FROG LEAPS AND
CROAKS IN WOMAN'S
STOMACH FOR YEAR
Animal Pumped Out After
Lacerating and Almost
Choking Mrs. King.

A live frog that crawled and clawed
and croaked lived for nearly year in
the stomach of Mrs. L. ". King, col
ored, of Browning Place, Deanwood.
After clawing away at the lining of
the woman's stomach until 1t was raw
with pain, almost strangling her as II
climbed into her throat, and fairly re-
ducing her to a living skeleton, 1t was
finally extricated last Saturday by ply
slcians OF the Emergency Hospital by
means OF a large pump.
Swallowed As Tadpole.
The frog Is now preserved in alcohol
IL Is weak, colorless wrinkled. shape
less specimen which bears a faint re-
semblance to the normal frog. Its legs
are long and scrawny and thin as tooth
picks. 1t measures, all told, about sew
en- ipches.
Just as 1t was breaking out of the
egg, the tadpole was swallowed by Mrs
King In we'll water last August. Weeks
passed before the woman realized that
there was some foreign living animal
in her stomach. She consulted doctors,
but they laughed at her.
Last spring the frog, now reaching to
It's fun growth, began to climb into her
throat and nearly suffocated her. 1t
clawed away at the membrane until
she several times tainted with pain.
Still the doctors. when she told them of
her fears. laughed.
Heard 1t Croak.
Two months ago, Mrs. King declares,
| the frog began to croak. She distinctly
heard 1t many times. and her relatives
bear her out. That determined her to
leave the physicians of Deanwood, d.
G., severely alone and consult ''city
| doctors"
She did 40. She went IN Emergencv
Hospital last week, and on Saturday v
morning the frog was pumped out of It's
hiding place.
Tho Frog, It Died.
The frog lived ten minutes in a tub
of water. 1t croaked and sang just
| like any regular frog" Then II died
| According to physicians, this is the
| first time on record that any animal OF
| the proportions of a frog has ever lived
in a human stomach, at least for the
period of eleven months 1t is a most
| remarkable case.

r. T. Cranes Estate

CHICAGO, July 4.-The estate Of

Company Reduces Telegraph
Rates.

J.. R. McDermott. manager OF the
local branch of the Westren Union
office. announces that. beginning with
July l. Western Union telegraph rates,
affecting something like 1.5O0 and 2, 600
points in Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois,
West Virginia and Ohio. would be re-
duced from forty and thirty cents for
ten-word messages and three cents for
each additional word, to thirty cents
for ten words and two cents for each
additional word.
According to MIR. McDermott the de-
crease in rates has been made in order
to popularize the telegraph message.
The reductions affect points having
the forty and thirty-five cent rates.
The cut also includes night messages
that have the same rate.
The officials of the Western Union
believe that lower rates will induce
the people to take advantage of COM
municating with their friends and rela-
tives within convenient space OF
time.

President J. w. Bacon, of the Paris
Base Ball Club, yesterday afternoon
rendered his resignation to the stock
holders and directors of the Organiza-
ton, as head of the club, at a meeting
held at the court house. The direc-
tors will get together at the earliest
possible date to select the successor
to Mr.. Bacon, who lays down the
reins of the affair after plotting 1T
successfully for the past three sea-
sons.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of testing the sentiment in
regard to continuing in the Blue
Grass League this season, or whether
it was advisable to continue through
the season, in face of the debt which
is overhanging the club. While the
meeting was not largely attended
those present were UNANIMOUSLY Op-
posed to laying down at this stage,
and an effort will be made in the
dext few days to wipe out the indebt-
edness.
In the past few days the commit
tee which has been soliciting funds
his raised an amount of $500, and
with renewed efforts hope to be able
to have an amount Sufficient to put
the club in the clear.
President Bacon presided at the
meeting, and Mr.. Joe Warden was
elected to succeed MIR. T. E. Moore,
as director, and Mr.. Bacon was
chosen as a member of the board,
which will meet in few days to Sc
lect president.
Plans were discussed to boost the
attendance at the game, and it was
decided to tender to the ladies free
admission to the park during the
month of July. There can be no
doubt that with a team of the same
material that Paris now has there
will be a great deal of interest mani
tested il the game.
