Remarkable Operation by Elec-

tells of remarkable operation per-
formed by a physician of that place.
A gentleman who had been suffering
from a superabundance of adipose It's
sue consulted physician, asking for
relief from his burden. The doctor
told him he could relieve him, if he
would consent to painful operation.
The gentleman consented, and with
the medical practitioner entered the
telegraph office at this place. The fat
man was requested to remove his
coat and vest, after which the
physicivn surrounded him with wires,
attaching the end to powerful gal
vanic battery. At signal from the
doctor, Manager W. B. Eddy let on
the current The patient writhed and
twisted when he felt the current pass
ing around him, yet he stood it like a
martyr. Presently he began to shrink ;
he grew smaller and smaller; his cloth
ing hung in bags about his fast dimin
ishing form. The doctor felt much
pleased at the result of his experiment,
while the formerly fat mans joy was
very great, although he seemed to be
suffering most acnte pain. All OF {
sudden there was a loud clickin e
at the instrument, as if Pandemeni-
um's great hall had been let loose
The operator sprang quickly to an

At HOme--A Few Words to Those
Whom 1t May Concern.

Each succeeding day shows the in
terest in the Woman's Whisky War to
be increasing in this city, and it is
probable that at no very distant period
the war will be brought home to Chill
icothe. The ladies are holding meet
ings, the clergy are at work, and when
the women rise it will be in such force
and with such determination that will
effectually stop the pooh pooling of
those in the whisky interest, and it will
set at rest the doubts of all who think
that the women of Chillicothe
have not the courage to commence the
crusade.
It is also equally well known that the
whisky sellers have organized, and
that they intend to make list of the
men whose wives or relatives engage
in the movement, and then do their
best to injure the business Of all such
men.
Right here, let us say to the saloon
keepers: You have gone step too
far for your own good. This old trick
of holding the threat of with
drawal of patronage from business
men, in case they do so-and-so, has
been played once too often!
We are willing to admit that bust
ness men heretofore have, in many
places, shown spirit of fear of those
who deal in whisky which is not to the
credit of the former; but we imagine
that the time e0iU come--and we hope
it has come-when business men will
express their sentiments when and how
they please, regardless of what mel
, engaged in an illegal traffic may say OF
do. The presumption of pack o
whisky sellers in assuming to dictate
to other men what their wives shall
and shall not do, will, we predict
prove the straw that will break tn
came's back, and arouse spirit o
indignation which will produce direct
ly the opposite effect from that antici
pated.-[ Chillicothe Register, 21st nj
