FACE SHATTERED BY A GUN Few Teeth Left Used to Anchor New Grinders and Bony Structure of ‘Nose is Replaced by a Silver Frame. David Raymond 1s a South Dakota Sioux Indian who is having a new face fixed on af Clarkson hospital. His natural stolcism will - be reinforced hereafter by a physiognomy unshakable by laughter or #neeze. Raymond, who is about %, grew tired of life, in his own mind, last fall, and placed a gun under his chin, with the muzzle up- ward. Then he carefully pulled the trig- ger and prestol—he had no more face than a deviltish. David was a robust, tough ochunk of Indian humanity, however, with a consti- tution akin to that of a cat fully equipped | With lives. He lived, perhaps in -agony, but of that he gave little sign, thus saving his pride. Brought to Omaha for repairs, Raymond was placed in the Clarkeon Mtemorial hos- pltal, and clever surgeons were called in to look him over. It was a most desperate case, they found. The whole under faw was shattered, and about all that was left that could be regarded as permanent was three teeth, molars. The upper jaw was likewise pretty well gone, being split ana made into ragged edges, but also retaining @ few teeth. He was shy entirely on nose, With the exception that the skin of what had once been a nose was partially left, flat against the nasal paseages. Alto- gether, David Raymond was In no condi- tion to make faces at anything or any- body. Surgeons Undivicayed. After & caretul survey of Mr. Raymond's facidl remains, the surgeons agreed that here was fi€ld for experiment worthy of their skill and ambition. They took all necessary steps to make David comfortable and to prepare him for a long slege of very particular and delicate dental and surgical work. The skin of the chin, or what was left of It, was used to cover the portion remaining of the lower jaw, and a dentist, after careful measurements and planning, constructed bridges and crowns that will eventually emable the patlent to consume his government rations, In fact, right now he is doing fairly well as a membe: of the oppressed family of consumers. But the nose—that's where the fine work is being done. This Indian will have a silver proboscls when he leaves the hos- pital. A silver frame was constructed, of temporary character at first, which was anchored to the bones of the face by screws. While Mr. Raymond did not insist on it, as a matter of wise precaution, he was anaesthetized while the surgeons worked at this ticklish job of laying a keel for a new nose. The sllver frame in place, the skin that had once covered his natural nose was drawa over it with great care. All of this repair work has. consumed up to date, something llke three months and now the surgeons are about ready to place the permanent nose frame In posi- tion. But Raymond is not out of the hus- | pital yet by a good deal. In fact, the surgeon who is in charge of the case says his stay in the hospital, and the completion of the extraordinary work un his face is a matter of indefinite date. This case will take its place in surgl STORES Spring Opening Week of Monday, March Fourteenth A formal presentation of the new spring styles for 1910 in millinery, ready-to-wear apparel, fabrics and ac- cessories to the costume.

This is the cut rate put in by former President Stickney and which has been the thorn in the flesh of the other roads all the while. But the most notable thing ‘nlmul this rate is that other roads have | sought to create the belief that It was this | rate that led ultimately to the bankruptey| | of the Great Western. They argued that | | the rate got the road the bulk of the busi- | ness and this in turn broke the road. Some years ago President Stickney en- | | tered into a seven-years' contract with the | | packers of South Omaha by which he | | agreed to haul their dressed meats to Chi- | | cago for 13 cents per hundred. This was | what he figured the railroads were re- | celving net, after deducting their rebates. | Rebating has been stopped since that time. | It is now announced that the Great West- | ern has been reallzing 6.78 mills per ton per mile on dressed meats, while the average for hauling all other freight on | the system is but 7.17 mills per ton per | mile. More Than Any Other Traffic. The Great Western, therefore, has been | getting more for hauling dressed meats un- der the ideal operating confiitions of from one terminal on the line to another, direct, though, from the Missour! river to Chicago, than it collects from any other traffic, and that at the published rate of 18 cents per hundred pounds. Missourl river business men have investigating this condition with & view | Commerce commission and have found the rallroads are getting a high rate all over the country for handling dressed meat. It has been found by Investigating the reports that the Lake Shore between Chi- cago and Buffalo, where the conditions and distance Is about the same as between Omaha and Chicago, has been collecting £37 mills per ton per mile on dressed meats, while all other traffic on the system pays an average of 5.21 mills per ton per mile. | The Nickel Plate, hauling between the same terminals, received 828 mills per ton | pr mile, and but 515 mills per ton per mile for hauling all other traffic on the system, It is expected the case which the Missouri | river markets brings before the Interstate Commerce comlission will make other in- teresting revelations. The proposed raise will cause a great loss to Omaha, Sloux City, Minneapolls, St. Paul and St. Joseph. NEBRASKA AND NORTH DAKOTA PEOPLE MEET IN LOS ANGELES 014 Residents of These Two States Hold Reunion in Cal fornia City. Fifteen hundred yellow Nebraska ribbons and 1,600 red North Dakota ribbons floated in Eastlake park yesterday on the coats and walsts of the California representatives of the two states, who had gathered at their annual basket plcnics, says the Los Angeles Herald of Sunday. Nelther of the two state associations had known that the other was planning to meet at ‘the parlk, but when they arrived on the grounds they immediately joined forces and planned their programs In such a way as to make one great pienic of the day. In the morning the Nebraska people had charge of the festivities. Nebraskans and North Dakotans mixed and listened to the Nebraska orators talk of the good times and the bad weather back home and the good times and the fine weather In south- erie Calitornia, W. H. H. Morris, president of the Nebraska society, presided. Among the speakers were J. J. Goper and A. B. Taylor. At the conclusion of the program M. M. Davidson, secretary, led the Ne braskans to one side and showed them how to register. After the picnic dinner the North Da-| kota faction stormed the platform and told | the Nebraska people how glad they were to be with them—away from the snow that | | they might be fighting if they were both at home. Then, of course, they told about the things they raise in the middle west, especially in North Dakota, and finished always with glowing tributes to the Call- fornia climate. Among those who talked were Edward Winterer, president of the soclety; Dr. 8. P. Johnston, Rugby; Dr. W. A. Bently, Bismarck; Rev. George A. Henry and Major E. R. Kennedy. Miss Nellie Pearl Mitchell played several solos on the cornet. BOY INVENTORS MAKE MONEY Instances of Success Profit from Various Devicen. Wireless telegraph and the conquest of the air have takep a firm hold on the youth of America and hundreds of lads of tender years, but advanced ideas, are de- voting their talent to the invention or con- struction of machines in both these lines. While these devices are largely for pleas- ure, Young America has proved its ability to turn inventive genius into utilitarian channels. One of the most remarkable in- ventions made by a boy s a device for signalling on elevated roads. It is In use |on part of the Brooklyn “L' system and 1s the work of Morris Schaeffer, 15 years Recent and | been | of bringng the matter before the Interstate | 0ld, & publio school boy. Morris was of-| | tered $15,000 for this patent, but on the ad- | | vice of friends refused it. The boy expects | | to be able to get $0,000 for the idea from | the raflroad company. | Of quite a different caliber is the ma- | | chine invented by Donald H. Miller, a student at Columbia university. This, by | the mere touching of keys, similar to those on a typewriter, translates Chinese Into | glish. It can also be used to translate | any other language. The contrivance re- | sembles an adding machine. From Indiana comes the record of the | | achlevement of Claude Moore, the son of a poor coal miner. Young Moore, who is !N‘ years old, was reduced to the sum of 2| cents when he received word from the pat- | ent office that it had issued him a patent | on a cornhusker. Thereupon Claude, who | is a thrifty youth, sold this patent to the Harvester trust for considerable real money. . | A most ambitious piece of work has just been successfully finished by Francls Lee ‘lln‘l'r»eh«)f’. the young nephew of the | | famous yacht designer. This is the con- | struction of a high-power racing automo- | bile with which has been developed tr tremendous speed of elghty miles an hour, Herreshoff has also patented a device | for subduing the glare of acetylene lamps, | | The mechanism does away with the neces- | | sity of extinguishin gthe lamps, for it soft- | ens the glare, making it hardly more no- | ticeable than an ofl lamp.—Van Norden's ‘ Magazine.

