Unusual Was
tie Operation

The removal of a peanut shuck from
the windpipe of Dewey Phillips, Oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Phillips of
Lime Ridge, was most unusual case.
While the youth was eating peanuts he
bit one into two parts and inhaled a
breath at the same time. A piece of
shuck passed into the windpipe, down
to where the trachea divides the first
time and as the object could go no fur
ther came to astop. The young man was
in distress and was brought to Reeds
burg for surgical attention. Drs. Pow
ers and Winslow of Baraboo were cal
ed and the most improved instruments
were brought into play. First an un~
verted U shaped instrument was placed
into the mouth to keep the windpipe
open; it being provided with All electric
light'so that the operation could easily
be seen. Next another instrument about
20 inches long and provided with another
light was passed to where the shuck
had lodged. Then the third instrument
was brought into play, this being like
little scissors with very long handle.
BY dexterously operating these the
shuck was seized and brought up.
Sometimes the particles pass to the
next division of the trachea and then it
is more difficult to remove. Such an
operation as the one performed at
Reedsburg is very rare and is seldom
performed even in the large hospitals.
In case objects are not removed from
the windpipe bronchitis or other disease
usually develops and death results in
the course of two years or more.

RED CROSS LEADER
TELLS Of CARNAGE

Ernest P. Becknell, national direct
or of le American Red Cross society,
has arrived in New York after trip to
Europe on the Tennessee. In an inter
view in New York he said:
"Oficial reports give little definite in
formation of the losses" The truth
is that over the thousands of square
miles already battleswept, there have
been left almost countless thousands of
men helpless from CHASTITY wounds. "
Some have been gathered into trains
by the Red Cross surgeons and nurses
and taken to hospitals in the larger
cities. Into Paris and Berlin thousands
have already been taken and one by one
the hospitals have been filled, public and
private buildings have been utilized for
the wounded, but still the numbers in
crease"
"Some of the wounded were taken
into cottages on the battlefields and the
churches, but still there are thousands
who lie in the trenches and in the fields
suffering from thirst and exposure. -

RETURN SOON
FROM GERMANY

Word has been received from Mr..
and Mrs. E. A. Seifert that they expect
to sail from Europe on October for
home. Attorney James A. Stone and
others who were looking up the records
of his naturalization have about come
to the conclusion that he had been
naturalized and that no record had
been made. It was found that persons
had seen his papers before he left.
Mr.. Stone says it has happened in a
number of cases that papers have been
taken out but not recorded. Although
the family was in Germany when the
last message was written tits thought
they will have no trouble in getting
away and that they will reach Reeds
burg about the middle of October Mrs.
Seifert is daughter of A. Coleman of
Reedsburg and niece of John E. Cole

OQi1 Holt!
VITO O@nS?

The supreme court of Wisconsin has
delivered an opinion that will be of
great interest to hunters, trappers,
and boy scouts. The action was
brought to recover the body of a wolf
Said wolf had heen mortally wounde d
by one hunter but was sneaking off in
spite of said wound. Hunter No.
appeared and gave said wolf its quietus
then claimed the body as his property.
But the court held that "when a wild
animal is brought under the control of
a person, so that actual possession is
practically inevitable. a vested prop
erty interest accrues, which cannot be
divested by another intervening and
killing it" In other words hunter No.
l was the legal owner of the wolf. So,
if too enthusiastic hunter happens
to catch hold of bear by the tail, 80
that actual possession is practically
inevitable" his envious companion
should forbear killing said bear. To
do so will not give him possess
sion, under the law. The man
holding on to the tail owns the
bear, if as the Scotchman said, ''the
tail do not break. st. Louis Post

HIS AUTO
UPSETS ON BRIDGE

Eric Fadness OF Keyeser was in Co.
lumbus Tuesday with his auto in which
he had quite number of slaves for a
silo he is building. The young man
who is putting up the silo was with
him. They started for home after
dark without lights and at a very
high rate of speed. When about a
mile from town they did not strike
bridge just right with the result that
the auto was hung by one fender to the
railing of the bridge, the young fellow
was in the water in the ditch, with the
silo slaves on top of him, unable to get
out. But that Marshal Voth followed
them as soon as he saw them leave
town the result might have been diff
ferent. He brought the young men
to town, where he secured dry clothing.
Fadness was last seen speeding it
toward home on foot. He was notified
to appear in Columbus Wednesday
morning but failed to do so and an
officer has been sent after him. -Por-

BILE farm animals by the Wis

ton. It contained money making and

each of the following classes of live
stock; beef cattle, dairy cattle, sheep

WONDERS At
NIAGARA FALLS
AND ROCHESTER
BarabOO Resident Tells About
the Great TunBGII on the
Canadian Side Of
River.

