elect member of their party to the
position. II. w. Gleason is the repub-
lican choice and William Cricket the

Well Known Ball Player Ondergoes
Operation for Appendicitis Last Night
Waterloo, Jan. 9.-Will Pattison the
we'll known base ball player, underwent
an operation for appendicitis at the
Synodical hospital at midnight.
He was in his usual health yester-
day morning. but about noon he was
seized with severe cramps. He sought
medical aid at once, fearing that blood
poisoning had resulted from a cut in
his hand some days ago. A diagnosis
of his case proved that was suffering
from bad case of appendicitis and he
was at once removed to the hospital.
An operation was imperative and was
performed at midnight. The appendix
was discovered to be badly diseased,
and was removed
He recovered nicely from the oper-
alton and is resting as well as could
be expected today. Being of rugged
constitution and vigorous health he
will probably pull thru the ordeal all
right

Just Like Hin.

The Rev. Walter Cotton, author Of
"Ship and Shore" and other books,
gave most forcible illustration of the
character Of an officer on board the
ship to which he was attached as chap
lain. The officer was always meddling
with other peoples business and was
seldom in his own place. Consequently
he was most unpopular with the sail
ors. One Of them. goaded to unusual
irritation, said one day, II do believe
that at the general resurrection the

Not in years have there been so few
applicants for positions as employees
as this year. During the hard times
of 1894 and 1896 the hotels were filled
with applicants for legislative posi-

as the legislators themselves. Since
then they have been growing less each
year till this year there is but one ap-
