medical science. Despite the fnct mat
the needle gradually worked itself up
through her arm and body to the neck,
where II was found, an abscess formed
on Miss Shields hand which was no
serious that her hand at one time was
swollen to three times Its natural size.
The accident happened In the early
part Of June. Miss Shields was rub.

washboard In a tub. Suddenly she felt
piercing pain and dropped the wash.
Ing. crying. II have run a needle into

The wound bled very little, but while
Miss Shields was OH her way to doc.

hand commenced to swell. When the
doctor prObed for the needle he could

snys. that she had made a mistake
that she had struck her hand with The
needle. but that It was not in her body.
Satisfied with the explanation. she
returned home, but her arm and hand
continued to swell. Three other doc.
tors probed for the needle, failed to nnd
It and finally when the abscess on her
hand developed to serious proportions
advised In favor Of amputation.
For ten weeks the abscess continued.
Finally, one day last week. Miss Shields
felt severe pain In the left side Of her
neck. She went to DIR. McCreary and
told him that she felt prlcking sensa.

talllc body in her neck.
DR.. McCreary, who was aware Of the
story Of the needle, made an examina.
ton and found that there was some for.

surface. Knowing that many cases
have occurred Of metallic substances
travelling through the body, he told the
housekeeper that the pain which was
troubling her was probably caused ny

Our democratic brethren held their first meeting of the campaign at the court house last Saturday evening. Hon w. P. Geary of Winslow was the main speaker of the evening. His oratory was all that could be desired, but the trend of his talk against Ralph Cameron did not create any enthusiasm. When he mentioned Roosevelt's name there was applause. The au- dience listened, but they knew that he was good talker working on bad job.
 Thomas Flynn spoke for about an hour on the national issues, and each candidate on the ticket made a short talk for himself.
