OPENED SET JAWS
Fort Scott Surgeons Broke
Boys Teeth and Cut Muscles.
Mouth Had Been Closed Tight
Since Last December.

Fort Scott. Kan, Aug. 10.-Atter
having his jaws locked for eight
months, Grant Shattuck, the 5-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Shattuck of
Boicourt, north of Fort Scott, was
operated on at Mercy hospital by DR..
J. r. Newman. The lads jaws had
been locked as a result of an attack
of diphtheria and SO tightly were they
locked that the surgeons were com
PEELED to use great force in opening
them.
Such was the force applied that two
of the lads teeth were broken off be-
fore the jaws could be pried apart.
After the mouth had been opened suf-
ficiently to permit of the insertion of
the blades of a pair of scissors, some
of the muscular bands in the throat,
which had been badly deformed by
diphtheria, were cut, and then the
parative ease.
The boys jaws are very sore, and
although he could open his mouth, the
soreness made 1t almost impossible for
him to eat 1t is thought that he will
be able to return to his home within a
week, and that he will soon be all
right.
The operation of opening the boys
mouth would have been very painful
had it not been for the fact that he
was put under the influence of ether
The lad had diphtheria last winter
and in December his jaws set. Since
that time it has been impossible for
him to eat anything solid and the only
nourishment he could take had to be
in liquid form, so that he could strain
it through his teeth.

KAISER'S GUARANTEE
VIII Publish BeIated Lusitania Note
to ForestaH Violation.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Announce-
ment that the last German note on
the Lusitania, submitted to the state
department nearly six months ago, is
to be published, is the direct answer
to those who feared a return to power
of the Won Tirpitz element in Ger
many with a consequent renewal Of
ruthless submarine warfare, officials
asserted today. The publication is to
be made with Germanys consent.
The note, declaring the killing of
Americans on the Lusitania was unin-
territorial and expressing profound re-
gret for loss of American life, is de-
clared to be a complete guarantee in
the name of the German people
against any such submarine campaign
as that which precipitated the recent
German-American crisis. It declares
campaign of reprisal against other
than enemy subjects to be a mistake
and is said to agree entirely with this
country's view that noncombatants
and particularly neutrals must not
suffer.

The party was riding in the Har-

When Mrs. Harbaur applied the brake
in going down a steep incline, the
wheels skidded on the oiled road and
the car, turning completely around,
started on its downward journey over
two high entertainments. Both Mrs.
Rodgers and Mrs. Vosscler were
thrown from the car, but Mrs. Har-
baur remained at the steering wheel.
All three sustained only slight in

sive gown of silk, which was ruined
as the result of her fall from the car.

Copenhagen, (via London, Aug. 10. }
Agitation against the sale of the
Danish West Indies, is increasing, es-
pecially in the Conservative and Left
parties. Evidence of dissatisfaction
are beginning to appear in the radical
journals and among partisans of the
government.
papers print communications from
prominent persons inviting the king to
refuse to sign ratification of the sale
If It is passed by the rigsdag, but that
the king would do so is extremely I'M
likely as under the Danish pariia-
mentary system, the king has never re-
fused his signature to a measure which
the rigsdag adopts.
There is a marked increase in senti-
ment generally that the sale should be
postponed until after the elections or
a p1ebiscite.

DISMISSED MURDER CASE.
Wichita Man Released Because OF
Lack of Evidence.

Wichita. Kan, Aug. 10. E. Shaw,
retired farmer, who was arrested after
his wife was shot to death in her West
side residence last week, has been dis
charged from custody. The case came
up for hearing in city court, and Ross
Mccormick, county attorney, an
nounced that the state had no evidence
to go ahead with a prosecution.
Mrs Shaw. was shot through the
breast in what the husband reported
was a struggle for the possession of a
shotgun. He said that he tried to take
the gun away from his wife for fear
she would do herself bodily harm.
The couple had been packing pre-
paratory to moving to their farm in
Harper county. 1t was reported at the
inquest that they had not been very
happy lately, and one witness testified
that another woman, who was named
and who took the stand, had caused
Mrs. Shaw to become very jealous.

