GIVEN A new BRAIN
Delicate Organ Is Grated Into
Mans Skull.
Dr.. Harry Cushing, Noted Specialist,
Performs Marvellous Operation Sue
cessfuIIy at Baltimore Hospital
Patient Is Recovering.

Baltimore, Md.-An operation that
In the history of science has never
had parallel, either in delicacy or in
skill, was performed the other day
for the second time in the Johns Hop
kins hospital by DR.. Harvey Gushing,
the world-renowned brain specialist,
and the patient, as result, Is on the
road to recovery. 1t is believed the
operation, which until month ago
was thought impossible by the best
authorities on brain disorders, will
prove a success.
The patient, William Buckner of
Cincinnati, came to Baltimore Novem-
ber 23, suffering with a peculiar af-
fection of the brain. For weeks be-
fore his arrival he had been in a state
of semi-coma, except at intervals.
He was placed under the care of DR..
Gushing. His case was puzzling one,
and after number Of X-ray examina-
tions, during which photographs of the
brain were taken, DR.. Gushing discov-
cred that portion of the brain had
decayed and frayed tissues were caus-
ing the healthy section gradually to be-
come affected.
DR.. Cushing's conception was this:
; To procure the brain of another pa
tient as soon after death as possible
and to transplant a portion of it into
the skull of Buckner. The brain had
ito be healthy and from as young a
person as possible. The transplanta'
tion of the dead brain and the procur-
ing of it were two widely different
things, however, and this was the diff
|fculty confronting the physician,
when one of his colleagues casually
mentioned that a child had been born
dead in one Of the wards.
|; Here was the opportunity. DR.. Cush.
ing hurried to the ward and extract
led the brain from the dead child be-
fore the body was cold. Meanwhile
,Buckner had been prepared for the or
deal.
Then in view of about score of
professors and Students DR.. Gushing
performed his greatest operation.

ner's skull and with great care re.
moved the entire brain, which was laid
on a piece of linen beside the head,
. and could clearly be seen to qufver
as each pulsation of the patients heart
was noted The diseased portion was
then severed from the minor brain and
while DR.. Gushing was severing the
diseased section another surgeon was
transplanting the infants brain.
The major brain was left untouched
After the transportation the member
WAS restored to it's former position
and the section of the skull which had
been cut out also was replaced.
Buckner stood the operation ex
ceedingly we'll, and it was latel
thought that he was we'll enough te
leave the institution. With his wife
: at his side he was removed to the home

grave and he was sent back to the hos

Bungling and Expensive.

It is going to be no small chore to
get out the ballots for the primary
election. And it will be expensive.
The names must be rotated, and the
republican ballot will be over three
feet in length. Then there is the
democratic ballot, almost as long as
the republican ballot, the prohibition
ballot, the public ownership ballot,
the non-partisan ballot and the wo-
mems ballot. The state ballot should
have been printed by the state. as it
could have been done at far less ex-
pense. AS it is the IS different coun-
ties Of the state will each have to
print the state ballots. The second
choice proviso adds greatly to the
expense. The law was fearfully
bungled as far as printing the ballots
is concerned. The primary election
will cost the people of the state
$500. 600.

Crown Loses to Zimmerman.

Before one of the largest and Ger.

rooters that ever gathered on their
home grounds, Crown met defeat in
closely fought ball game on Sunday
last. 1t was genuine batting con-
test throughout and the Zimmerman
sluggers managed to outclass the
Grown team in this respect, as is evi.
denced by the final score of 9 to 1(
in favor of Zimmerman.
Ray McKenney performed on the
mound for Crown but was relieved
in the ninth inning by Henry Beck,
who showed signs of having been at
one timeea famous twirler.' In fact
it is we'll known that the beginning
of Henry's baseball career antedates
that of Sam Shaw. Murph Angst
man was on the receiving end for
Crown and did his usual good work
behind the bat. Chas. Walker and
Jay Smith were the official umpires
and their decisions. were rendered
with complete fairness to both
teams.

Free Admittance to State Fair.

Children under II years of age will
be admitted free of charge to the
fair on Monday, September 2, the
opening day, and veterans of the
civil war may enter free on any day
of the week.
The free admission of children on
holiday, such as Labor day, is an
innovation at the fair, but it is open
to any child in Minnesota, when &C.
companied by parent or guardian. It
was formerly the custom to admit
children free during the forenoon
Saturday., but that was abolished
several years ago.
Civil war veterans must wear their
&. A. R. or regimental badges to
obtain free admission. General L.

