Operated Successfully for Appendicitis.
From Tuesdays Edition.
Probably the first operation for ap-
pendicitis ever undertaken in the Black
Hills was performed by DIR. G. w. Har-
gems assisted by DIR. Adams and w. r.
Castle in this city last evening. James,
the twelve year old son of H. B. Moore,
who recently moved here from Gresh-
am, Neb., had been lying quite sick for
a week or longer, but they did not con-
slider him dangerous enough to call a
physician till yesterday. DR.. Hargens
at once apprised the parents of the
boys dangerous condition and they
at once consented to an operation as
the only means of saving his life. This
was at o'clock and in an hour the
surgeons were OH hand to commence
the work. On cutting open the abdo-
domen a large pus cyst, the enlarged
appendicula, presented itself and sep
tic indications prominent. When an
incision was made into it the pus was
discharged with graat force. Great
care had to be taken, for if one drop of
pus had found its way into the abdom.
! inal cavity it meant death. The pa
tient was under the anesthetic 40 min
utes, recovered from the shock nicely.
his temperature fell from 1041ls to 1O1 y
and pulse from 100 to Ss; He passed q
comfortable night, good drainage has
set in and the patient has excellent
chances for recovery. 1t was very
delicate and difficult operation and re
fleets great credit OH the attending
surgeons.

"A Change at the Evans.

The STAR sincerely regrets to have to
chronicle the fact that Dinner Broth
ers have concluded to give up the man
agement of the Evans. This move is
not made from any want of confidence
in the town or any unpleasantness that
might have occurred between them and
the proprietor of the hotel, for their
relations have been most genial and
pleasant. The conclusion was forced
upon them on account of busi-
ness matters away from Hot Springs.
Mr.. Dinner and his excellent wife leave
Hot Springs with the greatest regret as
they are in love with our town. They
have made hosts of friends who are
sorry to see them go, not the least of
whom is Mr.. Evans and family. Mr..
Dinner has thoroughly demonstrated
his ability as u hotel man sin CO he
came to this place in such Il manner as
to call forth unstinted praise from all
who have stopped there. Mr.. Winkler,
the head waiter, stands right in the
front rank in that position and he has
had numerous compliments. They are
quite busy packing up their goods and
will leave in few days for Kansas and
will take charge of one of the eating
houses along the line of the Rock Is
land in that state. The good wishes of
all their acquaintances go with them.
Mr.. Evans has taken hold again and
everything is going along without the
slightest friction.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE DEFEATED.
Black Hills Members Very Angry and
Seeking Revenge.

Very
Seeking Revenge.
PIERRE, s. D., Feb. 19.-(Special to
the Ree.)-The practical defeat of
woman suffrage today has enraged the
Black Hills members who we're push
ing the bill, and they now declare that
they will revenge themselves by defeat
ing the divorce bill, in which Sioux
Falls and other towns are interested.
A strong fight is being made on the
bill and petitions are pouring in daily
demonstrating against it. Still the
managers claim they can carry it.
The house today began work with a
rush, suspending all bills. The most
important bill to come up during the
day was the woman's ssuffrage resolution
which had been postponed until 800.
Gold, at that time, moved to take up
the bill. Glass resisted the attempt,
stating that last week Gold had simply
moved to postpone until today, but did
not specify in his motion that the bill
should be special order, consequent
". it could not be reached except under
a suspension of the rules, requiring a
two-thirds vote. This was new point
and against precedents pursued by the
house since the opening of the session,
but Speaker Howard held that the
point was good, and as the vote on the
proposition stood 80 to 81, it was lost
and the bill goes back into general
orders, where it may not be reached
again this session.
The school book law, which it has
been freely charged contained a big
steal, was reported favorably by the
committee by unanimous vote. Wilson
at once moved to indefinitely postpone
it, and Notwithstanding Colds plea for
time the motion carried by vote of So
%.
The census bill passed unanimously
and the house refused to back the
senate in cutting the appropriation in
two. Douglas bill reducing the rate
of interest to ten per cent, and Leach's
bill appropriating 10000 acres of land
to the Normal school at Springfield,
passed.
The game bill, creating a game and
fish warden, drew out long and hot
discussion, Aplin and Pease favoring it
and lothian and MCGEE opposing it.
It was postponed on a tie vote.
A petition was introduced by Craw-
ford ordering an investigation of
irregularities alleged to have taken
place in Lawrence county several
years ago. Lothian's bill authorizing
the trustees of Brookings Agricultural
college to hold farmers institutes,
Chambers bill repeating the tree
bounty, and Boyce's bill making hotel
keepers liable for lost property all
passed.

