BILE wound in his abdomen and pene-
trating the intestines. The unfortu-

the apartments of A. L. Grubb and
made as comfortable as possible,
while medical aid was summoned from
Forman. In less than one hour Drs.
Bradley and Marckelein arrived and
dressed the wound, finding it to be a
very serious one, but assured all that
it would not prove fatal. The patient
is getting along nicely at this writing,
and his many anxious friends wish for
his speedy recovery.

The climax of the journey is, of

NEIGHBoRHOOD NEWS.

Dawson Leader: Tuesday evening,
about o'clock VIM. Green, who lives
southwest of town, came into Warn
er's store. Mr.. Green was thirsty,
and walked to the back end of the
store to get drink. A large key of
formaldehyde was sitting on. a box
there, and he proceeded to take a
couple of swallows. The kegz was
labelled in several places, but he evil
IDENTIFY did not see, or else did not
heed the signs. Several persons were
in the store at the time, and Mr..
Green's actions attracted their atten-
ton, for he could not speak, and he
was hurried to Coulteuss drug store
and emetics given him. This prompt
action undoubtedly saved his life. He
was able to leave for home the same
evening. 1t is thought no serious re-
suits will occur.
Dawson Leader: Saturday after
noon the team of D. w. Scott, Kidder
county's horse dealer, ran away,
throwing Mr.. Scott out of the buggy
and breaking one of his legs little
below the knee. DR.. Pryse was sent
for and he Immediately went to the
aid Of the unfortunate gentleman. 1t
will probably be several weeks be-
fore Mr.. Scott will be able to be

NO HOPEFORJ. A. MCCALL
HIS FAMILY TOLD TO BE PRE-
PARED FOR END SOON.

LAKEWOOD. n. J.. February 17-Physi-
clans of John a. Mccall the former presi-
dent of the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, announced today that almost all hope
for his recovery has been abandoned. Mr..
Mccall was much weaker today than at any
previous time during his illness. this condi-
ton being due largely to the fact that for
several days he has been unable to take
only small quantities of liquid nourish-
ment.
The members of his family have been told
to be prepared for the end very soon.
Mr.. Mccall grew weaker this afternoon
and the end appeared to be very near. Rev.
Mathew Taylor. pastor OF the R. c. Church
Of the Blessed Sacrament in New York
city, which Mr. McCall's family attends.
was summoned to go at once to the pa
TENTS bedside. Members of the family
gathered in rooms adjoining the sick
chamber.
1t has been definitely determined that
Mr.. Mccall is suffering from cirrhosis OF
the liver, an incurable malady. The ply
sicians, however, no longer have to deal
with the mental depression which has been
a feature of the case.

national law would be an adequate rem
edy against INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
and dealers in adulterated products, and
it was urged that the public, especially the
women of the country, make themselves
acquainted with the nature of the goods
they buy, and that they purchase nothing
but the purest goods.
The resolutions were introduced by Paul
Pierce, superintendent OF the government 8
exhibit at the show, who was made chair
man of the meeting.

whom were women attended the meeting.

Proceedings were begun today in the Dis

DRAFTING DEM
COMPLETE SECRECY MAINTAIN
ED BY MINERS COMMITTEE.

NEW YORK. February 1.-THE anthra-
cite. mine workers committee of seven. en-
gagged in drafting the demands TO be made
of the mine operators met again today at
the Ashland House and resumed their task.
They expect TO remain in session through
out the day. They continue to maintain
complete secrecy on every phase OF the
work. declining to state even when they ex-
.pect to conclude their draft Of their de-
mands and meet the committee of the oper-
ators. -s's--fa-''~
!, The eight-hour day question for outside
men, is thought to be the main feature de-
laying the work. The miners committee, 1t
Is understood, Is agreed that It Is useless
to try to force the operators to employ only
union men. and this demand probably Will
not be pressed.
1t is also feared that the demand for an
eight-hoeI, day for 1aborers other than min
ers (who form a large part OF the union)
win be met by a fiat refusal, while the
scale committee is hard pressed by the
mine workers to secure this concession from
the opera tors.
