ONE OF HIS ARMS.
John Lindscott of Rock River, one
of the pioneers of this section is at
the county hospital preparing to I'M
dergo operation tomorrow for the
amputation of his left arm at the
shoulder. Mr.. Lindscott is suffering
from a malady unknown to local ply
sicians and one thai is puzzling them
to a considerable extent. Four days
ago Mr.. Lindscott fell and injured
his elbow. He did not consider the
hurt of any consequence until the
next day, when the arm began to turn
black and lose all feeling. When he
came to town today Drs. McCollum
and Stevens found that the member
from the elbow to the hand vas en-
tirely dead, without feeling and with
out any semblance Of life. The hand
is whitening and shrinking as in death
and the affection is extending upward.
Grave fears are entertained that Mr..
Lindscott, who Is past middle age. will
not survive the shock.

Lodge Made Chairman.
Chicago, Ill, June 17.--At 1:22 the
report OF the committee on permanent
organization, naming Lodge as per
manent chairman of the convention.
was adopted unanimously. Mr.. Lodge
said in part:
Address Of Permanent Chairman.
Gentlemen of the Convention
thank you most sincerely for the great
honor you have done me in choosing
me to preside over your deliberations,
for it is a great honor to be the pre-
siding officer of the republican ma
tional convention. I al conceive of
conventions-I have indeed heard of
conventions where the honor Of such
a post as that now occupied by me,
is dubious. and where, If excitement Is
present, pleasure Is conspicuous by its
absence. But to be the presiding Of
ficer of a republican convention is ev-
er a high distinction to which no man
can be insensible. Gentlemen of the
convention, l again thank you.
Hopes and Intentions.
l shall not delay or detain you with
many words. Your resolutions will
set forth the principles Of the party
and declare the policies upon which
we shall ask for the support Of the
people Of the United States. With
fullness and with e%loquence your tenn
porary chairman has already reviewed
the history Of the party, has given you
account of what has been done, and
has set forth what we hope and mean
to do. MY duty is merely to aid you,
50 far as l can. in the orderly and
prompt transaction of the business
which has brought us together.
To. Name Next President.
That business il momentous-n0th-
ing less than to name here the two
men who, speaking with the simple
|ity of truth, will be the next president
and vice president OF the United
States. In order to win for them, and
for our party, IN assured IS we'll As
|a merstsd victory, se must defeat our
whose ~excaust0n from pow
or is desired by the sonptry. and de-
served by them.
Met Problems Of Day.
We ask for the confidence and sup
port OF the American people because
we have met the problems Of the day
and have tried patiently to solve
them. To appeal for votes and for
the power they confer because we up
hold the presidents policies and shall
continue to sustain them. To make
our appeal with confidence because
we have a well-defined policy and are
not. like our opponents, fumbling in
the dark to find some opinion on
something.
support the Courts.
We believe in the maintenance of
law and order and in the support Of
the courts in all their rights and dig
nifty. We believe in equal rights for
all men and are opposed to special
privileges for any man, or any class
of men, high or low. rich or poor. We,
who established the gold standard,
are pledged to the cause Of sound
finance.
Protection to American Labor.
We stand for protection to American
industry and American labor, and we
will resist all the assaults Of free
trade under whatever name 1t comes
disguised. We will see to the de
tense of the country. We mean to
have a navy worthy Of the American
