ROME, August 24, 2.l5 a. III. - Re
ports are conflicting as to whether
Prince William has abandoned Albania.
1T was stated here today that his leav-
ing would cause no surprise as his sit
uation already difficult before the out
break of the war might have become
quite impossible when, owing to the
necessities of the international com
plication Austria, Italy and the other
powers were obliged to withdraw any
support which helped to maintain him
at Gerazzo. The natives are reported
as Jealous and divided in opinion. They
are said to be agreed only on two
points, namely not to pay taxes and to
oppose conscriptiOns.

Spent Money on Woman.

Sheriff {. +. Mann and States Attorney
\. Y. ID. Piper of Brattleboro came here
yesterday afternoon to help search for
evidence IN the case In Powiedajka' y
room a note was found which Indicated
that he was Jealous of another boarder
| 1t was written III Russian and was trans
lated. y Pole was found who identified
the writing as that of the dead man In
the note he said that he had spent $3.50
on Mrs. Greek, but that she apparently
thought more of the other boarder than
she did of him For that reason, he
wrote he intended to kill the woman and
50 that no other man would be accused Of
her murder. He said he was drunk Fri
day and that he had been locked up
| twice. 1t is evident that he also had
been drinking Saturday He left $3.50,
which is supposed to be all the money he
had. 81 of which was for his board and
room and the balance for his brother,
| who lives here
| At noon Sunday his body was found
near the rear of the grandstand on the
| playground by Andrew Breen, and after
being examined by First Selectman NJ H
Ray it was taken to Fenton & Hennes-
seys undertaking rooms, where a constant
| procession of Russians and Poles viewed
the body in the afternoon.

Optimism.

To look on the bright side of life
and it's affairs with an enthusiastic
belief that everything is all right and
for the best is ideal. This is espec-
tally true as it applies to those who
come in contact with the sick. A
physician, above all men, should be
an optimist-ready to stimulate hope
even though he may not have it him
self. Hopefulness in the countenance
and optimism in the words and ac-
tons of the physician are as sunshine
in the sickroom; they stimulate hope
fulness of recovery in the sick and
a courage that often has potent in
fuence for good. Even when recov-
cry is not possible, the Journal of

that good, not harm, is done. They
make life worth living while it lasts.
The physic influence is always felt
SO long as consciousness remains.

ACTION.
People Endeavoring to Force Sale of
Road Will Have Hearing
Shortly.

Within thirty days the United
States department Of Justice will nix
date for the Iowa attorneys to pre-
sent their evidence in the movement
to compel the Burlington route to sell
the K. & w. branch, running from
Keokuk to Shenandoah, charging
that the road is violating the Sher-
man antitrust law. Earl Ferguson
of Shenandoah, who with Herbert
Scott, is representing the cities along
the K & w. branch has received the
assurance of the government that
the matter will be pushed in the
courts if the evidence is sufficient.
The people along the X & W..
feel confident that if the Burlington
is compelled to sell the branch, it will
be purchased by the Union Pacific,
as a connecting link between it's lines
now ending at Omaha, and the B. e
O., now ending at Beardstown, I'LL.
Ferguson declares this would be OF
immense advantage to the southern
part of the state and will give the
towns along the line the service they
are entitled to. The Burlington is
claimed to own four lines which par
allel to each other in southern Iowa.
The people interested in the K. &
w. branch say they are interested
only in divorcing it from the main
system However, it is possible that
if the government takes up the mat
ter, it will be for the purpose of max
ing the Burlington sell all but one of
the lines it now owns in that terri

In the first four months of 1913
there were 1880 aoutos registered.

ALL BALLED UP INSIDE.
Des Moines Surgeons Operate on IA
Man Who is Internally
TranSpOSed.

The following interesting story
from Des Moines, will be of interest
to our readers, the more so from the
fact that one of the operating sur
geons, DR.. j. w. Greenman, was a
former resident of Leon:
George Argey, %, laborer, today
is recovering from an operation for
the removal of his appendix from his
left side. He is declared by DR..
Howard j. Wright and DR.. j. w.
Greenman, who operated upon him
to be a IMAM in 10000 men,
Argey, in colloquial language is
"all balled up inside. His appendix
DR., Wright explained should have
been found on the right side. His
heart instead of humping Argey's
left ribs, beats it's tattoo against the
right latterals.
Argey is transposed internally. Or
gans which should be on the left side
perform their functions on the right
side of his body and those that should
ordinarily be found on the right are
opposite their proper positions.
And still Argey suffers no discom-
fort. His heart action is normal, and
all the other organs perform their
work just as they do in man of
normal construction. He was operat-
ed upon for appendicitis, and when
the pain appeared on the left or
wrong side, the doctors merely
thought it had been projected. They
made their incision, however, above
the pain, suspecting an unusual con-
ditions of affairs and right there, be-
fore their eyes nestled the vagrant
appendix, nearly ninety degrees of
latitude away from home.
THE case is extremely unusual

have been only few score reported
in the. history of surgery. should
say that only one person in 10000
is SO transposed as Argey. We ex-
perienced no difficulty in operating
upon him, and his case proved so in
teresting that it was discussed at a
clinic Of the medical association last
night"
Argey is under the care of nurse

but from the shock Of the appendicit-
is operation No effort was made to
correct the transposition and the doc
tors say that Argey may never exper-
fence any difficulty from his strange
