For Operation FOUND IT WASlOT NEEDED! Jaundice and gallstones are more common ailments than is generally sup­ pose*!. We frequently hear of persons affected with one or the other, but to be ailing with both at the same time is rather unusual. A case serious in all its forms, ami the (Mire that was later brought about, has-recently come to the notice of the reporters, and publicity is now given to it for the first time. Mrs. John Sheridan of Wenona, this state, was the unfortunate person. Her ill­ ness has been of long duration. She wns failing rapidly, and was very low when the doctors said an operation was the only hope. Preparations were be­ ing made for it, when the remarkable success in cases of this kind that, Prof. P. A. Leach of Elgin has had was brought- to the attention of the family. The following Saturday he was tele­ graphed for, and immediately left for Weuona, Treatments w&re given Sat­ urday evening and Sunday, and a week later Mrs. Sheridan was brought to Elgin. Here fifteen treatments, cover­ ing two weeks, were given, and again vital magnetism proved superior to everything kuown to present day science. Today Mrs. Sheridan is in better health than at any time for years. Prof. Leach's knowledge and skill are the wonder of the people familiar with the case. Permission is given those in­ terested to address Mrs. Sheridan on the snbject. QUARTER OF A CENTURY. (t«na» Clipped from The Plaladealrr ot September S6, 1883. W. A.

Dr. Howard was called and she is now as easy as could be expected. The Catholic church in this village, Rev. Father O'Neil, pastor, has been undergoing quite extensive repairs this summer. The entire cost of the repairs, we understand, will be about $2,000. The youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. C. T.

Waukegan Gazette, Tuesday, Sept 29: This afternoon before Justice Or vis is being heard the case of Mrs. Herrick of Fox Lake vs. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Howard. She charges that they would not tarn over to her* certain furniture which she had placed in her private room when her husband leased the Min- eola hotel. The Howards claimed it as a part of their assets. The Howards seized the furniture on the ground that Mrs. Herrick had not paid her rent for the hotel. Mrs. Her­ rick at ouce swore out a writ of replevin and this has been contested. The fur niture concerned in the case is worth about $150. Attorney Alex Beaubien is represent­ ing Mrs. Herrick while Attorneys Hey- decker and Field are representing Mr. and Mrs. Howard. The case was hotly contested aud has been takeu under a week's advisement by Justice Orvis. MILK MACHINES A SUCCESS May Hired at Lut Take Elgin Courier: Farmers all over the Elgin district are watching with inter­ est the numerous trials of milking ma­ chines which began at the opening of the summer season. In the sping it was stated that twenty- two dairy owners in the district had dis­ carded all milking machines after a fair trial. Some claimed that the apparatus injured the cows and lesseued the flow of milk, without greatly reducing the cost of running the dairy. Manufacturers have been more of lees discouraged at tt)e failure to get into the Elgin district. They need the pres­ tige which success here would give them, and at the opening of this Beason the owners of some of the best milking apparatus so far invented came into the field determined to win. Experts have installed the machinery in nearly every case, and the greatest care has been exercised to see what effect this process had on the cows. * The six months' trial of the Burrell- Lawrence Kennedy milking machines begun in a number of the large dairies of St. Charles and Wayne townships, has been declared successful by the larger dairymen of this district. The most notable example of what the machines can do is at the Charles Hammond farm, four miles east of St. Charles. On this farm of 800 acres with eighty bead of cattle, forty cows have been milked moat of the time since March 1 entirely by the milking rtia- chiues. A three and one-half horse power gasoline engine, to operate the vacuum pump counected with the milk­ ing machines, was installed aud two boys, one eleven and the other sixteen years of age, do all of the milking now by attaching and releasing the appara­ tus. Mr. Hammond nses Ave of the ma­ chines, which will milk ten of the cows at a time. A machine operates at *the rate of abont twelve cows per hour. The milk from the Hammond farm is taken at the St. Charles plant of the Bowman Dairy cdmpany and has not at any time differed in quality from that of any 'other dairies of this vicinity. Mr. Hammond stated recently that dur­ ing the test he had not lost a cow thru any defective operation of the machin­ ery. During the better parts of the milk season this summer he has been sending from 128 to 130 gallons of milk per day. Other dairies trying the ma­ chines report like favorable results, and the weary grind of milking by hand, farmers declare, is over. of every description is what we deal in. Every­ thing that goes to make up a first-class Harness Establishment may be had here. When you get ready for that new work or driv­ ing harness, if you appre­ ciate quality and good workmanship we will be pleased to give you our p r i c e s . : : : : : : M. A.

The regard in which the department "With Insurance Men" in the Chicago Record-Herald has long been held by in­ surance and business men has been in1 creased as a result of the San Francisco conflagration. The Record-Herald gave its readers the latest and most accurate information as to insurance losses there, and was the only paper to send a special representative to San Francisco to de­ vote his attention to the insurance side of the disaster. The department has also had exclusive information of nearly all of the reinsurance of companies and other important changes resulting from the conflagration. It constantly fur­ nishes accurate and concise information on all important changes in the insur­ ance world, fire, life and casualty. It has an exclusive exchange with the in­ surance department of the Journal of Commerce in New York, and thru that covers the news at the home offices of the companies and secures its cable ser­ vice from abroad. All insurance men read this column, and business men who realize Che growing importance of insurance are learning the value of keeping informed thru it. Had a Close Call. Mrs. Ada L.

Alfwuly there are evidence to the goose bone prophet that the coming winter will be severe. Just how severe cannot be foretold, but there are indi cations, he says, that last winter will be remembered as exceedingly mild when we go against the real thing next Jan nary. In the first place the goose bone prophet says that the leaves are falling too early. It is not time for the leaves to leave the trees for a fortnight, bnt already many lawns are l>ei;iuning to bear evidence of the approch of fall.
