Miss Kingsnorth was led to the couch
though asleep. When she was posed
the scene was one that eclipsed the
picture, famed in the medical world,
entitled, THE Medical Students
Dream"
Leaning over the face of Miss
Kingsnorth a cadaver was placed, it's
hands outstretched, it's eyes peering
into hers. Another was at her feet,
the lifeless hand clasping her toes
Beside her, skeleton was stretched
All around the couch were poised ca
davers, some kneeling, some reclining
on the couch. Above were placed hui
man heads, all contributing to a
scene of horror of which Miss Kings
north had never dreamed
Asleep with the dead" was the set
ting. Miss Kingsnorth was far from
asleep, but her eyes were blindfolded
and she could not see the company
that had been thrust upon her.
NOW keep your eyes shut when I
take off the handkerchief" the man
said to her, as the photographer pre-
pared to take the picture. The hand
kerchief was removed and Carson took
one flashlight picture.
Then he tried another.
AS he did so the young woman's
eyes opened Staring into her face
she saw the figure of dead man. At
her feet she saw another. All
around were the seeming specters
She uttered a terrified scream and
fell back. She rallied before the
scenario could be removed
"Oh, let me out, let me out" she
screamed, struggling to free herself.
AS rapidly as possible they removed
the cadavers and Miss Kingsnorth
rushed frantically around and around
the room, screaming at the top of her
voice.
Efforts to restrain her were futile
and she finally fell exhausted. DR..
Wilcox was summoned. When the
latter reached the laboratory the
woman was in dead faint, from
which she did not rally for hours.

1t has been stated that a pro-
ject is on foot looking to the
building of an electric line from
Miami to Galena, via. Baxter
Springs. We wish the rumor
was true, but unfortunately it is
not. Some enterprising citizens
of Miami (and they have several
of that kind there) are planning
to build a line from that town
four miles north out to the mines
of the Miami camp. Of course,
it is only a matter of a few
months until a line will be built
from Miami to Galena, coming
by the way of Baxter, but that
time has not yet arrived. The
necessary population, or rather
the amount of population re-
quired by the floaters of bonds
for such propositions, is on and
along the proposed line, but as
the money market is tight ard
probably will be for some time it
is not believed by conservative
people that the line can be financ-
ed at this time. The mines of
the Baxter Springs and Miami
camps are among the best if not
the very best in the entire lead
and zinc district, and the time is
close at hand when these mines
will be connected up with the
mines of the older camps.
