RADIUN SAVES A LIFE.
Remarkable Case in Which Man
Doomed by Tumor Was Cured.


Doomed by TumOr Was Cured.
What physicians pronounce one of
the most remarkable cures through
the agency of radium in the history
of medical science has just been con-
frmed by the examination of a pa
tient who was expected to die six
months ago. when he went to Flower
Hospital with malignant tumor. the
size of child's head, in his abdomen.
The large mass which threatened
his life has disappeared, and the small
remaining knot in its place has lost
its character as tumor and is simply
scar tissue, which has not been re-
moved by the process of absorption.
Drs. William H Dieffenbach and
William Tod Helmuth, who have had
the case in charge, claim for Flower
Hospital the discovery of the method
employed which was the injection
of gelatin impregnated with radium
into the tumor itself after the seat of
the trouble had been reached by open
ing the abdominal cavity. The prac-
tice in the only other similar case on
record, one performed in Europe
some time ago. was to inclOse the ra-
dunn in a glass tube, which was
sewed up in the tumor
Another examination proved that
any operation for the removal of the
mass would prove futile, and as a he
0&E
patient DR.. Dieffenbach proposed that
the tumor be exposed and that radio
active gelatin be injected into the
diseased parts.
The patient was placed under the
influence of an anesthetic and the
gelatin, which had been impregnated
with $10O worth of radium, was in
jected in three places in the tumor.
The inciSions were closed with a
purse-string suture and the abdO-
men was closed.
When the tumOr was disclosed the
surgeons pronounced it a round-cell
sarcoma. most malignant variety of
tumor.
The reaction from the operation
was unusually severe, and at times it
was feared the patient would not rail-
ly but after a few days an increase
of strength was noted. and at the
end of five weeks the patient was so
much improved in general health and
the tumor was so greatly reduced in
size that he was permitted to go to
his home.-New York Herald.

Minot. There was sparse settlement
there at that time. MinOt was a
struggling village, settlers were few
and far between and the outlook was
not especially inviting for any person
except some one like Mcclure, who
was possessed of the gift of proph-
esy. He seemed to foresee the vast
development that was coming, and
which was at that time just begin
ming. He founded the Daily Optic
and ran it for a number of years,
and then lost control of the paper,
and while the country prospered and
grew wonderfully, through tempera-
mental weaknesses and lack of finan-
cial ability, Mcclure failed to profit
by the growth that he had so plainly
foreseen. But he was a pioneer of
the decade of growth that has made
Minot the third city in the state and
has brought about settlement that
has made two counties if Imperial
Ward and will probably produce an
other batch of counties when the peo-
pie can get together on a division.
And the Optic still waves, as to
speak, in the battle for further de-
velopment and greater growth.

Our exhibit at the Corn Exposition
at Omaha appears to be attracting
attention, and while we did not get
the prize for the best ear of corn or
the best bushel of wheat, we came so
near the latter that there was nearly
a deadlock among the judges, and it
may even be that our wheat was bet
ter than the sample that did get the
official award. 1t seems also that
prizes for fine grain and cereals were
literally distributed to North Dakota
exhibitors, and we are maintaining
the generally high standard We set
at expositions. A number of live
North Dakotans are at the exhibit
telling the visitors of the land of
plenty and prosperity and we should
get our share of new settlers from the
North Dakota products so attractive
ly arrayed there.

The people Of Valley City are as
usual up to date, and the improve
ment league has recommended to the
women that they do their shopping
early and to merchants that they
close their business places Christmas
eve, in order that their employees may
enjoy the festival occasion at their
homes or as best they choose. It
might be impracticable at once to
ask the closing. of all business places
on Christmas eve, but the people
themselves can so order things that
the employees may have an hour or
two off on Christmas eve by getting
all their shopping done before that
time. There is no reason why
Christmas shopping should not be

REHEARsEs RANKIN MURDER.
The Reelfoot Nightrider Case Again
Goes to Trial,

The Reelfoot Nightrider Case Again
Goes to Trial.
Union City, Tenn-In all of it,
brutal and bloody details, the story
Of the murder of Capt Quentin Ran
kin, of Trenton, Tenn, at Walnut
Log on Reelfoot Lake, by band of
masked and armed night riders was
retold to a jury in the circuit court
here this week COL R. z. Taylor,
Capt. Rankin's companion on the
night of the murder and whose life
was also sought by the night riders,
was the chief witness for the state in
the prosecution Of Garret Johnson
and Arthur Cloar, alleged leaders OF
the night riders, on an indictment
charging them with the murder of
Capt. Rankin.
Little Of the dramatic intensity
which attached itself to Col. Tay-
lor's evidence in the first trial was
lost in the repetition. Col. Taylor
as in the previous trial, minutely de-
scribed the events which led up to
the crime and then told how Capt.
Rankin was first hanged and then
shot, how he himself escaped by
plunging into the dark waters Of
Bayou Desha, swimming to the far
bank while hall Of bullets spashed
the water around him.

