\ FATAL MISTAKE.

4HE CCSUeCOTtCt \OHlo) 1858,
of February 23d, 1888, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease Of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
In attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement Of the digestion,
with poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as
faint call gone" sensation,
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain In the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DIR.
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perrier, DIR.
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
In few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of q
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration (fol
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
iRooTs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, remedy made ex
.pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi
gestion, has restored many sucl
cases to perfect health after al
other kinds Of treatment have
failed. The evidence of it
efficacy in curing this class o
cases is too voluminous to b,
published here; but those wh'
read the published evidence IL
favor of this dyspeptic remed,,
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has al
extensive sale.

OUR CHICAGO MARKET REPORT.

CHICAGO, Juno 8, 1856.
heavy volume of business was tram
sacted the last of the week with prices
rather easy. Foreign markets remain
steady and eastern markets are rather
quiet. Wheat is active and prices a
shade higher, but the market is rather
unsettled and nervous; the fact is,
neither foreign nor home markets have
yet responded to the advance here.
Corn is moderately active and prices
steady. Oats show increasing activity,
and prices doing better Rye and bar
ley are still dull. Green fruit sells
slowly at easy prices. Vegetables in
fair request, and steady. Butter in
better demand and prices higher.
The fat cattle market is steady and
prices about the same Buyers are
numerous and the supply is about equal
to the demand. AS soon as cattle are
fat and lit for beef they should be sent
forward, as it is with grass beef as with
early vegetables and fruit--the first in
the market bring the best prices. Hogs
are in good request and prices 5 cents
higher.
Sheep are fairly active at firmer
prices. The money market is steady
with moderate demand ait the usual
rates. Freights are littiEe unsteady.

On last Monday, about five o'clock.
little Philo Haskell, son of Mr.. Haskell
who lately moved into PlattevilIe, was
drowned while bathing in the river only
few yards below Virgins mill. 1t
seems that Philo and his little brother
went down to the stream to swim, and
just before going into the water Philo
remarked to his brother that he felt like
he was going to have one of his fits.
He had been subject to fits for num-
Der of years. His little brother tried
topersuade him not to go into the water.
but he did not heed the warning. He
went in. The water was about five feet
deep, and he had been in only few
moments when he was taken with fit
and began to scream. The little brother
on the bank cried for help to some
women not far off, and they in turn
shouted to the people at the mill. Col.
ID. II. Virgin heard them and ran as
quickly to the place as possible, but
could see nothing of the unfortunate
boy. He went into the river and
searched until he found the boy, and
laid him on the bank. Aid was at hand
but it was too late; he was dead. Jus.
tice w. Ii. Peck impaneled a jury and
held an inquest, and verdict in &C.
cordance with the facts above stated,
was rendered Philo was ten wears old
and very bright. intelligent boy, and
his sad death has cast a gloom over the
entire community.

The steam saw-mill here owned and

have established a local agency here for
the sale of their machinery. Mr.. o. M.
LOOMS acts as their representative.
Thomas Tomas, of Fennimore, has
engaged the services of G. A. Lance.
who is ever ready to show farmers the
good qualities of their machines, so that
everybody can be accommodated with
out going off to other towns.
Here is good opening for some en-
terprising blacksmith with only moder-
ate means to build up a good trade. G.
A. Lance, our present blacksmith, wish
es to sell or rent his shop and dwelling,
and would give immediate possession
to the right kind of man.

Georgetown is not going to be left in

Not long ago man named Riley

What has become of our grand.
glorious Fourth of July celebration ?
has some one stolen it or is it gently

A Thrilling Adventure.

Versatility as a rule is a weakness.
There are few who have achieved dis
tinction in more than one direction. The
world has produced few whose talents
were SO versatile that they seemed to be
in the right place wherever they may
happen to be; and one of these rare in
dividuals is G. 0. Richards. This young
gentleman is deeply read in the law, is
an accomplished speaker, can pronounce
with equal facility either sermon or a
philippe. He is a ready and graceful
writer and poet of no mean preten-
slons. He is also musician of the
very first order Added to all these ac-
complishments, as an oarsman Hanlan
can claim no superiority. He recently
visited the Elmo fish ponds and with him
came four of Platteville's most beautiful
maidens, who came to enjoy boat-ride
on the mighty deep, and also to witness
| and glory in the prowess of the aforesaid
q. o. Il. as an oarsman. The boat in
which the brilliant party embarked was
not built for speed, but for absolute safe
ty. 1t was a short fiat-bottomed, fishing
boat. Two of the fair damsels occupied
seat in the bow of the boat and two in
the stern, while the athletic oarsman oc-
cupied the seat amidship. With long and
graceful sweep of the oar the boat glided
from the shore. The oars moved with
the precision and regularity of pendu-
lum. The fair occupants of the boat
were filled with admiration for the
gallant oarsman as he bent to his more
than willing task. The oarsman told his
fair companions he would show them
some speed, so he nerved himself to the
task. He braced his feet, the muscles of
his arms and back laid out like whip
cords. He reached forward, intending
to give the boat tremendous lift with
the oars, but unfortunately he failed to
dip the oars in the water and the next
moment he found himself with his head
pretty near the toes of the occupants of
one end of the boat, and his toes in
dangerous proximity to the noses of
| those in the other end of the boat. There
| happened to be about an inch of water
in the boat and the rowers go-to-metin'
clothes looked the worse for wear. One
OF the fair ones suggested that they
spread the rover out on a board to dry.
Another said they had better hang him
on the wire fence. The oarsman righted
himself and at the next stroke broke an
oar. Here was dilemma could not
scull, and there was no wind to blow
them ashore. The fair ones were be-
coming frightened; the gallant oars
man was equal to the occasion. With
his remaining oar he felt for the bottom.
and found the water to be about five feet
deep. He said he would get out and
push the boat ashore. One of the occu-
pants of the boat tied the boat rope
around the pushers neck to keep him
from drowning if he got into deep water.
This new kind of a propeller, or stern
wheeler, with the motive power lowed
by lady, finally reached shore in safe
ty. The last seen of G. 0. r. he was
making pair of John Fawcett's fast
horses get up and dust for Platteville.
