Off the water wagon again dream in a champagne isle
A humorous drift in the Chicago Record-Herald imagines an isle of cracked ice and a lake of champagne with mint juleps and pousse cafe. The dream ends with a brutal wake as sobriety returns and the narrator feels sick and disoriented from last night’s revels. The tale blends imagery of absinthe and highballs with a grim stumble to reality. The second item recounts a hotel guest dodging bills at the Gerard Hotel with promises to pay and graphic sign tale about guests who fail to settle accounts. A separate Des Moines dispatch reports a Methodist minister planning a dramatic Christian Science test involving lethal pills to provoke debate, risking his life if challenged.

Remarkable spinal surgery at Medico-Chirurgical Hospital
Dr Ernest Place performed a delicate operation on a 60 year old patient with a broken back and paralysis.
