He exhibited great patience and courage
through it all, always hopeful of the

He was able to attend the Sunday re-

Drs. Young and Blake of our city, and
became SO much better that he was able
to resume school work. He soon fell i'll
again and in December 1904 was taken
to the hospital in Des Moines, where he
remained fourteen weeks, undergoing
four operations at the hands of as many
different surgeons. Since his return
from Des Moines he has held his own

severe attack of grip.
Funeral services were held Saturday

fence the other night. He "set in" on
little quiet game that lasted til the
small hours and finally "cashed in" and
broke for home with a new tangled

during the day. Just as he opened the
door his wife called from the bed room
..What time is it dear?" 30, going on
twelve" he answered. Just then the
clock said "Cuckoo" "Cuckoo" and tel
ling the story himself he said "There l
had to stand and "cuckoo" ten times to
make my word good"

By a new arrangement which went
into effect last Thursday, all of the
passenger conductors and brakemen on
this branch of the Burlington, gave up
their regular run between Charlton and
st. Joe, and are now in pool, first in
first out of st. Joe. The crew on the
early morning train to st. Joe, instead
of making the round trip back to
Charlton will lay over in st. Joe, and
come back on the afternoon train next
day, so that none of them will cover the
the road more than one trip one way
each day. It is reported the crews do
not like the new system, but had to
take it or move their families to st. Joe
from Charlton, and they did not want to
do that.

Master James Hoffman, the little son
of Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Hoffman, injured
his foot last fall and has been suffering
severely with it ever since. Sunday he
was operated upon by Dr.. Layton as
sisted by Drs. Waight, Eiker, Greenman
and Bowman and it was found he was
suffering from necrosis of the bone, and
piece of the diseased bone about an
inch long was removed from his instep.
The operation was entirely successful
and it is thought the little fellow will
now recover rapidly from the injury.