SAYS KICKERS NOT - FAULTLESS | Those Complaining Down Town Are Permitting Maids at Home to Contribute to Rubbish Heaps in Alleys, Street Commissioner Flynn Is quoting the beam and mote parable. Discussing criti- clsms of street conditions, he says: “‘While some of these folk are down town kicking, their men and maid servants at home are throwing refuse into the streets and alleys, littering the public places. It takes more than the street department and its men to keep Omaha clean. I can see dirt as far as any other man, and I know what should be done and what is not done, More men are employed on the streets of Omaha today then ever before, but we ought to have twice as many, and we should have them all the year round. “Perhaps the critics forget that ten miles of new pavement were laid in Omaha last vear, the greatest amount ever put down in one year. That stretch of paving can- not be taken care of by the same number of men as formerly cleaned the streets. If prominent citizens make the point that the men hired are not the very best that can be secured, I can only say that, since they cannot get work with those same business men, they must be given employ- ment somewhere to support their families. And observation will show our men aver- aged up very well with the laborers em- ployed by private contractors, For proof of that statement, let the kickers watch the flushing crews at work, or watch the ice diggers and the dirt gatherers, out in all kinds of weather. You cannot get picked men for that kind of labor. Systematising Sorely Needed. “When we get tool houses located in dif- ferent parts of the city, so that time need not be wasted in traveling long distances to begin work, we will be doing what any private concern would have done long ago. I have been urging this systematic method of doing work, and have urged up-to-date machinery be bought; in short, that the city go about its extensive work in a busi- nesslike way, but without result. I have asked for large wagons, to be owned by the city, that would carry twice the amount of refuse an ordinary wagon carries at one | 1oad, without avail. “All this agitation will result in good, some time in the future; and when the city gets the right idea of doing its work, the Job of street commissioner will be a snap. At present, the lack of necessary things, | the neglect of the legislature to give the council any emergency power, places the city in the position of working in an old- fashioned catch-as-catch-can fashion that Is expensive without being effective, Busi- ness men can change this condition If they will investigate for themselves and then act when the leglslature meets," CALL OUT FOR FARMERS’ UNION President of National Or, Summons Meeting to Better Farm Conditions. ATLANTA, Ga., March 10.—President Charles S. Barrett of the National Farm- ers’ unfon has called a national convention of farmers to be held In the Coliseum in | St. Louls and to contnue in session from May 3 to 7. The conventian is to discuss needed national and state legislation and to establish bureaus at different capitals to see that the demands of the farmers are heard and to devise some means of making the farm more attractive and of supplying mbre food for the nation.

Notice has been served that a motion to argue the Cronk divorce case will come up before Judge Troup in district court Satur- day and the question of temporary alimony for Mrs. Cronk probably will be then threshed out and settled. Judges on the equity side of district court have been prosecuting inquirles to learn on whose docket the case fell and | there was no eagerness shown to secure the position of presiding at the hearing.
