MINISTER FINDS HIS BROTHER.
Rev. G. II. Weltner and Henry Welt
ner Will Hold Reunion.
columbia State, Dec. 3.)

In month or so Rev. G. e. Welt
ner, pastor Of st. Luke's Lutheran
church, Olympia village, Will have
as a visitor his brother, Henry Welt
ner, whom he has not until recently
heard Of since 1870. A romance
arises out Of the coming meeting Of
the two brothers, brought about by a
newspaper article written by son
other.
Henry Weltner, aged, then, about
16 years, left Germany in 1868 and
came to America. In 1870, longing
for his native land and his loved
ones, he paid them O flying visit. A
week or so later he left Germany
again for this country, and up to six
months ago had never been seen or
heard from.
In the meantime Rev. G. Il. Welt
ner had come to this country, locat-
ing in New York, thence moving to
Augusta in 1893 and to Columbia in
1906. He married in New York. His
only son, one Of f1ve children, has
since located in Atlanta. and through
work there in connection with the
prisons Of the State of Georgia has
won much public commentator and
space in the public press.
A special newspaper article on the
views Of Philip Weltner in regard to
the prisoners in the Georgia prisons
was recently given widespread circu-
lation. 1t happened that copy fell
into the hands OF one Otto Weltner
Of Carr county, Texas, who became
Interested in 1t because he agreed
with the opinions advanced therein
! and because the name Weltner meant
much to him.
! This Otto. Weltner, as it turned
out, proved to be the only son OF
Henry Weltner, long lost, and bro
ther Of Rev. G. q. Weltner, of this
city Communication has been The
means establishing the Identities
And when Rev. G. e. Weltner re-
! ceives his brother in a few weeks the
, occasion will be very happy one.

WONDERS OF MODERN SURGERY.
Man Gets New Arm from Sleeps
Leg-Broken Vertcbrae Wired.

.
"A recent dispatch from New York
city says:
At the Harlem Hospital there is a
patient who has q new arm made
from sleeps leg. This sounds re-
markable, even IN this age of medi-
cal marvels. 1t Is one Of the Won
ders performed before delegates Of
the Clinical Congress, in session
here. The operation was performed
by DR.. Walter Ambrickoner.
Just why sleeps leg was chosen
for substitution in the place Of de-
cayed bone In the mans arm may
not be clear to the layman, but 1t is
to the surgeons. The leg bone Of q
sheep, they say, has the right knit
ting tissues and hexibility, and It's
formation lends itself we'll to re-
placement in the human arm.
The leg was amputated from the
sheep early in the morning, remain
ed In solution twenty hours after
being scraped, and was carefully
treated before being ready to be-
come part Of the human frame.
Every particle Of the decayed bone
In the patients arm was carefully
cut away leaving a gap into which
the sleeps bone was dovetailed,
then fastened with sterilized wire
nails.
The feshy portion of the arm,
which was sliced open, will be kept
so for two or three days, until there
Is no doubt OF the bones knitting
properly. Then the slit will be sew
ed up and in a couple of weeks the
patient will have an arm as good as
new.
There was exhibited at the Harlem
Hospital most remarkable case of
surgery. The patient was woman
who had fallen four floors down a
circular stairway and crushed her
face beyond all recognition, fractur-
ing many bones. Dr.. J. H. Kauffer,
{ a surgeon-dentist, reset the broken
bones and wired the jaws together,
and to-day the patient hasn't blem-
ish on her face.
DR.. Kauffer, who Is consulting
surgeon at the hospital, also gave q
demonstration of wiring broken jaw
bones. He exhibited one patient
who had just broken his jaw, but
could eat without any trouble what
ever.

pital surgeon, performed a rare ope-
ration-the only one Of it's kind at
