missioner Booth-Tucker, the most
prominent officer in the forces In Amer

Omaha, Neb., April 6.-1'he first case
in Omaha in which a surgical operation
was successfully performed with the
aid of the X-rays occurred last evening
when doctors extracted a bullet which
had been located by means of a Roent-
gen photograph taken by Prof. Turner
Of the Omaha high school,
The patient was John Felic, a 12-year-
old boy, and the operation was of such
nature that it would have been very
serious without this aid.
About two weeks ago the boy was ac,
ridentally shot. The ball entered the
palm of the left hand. Owing to the
bony structure and tougA tissues of the
hand it practically impossible to locate
the bullet with n probe. Moreover, the
two arteries which cross the hand at
that point rendered an incision seri-
BUS matter unless the exact location of
the bullet was known. The X-rays in
nm hour produced perfect plate show
Ing the bullet, which was easily ex-
tracted.

New Orleans, La, April 6.--The
Olympic club, for many years the lead
ing sporting club in the country and be-
fore which have occurred many pugil-
istlc events by which championships
were decided, has voted to llquidate
and disband, being unable to prevail
against the popular opposition TO pugl-
lism.
A few years ago the Olympic had a
membership of 1000, splendid club
house and the finest arena in the coun-
try. Since the legislative movements
against prize fighting and the decision
of the Louisiana courts that glove con-
tests are Illegal, the club has been on
the wane and it was finally decided to
close up, being unable to meet expenses.

Antagonists.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, June 13.-The en-
thusiasm of the citizens of Santa Cruz and
the large number OF visitors here over the
assured success of the water carnival Is
very gratifying to the Carnival Associa-
ton. The streets were thronged by people
to-night, and at 8 o'clock the sidewalks of
Pacific avenue were almost impossible to
pedestrians coming uptown. The crowd
was going to the carnival grounds, where
the spectators witnessed the Lighting up
of the throne and electric canopy and
watched the rehearsal of the sham battle
between the Monitor and the MerIimac.
A thousand or more people passed through
the gates to witness the preliminaries.
Ih throne which will be occupied by
Queen Josephine was brilliant in yellow
and white, with hundreds of incandescent
lights artisticallY arranged, and was a
pretty contrast to the dark background of
green foliage which stood out black
against the star-decked sky. To the right
OF the throne, as viewed from the arena,
the music-stand, with its electric display
overhead bidding welcome to the Santa
Cruz Water Carnival" was q source of
great attraction TO the visitors.
The movements of the Monitor and
Merrimac and the explosion of the mimic
guns caused an outburst of applause from
the people, and each change of position
was watched eagerly and applauded Wig
orously.

This afternoon another of Cooks men was
