The last few days of April wore all that saved the month's reputation as a period of rain and shower , and but for the precipitation of the last few days , the mouth would have been dry and below the average for a long number of years , but beginning with Monday night the weather man started in to redeem the reputation of the month and succeeded in placing it consid erably above the average.

SUCCESSFUL OPERATION. Methods of Dr. Lorenz of Viena Prove to be of Great Value. Prof. Adolph Lorenz , the famous Vienna surgeon , has returned to this country to remove the casts from the patients operated upon for congenital dislocation of the hip joint during his recent visit , some of which were wit nessed by Dr. P. H. Salterof this city. In not a single case was the operation a failnro. The cramped condition in which the limbs Imvo been held by the cast and the bindings for the past five mouths prevented the children from walking at once and when they do walk they have a slight limp , which wears away as the unused muscles stieugthou with exercise. Dr. Loreuz will remain in Chicago for several weeks , during which time ho will give the Armour child massage treatment that will hasten her recovery , but he announces that he will perform no now operations.

The temperature did not warm appreciably during yesterday and last night thcro was another freeze placing a thin scum of ice over standing water and Hlightly freezing the surface of the ground. This morning the wind was from the south , but continued cold and cheerless during the day. The freeze hist night probably completed the damage to grow ing things , and especially to fruit , that was not accomplished by the blizzard and the freeze of the night following. Some snow waa still in evidence today in shady places where the sun was not able to exert its whole influence toward removal. It is probable that some of the fruit ImB not yet boon damaged owing to its late development. That in blossom and fully budded is certainly damaged be yond recall , but some of the late buds may yet develop. Garden stuff and crops do not appear to bo greatly injured , having apparently been protected by the warmth of the soil and the moisture , still the full re sults of the freeze will not bo apparent until the atmosphere is thoroughly warmed. The chilly weather has un doubtedly served to protect rather than damage vegetation , for if the sun had shown hot immediately following the freeze it would assuredly have created inestimable injury. The weather fore cast is for fair and warmer and it is to bo hoped that the warmth will come before another chance is afforded for a freeze tonight. The telephone company succeeded in making connections with Stantou this afternoon at 2:30 : , which is the first out side town to be restored to telephonic communication and the only ono yet connected. A gang of linemen under Harry Wright was started out toward Sioux City this morning bat only suc ceeded in repairing a mile and a quarter of the line during the forenoon , which indicates the condition of the toll linos. The Western Union telegraph com pany secured connections with Omaha this afternoon for the first time siuco the storm. Norfolk , having boon isolated for more than two days , will appreciate getting ting in touch with the world again. BATTLE CREEK. John Ray of Valley was' hero on busi ness Monday.
