SKIN FOR BURNED GIRL.
Grating Operations Performed ;
West Union Upon Miss liyrne.

West Union, Iowa, Oct. 11.-Dr.
Walsh. of Hawkeye, and DR.. Fox, of
Waucoma. performed an operation of
skin grating upon the body and
limbs of Miss Mary Byrne, living a
short distance from Hawkeye yester-
day which promises to be success
full operation, Notwithstanding the
young lady is much reduced in vital
ity from the excessive use of opiates,
which have necessarily been admin
istered to allay her terrible suffering.
Four weeks ago Miss Byrne was
using a gasoline flatiron which in
some manner ignited her clothing
and she was terribly burned upon
both body and limbs. 1t is asserted
the burning was so severe that the
attending physician, DR.. Walsh, filled
a two quart basin with the removal
of the burned skin.
In the last resort to save the life
of the patient it was deemed advis-
able to resort to the heroic remedy
of skin grating and ten healthy
young men in the neighborhood vol
unteered to donate each the amount
required for the grating, which con-
sisted of strip of flesh one and one
half inches in width and eight inches
in length from each young man. The
young lady did not require an opiate
during the operation, and there is
much hope for a speedy recovery.
The outcome of this operation will
be awaited with much solicitation.

FANCY PRICE FOR APPLES.

of $1.0J Per Bushel.

Council Bluffs, Oct. 1.-THE high
est price ever paid in Iowa for apples
grown here was paid by commission
firm which bought the product of the
orchards of w. S. Keeline, a big
farmer and orchardist of this city.
Mr.. Keeline's orchards are located
near the city, and he received $1.O5
per bushel for the product, orchard
run. This price is considered phen-
omenal. Mr.. Keeline thinks there
will be from 5000 to 1000 bushels
of apples. The apples, under the
terms of the sale, are to be delivered
to the packing tables, where they are
to be packed in boxes in fancy shape.
The Keeline orchard is one of the
best in Iowa and the fruit has pro-
duced under scientific treatment, and
as a result the buyer said he did not
believe there would be per cent of
culls.

FOR THE FARMERS.
Hog Cholera Follows Horse Disease
Near Grant.

Grant, Ia, Oct. 14.-The farmers
in the vicinity of Grant are having
their full quota of trouble and worry
this fall. A few weeks ago the very
much dreaded, mysterious disease
that is attacking the horses of south
west Iowa, as well as Kansas and
Nebraska, made its appearance here
and several farmers lost some of
their valuable horses through the
disease.
Now hog cholera has appeared
among some of the herds of swine.
Frank Mercer, just south of town,
has already lost over fifty head out
of his two splendid herds of thorough
bred Berkshires and Duroc Jerseys.
The local veterinarian, DR.. ID. j.
Chalmers, ordered a quantity of
Serum for vaccination, but was unable
to obtain the antitoxin for a few
days, as the demand far exceeds the
supply.

papers and contents of the safes scat

BULL ENTERS CAFE.
Tears Out Portion of Front of Build

Wesley, Ia, Oct. IA bull in a
china shop was witnessed here this
week. A large bull was driven in
from the country. He made a dash
for the Rath restaurant and went
crashing through one of the big front
windows. Immediately there was an
effort to bounce the intruder, but
when he took notion to go out he
raised his head, shook his horns and
dashed through the window on the
opposite side tearing out much the
larger part of the front of the build
ing. Who is to settle for the damage
has not as yet been determined.

HAS OSSIAN A FIREBUG?
Fire i'm Phelan's Blacksmith Shop is
MysteriousIy Started.

Has Ossian a "Firebug?" That S
the question of the present time.
Tuesday night, about eight o'clock
Arthur Gunderson noticed brilliant
light in the basement of James
Phalen's blacksmith shop, and, see
ing Marshal Boyle, he notified that
gentleman. They proceeded to the
basement and discovered that the
wood wall, on the east side of the
building was on fire. Near the fire
lay gasoline tauk which, in another
moment, would have been ignited,
undoubtedly causing an explosion, re-
sulting in the destruction of five, if
not seven buildings, entailing a loss
that could hardly be afforded by any
of the owners of the property.
The gasoline tank was detached
from Phelan's engine, and placed
near the fire, which to the initiated
looks like incendiarism. That the
fire was the work of firebug there
is not the least doubt.-Ossian Bee.

1--WE are weary little pilgrims
Straying in a world of gloom
Just behind us is the cradle
Just before us is the tomb.
There is nothing much to guide us
Or the proper path mark
AS we toddle on our journey
Little Pilgrims in the dark.
And we jostle and we struggle
In our feeble, futile wrath
Always striving, always reaching
To push others from the path.
And the wrangling and the jangling
OF our peevish voices rise
To the Seraphims that watch us
Through the star holes in the skies
And they say, 1.-THE foolish pilgrim
Watch them as they push and shove
They might have pleasant ramble
If their hearts were full of love.
If they'd help and cheer each other
From the hour that they embark,
But they are only blind and erring
