ACCORDING to n foreign correspon-
dent, English surgeons have devised a
new and bcneticent operation by which
the sheath of the optic nerve behind
the eye is opened, and not only is the
pressure upon the nerve removed, and
total, or almost total, blindness cured,
but the brain itself is relieved. The
membranes which infest the brain, and
are continued down to the eye in the
form of a sheath which surrounds the
optic nerve. secrete a certain amount
of fluid, and whenever there is an ex-
cess of this secretion, or by other
means, a by the growth of n brain
tumor, the pressure within the cavity
of the brain is increased, n Super
abundance of fluid is apt to find its way
down the nerve sheath to the level of
the eye, subjecting the optic nerve to
Injurious pressure, and frequently
destroying the sight. This blindness
may be permanent, even though the
pressure i'll the brain cavity which
causes it he only temporary and be
cured. DIR. Dewecker. of Paris, sixteen
or seventeen years ago, suggested that
it was possible to open the optic-nerve
sheath, and thus not only to relieve the
nerve from pressure, but also to drain
the brain cavity and relieve the brain
pressure. He made two experiments
in this line upon two nearly hopeless
cases, but he tried to feel his way to
the nerve without the aid of sight, and
to cut the sheath by means of an in
strnment CARRYING a concealed knife
which was projected by means of
a spring. Only one other attempt of
this sort was made. and the results not
being satisfactory, the experiments were
dropped until last ,ycar. DIR. Brude-
nell Carter, of London. devised a
method of operating 10y which the
sheath was exposed to view, and every
step of the operation was guided by
the surgeons eye. LII a paper read be.
fore the British Medical Association Mt
its recent meeting at Glasgow, Doctor
Carter told of four cases in which he
had performed the operation. In one
the result was negative, SO far as the
sight was concerned; in the other
three the patients were not only quick
ly restored to sight, hut were relieved
or cured of headache and sickness
arising from pressure on the brain.
DIR. Carter claims that the new opera
ton could he performed with certainty
and without risk either to life OF to any
important structure.

Terminated Fatally.

A prize fight was arranged Friday night
between George Fulljames. of Winnipeg.
and an unknown, who was backed by local
sporting men. AT 2 o'clock Sunday morn
ing a large crowd went to IL barn. in which
IL ring was pitched, to witness the battle.
Tue contestants shook hands and the
fight began. Almost instantly after the
unknown struck Fulljames 1. blow on the
temple. which knocked him to the floor.
He soon recovered, and staggering to his
feet started to continue the fight. The
men went ut each other %viciouslv. and
Fulljames received several hard blows on
the face.
The fight was n brutal one throughout.
and the unknown finally landed II blow
over Fulljumes' heart that laid him fiat.
He was left unattended on the barn floor
until q o'clock in the morning. At that
time u doctor called and had him removed,
but it was too late to save his life. He
gradually grew worse. and died during te
afternoon.
The police commenced an investigation.
and soon arrested IL man who gave his
name as Barrett. He declared his inno-
ccncc, and said he knew nothing of the
fight.
Sunday afternoon, white the police were
down town. some one broke the lock on
the station-house doorand allowed Barrett
and several other prisoners to csca,,c.
Diligent search had failed to find Barrett.
and it is generally believed that he is the
man who killed Fulliames. A %coroners
inquest was held Sunday night. but there
was great difficulty in securing witnesses.

The New Liquor Law.

The new law for the regulation of the
sale of liquors by druggists goes into
effect October l. Under it druggists who
desire to sell liquors must make applica-
tion to the district court. which applica-
ton must be signed BY a certain number
of responsible citizens. Twenty-six of
these applications anne before Judge
Given at Des Moines last week. and
twenty-four of them We're rejected be-
cause the signers had not complied with
the law in reading what they signed. Only
one of the forty-nine signers of one APP

applications will not be heard in these
cases until the sitting of a new court in
january. All old permits expire by lilni-

not n single druggist i'll Des Moines will
