Extracts from Letter of VIM.
O'Connell, Old Time Resi-
dent Of Lake County.

VIM. O'Connell, an old time resident
OF Lake county, now located at Goose
Lake, Canada, in a letter to The Daily
Leader under date of April 1, has the
following to say of incidents in that
part of the world:
THE weather here at this writing is
still cold and snow in places is jumbled
up in massive piles and no bare grond
to be seen. Hay is in great demand
and stock is suffering for feed. We
all look for spring soon. however.
Temperature was as low as SO degrees
below zero during the winter, but in
the same latitude east. in Manitoba,
it is said thermometers registered 6S
degrees below zero with an average of
six feet of snow.
"A large crop is anticipated here
this season. Farmers are very careful
with their work mere, preparing their
ground excellently and treating their
seed grain with chemicals to avoid
smut. This is an ideal grain country,
but still many of the farmers have
failed financially in their efforts to
make a speciality of wheat raising.
Americans are welcomed here and
Inducements are made to have people
from the other side locate in this Sec
tion. This is shown by courtesies from
government officials, railway employees
and business men, The American is
destined to help shape the destinies of
this country which is likely to become
a sister republic alongside of the United
States.

DOCTORS SUED.
Remarkable Case in which
Sponge was Sewed in
Body of Patient.

Davenport, Ia, April s. Who sewed
the sponge in Johannes Arp's body,
thereby causing his death and the pres
ent suit for $50. 200? is question 70 be
thrashed out in the biggest legal en-
gagement that Scott county has seen
for years. The question comes up when
the case of Annie Arp, administrators
of the estate of Johannes Arp, against
Drs. A. L. HageboecK, J. T. Haller and
J. B. Meynaus is called fer trial today
in the Scott county district court
Johannes Arp was wealthy Sheri-
dan township farmer, living twelve
miles from the city, justice of the
peace and man whose financial re-
sponsibility was rated in six figures.
In August, 1905, he was operated on
by the three physicians named as de-
PENDANTS for appendicitis. Arp recov-
cred from the operation and in the
months that followed did great deal
Of work in his fields. to all appearances
as well as ever But in June, 1906,
some new trouble developed in his alb
dominal cavity and he came to Daven-
port and entered st. Iuke's hospital,
where Drs. Carl and Henry Matthey
operated on him for relief from abscess.
The operation failed to give the ex-
pected relief and he fingered on for sew
era weeks without showing any signs
of improvement. The surgeons were
puzzled and could give no cause for the
batting condition. One day when they
were cleansing and dressing the wound
the physicians discovered a foreign
substance and drew from the wound
surgeons sponge or gauze. 1t meas
ured ten by twelve inches. A few
days later the patient died.
Last November the widow, through
Attorneys Schmidt q Vollmer and
Lane & Waterman. fled damage suit
for $4,000 against DIS. Hagebceck,
Haler and Meyhaus on the ground that
the sponge was left in Johannes Arp's
body when the operation for appendi-
citis was performed in August, 1905,
the defense prepared FOR battle by
retaining Attorneys Ely q Bush, Cook
& Dodge, Waldo Becker, w. A. Foster
and congressman Martin j. Wade.
They will put up the defense that the
sponge was left in Arp's body when
the second operation was performed at
st. Luke's hospital by Drs. Matthey &
Matthey. In support of this defense
they claim that if it had been left in
the body at the time of the first opera
tion it would have been Immediately

opened for the second operation.

of the state, and the attorneys ale like

said that some sensastions will be
sprung during the tlial.

Prince Edward Primary Election.

The county primary election held on
Tuesday last for the nomination Of Of
ficers was in some respects one Of the
most spiri ed held for a number Of
years. Most Of the interest was IN the
contest for the trcasurership. There
were three candidates, all men Of the
highest character and ability 10 max e
good officers They were Major \. r..
Vcnable, Jr., Captain ;. w. Watkins
and Mr.. K. J. Carter The candidates
themselves worked hard for victory,
and friends We'd with each other in
constant effort 10 win votes for his
fayorte candidate. There was little
OF no bitterness in the campaign and
apparently no bad feeling on the part
of the defeated ones. Captain Wat
kins won for the treasurership by "A
plurality Of 6s-his entire vote being
8l8 against 2l5 for Carter. Major Ven
able received an even 90 IN the coun-
ty.
For the senate Judge Mann received
a majority over Wallace Of 81. Little
or no work had been done IN the
county by either Of the senatorial can
didates, and yet the largest vote polled
was for them. Judge Mann received
362 and Mr. Wallace 27l. Below is a
