Richard is one of the kind of republicans that believes it is a mighty poor time to trade horses. Conditions look good enough to him and he thinks the republican style of progress is ail right an<f that there is pesky little use in framing up a new party to follow ambitions of one man, who advocates nothing with sincerity but everything with the aim of securing his personal aggrandizement. James Torbet, of Barkley township, was taken to Wesley hospital in Chicago Tuesday evening by Dr. A. R. Kresler, and is being treated there. He had a severe hemorrhage of the bowels and his condition was very serious when taken away, and he almost died before the hospital was reached. Since arriving there, however, he has been resting very well and is somewhat better. An ulceration of the lower bowel is the trouble and it is believed it can be relieved by an operation. A further diagnosis is to be made today and it will then, be decided whether dr not an operation will be advisable.
