MISS MADELINE RAMP IN HOPEFUL CONDITION

Young Lady School Teacher Underwent Serious Surgical Operation and Is Recovering. rMiss Madeline Ramp, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ramp, of this city, who has been having trouble for several weeks with her right ear, underwent a second and very serious operation at a Chicago hospital last Friday. The outcome of the operation was very much in doubt and the surgeon had prepared the devoted parents and relatives for the worst. Mrs. Ramp and Miss Tillie were at the hospital when the operation was performed and Mrs. Ramp is still there. Miss Tillie remaining until Monday evening. The surgeons found that the bone was infected, the consequence of an slu* had ten years ago. In order to .remove all of the diseased parts of t!ie bone it was necessary to make an ineision in front of the ear and then on top and around to the back. A piece of bone as large and as long as one’s little finger was removed. She was on the operating table forv two hours. She was not regarded out of danger until late Sunday night when a marked improvement was noticed and now she seems to be on tDo road to recovery. It is quite probable that the "hearing of the ear will be impaired, and possibly entirely gone, but it is not probable Chat it will affect the the other ear. Miss Ramp was teaching school at Wakarusa. this being her second year there. It is sincerely hoped that she will make speedy recovery and will be able soon to return to the work for which allie has so well prepared herself. Ray Adams sale yesterday.
