SURGEONS KNIFE
CURES IMBECILE CHILD
Piece Of Thyroid Gland Planted in
Liver Makes Normal Child.

Leipzig, Germany, April 10.-A re-
markable operation has just been per-
formed on an imbecile child by Prof
Erwin Payr, director of the surgical
clinic attached to the Leipzig Univer-
sity, with great success. The pro-
fessor planted a piece of the thyroid
gland taken from a healthy child born
of healthy mother in the liver of au
imbecile child, who Immediately af-
terward began to improve in intelli-

lneSe results are frequently dt-
tributed to intensive methods of cult
walton" says Mr.. Palmer, but to a
greater degree they are due to the
fact that Europe long ago realized
the ruinous results of the single crop
policy and by the adoption of a wise
system of rotation has increased the
yield of all it's crops while at the same
time preserving the fertility of its
soil in undiminished volume. While
intensive methods can be introduced
here only gradually, it would be pos
sible for American farmers, without
and considerable added effort, to adopt
a plan of crop rotation that would
enormously increase the yield of their

Killed by Accidental Shot.

St. George, Feb. 2.-P. G. John
ston, Jr., one of the most prominent
citizens of this county, accidentally
shot and killed himself while out
hunting this morning about i've,
miles from town. He was accompa-
MED on his bird hunt by Cal. Whet-
sell, of Reevesville, who was only a
few yards away when Mr.. Johnston
in some way stumbled and fell, caus-
ing the gun to be discharged, the
whole load of shot entering his head
and causing death almost instantly.
In the loss of Mr.. Johnston, Dor
chester county has lost one of her
best citizens. He served his county
as clerk of court for IL years and
refused to offer for reelection at the
request and solicitation of his numer-
GUS friends in order to retire to pri-
vate life, where he has since run
successfully very large farm.
Mr.. Johnston was 49 years old and
is survived by his father, P. G. John
ston, Sr., who is the present clerk
of court and who succeeded his son
to that Office.

Gives up Husband for Job.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-Mrs. Ruby
Brown, of Chicago Heights, whose
ambition to have lone good time
led her to run up bill of $1O2 in
nine days at the Hotel La Sale, has
arranged to work out the bill as
parlor maid. 1t will take her five
months to liquidate, though she will
receive board and lodging.
"Well," she said, '1'm going to

a Job as a parlor maid in the La
Sale hotel. Ben has told me that if

course I'm going to take the job. I'm

around. l had been bossed so much

Former Fireman Wholesale Slayer

Hartford, Conn.,, Jan. 30.-After
indulging in a wild outbreak at COL
linsville, to-day, during which he
shot and perhaps fatally wounded his
wife, attempted to shoot his sister
in-law, set fire to their home, and
held off a posse until the house was
destroyed, John Kenefic, a former To-
cal fireman, is prisoner here to-
night. He t &c finally to end his
own life, but had exhausted his last
bullet when he snapped the revolver
against his forehead.
Kenefic has been separated from
his wife for some time. To-day he
went to the home of Arthur John
son, his father-in-law, in Collinsville,
to see her. After saying that he knew
he was "queer" and that he did not
blame her for not living with him,
the man suddenly drew a revolver
and pointed at the baby. His sister,
in-law grabbed the child and fed
from the room, followed by bullet
that struck the doorway. He then
threatened his mother-in-law, who
escaped by rear door, and later
turned on his wife, who was on her
knees, begging him not to shoot her
mother.
Kenefc forced his wife into cor
ner of the room and fired twice at
her, both shots taking effect in the
neck and arm.
He then set the house afire, and
taking the baby from the place it had
been hidden, went to the door. Hold
ing the child before him as a shield,
he made his way to tree from be-
hind which he exchanged 40 or more
shots with posse. After attempting
to shoot himself, Kenedc surrender

Many Things Happen.

Orangeburg is a great county for
running a newspaper in; so many
things happen down there. Last
week, for instance, two negro men
struck a horse that young white
lady was driving; two lads of prom
inent' families burned down fine
schoolhouse; white man was COM
mitted to jail for breaking into
store; white men in Branchville
shot up the town and went into
the high school and wrecked the
piano., a white man was arrested
charged with burning another white
mans house and then died suddenly,
supposed from taking poison.
Not content with all these happen
ings, numbers of white people down
there want to reestablish the dispen-
sary.-Newberry Observer.

HELD FOR DEATH OF GIRL.
Both Took Poison, but He Recover
ed, Says Accused Man.

Westminster, Md, Feb. lin
vestigation of the death of Lulu Air
ing, a young woman of Bruceville,
resulted in the arrest to-day of Ira
Bohn, a young married man who
lives ten miles from Union Bridge.
A coroner's jury charged Bohn
with having caused the girls death
by means of a drug. He was COM
mitted without bail for the grand
jury.
The evidence, with the exception
of Bohn's own story, is circumstan-
tial. He is % years old and the
girl was 20. He says his wife left
him three years ago and since that
time he has been attentive to Miss
Airing and intended to marry her in
April. He has, however, not been
divorced.
Bohn says the girl was despond-
ent because she could not find en-
ployment and while they were out
driving yesterday both drank guam
tity of laudanum. Bohn says he re-
covered sufficiently from the effects
Of the drug to be able to take the
girl to physicians Office, where she
died last night.

Advance in Cotton Continuing.