So TOOK RETREAT
Third of Series of Exercises at
st. Marys Closed.
Total Number of Retreatants
Nears 1900 Mark.

st. Marys. Kan, Aug. 10.-The third
Mems Retreat of the season of 1915
has come to a close at St. Mary's col
lege, st. Marys. Kan. Fifty-three
men representing the states of In
diana, Illinois. Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Missouri and Kansas took part in the
exercises. The majority were young
men.
Rev. John A. McClorey, S. J., gave
the instructions and lectures, and
Father A. Huffman, the director of
the retreats, assisted him in conduct
| ing the details of the work. The plan
of the work as laid down by Igna-
thus of LOyOla was accurately followed,
and as usual all were impressed with
the practical character of the course
as something suited to the need of this
age.
The total number in attendance thus
far for this summer has been 154.
The first gathering, limited exclusive
~ to knights of Columbus of the state
| of Kansas, drew the largest attendance
of the season, sixty-eight. The total
number of those who in the past few
years have taken this intensive course
| in acknowledgment is approaching
the two-thousand mark. The ages
range from 8 years to "a, and labor
ers and lawyers, bankers and clerks,
merchants and doctors, farmers and
manufacturers. artisans and men of
|
ants who have come from fourteen
states.
Hold One More Retreat.
The retreat is made up of a series
OF exercises aiming at self control and
self expression along Christian lines.
They do much to bring about peace of
mind. clear headed thinking, and
courage to attack the daily problems
and difficulties of life. The course
was standardized by Ignatius of 10y
ola more than 800 years ago and has
| been the guide for all similar work
in Europe and this country.
The last retreat of this year will
commence on Saturday, August 10, at
8 o'clock in the morning and prom
ises to draw even a larger crowd than
the corresponding retreat of last year
when 119 men attended, the largest
gathering of it's kind known in the his
tory of this work in this country. The
capacity of Loyola Hall, the dormitory
building, is $50, and, as the applicants
may exceed this number, the fathers
at the college desire reservations
should be made by those contemplate
ing attendance
Rev. Adolph Kuhlman, S. j.. will
conduct the exercises of this last meet
ing and will be assisted by Father w
Downing, S. ].

CIRCUS WAS ENJOYED
Lack of Death Defying'' Acts Fm-

A variety of vaudeville talent--a
little wider and of evidently better
quality-stood out prominently above
every other feature of the big show
that Barnum & Bailey brought to To-
peka Wednesday for two perform.
ances No other circus that has made
this city since circuses put Topeka on
their map succeeded in drawing from
uniform note of distinct approval as
last nights performance apparently
drew for its stage and ring events.
The show appeared to be just little
slow IN warming up. Absence of a
big stage near the main entrance from
the dressing rooms detracted some
what from the effectiveness of the
spectacle, the Persian Pageant" The
first few ring and stage acts did not
serve to add much to the perform
ance.
After the first few events, however,
the show began to pick up rapidly and
soon proceeded with vim and snap
mer visits to Topeka Until the last
feature, the display of talent gradual
ly improved.
Three big rings and four stages af-
forded every facility to offer continu-
Gus entertainment. Every variety OF
performer known to the circus APP
peared. The elephants which ,an Of

FINE YEAR IN CHEYENNE.
Big Shipments of Stock Sent Out-355
/ Automobiles in County.

st. Francis. Kan, Aug. 1O.-Chey-
enne county people will enjoy the lux
uries of life same as they do in the
cider counties of the state. Up to the
present time this northwest corner
county of the state had taken out 355
automobile licenses, which shows that
prosperity has struck the people here
in big chunks.
In one shipment of stock from st.
Francis there were ten carloads of
stock, eight loads of cattle and two of
hogs. The J. L. Finley load of hogs
was extra fine, and topped the mar
ket for that day.

increasing the price of print paper.
