Chicago after spending one week in
Audubon with her father and other
relatives. Miss Clark will take a
special course in the Cook county
hospital. This is the county in which
Chicago is located, and this hospital
affords course of training that can

In an effort to pacify the farmers.
the Democratic press asserts that taxi
ing off the duty of five cents dozen
and admitting 72,000,000 eggs free
of duty did not reduce the price the
farmer receives. If the Importation
of 72,00O,000 eggs didn't injurious
ly compete with the American far
mer, why did the Chinese producer
send them here after the tariff was
removed, but not before? 1t is true
the imported eggs are small in size
and deteriorated by age, but so much
the worse, for they serve that much
more effectively in holding down the
price the farmer receives for good
eggs.

worse Saturday and the attending
physicians advised taking him to the
| Methodist hosbital at Des Moines
Gangrene>d developed which is of such
serious nature that better hospital
facilities were necessary to properly
care for the young man whose life
hangs by a slender thread. Shern
Wright accompanied them to Des
| Moines.
