can be no doubt: Alfred Hertz and his
orchestra covered themselves with
glory The conductors reading Of the
score and the players exposition of Il

Cedar Rapids, May 19.-There is in
Mercy hospital q man who has been
making it one of the most remarkable
cases of the kind. He is Emil Dvorak,
a well known Johnson county resident,
along the line Of the interurban. Two
weeks ago last Friday Mr.. Dvorak, &C.
companied by another man started
home from the town of Cou Falls.
Their horses had been tied up for
some hours and had become restless.
The men had no more than gotten into
the light buggy when the horses start
ed to run away. 1t was not very long
run One end of the buggy hit a tele-
phone pole and the two passengers
went out head foremost. Dvorak struck
the pole, dislocating his shoulder and
breaking a few ribs. From Cedar Rap
ids Mr.. Murphy was telephoned for and
was on the scene within thirty five
minutes, just striking the outgoing
car The men were cared for in a farm
building, temporarily. The next day
the one man was all right, but the 9TH
.er. Mr.. Dvorak. was still. unconscious.
He was brought to the hospital imme-
diately where every care has been taxi
en- Of him. He is apparently in good
condition in every way except that he
remains unconscious. He takes food
three times a day, light food, and
swallows it when it is fed to him, oc-
casionally showing some interest in the
process, an unconscious interest.
He is believed to have struck the
side Of his head against the telephone
pole, above the ear, but there is no
fracture, so that the doctors are GER
tain there Is no pressure on any part
OF the brain. 1t seems to be simply
case of being stunned. During the past
few days he has shown some slight
signs of irritabilfty and it is believed
that this indicates q return to con-,
seriousness.
Mr. Dvorak is a man Of firm consti-
tuition and there is no doubt as to his
ultimate recovery, the interesting thing
in his case being the long time that 1t
takes for nature to readjust him.

at this season of the year, the rainfall
was heaviest over the southern and
