Issues Letter to Second District
Democrats Stating Refusal
to Be Candidate
STOPS TALK OF NOMINATION
Hope of the Democrats That He Might
Be Persuaded to Make the Race
Against Dawson is Dissipated-Text
of His Letter to Democrats of the
District.

Special to Times Republican.
Iowa City, Aug 16.--All talk about
Judge w. j. Wade being candidate
for congress was set at rest yester-
day when Wade issued signed state
ment to the democrats of the district
setting forth his determination not
to accept nomination. Judge WADE
has from time to time made the state
ment, in Interviews. that he would not
consider nomination, but the demo-
Gratis of the district have believed
they could force him to accept the
nomination. 1t is not likely, however.
in view of Wade's letter that any fur
Their attempt will be made to change
his attitude. Among republicans 1T is
believed Wade was the only demo-
crat who stood a show to defeat Con-
gresham Dawson. Following is text
of Wade's letter:
To the Democrats of the Second
Congressional District:
In view of what / have already re-
peatedly said it does not seem neces-
sary that l should make further dec
laration in regard to my candidacy for
congress this year, and yet the demo-
Gratis of this district have an impor-
tant duty to perform within short
time; they are called upon to select a
candidate for congress who Will re-
deem the district on election day. The
Importance Of this duty renders 1t inn
perative that there should be no mis-
understanding as to my position. AS
have repeatedly said, l am not can
dhdate and cannot accept the nomina-
ton. The reason for my position it is
not necessary to state further than
that interests which l represent, de-
mand all my attention, not only this
fall but during the next couple OF
years I do not wish the democrats of
this district to feel that this is selfish
ness upon my part-it is in fact
duty which | cannot consistently ig-
nore ! know that there will be dem
ocrats who feel that under the cir
cumstances owe it to the party to be
a candidate this year, but II they
knew the obligations which rest upon
me and which guides my action, they
would concur in my judgment and
conclusion. We have a number OF
men in this district worthy of the
nomination who can be elected Let
the democrats use their best judg-
ment in the choice Of a candidate and
I have no fear of the results. You viii
find me fighting as hard In the ranks
as ever did as candidate, and 1
will be with you rejoicing in the VIC
tory which will crown our efforts on
the sixth day of November.
M. j. WADE.

DENIES mPEEK-A-Boo" BILL.
Congressman Hale Annoyed by Re-
ports of CONTEMPLATED LEGISLATION.

Congressman Hale Annoyed by Re-
ports of Contemplated Legislation.
Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. Is - AS a
result. of the storm of protests from
all parts of the country over reports
that he would introduce a bill in the
next congress prohibiting women from
wearing peek-a boo shirt waists ana
regulating the wearing of corsets, Ma
than w. Hale, congressman from the
Second Tennessee district, denies he
will offer such legislation.Hed declares he
never dreamed of it and knows of Ito
authority given congress to regulate
the thickness or thinness of wearing
apparel.
Mr.. Hale thinks some joker wrote
him the original letter, recommending
that he take such action. This letter
was widely published and women edi-
tors began to ridicule the congressman
for proposing any such measure.
Admirers of the "peek-a-boo" from
coast to coast, are sending Mr.. Hale
protests against the peek-a- boo bill, as
they call it, and some of them say
some harsh things about a. man who
would attempt to dictate to women
their manner of dress.
A number of Knoxville women en-
dorse the peek boo shirt waist, and
1t may figure as campaign issue in
Mr. Hale's district.

RARE SURGICAL OPERATION.
Bone of Dogs Leg Successfully Insert
ed in Bows Shin.

Detroit Mich, Aug. 15.--An opera
ton which has aroused the interest OF
medical men all over the city was per-
formed in Harper hospital recently by
DIR. H. o. Walker. IA portion of the
fibula or lower side calf bone, of a
boy of IL was removed and replaced
.the corresponding portion Of the
skeleton of a young dog. The inserted
portion has Joined the healthy section
of the boys fibula, and it is all now
growing as one piece.
Danny Buck is the son of wealthy
Lansing furniture man. The boy has
suffered from babyhood from a ten
dency to tuberculosis.
The boy lost the use of one of his
legs, and was taken to Harper Hospi-
tai, where Dr. H. O. Walker, DR.. Will
lam Seymour, Dr. Frank B.-Allison and
other staff doctors of the hospital were
called into consultation. They were
satisfied that some form of nechrosis
or death of the bone had set in. The
hoy was taken to the operating room
and young dog, healthy in every part,
was brought ill., The child and the
dog were given an anaesthetic at the
same time.
While the child's bone was discov-
cred by the sharp instruments of the
surgeons the dogs right hind leg was
also opened, and while only the mid
die necrosed portion of the boys fib-
ula was carefully sawed away the
ffbula of the dogs leg was entirely re-
moved.
Boy is Improving.
A portion exactly fitting into the
remaining healthy portions of the boys
bone was taken from the fibula of the
animal. The piece was fitted into the
place left by the removed portion of
bone. Then the flesh of the leg was
brought around it as nature had franz
ed it before necrosis had set in.
AS the operation was finished by the
surgeons the dog that had made it all
possible was allowed to die painlessly
by continued doses of chloroform.
The boys leg was bound in a plaster
cast and it seems to be improving
steadily. There is no discharge from
the wound and there is every prospect
of complete success in the operation
Danny Buck will probably grow to
manhood with the bone of dog as
part of his frame.
