TOM WATSON'S NEWSPAPER
He Leaves the Editorial Field for the
Stump.
Gentle Hint Was Probably Given
by the Chairman-A Tour
Arranged.

It was announced at popuiist headQuar-
ters today that Candidate Tom Watson had
placed himself, his campaign tour and his
official utterances entirely In the hands OF
the national committee. He has resigned
the editorship of his paper, it is stated.
and will not be responsible for whatever
appears in it from now on. This is regard
ed as somewhat significant. During the
period when the alleged interview of Chair
man Jones as to populists was being dis
cussed, Mr.. Watson got off some pretty
spicy editorials in his paper. He was en-
tirely premature in many things. it was
said, and 1t is believed that Chairman But
Ter gave him gentle hint that he had bet
ter curb his passions and not say so much
in his paper. At any rate, he is no longer
with the paper. and is now ready to go out
on the campaign.
WntsOn's Stumping Tour.
II am receiving calls from the west for
Watson every day." said Mr.. Butler today,
land he will begin his campaign at Dallas,
Texas. on Labor day. September Z. We
have not arranged the other dates for
places he will speak in the west. From
Dallas he will go into other states, and
turn to the south in time 20 make some
speeches in his own state before the elec-
ion takes place there in October"
Mr.. Watson will make more speeches in
Nebraska and Kansas than in any of the
other states. On his way back to Georgia
from the west he will speak in Arkansas,
probably at Prescott. He will also speak
at several places in Alabama. He will
spend the remainder Of his time in Geor-
gia until the election in that state.
Chairman Butler was asked by a Star re-
porter about Watson's appearance in the
east. He said that requests had been COM
ing in for speeches from Watson in various
eastern cities. He will not make any
speeches In the east until after the October
election In Georgia. Just after that he will
probably go to the extreme west for a few
days, as there is big demand for him in
Washington and other states. The las.
few days before the election will be spent
In the east. Watson will be sure to speak
in New York city.
The popullst managers say that there is
an erroneous impression of Watson in the
east, and they will be glad to have him ap
pear in some of the lar ger cities to dissi-
pate. II possible. that impression. They be-
Heve he will be able to do So
Will Talk Through Committees.
1t is also said that whatever Mr.. Watson
has to say about politics in the future will
be announced through the national COM
mittee. In other words, if he has anything
ohciai to communicate to the country it
viii first come through the national COM
mittee
Since the official statement made by us
mat Bryan ard Watson would be the
ticket said Chairman Butler, I'VE have
received responses from all over the coun-
try expressing qualification at our position.
They are from democrats of the south as
we'll as populists. The sentiment in favor
OF Watson is growing fast, much more
rapidly than 1 anticipated"

AN X RAY OPERATION.
A Bullet Supposed to BE Located Was
Not Found.

A Bullet supposed 10 lie LOC0teO W ua
Not Found.
An operation for the purpose of removing
bullet which it was supposed had been
located by the use Of the X rays was per-
formed this afternoon at Garfield Hospital
on Miss Maude Summers, aged nineteen
years, of Falls Church. Va, but the bullet
was not found. DR.. A. A. Snyder, who
conducted the operation, said that as there
was failure to get the ball the operation
might to that extent be considered unsuc-
cessful. Still he believed that some good
to the patient would result from it.
The anterior superior spine was opened
and an incision made which extended
downwards and backwards for about three
inches. The dissection was carried far
as the capsule, when 1t was ascertained
that the relation of the parts was con-
siderably altered by the pathological condi-
ton existing.
A thorough digital examination was then
made. and a second incision was deter
somewhat longer than the first, and the dis
section was carried down until the troch-
anter was thoroughly exposed, as was also
the neck of the pemur. 1t was at the lat
ter place that the x rays located a dark
object which was supposed to be the bull
let A thorough examination of the neck
of the femur disclosed the presence of
some dead bone and diseased tissues. which
we're removed. Some Of the attending sur
geons expressed the opinion that this was
what was shown by the x rays instead of
the bullet. and that the latter is encysted
in the feshy part Of the thigh.
At 1:45 pm, after the patient had been
on the table for an hour and forty minutes,
DR., Snyder decided that 1t would be use
less to proceed further to search for the
ball. and Miss Summers wounds were
dressed, and she was again placed in bed.
The patienf1 stood the operation remark

An Inaccurate rlind.

Candidate Bryan's constant use
OF Scriptural quotations shows an
evident purpose on his part to
appeal to the religious sentiment
OF the country; but his constant
laundering in quotations shows
that he is not as familiar with the
Bible as he Pretends to be. The
people who value the Scriptures
wish to see them quoted accurate
ly or not at all, and they will
rather suspect than put confidence
In a man who misquotes them. In
Mr.. Bryan's Buffalo speech hel
referred to men who "gather figs
fro':; thorns and grapes from
thistles." st. Matthew, vii, IS,
says: ''Do men gather grapes of
thorns or figs of thistles?" Mrs.
Bryan should keep her husband
better posted on the Bible. From

Frog Story for Bryanites

We think when the votes are

viii pan out about the same as
the mans S frogs. A countryman
wanted to sell dealer seven car
loads of frogs, but was informed
that they did not buy such large
quantities, but they would take
ten dozen. So the man agreed to
deliver them soon. A few davs
later he walked in and said he had
the frogs, but had only five in
stead of ten dozen. The dealer
wanted to know where the balance
were. The man explained that
there was pond near his house.
and from the amount of noise the
frogs made, he thought there must
be at least seven car loads in the
pond, but when he investigated he
found there were only five. The
free silver men are making lots of
noise, but we think the propor-
ton will be abou6 the same as the
frogs.-From Hardware.
