BIEBER's FRIENDS TO APPEAL.
This Is the Latest Rumor in George
town ColIectOrship Puzzle.

Friends of Sidney Bieber are plan
ming to appeal to the President to re-
frain from dropping him out of the
race for collector of the port OF
Georgetown, according to rumor that
was going the rounds yesterday
They will appeal TO President Taft to
stand by his guns and appoint Mr.
Bieber instead of a Southern negro
politician. They are still hopeful and
believe if they can get the ear OF the
President they can convince him that
the opposition of several antagonistic
Senators is groundless-
Bieber refuses 10 talk about the ap-
pointment. Nothing definite has come
from the summer White House as yet
as to whom President Taft has in mind
for the place and how the rumor
started that a negro would be appoint
ed is still a mystery. though it has not
been denied.

FARRAR Tells OF The
M'CUMbER OPERATION

A personal letter from Secretary
!R. W. Farrar to E. H. Myhra of
Wahpeton, gives the following de-
gone by Senator P. ]. McCumber,
from which he is slowly recovering:
THE trouble was an abscess Of
the kidneys, which broke one day
at the capitol. He was in great
pain, but thought it was from his
stomach, and as there was to be a
vote on the railroad bill that after
noon he stayed at the capitol until
nearly six o'clock. He then went
home and suffered all night and had
a raging fever. The next morning
Mrs. McCumber and I took him 70
the doctor and he gave an examina-
tion and ordered him taken to the
hospital for the operation. Blood
poisoning had set in. which caused
the fever. went to the hospital
and he was feeling better and
thought the operation would not be
necessary and came back to the
capitol, and at 2:30 Mrs. McCumber
called me to go to the hospital, and
when I got there he was in the op-
Grating room. The surgeon told me
that he thought he could reach the
trouble by cutting in from the back,
but after so doing found so much
pus and broken down tissue that
he had to cut in from the front also.
1t was very serious operation,
therefore, as you can See For the
next few days he seemed to be get
tinu m nico1v and uo 1ji mot think
there was any danger, but after six
days had passed ne was suddenly
taken with a chill and his temporal
ture went up to 102 and he had all
the symptoms of many others who
have died from like causes, and We
were all worried. Fortunately, how
ever, no complications have set in,
and we now think the apparent set
back was the shock to his nervous
system"

SMASHING SIDEWALKS.

Some Of the new Sidewalks are BE-
inig gradually smashed to pieces in
PAGES by being driven over by de-
livery wagons The average driver
does not care how much property
he destroys as he does not have to
stand the expense. In many places
posts and boards have been nailed up
to prevent driving across the side
walks. This is more effective In
checking the practice than an ordin-
ance with a ten dollar fine attached
which is never enforced.