Fears Southwestern Waterway Pro-
ject Will Hurt Port Trade.
New York. k.-Congressmen from
Brooklyn and New York are now
ready and anxious to cooperate with
the Southwest in securing favorable
river, harbor and dock legislation. 1t
is to be matter of give and take.
Certain Improvements are desired
around New York and, more than
all, New York wants to protect its
port trade from going to Baltimore,
New Orleans and Galveston. New
York wants to cooperate with these
three ports, not antagonize them.
It is realized that the port of New
York is in a fair way to suffer addf-
tional trade losses, which will furth-
er reduce it's Importance, and at the
same time minimize the advantages
of the proposed local Improvements
unless the business men of the state
arouse themselves to instant and ag-
gressive action.

Taft's speech to the Rivers and Har-

tions OF the country are engaged in

WILD SCENE WITNESSED.

The Government Figures Placed the
Crop at 1O,O8s, 900 Bales.
New York-The announcement
from Washington on the New York
Cotton Exchange resulted in wild
rise in prices to the highest records
witnessed since the -Sully boom Of
1904.
The estimate Of 10,088,000 bales
was far worse than had been looked
for by the trade, and caused sensa-
tional market. ~. .y.
There was a tremendous rush of
buying orders, which hoisted prices
almost Immediately.
The governments report is sensa.
tionally low. 1t indicates the small
est crop produced since 1908, when
the Sully boom forced prices up by
the end of January to II IL cents,
the highest since the Civil War. Pre-
sent prices are the highest since that
time.

"Defenseless against the hostility

heard.
THE coercion of the United States
will not rebound to the credit Of
that nation, whose motives are ques-
f, toned in all Latin America. The
shooting of Groce and Cannon was

laws OF Nicaragua, which distinctly
authorizes the shooting of individ-
uads commanding rebels. It is dif-
ferent If person is captured dur

The attempt Of Secretary Knox to
establish the inviolability Of Ameri-

military tribunal had passed upon

President ze1aya then recited sev-
eral instance of alleged hostility
against him in the United States,
through paid articles appearing in
American newspapers. In one Of
those instances, he declares he was
endeavoring to raise loan in France
when his enemies persuaded the Unit
cd States to interpose an objection
through the French ambassador at
Washington on the pretext that tho
money sought was intended for the
purchase Of war materials when in
reality 1t was to have been used in
the construction of a railroad.
While / am ready to surrender
the presidency" continued President
Zelaya, II cannot do it precipitately
as 1t would result in uprisings by
several factions, each of which is ca
ger to secure power.
Il am in negotiation with the rev.
to secure their endorse
mont to successor who will be ao-
ceptable to all and have submitted
the name of Jose Madriz, Judge of
the Cartago court
Il hope this will obviate the neces-
sity for American Intervention which
would be intensely distastful to the
whole of Latin America.

On the subject of Bird Day, whic,

the public schools of Louisiana
perintendent Harris has issued ~
folloWing to the teachers .of Louis.
inan: -
Until very recently many birds
thought injurious to fruits and crops
have been ruthlessly slain by farm
/ ers and others because their yalue
to the farmer was not known. It is
now definitely known that even such
birds as hawks and owls are deserv-
ing of protection at the hands of the
farmer and that of the fifty-odd spe-
cies OF hawks and owls in the Unite
States only six are destructive of
game and poultry. All the other spe-
cies destroy millions of grasshoppers
mice, rabbits, rats and other rodents
Injurious to crops.
Bird Day should teach the value
Of the preservation of the game birds.
not only as source of food supply.
but as destroyers of injurious insects
and weeds. 1t would, therefore, be
appropriate to teach the necessity of
game laws, the object and functions
Of the Board of Commissioners for
Protection Of Birds, Game and Fish
and the laws of Louisiana bearing
on these subjects"