.tical irrigation. Some of the best
speakers of the Hills will be present to
address the convention. Let us have
such a gathering of the farmers and
practical business men of the Black
Hills as shall voice the sentiment of
the people on this important question.
Come and let us work together to lift
up, build up and make more fruitful
the land in which we live, thereby pro-
noting the prosperity of all the people.

.CALKINs IN THE TOLLS.
Israel Goes Too Far and Sells Firewate,
to the Redskins.
TAKEN By MARSHAL BRAY.
Under an Indictment 1sy the U. s. Grand
Jury and Will BE Taken to
Dca,lwool for Trial.

From Tuesdays Edition.
Some time ago when we took occa-
sion to call DIR. Cheney to account for
some of his alleged malpractice the
STAR stated it was on the trail of some
other open violators of the law and i'm
moral persons and it has been hard
after them ever since. We have been
in correspondence with the authorities
ever since and now have the satisfac-
tion of seeing old Israel Calkins in the
clutches of the United States court.
The charge is that of selling liquor to
certain Indian witnesses who were
brought here on the preliminary eX-
aminations of criminal cases. The
witnesses who testified before the
grand jury in the matter are Philip
Romero and White Bird, and Marshal
Bray tells us there are number of
others he can easily. secure who
will testify against Calkins. Marshal
Bray, who has always been untiring in
his efforts to bring violators of the law
to justice, came in today and placed
Calkins under arrest. He is now in
the county Jail and will be taken to
Deadwood tomorrow morning for trial.
Calkins has been an eyesore to the
community ever since he struck the
town and has been engaged in all kinds
of crookedness. He is now attempting
to run a house of prostitution in Cold
brook and his unhallowed influence
has been responsible for the ruination
of more than one young girl. So far
he has been allowed to go on in his
crookedness with scarcely any inter-
ference, but we believe now he is in a
boat that will carry him to where he
rightly belongs. We sincerely hope the
town is etfectually rid of the old repro
bate as he is dangerous person to
have in the community.

Those familiar with tho Fables of Asop" will remember tlio reputation which Reynarl bcars among the rest of the animals. It is questionable whether any wild creature can. compete with the fox ill craftiness. To look at him gen orally, ovon ill his ordinary habits, he exhibits all amount of cleverness which astonishes one. Should a fox catch q hedgehog, whose spines effectually pro tect him from most of his enemies, he does not waste time, as a fox terrier will do, ill endeavoring to worry his prey. He merely rolls him to the near est water, knowing that q drop or two will cause the animal to relax his hold.
 It is rare thing to catch one in 8 trap laid at the door of his earth

Veterinarians Say They Know of No Ob- jection to Its Use.
 "Shall we cat horse?' is question which Q Philadelphia newspaper has been putting to leading veterinarians. While none of them answered squarely in the affirmative, there was general concurrence ill the opinion that horse meat makes rather good eating at a pinch. Francis Bridge said, "The flesh is as nutritious and in flavor as good as that of the bovine, and l see no good reason to interdict it's use as human food" w. l.. Zuill declared that he would eat it in preference to pork. It is more juicy and of better flavor than OK flesh, 1" he said. S. J. J.
