DOCTORS OPERATION
MAKES BAD BOY GOOD
REMOVES sPLlNTERs OF BONE
FROM BRAIN AND DRAINS
ABScESs.

Philadelphia, Oct ia few months
ago, 12-year-old Christopher Hahn
raided bakers wagons, stole from his
father, ran away from home, caught
rides on trains, broke windows, ter.
rorized the neighborhood where he liv-
ed and ended in the house of deten,
ton, where he was threatened with a
term in reformatory.
But DR.. VIM. f. Baker interviewed
removed a section of the boys skull
which pressed on his brain, took out
two spIinters Of bone drained an alb
scess and inserted a silver plate, and
yesterday Christopher left the hospital.
where the operation was performed.
The skull had been fractured by a
fall from train and two splinters OF
bone were imbedded I'm the brain.
In speaking of his escapades yes
terday the boy said:
Half the time didn't know what
did do, / just felt crazy, and didn't
care for nobody do now, though
Sometimes when think how mean

Potato Shipments.

There are several important potato
shipping points In Todd county. south
east Of Fergus Falls, and two OF them
are Long Prairie and Bonneville. II is
estimated that 1875 cars of potatoes
have been shipped olt of the two vii
lagos thus far during the season. The
dealers in both places report that they
could get higher prices for the pota-
toes IL single varieties instead of
mixed varieties were raised. Dealers
who are buying potatoes in large
quantities called for one variety and
If the potatoes are mixed, they grade
them down. just as grain buyers would
do II a man brought in load of mix
ed durum and bluestem. The best
marketable varieties are said to be the
Early Ohios, Burbanks or Rural New
York potatoes. 1t does not matter
much which variety is raised IL they
are kept separate. The Long Prairie
Leader says that two or three buyers
visited that place when the potatoes
first began coming in and went away
without purchasing because the pota-
toes were so badly mixed, and not up
to the standard size. One OF these
buyers went on to Moorhead and
bought 10, 900 bushels OF Early Ohios
at % cents per bushel. The potatoes
were probably no better than those
raised in Todd county, but they were
all of kind and of good size, and he
could dispose of them to better adj
vantage In the large terminal mar
kets.

he was struck over the head and face
and he charges his partner with the
assault, but he has vanished. Fortu-
nately LuRberg did not have all OF
his wealth in one pocket and his big
gest roll was left intact. When he
has recovered from his beating he will
be allowed to go.

Wheat aosaip.

Chicago, Oct. 19.-wheat: Liver
pool lost So for the day. Some early
covering Of shorts took place on the
good demand from Germany and Hun
gar.t p6t the market was under pres
surt, on railizing, due to heavy offer
ings OF new La Plata wheats and
generally favorable reports on the
growing crop in Argentine. Buda
Pesth was 2h higher, but the rest OF
the continental markets were lower.
Our markets opened steady to frac-
ton lower, and has ruled weak in tone
all day.
Local professionals were the best
buyers on strong spot but 1t begins to
look as though their ranks were thin
ming out somewhat. Advices from
Kansas City indicate freer marketing
by the farmers and all southwestern
markets report lessening demand
from millers and falling off in flour
sales. 1t seems to us that everything
points to decline in prices. Not only
has the advance been considerable
one, but 1t has been on only one basis,
viz, home requirements with every
other condition in the world ignored
The mere filling up OF holes and get-
ting a nominal supply on hand would
scarcely have absorbed so much wheat,
but Indications point to the fact that
great deal of wheat has been bought
by millers in anticipation Of future
requirements and the same conditions
apply in a large measure to the hand
lers Of -four. Wheat is accommodating
rapidly the world over and our pri-
mary markets may before long be call
ed upon to carry their normal supplies
instead Of working along on such mea-
gre stocks as of late.
