DOG HAIR GRAFTED ON BOY'S SCALP. Need Remarkable Surgical Opera- tion After an Accident. MOTHER WANTED TO SUPPLY IT. The Boy Himself Suggested the Curly Dog's Wool. New York, Feb, 12.—“I do notcare whether it is dog’s hair or any other sort so long as my little boy comes back to me with his laughing face and glad heart,” said Mrs. John Trammer when asked about the un- usual surgical operation that her 9- year-old boy Otto has just undergone at Flower Hospital. his dog’s back right on the top of his bead,” she said, “and the hair is rowing as luxuriantly and as thick- ly as it would if it were his own.” Otto Tammer, a bright little chap, was at play with children on Christ- mas eve when a trolley car ran him down, rolled him over and finally dragged him 56 feet under the fender. One leg and an arm were broken and several ribs fractured. A ‘patch of his scalp was torn off and left in the street, while what remained of his head covering hung by the skin on his neck. The scalp was drawn back into place and fastened. His broken bones were set, For two weeks he ward by his delirious moans. When he came to himeelf it was found that his collar bone was alse broken. This was set and, he began to mend; but he had no hair or flesh on apiece of his skull six inches square. “ ‘There is but one chance for him,’ ~—~gaid Dr. Wilcox, ‘and that is to gra! some hair onto his head,’ ” explained his happy mother when a reporter ‘asked her about it to-day. “And as there was no one who wanted to give up his scalp for him, Iconcluded to give up mine. By that time Otto had got so that he sat up in bed and played a good deal. One of his plAyfellows was Fritz, the hospital’'dog. The nurses had given Fritz to Otto. One day when I went to see Otto, Lfound him with excite- ment shining in his eyes. It had oc- curred to him to ask Fritz to give up part of his skin with the hair on it, instead of scalping me, his mother. He had asked the surgeon, and the surgeon said he believed it could be done if we were willing to try it. We were, and so the dog waschloroform- ed and six inches of his skin, with the long, wavy black hair on it, was cut off with the thin flesh under it and um. “After it was done the surgeons hepa rthe surgica y, Obituary. | Henry Lutsenhizer was born in| Westmoreland county, Pennsylva-| nia, Oct. 3, 1808, and died Feb. 3,| 1902, aged 93 years and 4 months. He was never martied, choosing a wandering life rather than home-ties. He traveled extensively spending much of his early life in the South- land, but nearly a half century of his latest years were pissed in Califor- nia. He was a pioneer in Bates county, as he came as early as 1837, taking aclaim near where Spruce now is, bat on account of delicate health he soon sought a more congenial cli- mate. About four years ago realizing that he was going blind and would soon be helpless among strangers, hecame back to his relatives, and made his home with the late T. B. Lutsenhizer, whose uncle he was, where he was indly-eared-for-unti-hiedeath—He was also uncle of Mrs. VanHoy and Mrs. J. R. Simpson, of Spruce, and the late J. L. Ludwick, of Butler, He leaves a wide circle of relatives in Bates and adjoining counties, also in Oklahoma, W. B. Kelley, of King- fisher, being a nephew. He had a kind disposition, and was possessed of more than ordinary in- tellect. He wasa great readeraclose observer; and had a retentive mem- ory, 80 that even at his advanced age, his ability to converse on most any subject was remarkable. Death was due to the infirmities of old age, and although separated from his relatives most of his time, of a brother, Jacob, twe sisters, Mrs, Sarah Drake and Mrs. Ludwick, and other relatives in the old family ceme- tery near Spruce. It was noticed that relatives to the fourth genera- tion stood by the open grave. * Cuba or War Taxes. Washington, Feb, 12.—No revision of the general tariff; a cut of about $60,000,060 in war taxes; a reduc- tion of at least 25 per cent, and pos- sibly 30 per cent, in the tariff rates on sugar and tobacco coming from Cuba. This is said to be the pro- gramme of the senate with regard to revenue problems with which the house ways and means committee now is struggling. Without waiting for the decision of the house on these questions members of thesenatecom- mittee on finance have been conduct- ing an investigation as to the ability of the revenues of the government to stand a reduction of $80,000,000, the amount practically involved in the proposition of the house commit- tee for the entire repeal of war taxes. The result convinces the senate lead- ers that, if auything is to be donefor Cuba, it will not be possible also to wipe out the entire list of war taxes.

Dr, Dixon, Middlesboro, Ky., Feb, 12.—One of Cumberland Mountains occurred this afternoon at Lee Turner's blind-tiger saloon, four miles from here.

Washington, Feb, 12,.~—‘Admiral Sampson stands.a good. chanee—of living longer than agreat many peo- ple who are walking about the streets to-day,” said Dr. W. S. Dixon, the Admiral’s physician, when question- ed about the retired admiral's health to-day This was the first time Dr. Bixon had permitted himself to talk on the subject. He expressed the profes- sional opinion that Admiral Samp- son would live several months longer, Dr. Dixon said: “Admiral Sampson has rallied from the slight attack ofindigestion which he had the other day, and when I was at his residence to-day, was pre- paring to dress and come down stairs, The admiral comes down to his meals with regularity. He is by no means a well man, but the reports that he \isin imminent danger of death are unfounded.” Orst Da TO PAY A WAR CLAIM. the House Yesterday.

And it did grow. Dr. Wilcox told me that it was the only case in America where a deg’s skin bad been grafted upon a human being’s head, and he was not sure that it was done right. But the other day when I went up to see him the cast had been taken off and the hair was found to be finely graft- ed and growing. Of course, it will not part in the middle yet, but that will come with time. I am satisfied to know he has hair at all. It issoft and silky and shines ‘like ebony. There is a little wave to it and when his hair is combed over and lies on top and blends with the dog's hair the scars of his accident will all be covered up.” f Are you nervous, run down, weak and dispirited?

New Orleans, Feb. 12.—WillisCoop™ er, whoshot and killed William Perry and Mrs. Faraba Russell at Amite City, La., was brought here hurried- ly and lodged in the parish prison to escape being lynched by an infuriat- edmob. While a carnival procession was in progress at Amite City, Coop- er and Perry renewed a previous dif- ficulty, Perry being the aggressor. Cooper drew his pistol and fired fourshots, not only killing Perry but also Mrs. Russell, an aged lady, who was witnessing the parade, surround- ed by her children and grandchildren.
