WHILE COUGHING CHILD BURSTS
BRONCHIAL TUBES

LittleAddla Plummer, the 5-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. W. Plum
mer of 134 Bell street, in this city, is
at the home of her parents in quite a
serious condition az result of burst
ing one of her broL> -ial tubes yester-
day morning in a fit Of coughing, says
the Reno Gazette. The little one is
suffering considerable pain and her life
is endangered, but the physicians at
tending her have hopes for her recov
cry.
The case Of this little girl is quite
an unusual one. The child while
coughing fearfully burst b chiols
and now instead of the air gong te
the lungs, part of it escapes into the
neck and as result the child's neck
is inflated with air. Her chest is also
inflated and it is with great difficulty
that she breathes at all. She is receiv
ing the best of care and at late hour
this afternoon was reported somewhat
improved.
The physicians say that although
this case happens occasionally, it sci
dom results from coughing spell, but
usually from a wound of some kind.

ccipts for Humboldt county, which
have been sent out by the state. The
receipts will first be signed by the

will be charged up with the 1000 re
ccipts at SO piece. The law does not
permit either the trsasu e. or record
or to stamp their names. but requires
that they be written in with pen and
ink. When the Silver State rcportc:
called Mt Treasurer Hoens.ine y Office
This morning he had INST begun the
long task Of affixing hi autograph TO
the 1000 receipts. In reply to the
query of whether the county paid him
anything extra for signing his name
1000 times the genial official replied
that that duty was only a part of the
honor connected with the Office of
treasurer of Humboldt county.

HIS MIND IS STILL
UNBALANCED
F. w. LOsEE TAKEN BACK TO THE
RAILROAD HOSPITAL
Is Suddenly Struck With Remem-
brance Of Terrible Experience at
Montello and Mind Gives
Way.

1t is the opinion Of doctors attend
ing F. w. Losee, the engineer who was
injured in the wreck at Montello hill,
that he will never fully recover his
normal mental condition and will per
haps for the remainder of his life be a
hopeless mental wreck.
About two weeks ago Losee, though
weak was apparently convalescent
enough to warrant his leaving the hos
pital, and he was allowed to go under
the care of nurse The doctors, how
ever had issued strict orders that the
patient should not be reminded in any
way of the accident which almost cost
him his life. These instructions were
carefully complied with by the nurse
and family who were in attendance up
on Mr.. Losee, but in spite of the most
vigilant precaution to keep him from
rejecting on the moments of agony he
injured at Montello, he could not shake
remembrance of it off his mind. Sun
denly last week he again lost his senses
and in an incoherent manner began to
tell the story of the wreck, repeating
details connected with it over and
over again The patient was immedi-
atcly taken back to the hospital, whert.
he was again placed under the con-
slant attendance of physicians.
There he is again being treated with
ths hope that he may ultimately resev
er sound mental condition, but the doc
tors attending him express themselves
as afraid he may never again become
sound man mentally.

MAY SUSPEND ALL FREIGHT
TRAFFIC

All freight traffic along the division
east of Sparks may be at standsti;l
after today, says the Reno Gazette Of
the 18th. A shortage Of coal has made
it impossible to continue running coal
burning engines on the freight trains
and now the railroad company intends
putting on oil burners on the division
between Sparks and Winnemucca. At
the present time there is but little OF
on hand and until more can be secured
it will be impossible to handle the
freight traffic.
1t was stated at the railroad Offices
this morning that but three cars Of
coal were in sight between Ogden and
Sparks. Last evening four cars Of coal
were received. OF this amount one
car was given over to the people of
Sparks. smother was sent to Virginia;
the remaining two were quickly used
up by the railroad. The three cars of
coal now on the division may not reach
Sparks at all, and even in event they
do, there would only be enough to give
few hours relief That is why tn
statement was given out that the
freight traffic cannot be handled to.
morrow unless special train of coal
could be rushed in from Ogden. This
is hardly possible.
So great was the scarcity Of coal
yesterday that the railroad had to lay
all its coal-burning switch engines
and borrow an oil burner from the
western division to do the switching
in the Sparks yards.
The employees o. the company, who
have been thought to be favored ir
securing coal, are complaining be
cause they are worse off than mos
people, An instance is shown in the
case Of Chief Dispatcher Delmore, who
last night, when he found himself
without bit Of fuel, packed home a
bill-poster's signboard and broke it up
for frewood.
The railroad has been drived to
most desperate straits and the officials
find the fuel question one of the most
difficult problems to solve they have
had in years. They are too busy trying
to help themselves and the suffering
public to resent the ill-timed com
plants Of many who persist in blaming
the railroad for the present fuel fam
inc.

EXPERIMENTS IN GOVERNMENTS

In saying to his Montreal audience
that free government is the greatest
Of all experiments" President Eliot
could not be understood as meaning
that free government Is the most
doubtful Of all experiments. II is
surely the greatest OF experiments in
government, In the sense that 1t Is
the nobiest and the %grandest: and,
what is quite certain. II Is no more
doubtful than other forms. One might
safely deny that free government Is
an experiment. except In so far as all
governments are experiments. Demo
cracies today are immensely more
successful than ab~solutism. There Is
no possible comparison between Rus
STA and England, or Canada. or the
United States, or France. that could
be regarded as In the least favorable
to the government OF the car. Nor
are the democracies Of the world less
efficient, on the whole, than the o
arches of whatever grade, Judging
all by the civilization they represent.

PRIVATE TALKS or STATESMEN,

Two Of this months magazines
would have been exceptionally inter.
esting to Secretary Seward. had he
lived into our time. He would have
had the pleasure. or more probably
the pain. OF seeing In print some OF
his private conversations during the
civil war pertod-conversations which
could not have been intended by him
for publication ut any time after his
death, however remote.
In Carl Schurz's "reminiscences. run

is quoted as having said p%etulantly to