Proper Way to Build a Campfire In

tiers of the sticks. Across these two
lay two more, as if you were starting
cob house. If necessary drive stakes
into the ground to keep the sticks in
place.
For the next story of the cob house
use only one stick and place that on
the side on which you are to be when
the fire is burning. These five sticks
may be green. Dry wood makes bet
ter fire, but it needs rebuilding sooner.
Roof over the cob house with any
kind Of dry wood. The harder the rain
the more there will have to be if this
roof is to shed the water. Each stick
OF the roof should rest on the back log
and on the last-the fifth-stick of the
cob house and be kept in place by the
side sticks
Fill the inside Of the house with
k1ndlings and set fire to them. The
roof will burn on the under side, where
the heat of the fire keeps it dry. AS
each stick burns through it falls into
the fire that fills the interior of the
cob house. The camper watches the
fire and cooks through the opening
between the fore stick and the top
stick that supports the roof He also
feeds brands and small kindlings
through this opening, but puts the
large sticks on the roof.
It is surprising to see in how hard
a rain this kind Of fire will burn

THE HOME TEAM WINS
Princeton Boys Go Against Long Sid
ing Fence Busters and Take
Them Bite the Dust.
Zimmerman's Bunch of Elastic Legs
Will Try Issues With Prince
ton Nine Next Sunday.

In game featured by heavy hit
ting by both sides, the rejuvenated
Princetonians threw and tied the
Long Siding fence busters at the fair
grounds last Sunday. Heavy hitting
was the general orders of uhe day-it
seemed to be right in the atmos-
phere. The Princeton club swingers
fattened their batting averages to
county fair sizes on the offerings of
Leander, the Long Siding speed mer-
chant. In fact the fusillade of hits
got so numerous that he retired in
favor of Larson, left-handed finger,
who got away with it for an inning
or two with his deceptive port wheel
delivery, but when the novelty of
the left-hand f1inging had worn off
a trif1e, the Princeton heavies start
ed planting few of their choice Of
ferings in the outer gardens where
the fielders weren't. Long Siding
also did some fancy long distance
hitting and Leander, getting some
what peeyed at his inability to
pitch, demonstrated that he was
some ball player at that when he
lambasted one away through the
woven wire fence in right field and
trotted around the bases amid the
plaudits of the Long Siding rooters.
This was the longest hit of the game,
although there we're singles galore,
and doubles were so numerous that
they went unnoticed, even Skahen
and Doane pulling off one apiece.
Joe Porter did the pitching for the
locals and, owing to the heavy hit
ting of his team mates, had no trou-
BILE in taking it easy through the
nine long innings in the sWeltering
heat. Leander started for Long Sid
ing but was suffering from sore
arm, and finally retired in favor of
Larson, who got away with it in bet
ter shape than his predecessor.
Long Siding opened auspiciously by
scoring two runs in the opening
frame on one hit and bunch of in
field errors. Princeton came right
back at them in their half of the
first and took a two-run lead by scor-
ing four runs. After this round
Princeton kept comfortable lead
and the final result of the game was
in little doubt after the first inning,
although the visitors started several
batting rallies. The lead of
the local athletes was too large, how
ever, and the game finally ended,
to II.

NOTES..

Heinie Plaas and Lloyd Mallette
were the yell masters for the bleach
ers and grandstand, respectively, and
did excellent work for Long Siding.
Our old friend, "Skinny" Mallette,
showed up in the Princeton regi-
mentals and gave fancy exhibition
of how the shortstop position should,
or rather, should not, be played.
Between Porter and Skahen the
Princeton battery got Joe's ''spitter"
breaking in great shape-Jay Berg
is willing to swear that one of the
choice ones broke i" bout a foot.'
Jay Berg handled the Indicator
and got away with it in big-]eague
style and had only one bad case of
misjudgment charged up against
him. This was when he called
brother Wallie out on an attempted
steal Of third base-when the runner
had one leg hooked into the cushion
before the baseman got the ball on
him at all. Jay called him out, how
ever, but after the game explained
that he knew the runner was safe.
alright, but he just wanted to show
the crowd that this brotherly love
stuff couldn't interfere with his
sound Judgment when umpiring.
The fast Zimmerman team will be
the offering at the fair grounds next
Sunday. This team has been play
ing good ball this season, having met
and defeated some of the fastest
teams in it's territory, and will come
to Princeton with the avowed pur-
pose of twisting the Princeton
tigers tail into double bow knot.
On the other hand the Princeton
athletes have got their machine in
fairly good working order, and allow
as how they have something up their
sleeves for their down-river brethren.
From a disinterested viewpoint it
looks like a battle royal with the
chances about even, and we advise
our readers to be on hand Sunday to
witness the melee.
