid-
ed it best to have no school till
next Monday, as there was so
much snow and the streets would
be so bad. We could have had
school all the week. as all the
teachers were ready for work.
but in view of the fact that it
would be impossible for many of
the pupils who live at a distance
to get to the building it was
thought that the work would be
in better shape if no effort was
made to teach this week. There
are still great drifts of snow in
the yard where the pupils would
be forced to play. We hope that
no one will complain seriously
about the delay, the time will be
made up in pretty weather.
The loss of the week at this time
has forced us to give up the
Thanksgiving program that had
been arranged for the various
rooms. All the grades were do
ing some work for the occasion.
The teachers have all been busy
during the rest getting up the
work for the County Institute
and for the Panhandle Teachers
Association. a recent law re-
quires all teachers to attend the
County Institutes at least five
days each year. The County
Judges are required to call the
Institutes and the teachers must
attend.
The division of our society
known as the X. c. Society gave
a very interesting program last
Friday afternoon. Good interest
was shown, and the effort made
showed that careful preparation
had been made. A number of
the selections were choice and all
were h g h | y entertaining.
Misses Alice Pyeatt and Katie
Gatewood were visitors at the
meeting of the society on that
date.
Some of the grades are begin
ming TO draw maps now. Miss
Brandon has number of the
maps in her room. The other
grades are also doing some work
along that line and will do more.
Mrs. Thompson's room has
been arranged for her busy
work, and the pupils will begin
it as soon as they return to
school.
During this week some Of the
teachers have been kept busy
answering the inquiries over the
phone about when school would
begin again. 1t was pleasing to
see the interest manifested by
the pupils in regard to the work.
The conduct Of most of the
pupils has been very satisfactory
to all the teachers. There has
been no serious trouble as all the
