among the mombers of the medical profess
SION The disease was due to growth in
the liver, in the present instance, of a fungus
or germ termed actinomycis, fine, high
colored, sand-like substance, which grows
with astonishing rapidity, developing
millions OF germs in a short time. The dis.
ease is extremely rare and is peculiar to cat.
tie aud swine.
Koch began to complain OF soreness over
the right region of the liver last February
and an examination by the leading physicians
revealed very peculiar sand-lke pellets in
the pus drained from the wound. Several
operations were performed, but pyaemia set
in, pneumonia followed and the patient died.
An autopsy showed the ravages of the fungi
TO be astonishing The whole left lobe was
gangrened and studded with myriads of
fungi. The liver was abnormally enlarged
to nine and one-half pounds. Koch was the
son of Andrew Koch, a wealthy brewer.
Only four cases Of the kind have occurred in
the Uuitcd States in one hundred years.

claring the necessity Of building viaduct
across the railroad tracks on Tenth street,

a full attendance of the committee. Too
little attention attaches to the matter. AS
the convention only nominates candidates
for one or two positions, it lacks in political
excitement and will probably not be held
until late. The only contest is between the
cities wanting the attraction. Lincoln, Has

rival points, with Lincoln first, Hastings
second and Fremont third in the race. The
names of Beatrice, Nebraska City, Grand