New Orleans, Feb. 2.-The ad-
vance in cotton was resumed this
morning as soon as the market open
ed. Initial prices were II to IA
points over yesterdays close. Both
bulls and bears bought heavily in
the early trading and in half an
hours time had forced an advance
Of % to &c points, or quarter OF a
cent a pound. This is 81 a bale
above Wednesdays closing quota
tions.
The advance was caused by a high
er Liverpool market than expected,
coupled with a good demand for
spots there, and a continued good
inquiry at Southern points. The rise
caught many stop loss orders on the
short side. Much fresh buying by
bulls was also apparent. Among the
heaviest buyers, according to the gos-
sip of the day, were Memphis shorts
who accepted heavy losses.
The weather map was favorable
and it was asserted that the present
rise, with roads getting in good con-
dition, means great increase in the
marketing value of the cotton still
held on farms and at ginneries.

Knoxville, Tenn, Feb. Phillip
R. Vow, Of Atlanta, shot and instant
ly killed C. C. Cadle in the lobby OF a
local hotel this afternoon and then
committed suicide. Vow was a son OF

THE TYPIST'S REVENGE.
And then the Head of the Firm
Got Wise.

Not long ago a clear-eyed, brave
young girl who had been reared in
the lap of luxury, and then left sud-
denly penniless by the death of her
father, went out into the world to
make for herself what she called
"career." Six months of instruction
in a business college enabled her to
obtain position in the Office OF ia
bez Onderdonk, a venerable merch-
ant, in whose veins few drops OF
hot blood of youth still contrived to
circulate. Pleased with the young
girls pretty face and winning manner,
the merchant raised her to the post
of confidential secretary, and for an
hour each day she took" dictation
in his private office, says the New
York Herald. Her employers man
ner, always kindly, soon developed
into familiarity of the sort described
as "fatherly," and he fell into the
habit of interspersing his dictation
with phrases of encomium and cheer.
All this was pleasing to the trust
ing young stenographer, who was al
ready beginning to dream Of wealth,
luxury and the other symbols of that
perfect love" that marriage alone
can bestow, when suddenly she learn
ed that Jabez had wife.
All night long she planned and
plotted for revenge, and the next day
this letter was forwarded to house
that had long maintained Intimate
business relations with the firm OF
Jabez Onderdonk & Co.:
Messrs. Marriott, Dalton & Co.,

We trust that when next in our
city you will favor us with a call.
(We'd better have dinner together,
and you can telephone to your moth

We're expecting some new importa-
tions that we should be glad to show

FRONT YARD 80 MILES DEEP.
That's the Size of One on a Texas
Woman's Ranch.

Mrs. Henrietta NJ. Kings front
door used to be 80 miles from her
front gate. The front yard is still
80 miles through it, so now she has
railway station only three miles
from the house.
The statement that Mrs. King is
the largest ranch woman in the
world must be laid to the St. Louis
Post-Dispatch. Maybe she is. But
it doesn't seem quite right to make
such statements about lady with
out backing them up with statistics
concerning her weight and greatest
circumference.
Whether Mrs. King is the largest
ranch woman or not, it is pretty
safe to say that her Texas ranch is
the largest one owned by woman.
It includes about 1,25O,O00 acres and
the value of the land, live stock and
other holdings embraced in the prop
erty is said to be more than $780,
100000.
Not many years ago it was con-
sidered worth less than 81 an
acre, but with the discovery that
practically all of it is suitable for
agricultural purposes and by reason
of the lower Gulf coast region of the
State by the construction of rail-
road down it the land value has
mounted up to about $50 an acre.
The nucleus for the great King
ranch was acquired in 1858 by Capt.
Richard King. AS boy he was
homeless waif on the streets of New
York. He obtained place as cab
in boy upon a steamship and for
many years was a seafaring man.
During the war between the United
States and Mexico he was sent to
Texas as captain of transport that
conveyed soldiers for General Tay-
lor's army and military supplies to
points along the Texas coast.
After the war was ended he en-
gagged in steamboat traffic along the
coast for some years. He saw an
opportunity for the cattle industry
in the South Texas region, which
was then an unfenced and unbroken
wilderness of chaparral. With his
young wife he established typical
frontier home upon the site of the
present ranch headquarters build
ings.
The first structure was COM
bined residence and fortress. 1t was
constructed of stone, and in each
corner was a cannon. The cannons
were used to defend the home from
attacks of Mexican outlaws. The
ancient guns now ornament the beau
tiful lawn that surrounds the mod
ern ranch residence.
About $4,000 calves are branded
each year. More than 800 Mexican
cowboys, fence riders and other en-
ployes live on the ranch and are on
the pay roll.
Mrs. King has always displayed
enterprise in the matter of encourage
ing the development of the region
in which her property is situated. 1t
was largely through her 1iberality in
the matter of land donation that the
railroad which runs through the
ranch for more than 100 miles was
constructed. Her special pride is the
new town of Kingsville, the site of
which was formerly a part of the
property. She created a city school
building at cost of $4,000 and do
mated it to the people of the town.

AGREE WITH MILLERAND
French Like His Denunciation
of Sensational Aviation.
IBy Cable to The Tribune.

Paris, Sept. 2S.--War Minister MIL
lerand's address to the pilots of the
seventy-two aeroplanes forming the
superb aerial fleet Of the French army
is being posted in all the aeroplane sta
lions. The strong denunciation by the
minister of all attempts to gain public
notoriety and recklessly to incur dan
ger for the sake Of creating newspaper
sensations causes the greatest satisfac-
ton throughout the country.
The admirably organized reviews
yesterday showed that the huge aero
plane transport motor wagons were
also movable repair shops provided
with complete supplies of all parts, so
that aeroplanes during a campaign
could not only be repaired, but, in
cases Of emergency, new ones could be
constructed.
Foreign military attaches here con-
slider that France has already made
such tremendous advance over Ger
many and the other nations in the
technical military applications OF
aerial science that ii must take any
other country at least two years to
catch up with her
