In the dnys when buffalo still roam

came over from Europe to have a hand
In their slaughter One party was com

don They arrived at Dodge CItyone
day In the fall with a carload of equip
ment including every sort of delicacy
that the market afforded and several
large trunks full of bright new butcher
knives A detachment of the Sixth
cavalry from Fort Dodge was detailed
to accompany them and probably no
command ever fared better than that
one did The Englishman shot a few
buffalo and the soldiers slaughtered
them by the hundreds But the French
man didnt kill one Instead as fast
as the animals were shot lie would
take one of his brand new butcher
knives plunge it into the slain animal
until it was smeared with blood wrap

back in the trunk as a trophy of the

Thread Used In Surgery
Are you aware that the modern sur
geon employs in his work dozens of
different kinds of thread for sewing
up cuts and wounds Among them
are kangaroo tendons horsehair silk
and very fine silver wire Many ol
these threads are intended to hold for
a certain number of days and then
naturally break away The short
tough tendons taken from the kanga
roo which are used for sewing seven
wounds will hold for about four
weeks before they break away Silk
thread will remain much longer some
times six months while the tine silver
wire is practically indestructible
With the entire outfit a surgeon i
able to select a thread that will last
as long as the wound takes to heal
and will then disappear completely
To accommodate this assortment of
threads special varieties of needles aro
required Besides the needle craned
in different segments of a circle sur
geons use needles shaped like spears
javelins and bayonet points St

tricts in maintaining school at least seven months each year to pro-
hiblt pooling by bridge contractors and compel them to produce books
and papers to remove officers for wilful neglect of duty and failure 5
to enforce laws and to require railroads to furnish equal facilities to
all shippers of grain and other commodities
Care has been taken to have the laws of the state properly oh-
served and caution has been exercised in the use of executive q
ency 5
This is the record briefly given of legislation and administration jj
during the last two years through the republican party All this has y
been done In tie ftterest of the people of this state The republican
party continues to stand for those things is legislation and
tratlon which will promote good government and prohibit any person Q
or corporation from enjoying special privileges at the expense of the g
public Our concern is to deal with all questions as they arise in a
way that will best promote and conserve the general welfare of our
state There shall be no retreat
I ask that the record of the republican party of deeds done in this 55
state during the last two years be placed for consideration beside the O
democratic promises of the past and the present and appeal to the 2
people of this state to stand by the new deal and for the party and ft
the men who steadfastly with honesty of purpose and without malice Q
Q have done so much for the common cause of good government X
