Ing. Tho physicians who have been
attending him were called into con
suKntlon.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 15. Althougl
Iuiir Leopold's condition is improv
inpr todnj-, it was stated scmi-official-
ly that tbo improvement cannot bo
nioro than temporary. During the
operating the surgeons found n sort
of paralyses of the intestines which
they stated eventually would necessi
tote another operation.
The attitude of tho public toward
the stricken king continues one of
indifference. Littlo more than cas
ual interest and curiosity is displayed
concerning the reports from the mon
arch's bedside.
Tho former Crown Princess Ste
phnni, who is now tho Countess Lou
nyn, is expected to arrive at the
palace today. It is thought she will
be received by her father, the king,
from whom she has long been es
tranged.

TROLLEY BADLY
(Continued from pax Tl)
ASTORIA, Or., Dec. 15. P. J.
Brix, owner of the Grays Bay Log
ging company, bns purchased the
Coulmbin mill at Knappton, built
many years ago by the Simpson Lum
ber company. While the considera
tion has not been made public it is
believed to havo been in the neighbor
hood of $100,000.
Tho mill will be operated continu
ously bv its new owner, about 50,000
feet of timber being cut daily.
Brix is one of the largest produc
ers of logs in the Columbia river dis
trict and owns thousands of acres
of the finest timber in the world. He
is now interested with a San Fran
cisco firm that operates steam
choonors and has lumber yards in
Hint and other California cities.
"When a man comes along with the
ability to command the capital to in
augurate big enterprises, I believe
in giving him all the reasonable con
cessions possible," is another's opin
ion. A third was of the opinion that
whatever increased the taxable prop
erty of tho city a good thing to have
abont. "Tho street railway must pay
taxes," ho said, 'Its presence will
enhance the value of our property,
that will increase the valuation. In
creased valuation will bring the levy
down; wo wqill havo n bigger terri
tory to draw our supplies and trade
from. A business man is short
sighted, it seems to me, who did not
voto for tho amendment."
PHOENIX, Arir., Dee. 15. Pro
longed shrieks of a morphiuo fiend
in n room uenrby roused Charles Nel
son who has slumbered 100 hours,
from his long sleep. Nelson soon af
terward was toblo to talk and today
scorns to bo recovering.
Tho dootors who proviously diag
nosed his easo ns tho African sleep
ing sickness, are now inclined to
look upon Nelson ns tho victim of
"unconscious hypnutisni."
From tho few words dragged out
of him it was lenmcd that Poison was
n sailor as published and he -lm
never been out of Arizona sinco tbo
arrival from Sweden, no cnuio to
this territory fivo years ago and has
been iu tho employ of Nol. Petersen,
a wealthy Tempo fanner, ever since.
' Tho man was rcmovod from tho
county jail yesterday and yns taken
to n sanitarium outside tho city on
orders from Petersen.
Soon after Nelson began his sleep,
the dootors made n microscopal ex
amination of his blood. Disorgnn
isms, similnr to those enrried by the
Tsotzo fly, was discovered and it was
concluded that ho was afflicted with
the "sleeping sickness" which al
ways ends in death.
County Physician Tnfcl believes
that Nelson is suffering from pros
suro on tho brain. This hns been
known to produco n condition which
is known ns unconscious hypnotism.
