Painless

At the nnunty hospital in Denver
Monday there was performed one Of the
Most remarkable onerntions in the an
mails Of the institution Inocuated
With stovaine, the anesthe.ic which has
but lately come into use, Miss Helen
Sunshipe, of l40 Seventeenth street,
submitted to the amputation OF botn
limbs just below the knee, laughing and
joking with the hospital surgeons while
they cut through her flesh and bones,
sustaining 2 running fire Of conyersa-
tion until the surgery was compl ted.
The patient has for some time been
the victim of an affection Ct double gan
ene in both her feet The disease
gradually affected her legs until it was
seen that severance was necessary to
save her life. As she was weak the
usual anesthetics We're found dangerous
and stovalne was used as a last re-
tort.

At Caldwell

After an Investigation covering two
weeks n prominent Caldwell chicken
fancier has learned the reason he has
been receiving only two or three eggs a
.l.ay from his flock OF sixty hens, and in
eidentally found out som thing about
the inventive capacity Of rats.
One morning he heard a noise in his
chicken house, and quietly making his
way there, he saw two big rats in the
act OF making away with newlv-laid
egg. One OF the rodents was lying fiat
on its back with the esa tightly clutched
in its four paws, while tho other rat was
dragging it along by the tail. The
chicken fancier was so impressed by tho
sight that he watched the rodents for 9
few minvtes, during which time they
carried the egg for twenty yards alors
the fence until they came to hole il
the ground, into which they took tn,
egg. One of the rats became tired Will,
carrying the eggs and changed places
with its fellow.
Caldwell became a closed town onl,
two weeks ago at that.

part. the resolution offered by the car
penters and joiners' union that the
recent resolution adopted against To-
cal option be withdrawn and one sub
stituting the dry" cause, was laid on
the table.
The trouble started when the trades
council went on record as favoring the
cause of the "wets." President John
son, OF the carpenters and joiners. de-
clared that that body would withdraw
from the council unless the resolution
was rescinded and theirs adopted

urer of the Michigan Federation OF

BATTERY DAN" IS DEAD.
Picturesque Police Magistrate Releas-
ed Many Prisoners Of Underworld.

NEW YORK. March 24.-"Battery
DAN Finn is dead from general
breakdown following an attack OF neu-
.asthenia lie enjoyed the reputation
OF being the most lenient magistrate
in the city. discharging many women
OF the streets and plain DRINKS.
He was fisherman and baseball
fan: booster OF New York and It's
government, but knocker of the po-
lice--On old police blotters you will
find entries that tell OF the arrest OF
one Daniel r. Finn for excise viola
tons and for general aggressiveness
with the fists on street corners and on
the old horse cars.
All OF this may or may not have had
to do with the reputation Battery Dan
enjoyed OF being the most lenient or
magistrates when a certain kind OF or
fender was brought before him.
Battery Dan was one OF the last or
the old-time Tammany leaders of Irish
birth. who controlled great sections OF
Manhattan not SO much by brain as

WHITE STAR LINE WINS.
Supreme Court Reverses Finding OF
Lower Court In Damage Suit.

The supreme court has just handed
down an opinion OF interest 10 lhose
maintaining docks for passengers.
About two years ago the White star
line purchased a piece OF property III
the southern portion OF Port Huron
and established a dock at that point
The property purchased was about
two hundred feet In length along the
river, and the dock was located near
the north line. AS a means or access
to the dock, the company built along
the north line gavel roadway for
use both by passengers and vehicles.
The other portion OF the roadway was
unfenced, and In it's natural conditloh.
After the dock was opened, many peo-
pie coming from the south, instead CT
going up to the roadway prepared by
the company, took a short cut dag
onally across the land. About two
months after the dock had been open
ed for business, Mrs. Frank Wood, Oh
Port Huron, taking this short cut from
the south. fell into a depression close
TO the path, about four feet deep. She
brought an action against the company
for damages and was awarded YER
dict OF 5000. This Judgment the su-
preme court reversed. holding that II
was not the duty OF transportation
companies or those maintaining docks
or depots to keep short cuts In repair
or to prevent persons from using them,
and that those choosing so to do as
sumed all risks

CASE is UP TO BIRD.
Auditors Ask Him II They Have Power

LANSING. Mich, March 24.-The
board of auditors have asked Attorney
General Bird II they have authority to
settle the various lawsuits between the
state and the Michigan Central Rail
road Co.
AT the meeting Of the board OF au-
ditors yesterday II was decided to put
the matter up to the attorney general.
and no definite action will be taken
until he renders decision. Both Sec.
rotary OF State Martindale and Land
Commissioner Russell have opposed
the proposition of settling the suits out
OF court. as they claimed that the
board was not vested with SUFFICIENT
power to make such action legal.
Atty Gen. bird and Otto Kirchner,
Of Detroit. who have acted as attorneys
for the state in the litigation with the
railroad companies, have urged that
the board settle the case, and Gov.
Warner has taken a similar stand.
