BACK WATER RENT.
New York Collects $4,000 From a
Street Car Line.

New York, Dec. 12.-Michael c.
Padden, the city's water register, had
a strenuous day yesterday. The first
thing he did was to collect $4,000
back water rent from the New York
City Railway company. which recent
~ went into the hands of receivers,
the first water bill, it is said, ever col
lected from railway company in New
York. Next he discovered that there
was four-inch service pipe running
from the water mains in Twenty
fourth street into the Fifth Avenue
hotel building. By the help of a meter
attached to this pipe he decided that
the hotel should have been paying &c.
600 a year for water instead of $4,000.
the amount which the city has been
receiving. The hotel has been run
ming for forty-seven years, so Padden
promptly presented a bill for $1S8,000,
which he figures the hotel owes the
city. He has not collected it yet, but
says that with the help of the cor
poration counsel he will collect it.

Here is one instance Of her wonderful
memory quoted from the journals:
"Along the roads there are also some
appearances of old buffalo paths and
some old heads of buffaloes, and as these
animals have wonderful sagacity in the
choice of their routes, the coincidence Of
a buffalo with an Indian road was the
strongest assurance that it wa best. In
the afternoon we passed along the hill
side north of the creek until in the course
of six miles we entered an extensive
level plain. Here the tracks of the In
dams scattered so we could no longer
recognize them, but Sacajawea recog.

Ed Heleeson Has Skin Graft ID on Arm.

An operation of skin grating was
performed on the arm of Ed Hedge
son at Mason City last week to save
that member from amputation, by
taking the skin from the arms of
seven of his fellow workmen. About
two months ago Helgeson was injured
by getting his arm caught in an eleva-
tor at the E. B. Higley cold storage
plant in that city, in which the
muscles of the forearm were forced
from the skin and large part of the
latter torn off. The injury healed in
part. leaving about square foot of
flesh over which no skin would form.
The condition grew worse till it was
made certain that the arm would
have to be amputated or some graft
ing done. Seven of the fellow work
men of Helgeson volunteered to
furnish the skin and from each was
removed piece about double tie
size of a silver dollar. 1t is believed
the operation will be successful and
that the arm will now heal.
