Part of His Brain Gone.
Can a human being actually
lose a part of his brain substance
without suffering any serious
loss of that mysterious thing
called "the mind ? "
This question has had much
; nterest for the scientific workers
-f the last Quarter century. It
i given fresh interest by the
case of Cecil Mullins , an 11-year-
> ul boy , who is now a patient at
t lie St Louis city hospital. Six
weeks ago this boy was taken to
ihe hospital with his skull badly
crushed in the region of the left
u-mple. Bits of the sharp broken
bone had been driven inward , not
only tearing a ragged hole
through the delicate brain cover
ing , but actually burying them
selves an inch deeper in the brain
itself ) cutting- and bruising the
fine tissues o ver a circular space
as large as a silver dollar.
Dr. J. W. Shankland performed
an operation immediately. The
case was considered almost hope
less. But the boy liyed and is
declared by Dr. Shankland to be
practically out of danger.
In the operation a part of the
boy's brain was removed. The
part removed is in that section
usually identified with the power
of speech. Just what effect will
be the result of Cecil's operation
is yet uncertain. He is alert ,
bright , cheerful , but he cannot
remember books and incidents
that were familiar to him a short
time ago. lie has no recollection
of having read "Robinson Cru
soe. '

Negro paid his Taxes in Advance.
Among the patriotic citizens
who have been coming forward
with payment of taxes in advance
the one who so far has attracted
the most attention has been John
Brown , who was "a free nigger"
back in the days of early Memphis
and was living in his own home
on Hernando , now South Third ,
street in 18-14 , when James K.
Polk was elected President.
John Brown is nearly 90 years
of age , , but is still us spry as
many n score or more of years
younger. He was owned by u
man by the same name , and in
18-14 had earned enough mone > v
working at odd jobs not only tc
purchase his freedom , but to buy
n little home on Hernnndo street.
John continued to work at hie
trade as a barber , taking pleasure in
the thought that Andrew Jackson
was often shaved by him , as well
as the first John Overtoil , witli
other notable men down to the
present mayor of Memphis , ovei
whose faces the old negro wielded
a rasor when the chief executive
came to Memphis to praetic law
John now lives in his owi
home at 700 North Fourth street
in Chelsea , but has accumulatei
enough to keep from work. II (
came forward Wednesday will
his advance taxes , and proudly
came up to the office of Mayoi
Malone to show him a receipt fo :
$15.75.

A\arket Letter.
Kansas City Stock Yards ,
Aug. 5. 1)07. A large reduction
in cattle receipts last week en
abled salesmen to secure advances
on all kinds. The cow market !
was uneven , but closed with a
small advance , and the general
market gained 10 to 25 ceiHs.
The supply today is 15,000 head ,
considerable below expectations ,
and the outlook for the market is
good this week. Prices are
steady to strong today , best fed
steers at $7.15 , bulk of fed steers
at $6.25 to $0.75 , grass steers
from native territory mostly at
$4.f > 0 to $5.f > 0. A feature of- the
market lately is the strong de
mand for feeders , choice grades
today at $5.20to $5.75. and a
few lots last week up to $5.'JO. '
Continued rains and good grow
ing weather arc also stimulating
demand for stock grades and
lighter feeders , these kinds sell
ing at $3.25 to $5 , and the move
ment last week was the largest
of the season in spite of smaller
total receipts of cattle. Very
few cattle remained in the pens
at the end of the week. ' The
range country is not contributing
many cattle yet , one train of
Colorado stockers last week , at
$3.85 , and Oklahoma and pan
handle stockers at $3.25 to $4.25.
Fed cows and heifers are scarce ,
top heifers around $5-75 , cows
$4.75. grass heiters up to $4.85 ,
and Kansas grazed western cows
at $2.80 to $3.65 , bulls $2.60 to
$3.50. calves 20 to 50 cents higher
than a week ago , at $4 to $6.25.
Quarantine supplies are running
about one half as hea\3' as a
month ago. the main movement
from that section over for this
season , although moderate sup
plief will continue through Sep
tember and October.
The hog market has been most
disappointing the last several
days , including today. Packers
appear indifferent , and shippers
have been the main support ot
the market. Run is 0,000 today ,
market weak to 5 lower , packers
top$0.17/4. although speculators
paid as high as $6.25 early today.
Bulk of sales $6 to $6.15 , heavy
hogs at $5.'JO ' to $6.05. Hog re
ceipts have been pretty liberal
all summer , and packers have
good supplies of meats on hand ,
and do not care to add to them at
present range of prices.
Sheep receipts are small , only
11,000 last week , and 2500 here
today. The market advanced
late last we ek , especialy on lamb- >
and is stronger today. Natives
comprise about all the supply , al
though occasional shipments of
range sheep or lambs arrive.
Movement from Utah will start
in about two weeks. Top lambs
today $7.65 , bulk $6.75 to $7.60 ,
yearlings up to $6.25 , wethers
$0.75 , ewes $5-50. Very little
stock or breeding stuff available.

