TERRo.s or APPENDICITIS.


THE prevalence. or supposed rreva-
lencc of appendicitis nowadays" said
Or. Edward j. Howell. OF New York,
"is simply due to the fact that the pro-
fossion has discovered that this disease
Is the cause of nearly all the cases OF
Inflammation of the bowels. or periton-
tits, MS Il is called. Practically there is
no case Of peritonitis, in the male Mt
least. that Is not caused by inilamma ton
of the appendix. What happens when
we have these attacks is that concre-
tion or solid pieces Of focces get engag-
ed In the little body that is situated at
the junction of the large and small
bowels. This interferes with the circula-
ton, the little body swells, ulcerates.
and some of the contents of the ntes-
final canal get. outside through the ul-
cerated hole. An abscess commonly
results. If this becomes incisted or To-
called the patients chances Of recovery
are good. either by an operation or the
abscess making It's way to the surface
or toward the interior of the bowel. and
he gets we'll without any operation be-
yond, perhaps. opening the abscess.
"Frequeutly the abscess becomes diff
fused and breaks into the peritoneal
cavity and the patient almost invariably
dies These latter cases can only he
saved by an early operation. The point
on which the public should be Informed
is that the early symptoms, cramps,
vomiting, rigidity of the abdomen, etc,
should always be regarded seriously.
Appendicitis is essentially surgical dis
ease. amenablc to surgical treatment
only in grave cases. The mild cases get
well anyway. Every attack leaves the
patient subject to another.
''The most favorable statistics OF the
ailment are in cases whore the opera
ton is performed between attacks, the
mortality in those cases being less than
per cent The mortality in those
cases which result in general peritonitis
is as high as Is per cent. What IL needed
is early recognition of the trouble and
quick operation before it progresses to

Our genial friend, Mr.. G. II. Jen-

day evening to have lite celebrating
at his home. The occasion was his
sixty-fifth birthday, and his forty-fifth
anniversary as an American citizen.
He invited in several guests, and they
spent the evening most pleasantly.
Several very nice presents We're left
as mementos of the occasion.
Joel Dayton showed his feed-cook-
er and tank-heater on the street Satur-
day, in box made of plank that
would hold l24 bushels; and cooked
oats very nicely. The cooker and
tank-heater is very much improved.
There was new patent issued Nov.
10, 1895 on the improvement. 1t is
just what every farmer needs. Espec-
tally this year as oats and potatoes are
so cheap they can be cooked and make
great saving.

The ladies of the city are preparing
treat in the presentation of the "Fes-
tival of Days" which will be rendered
some day next week, the time not be-
ing definitely fixed as yet. 1t will be
a beautiful presentation of each
day of the week, by means of
booths, where articles of every des-
criptiOn will be sold, each booth con-
tanning novelties representing the
household duties of their respective
days. Good music will be furnished
during the evening.
The Leora Lane Comedy Company
has been playing all this week at
Steyer's opera house, to fairly good
audiences. They have one of the best
repertoire companies that has played
at Steyers for long time, and the
audiences which have listened to them
express a high degree of satisfaction.
Their dancer is exceptionally good,
and seldom appears without hearty
encore. The pianist is also above the
average. They play again tonight and
tomorrow afternoon and evening.
1t is curious how writers will some
times tell almost the same story, or de-
scribe the same character, and yet
neither be guilty of plagiarism. In
Clay Clements "New Dominion"
there is finely drawn character of
passionate, uneducated Mountain girl,
which reminds one forcibly of Amelie
Rives Chambers strong story called
"Tanis, the Sang Digger" and yet
when the author of "The New Domin-
ion" conceived this part, he had never
heard of Mrs. CHAMBERS lannon's book.
Clay Clement Is booked to appear
here shortly in new high class come
dy of his own writing entitled 1.-THE
New Dominion" Mr.. Clement is well
known for his work in heavier roles.
In this new play of his, Mr.. Clement
will assume the part of German bot
anist, whose wanderings through Vir-
ginia in search of rare specimens,
bring him i'm contact with all the ele-
ments of love and chivalry that haunt
those Southern hills. When he APP
pears here Mr.. Clement Will be sup
ported by strong company of players
under the management of Mr.. Joseph
Adelman.
People should turn out i'm force next
week when Mr.. Clement will present
his new play "The New Dominion" at
the Grand opera house, supported by a
fine company of comedy players.
This play is comedy, the work of
Mr.. Clement himself, and is valuable
mainly for the opportunity it gives its
author to appear in IA new role radi-
cally unlike anything he has hitherto
undertaken. AS Baron Victor Won
Hohenstauffen he gives portrayal of
gentleman that is true to life. His
struggles with the English language
are those of an educated man who
speaks in English and thinks i'm Ger
man. His accent is perfect and his de-
velopement of the character delight
fully natural. This conviction grows
stronger as the play proceeds and be-
fore the end of the performance the
spectator is charmed with the thought
and skill shown by Mr.. Clement.
