known citizen of this place. For
months Mr. "Wright has complained
of a sore on his tongue which for a
time he thought was occasioned by
a rough projection on one of his
eeth, and as a means of arresting
the trouble, he had the tooth ex
tracted. But all to no purpose, as
the sore still continued on his
tongue. Some two weeks ago, how
ever, it began to rapidly increase in
size and at the same time was ac
companied with intense pain; and
about this time, too, his physicians
here announced their belief that the
trouble was due to cancerous forma
tion. Upon this discovery, he at
once decided to visit D;-. Britts, of
Clinton, who enjoys the reputatin of
being one of the most eminent sur
geons of this part of the state. Af
ter an examination, this gentleman
also concurred in the opinion that
the trouble was caused by cancer,
and he further decided that the case
was so serious that he would not at
tempt an operation. In obedience
to his direction, Mr. Wright left on
the following day for St. Louis, and
after consulting with some of the
most eminent surgeons of that city.
it was finally decided to remove the
tongue as the only means of arrest
ing the terrible malady. As the can-
cer was well back on the tongue,
this involved a most serious and
dangerous operation. An incision
was made across the throat almost
from ear to ear, and then another
was made at right angles to this ex
tending from the chin downward,
and through the aperture thus made
his toniruo was drawn out and am
putated. The? physicians entertain
ed but little hope that their patient
would survive the terrible ordeal,
but at last accounts he had rallied
and was doing as well as could be
expected under the circumstances.
It is needless to say that the family
of the afflicted man has almost been
prostrated with grief at this great
and terrible affliction. The patient
is in one of the hospitals of St. Lou
is, and in the event that he recovers
it will be a number of weeks before
he will be able to return home.

New York. April (J. Jacob Sharp
died at .:20 o'clock last night,
aged 71.
The trial of Jacob Sharp for brib
ery will remain one of the celebrated
cases of the country. After a hotly
contested legal battle a verdict of
guilty was returned by the jury for
bribery of New York aldermen of
the board of 18S0 to secure the pas
sage of the Broadway surface rail
way frauchise. The turning of state's
evidence by ex-Alderman Jaehne and
conviction of ex-Alderman Cleary
and others turned the tide against
the venerable defendant, who had
defied the law under the impression
that there was no punishment for
bribery. The presecution of district
attorner Martime before Judge Bar
rett and a jury and the stubborn de
fense made by Sharp attached extra
prominence to the trial.
Sentence was deferred through the
efforts to obtain a new trial, uutil
July 14, 1SS7, when Jacob Sharp,
accompanied by his w ifo and sou-iu-law,
appeared before Judge Barrett.
He was sentenced to four years in
the penit entiary at hard labor and a
fine of 85,000 for the crime of bri
bery in New York.
Sharp was taken to Sing Sing,
from where he was recently released
through the strenuous efforts of his

Spring Medicine.
The necessity of a spring medi
cine is almost universally admitteel.
And the superiority of Hood's Sar-
saparilla for the purpose becomes
more anel more widely known every
year. That power to purify the
blood, and those elements of health
anel strength which the system
craves, and to which it is so suscept
ible at this season, are possessed by
this peculiar medicine in a pre-eminent
degree. Scrofula, pimples, boils,
or auy humor, billiousness, dyspep
sia, sick headache, catarrh, rheuma
tism, or auv iliseases or affections
caused or promoted by impure blood
or low state of the system, are cured
by Hood's Sarsapaiilla. Tit the
peculiar medicine.
I have a ranch of 81.000 acres on
the Marias Des Cygn? river. This
most entire vein of coal anywhere
on the border, the entire country be
ing underlaid with splendid coal,
and a great deal of it, at a depth
which will admit of stripping, while
all of the hills and ridges offer splen
elid places for drifting.
Coal in this country has been
mined for several years for local
. nit
trade, but since the coming 01 the
railroad the superior quality of the
coal has opened up for itself a ele.
maud, which for the winter just
assed, was far in excess of the abil
ities of the dealers to supply, on ac
count of the mines not being openeel
anel in shape for mining until the
bad weather came, but from the
amount of shipping now under con
tract anel in contemplation anel the
drifts being opened, Worland will,
without doubt, ship more coal the
coming fall and winter than has ever
been shipped from one place in the
county, (with the possible exception
of Rich Hill.)
Mr. D. L. Robinson, formerly of
Archie, Mo., has a fine stock of dry
goods, groceries and drugs, besides
dealing extensively in coal.
Our genial and well known friend
John Lewis also has a nice stock of
dry gooels. Chas. Barrack has done
a slashing black smithing business,
while father Moore has had more
patronage for his hotel than he can
accommodate.
We are having fine weather at
present which is greatly needed as
the fanners were becoming very anx
ious to begin work and the ground
Las been too wet for work.
Mr. J. S. Franklin recently ship
ped in a car load of very fine mules,
which he will use in coal work, by
the war, he has been one of the most
active coal workers, having stripped
a great deal and is preparing to han
dle an enormous amount-
