Twilight Sleep in Osceola Hospital

Since the fact became known that
local physici; MS, in an unusual case,
practiced with success the new sci
ence known as Twilight Sleep" at
the Osceola hospital Thursday after
noon, much interest has been mani
tested in the development OF the
case.
AS near as the reporter could
learn from the limited information
given out at the hospital Mrs. Pearl
Woodruff of Humeston was brought
to the Osceola hospital Wednesday
suffering from a humorous growth
as the result of fall some time pre-
viOus. In view f the fact that moth
erhood awaited the young patient
but two months hence the case of
confinement was one of extreme deli
cacy. With this in view DR.. Sells
and his assistants admins tered twi-
light sleep with the result that the
young mother is on the way to recov-
cry and the babe lacking two months
of maturity is being developed in an
incubator packed with cotton. With
sufficient heat and necessary nourish-
ment it is hoped that the child may
be developed to maturity.
Mrs. Woodruff, the mother of the
incubator baby, is herself but Is
years of age. She is the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. E. Rushing of Hum
eston and the granddaughter of Mrs.
Walter Hicks of Osceola.

CHILD DROWNED IN WATER
TANK.
Little Son of John Perkins Southeast
of Lineville, Nearly Two Years
Old. the Victim.

We are seldom called upon to
chronicle more pitiful accident than
that which occurred on Tuesday of
last week when the infant son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Perkins, who reside on
the Roper farm, 5 " miles southeast
Of this place, was drowned by falling
into a galvanized iron watering tank
which was situated a short distance
from the house. The little fellow
was playing about the yard and was
noticed by his mother only a short
time before, but having disappeared
from her sight, her older daughter
was sent to look for him when his
dead body was found in the tank. DR..
huff was summoned and drove to the
place in his car with all speed and
employed all the means known to
medical skill and science to restore
life to the child, but without avail,
too long time having elapsed since
the drowning 1T was a sad blow to
the parents and family and they have
the deepest sympathy of all in their
sad and sudden bereavement. Lime

Miss Eva Edwards Married in New
York.

The following account of the we'd
ding of Miss Eva NJ. Edwards a form
er popular young lady of Decatur
county will be read with interest by
many friends in this county. Miss Ed
wards moved to New York state
something over year ago.
Two of our most popular and es-
teemed young people, Miss Eva NJ.
Edwards and Mr.. Leonard C. Coombs
were married at Cardiff, New York,
on Wednesday morning, March 29th,
by their pastor, Rev. o. L. Schriver.
They were accompanied by their
most intimate friends, Glenn Dodge
and Miss Ruby NJ. Adsitt. The bride
was becomingly attired in a beautiful
dark green English poplin suit, the
groom wearing a dark blue. The
bride is a charming young lady and
the possessor of sweet jolly DISPOSE
ton. She is we'll qualified in every
respect to fulfill the position she now
occupies and will make life CHEEKY
and bright for him whom she has
chosen to be her partner through
life. She is endowed with LIES
greatest talent, good common sense
A girl with her ability, humor, wit,
common sense, and accomplishments
she has attained and with her strong
christian character we heartily sane
ton the groom upon his assertion,
"the proudest man livin'." We have
only known the bride for a year but
in that short time she has host of
friends out here who are greatly in
terested in her and we think of her
as not stranger among us but as
one of us. The groom is a specimen
of a model type of manhood of sterl-
ing christian character, who left his
home in Plymouth, England, five
years ago to win his fame and for
tune in America, being of little adj
venturOus nature and with great am
billions and energy has succeeded in
every line of work he has had the
opportunity to master and is fast
climbing the ladder to success. Their
honeymoon has been detained on ac-
count of the European war and con-
seQuently this estimable young couple
will be at home at Lafayette, to
their many friends after April Is.
They were the recipients of many
beautiful and useful presents, both
from here, the west and from across
the waters. The bride was rendered
a shower at the home of Mrs. Charles
Dodge where she has made her home !;
for the last year just prior to her
wedding and they were also given a
farewell party by friends before leav-
ing for their new home. May Gods !
richest blessings dwell upon this !,
christian home that is just being !;
builded and success crown their path
way and reach it's highest elevation
for them. xxx

SMALL CHECKS GOOD.
Orders to Pay May he Issued For
Sums of Less Than 81.

Washington, March 31.-Checks
for less than one dollar may be issu-
ed in Iowa or any place else in the
American nation without fear of pen
atty for violating the federal laws.
Congressman Sweet was notified
thus by the department of justice, to
which he referred the matter when
brought to his attention from bust
ness men in the third district that
Iowa papers had resurrected the old
law that prohibited the circulation Of
small checks.
The law quoted by the Iowa press
still is on the statute books of the
nation, but it was today interpreted
by the department of justice as ap-
plying to conditions in war days when
fractional currency" commonly
known as "private circulation" and
"shinplasters," was in use.
Replying to Congressman Sweets
inquiry, the attorney general wrote:
THE state did not then Gin the war
days. nor does it now have any refer
ence to our ordinary bank checks,
and does not, therefore, make is un-
lawful to issue such check for a
sum less than one dollar. To use
language that will be understood by
all, bank check is not intended to
circulate as money, or to be receiv-
ed or used in lieu of lawful money,
but is merely an order for the pay
ment of money, although it frequent
ly takes the place of money in the
business transactions of the day.
The attorney general further said
the law applies to firms which at
tempt to put in circulation fraction
al currency of its own, sometimes in
the form of a metallic check or shin
plaster which is in violation of the
provision.
