Mrs. W. I. Yates, accompanied by het husband and her daugher, Mrs. John Eigelsbach, went to Chicago this morning, where she will enter's hospital for a surgical operation. She has been in quite poor health lately and the operation seemed necessary to relieve her suffering. Mrs. William Cooper was brought to the home of James Snedeker yesterday and her locAl physician, Dr. Kyesler, called a specialist into consultation and found that she was suffering from a bran tumor., A traned nurse is caring for her. Her condition is quite serious. Her husband is also very low with consumption. Mrs. Emma 'J. York, who was operated on in a Chicago hospital several weeks ago, is much improved and will probably return home next week. Her 12-year-old son, Delos, was operated on at the hospital- several days ago, for rupture sustained when he was a baby, and Mrs. York will bring him home at the time she comes. Chas. VanVobrst sold 10,000 bushels Of corn at our elevator this week, that being about one-third of the crop that he raised last year on his farm in section 12. Before the land was cached it was covered by the swamp smartweed, and Section 12 was best known As Phil Dobbin’s duck.farm, owing to the many wild ducks that could nearly always be found there. —Wolcott Enterprise.

Earner Wilcox, night operator at the Monon depot, has literally been driven bald headed during the past two weeks, by worry over belated trains, difficulty in sending and receiving telegraph messages and answering telephone calls. Fearing that he would go totally bald, he braved the zero weather and had. the' close clippers applied to his head and his dome now appears in full summer immodesty. Various rumors were afloat among his friends as a cause for his rash act Some thought it to be an Initial precaution toward matrimony, others that he was trying to induce another attack of quinsy and still another guess was that his looks were so attractive with his long hair that he cut it off to prevent leap year girls frein falling in love with him. It thus remains for The Republican to publish the true story. He submitted to jthe barber’s decapitation to prevent actual baldness resultant from so many and frequent requests to be informed about tardy trains.
