saved Lie Of child.

The Pocatello (Idaho) Times of re-
cent date contains the following OF
local interest, Dr.. Wright having been
a residen. of Laramie. He is now a
surgeon for the Oregon Short Line at
Pocatello:
AFTER lying unconscious for days
with a fractured skull; after facing
death with the calm eyes Of innocent
childhoode Harriet Farley, 9-year-old
niece Of Conductor lack, Burns, has
returned to the bosom OF her family,
alive and~weH. Her recovery after a
delicate surgical operation was a most
remarkable one, and to DR.. WA Wright
is due credit for saving the precious
little life. Little Harriet while climb
ing a steep hill on the west side Of tho
river with some playmates, lost her
balance and rolled to the bottom,
alighting On her head and ~fractnring
her skull. She lay as though dead for
days, until DR.. Wright trepanned her
skull and removed the pressure on her
brain. From that time on her recovery
was rapid.
The little girls father, whose home
is in Kencsha, Wis, was summoned
to her bedside, expecting to arrive in
time for the funeral. He will return
to his home tonight with a heart full
of thangfulness and gratitude.

Ceases to Shine for Bryan

Baltimore, Md. Aug, 15.-The Bal
timore Sun, long influential in the
democracy in Maryland, and which
supported Bryan once and opposed him
once, has come out in favor of William
H. Taft. The Sun, in summarizing its
reasons, editorially says:
. The peop.e of this country are just
beginning to from a period of
industrial, financial and commercial
depression, due primarily and measur.
ably to the methods. rather than the
object in view, of the Roosevelt admin
istration.
THE Big Stick has been tried for
four years, and it has in part resulted
in disaster to labor and capital. Mr..
Bryan has his Big Club and we rank
ly say that the Big Club in Mr..
Bryan's hands would argue no better
for the public veal than the Big Stick
has done"