On our trip east we made our first
stop at Niagara Falls, visiting Goat
Island, the Three Sister Islands, the
beautiful parks and indulged in troll
ley trip of twelve miles through the
gorge. On the Canadian side we en-
tered the million dollar tunnell built by
the Canadian government. In order to
get below we stepped into an elevator
that dropped us 100 feet down and then
we went 1000 feet under the great
falls to see the volume of water that
rolls over-a sight to behold.
After visiting the falls we went to
Buffalo, past the large locks at the end
of the Erie canal which is the beginning
of navigation from the lake.
Afterwards we went to the Rochester
International Exposition and witnessed
an auto polo game played with two
Ford cars on each side. What a sight
to see four snorting autos trying to
drive the ball home. They were often
piled up like football players, they
tipped over and ran after one another
as they were rubber balls. They ran
through a fence and tore off their
tires, the wonder being that no one was
killed It was anything for sport.
| have taken an auto trip of sixty
miles through the vast fruit belt about
Rochester. [ never saw so much fruit
in all my life; apples, pears, peaches
and ounces. Peaches are poor crop
this season. We went through the vast
parks at Rochester also. They are
located in different parts of the city
and contain !, 800 acres of beautiful
drives, athletic grounds and locations
for band concerts. The roads are of
concrete and oiled. Rochester has over
100 shoe factories, the largest optical
works in the world, fine water supply,
Mount Hope cemetery, beaches on
Lake Ontario and other things to see.
The weather is fine and IS in the shade

BY H. E. COLE

Full of interest was our journey into
the land of the bag pipe, of heather
and of Burns. Scotland was all astir
with preparations for war when we in
vaded her border and the soldier Scots
with the dress of their fathers Old,
were marching toward the front in
the greatest conflict of all time. The
distance across the sea from Germany
to Scotland is not great and the Scots
realize that a mailed fist might come
down upon them in case the TeutOns
were not overthrown. The issue is
not so keen as it is with France yet
they knew in a way it is also matter
of life and death to them. One could
not help cheering the loyalty of her
fair young men as they shouldered
their rifles and knapsacks and marched
away. Their jaunty caps, their pleat-
ed kits (skirts) of tartan (plald)
swinging short of their knees and their
abbreviated stockings with heavy shoes
made up their uniform. A large sec
ton of their legs about the knees were
exposed and from the right stocking
there glittered the sharp blade of an
ugly looking knife. Each soldier wore
the plaid of his clan, be it Gorden,
Cameron, or Campbell and as a regi-
ment swung down the street it pre-
sented picturesque appearance and
elected cheers from the Unlocking
throng. Poor fellows! Some would
never again look upon the moorlands
or heathered hills of their native land.
Judging by the past one cannot but
believe that the Scots Of old delighted to
fight and no doubt some of the young
er generation do not fear the front.
A map of Scotland with the battle
fields marked upon it shows they are
almost as thick as the pits on the face
of small pox patient. The battle
fields extend in time all the way from
Mons Graupius on the moorIands OF
Ardoch in Roman times to the last
struggle with the English on Cullo,
den Moor. The interim is filed with
fights with the Picts, Irish, Norwe-
gians and others who attempted to
subjugate the land. The battles were
not so sanguinary as those of 1914 but
there was just as much bravery in that
day as this.
Glasgow and Edinburg are the
greatest cities and these we visited.
The former is the larger and contains
over a million people being about half
the size of the city of Chicago. 1t is
purely commercial ci Y, ship-building
and shipping being the leading indus
tries. Edlnburg is where the kings
dwelt when Scotland had kings and
the royal palace is preserved to this
day. Occasionally the royal family
comes from London for visit and
while in Scotland reside in the palace,
all the splendor of former days then
being manifest A century and half
under the English crown has no doubt
impressed the Scots with the idea that
in union there is strength, especially
in the times of bloody wars.

John Knox Buried In Street,

Edinburgh castle surmounts a great
rocky cliff and was able to withstand
almost any attack in the days before
siege guns had become demons of war.
1t was here in the early half of the
seventh century that Edwin of North
umbrla built fortress, hence the name
"EdWln's burg. Many memories
cling about the great stone pile. Once
1t was taken by few men who climbed
up its almost perpendicular crags, here
Queen Mary gave birth to James vi
and here during the troubles of the
persecution there was witnessed the
last sleep of Argyll"
From the castle leads a street to the
cathedral a thoroughfare was once
frequented blythe great and noble of
Scotland. Here also has been wit
messed more than one bloody struggle
like that of "Clean the Causewav".
and here Daen have been shot for real
or fancied wrongs The way leads to
st. Giles cathedral where John Knox
thundered, his last resting place being
beneath the paving stones in a street
court outside. Near at hand stood (the
first parliament house, afterwards a
prison and made famous by Scott
"Heart of Midlothian. The spot is
marked by heart of stones in the
tosne pavement.
Travellers speak of Edinburg as the
ATHENS of the North, and when one
has looked upon her fine streets, beauti-
fulEparks, historic piles and cultured
people he feels that the appelation fits
the metronOlis.
