Edward Walters. the boy who was
cured by Philadelphia physicians some
time ago and whose complete change from
an incorrigible bad boy to a Sunday
school lad has been so loudly heralded
over the country, has suffered terrible
reversal of form. Walters, who had al
ways been an exemplary child up to the
age Of > years, was severely bruised on
the head at that age and after the acct
dent became the champion bad boy of the
Quaker City. lie was incorrigible and
every effort to restrain his hayward ten
denotes proved in vain until his mother
finally took him to physicians, who as
serted that the evil nature Of the child
was due to the ingrowing Of a portion Of
the skull upon the brain, resulting from
the accident. Accordingly an operation
was performed upon The skull of the child
and tire offending portion Of the skull re
moved. IN immediate change in behavior
was observed and it was hoped that the
child would again be the little angel
Of his early years. These hopes, how
ever were destined TO disappointment,
as during the last TWO weeks renewed
signs Of irritablity have been manifested
and the boy is now. in his tenth year,
nearly as bad as before the operation was
performed upon his skull Il must say
that this case does not surprise me in
the least" said DR. II. III. Edmondson.
You cannot cut through the covering Of
the brain with impunity and the scar
which is left behind Will be quite as dan
gerous as any bone intrusion which nay
have been removed. | do not apprehend
that the boy will be as bad as he was
before, but it is impossible to cure dispo-
Sitions by cutting skulls"

FRUIT CROPS ARE LARGE.
Only Failure Louisiana Strawberries
and Michigan Alberta Peaches.


If present weather conditions continue,
Chicago commission men, who have sent
representatives through the fruit-produc
ing territories, declara the fruit crop this
year will be extraordinarily abundant
With the exception of strawberries in
Louisiana and Alberta peaches IN Mich
igan. fruits of all kinds have had a favor
able winter and the way blooms are COM
ing out gives indications that the harvest
viii be large. Lack Of protection and an
excess of rain caused large percentage
Of the Louisiana Strawberries to be water
soaked and unsatisfactory. but enough
good, sound berries are expected to meet
all requirements until the Mississippi sup
ply arrives and relieves the situation. Al
berta peaches from Michigan Will not be
so plentiful, the crop running short Of
last years by a small margin, but the
States are expected to more than make
up the deficiency. Illinois will exceed in
apples and pears. Apples, which were so
scarce last year that cider mills were clos
ed down and prices ranged higher than
for ten years previous, will be so plentl-
full this season that shippers say they
never will be able to get a sufficient num-
Der of cars to distribute the entire crop.
Southern Illinois will have a very large
crop of peaches. Plums, strawberries and
cherries also promise we'll in the State.
Michigan will have a full crop of straw
berries, apples, pears, plums and cherries.
It is regarded as a certainty that fruits
in general this year will be in abundance
and prices CORRESPONDENCE low.

WILL DECIDE CHURCH UNION.
Final Vote 10 Be Taken at CuInber-
land Presbyterian Assembly.

The General Assembly Of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian Church of the United
States will De held in Decatur. H., on
May II to %. The meeting this year is
of special Importance because the ques-
ton of uniting with the Presbyterian
Church will be brought up for final dis
cussion and decision. It seems now quite
an assured fact that a majority Of senti-
ment in the church is in favor of union.
This question of union has been agitated
IN both the Presbyterian and the Cumber-
land churches for several years. In the
Presbyterian Church there has been prac-
ucally no opposition, bus in the latter
the opposition has been marked and bitter.
At the meeting of the General Assembly
at Fresno, Cal, last year the question of
union was brought up before the church
for the first time and afttr a hard and
close fight was carried. The question
then was to refer the matter TO a joint
committee of the two churches. Now at
this meeting of the church the above
mentioned committee will make its report
and to defeat it will be the last chance
OF the anti-union wing to strike a killing
blow to unionism.

ROUNDUPS ARE GIVEN UP.
Settlement of South Dakota Driving
Out the Big CattIemen.

The action of the Missouri River Stock
Growers Association at its annual meet
ing this year marks the end of the round
up and the range. The business of this
annual meeting always has been to ar
range for the annual roundup work, fix
ing the boundaries of the territory to be
worked by each outfit and the selection
of foremen to look after the work. But
this year about the only business trans
acted was to decide to hold no roundup
for this year. The new settlers have so
closely occupied the territory to be
worked and have dotted it with gardens
and small patches of crop to such an ex-
tent that to attempt to work cattle over
the territory would mean a large amount
of damage and trouble, and as the home
steaders are a far larger number than
the cattlemen the roundup is to be no
more.