THE VERY BEST HE VERY CHEAPEST
Food for Standpatters.
The report of the United States
Steel corporation , the head of the
Steel trust , for the quarter ending
with June o'O , bhosve net earnings
tit the rate of 182 millione per
year. Advocates of the protective
tariiV declare that protection is
neee'Ssarj in order that industries
nny lie enabled to make good
piotitti and jet pay high prices
fur labor. Hut is it necessary to
protect industries to such an ex
tent that oiio corporation can
make net profits of million dollars
lars per day , including Sundays ?
IB it a bafe and 'just economic
system that makes it possible for
any corporation , involving the
output of such essential , and
widely used anicles IIH steel and
iron , to make such a profit ? Ts it
safe , aside from nil other considera
tions , for the government to en
courage , protect and promote such
concentration of wealth ?
The government puts a tariiV of
$7 per ton on steel rails. The
Steel trust sells steel rails to
American consume-s for $28 per
ton and for a long time the
foreign price with marine freight
paid has been $22 per ton. just
now American steel rails are
delivered in Canada at $19 per
ton. The Steel trust can nll'ord
to sell to American consumers at
tlie same rate that if sells to
Canadian consumers but it does
not need to make the same price
at home because the generous
government , by virtue of a tariiV
if $7 'per ton , keeps out foreign
competition , and the trust has
eliminated all domestic competi
tion. All other pteel and iron
products of the trust are similarly
afl'ected. Does any fun-minded
man believe that this tariff is nec
essary either to the bteel industry
or to the workmen engaged in the
steel business ?
Remember , too , that this tariff
is not a tax on the railroads or
other users of structural steel and
iron. These users pay it origin
ally , but the people pay the whole
tariff tax in the long run in rail
road fores , freight rotes , rentals of
offices in buildings having steel
construction , in buying machinery
impliments , cooking utensils , cut
lery , tools , and all other things of
which steel and iron ore factors.
The people are taxed to moke
up the enormous profits of 185
millions per year enjoyed by the
Steel trust , and the governmenl
defends this system of taxation ,

resbyterian General Assembly.
The one hundred and ninc-

rcsbyterian church was held at
Columbus , Ohio , in May , and
vas notable as that which con-
ummatcd the "union and re-
inion' ' with t h 'e Ciimberland
? resbyterian church. The aim
et before the united body was
'the removal of the organised ,
cgaliml and therefore popular-
zed iniquities that hinder the
alvation of souls. " A minority
if the Cumberland Presbyterians
ire proposing to form a separate
orgatmlition. T h e Reformed
resbyterians have decided in
heir general synod not to accede
o proposals for reunionalthough
ndividual churches and ministers
; iave united with this larger
body. Other notable action by
the Presbyterian general assem
bly was a decided endorsement of
the Anti-Saloon League and its
work as "sane , safe and effec
tive , " and a pledge of full cooper
ation with it. For the first time
the assembly signified its ap
proval of the use of the revised
version of the Bible in Sunday
schools. The marriage of di
vorced persons by ministers of
the Presbyterian church , except
in the case of an innocent part } '
divorced on scriptural grounds ,
was forbidden. The work done
by this church in sympathy with
labor was emphasized by a mass
meeting on Sunday , May 19 ,
when Jwo thousand members of
labor unions marched in a body ,

hall and joined with an audience
of equal size in listening to an
