.CH|LD'S new MOUTH
SURGICAL TRIUMPH
Flesh Grated From. Abdomen
Forms Lips and Chin.

Baltimore. - After many weeks of
treatment the rebuilding of little
girls chin and the restoration Of her
mouth to normal proportions after they
had been terribly distorted by burns
have been completed ut the Johns Hop
kins hospital here.
The child's clothing had taken fire
while she was playing about gas
stove, and the flesh on her face was
scared to such an extent that when the
wound healed only a small hole was
left where the mouth had been. So
small was the opening that the little
finger could be inserted with difficulty.
Nothing was left Of the chin but the
bone and u covering Of SCARED flesh.
The child's mother offered all the
skin necessary for grating, but the
surgeon decided on another plan.
A large flap Of flesh was cut from the
child's abdomen, one side being left at
made in the arm Of the patient sutti-
GENTLY large to allow the insertion Of
the raised end Of the flesh of the abdo-
men. This was done to establish circu-
lation in the abdominal flesh.
After weeks that part Of the flesh
attached to the abdomen was cut and
the child's arm with the flap Of flesh
growing to it was raised and the part
that formerly had been joined to the
abdomen was joined to the lips and
chin from which the scared flesh had
been cut. For weeks blood flowed
from the child's arm into the bridge of
flesh from the abdomen and then into
the chin and lips.
When circulation had been establish
ed the child's arm was cut from her
chin and allowed to return to its nor
NAL place.
The new flesh was then attached to
the chin. A small hole had been cut in
it to allow the child to, be fed. Later
q mouth was cut in the mass of flesh
and then the chin was rounded out.
When the child was discharged from
the hospital she could eat, talk and
move her jaws as well as any Of her
companions. 1t Is only upon close ex
animation that the new chin can be
discovered.

Major Person has sown a good siz-
ed field of alfalfa on his farm west of
the city. The major says nearly every
Wisconsin farmer grows alfalfa,
which is now foot high and will soon
be ready for the first cutting. There
was time when the farmers Of the
Badger state thot they could not grow
alfalfa. They now make practice of
sowing little of the seed with other
Crops. This inoculates the sail and
makes it easy to get stand. He be-
lieves every North Dakota farmer
should stay everlastingly with this
crop until they succeed in getting a
nice field of it.

CROP MARKET REVIEW
Grains Firmer and Tending Up.
ward-Coffee and Cotton Up.

There was an early tendency downward
in the wheat market last week. based
mainly on weather and crop conditions
which pointed to record-breaking yield.
At times the market gave every appear
ance of being oversold. and slight rallies
occurred. but It was not until the late
trading that the shorts really began to be
careful about selling on the strength OF
good crop prospects alone. When this
feeling became manifest an advance set
in, which, while small at first, gained
steadily until the close Of trading, ana
while final quotations did not reach the
high of the week the market was rela-
lively firm. although narrow. Northwest
ern cash markets were firm and higher
but the local market remained nominal
at 81 II for No. red, which Is 12hc. under
the price quoted year ago. The gov
eminent crop report was factor IN turn
Ing the trend of prices upward. even with
an estimated production OF bi3,6H'VU
bushels, as those figures were much
smaller than some bear traders had been
talking.
Corn also declined early in the week.
but recovered in the late trading on light
deliveries by farmers and disappointing

WALL ST. misunderstood.

The Bachc Review in last weeks
issue has the following in answer TO a
Western correspondent. who blames Wall
street for being pcssmlstic. and thus ad-
vcrsely influencing the country:
we have answered this because we
think these views are widely held
throughout the country. II is not consid-
cred that what IS called wall Street"
which includes the banks and great fnan-
cial interests, are large holders. and in
many Instances. managers. OF the great
corporate institutions. which add so much
bulk 10 the business Of the country. They
are responsible for the success or failure
Of the operations OF these corporations,
and are, consequently. wide awake to all
influences affecting them. When the coun-
try's banking situation takes on the posi-
ton of q large increase in loans. with
small and ill-proportioned Increase in
reserves, or with actual large decreases,
this is a danger signal which, II unheed-
ed would. in time, bring on hazardous ex-
pansion and crisis.
"Supposing that these signals were not
thusiastic optimism. creating the impress
sion that all was well. The disaster 10
follow would be very great In fact, We
have had instances where the market for
stocks was Ia the hands of great specu-
lators for the rise and not controlled by
the real large. solid. financial interests,
whose warnings and pessimisuc opinions
were disregarded. The effect upon the
country has been Just that. OF inducing
unbridled extension and speculation In
business and real estate. The inevitable
result has been panic and disaster
Every influence affecting the iinancia!
situation is carefully weighed. and due
heed is given 70 1t by the great Wall
Street interests II may be true that
they are seliishly looking out for their
own safety but in preserving that they
are benelting hundreds OF thousands OF
stockholders and property holders
through the length and breadth Of tho
land.
But in the mean time the prosperity
brought 10 them by the splendid crop OF
last year and the outlook for another
this year has made the West disregardful
of anything else. They are filed with
independence. The situation of the rail-
roads is nothing to them. They do not
care that while the railroads are doing
the greatest gross business in their his
tory expenses and taxes are overwhelm-
ing and net earnings small. Their only
concern is that fine trains are run and
high class service maintained. How the
stockholders are affected Is immaterial.
How railroad credit is being diminished
is negligible. But this is selfish attl-
tude, which will bring its own punish
ment Even the West cannot flourish
permanently II the great institutions OF
the country are not kept prosperous"

GOOD CURRENT TRADE
Some Hesitation Due to Tariff, Chiefly
in Textiles.

Commercial agencies give good accounts
Of current business and view the situation
more cheerfully than in former weeks. In
spite Of the backwafdness in some lines
due to tariff influence. business on the
whole appears TO be promising. 'Dun's
Review says
In spite OF some cuItailment OF orders
for merchandise affected by pending tariff
changes. the unusually favorable crop
conditions have resulted in a marked in
crease II confidence throughout the west
end South The passage Of the tariff Dill
by the House Of Representatives brings
the end Of this element of uncertainty
measurably nearer. Meanwhile it is
most encouraging fact that reports from
hfty-eight cities show a gain in building
activity for April OF ! per cent as COM
pared with the same month In 1872 a
heavy decrease AZ New York City being
more than Offset By gains elsewhere, par
ticulaTly al Chicago and at most points
in the West and on the Pacific Slope. Pro-
ductiOn Of iron and steel continues to be
close TO caracity. but new demands are
now less insistent. and deliveries are being
nade more promptly. In textile lines,
warmer and more settled weather has
greatly improved the volume Of retail
trade. although merchants are still con-
sentative in placing hilling-in orders.
There is moderate gain in the shoe
trade and, as stocks are generally low,
IL is easier for statesmen TO obtain orders.
There is a somewhat better outlook for
leather, but hides continue easy All
speculative markets are dull and this fact
accounts largely for the decrease In bank
exchanges from last year. which. how
ever is comparatively small, amounting
10 only OF per cent this week. There was
gain OF 1875 per cent, as compared with
