A Button in a Two Year
Old Baby's Windpipe
Photographed.
An Operation Was Performed,
but the Substance Could Not
Be Found.
II Had Worked Its Way Through the
Trachea and Lodged Against
the Eiophagus.

The X ray and the surgeons knife
have again been put 10 use in an attempt
to save a human life where death seemed
inevitable. Although the use of the in
struments of science was rewarded with
only partial success they served 10 alIay
to certain extent the fears OF the pa
TENTS anxious parents.
Two weeks ago the two-year-oId child of
Charles Amacker of Sacramento while
playing with an older brother accident
ally drew large tin button which he was
holding in his Mouth down into his wind
pipe. The button stopped at the blfnrca-
ton of the trachea, or where it divides
into the bronchial tubes.
The child was seized with q fit of cough
ing, but the button refused to be dis
lodged, and in a few hours the child was
suffering from severe inflam nation of the
bronchial tubes, making respiration ex-
ceedingly difficult and painful.
Several physicians were called and the
child was taken by the heels and shaken,
head downward. Vomiting and sneezing
were produced, but all efforts to dislodge
the button proved without avail, and the
child was removed to this City for treat
ment. The Daby was taken to the College
of Physicians and Surgeons, 818 Howard
street, and it was decided to make a
shadowgraph by means of the X ray, and
in case the button was located to operate.
Dr.. Depuy, assisted by one of the college
students. undertook the experiment of
making the shadowgraph. The child was
laid upon his back on large sensitized
plate, and after q towel had been placed
over the breast to protect the skin from
the rays the current was turned on. At
the end of six minutes the child was re-
moved and the plate developed. The first
part of the operation was success, as the
button showed plainly, apparently located
a little way down the right bronchial
tube. This fact justified an operation and
DR.. ]. r. Laine assisted by Drs. Southland,
HeaIy and Gardener, undertook to remove
the button.
The operation known as tracheotomy
was performed. As low as possible the
windpipe was opened and the surgeons
began their explorations for the button.
They used long forceps, but although fire.
quent attempts were made to locate the
foreign substance, they were unsuccessful.
A slight break in the trachea proved the
reasons of :he failure. The button had
liberated its way through the windpipe,
and presumably lodged against the
9sophagus. If it remains in its present
position, the physicians are confident that
it will become encysted, and if the child
RECEIVERS from the shock of the operation,
will cause no further trouble.

Several members of the gang were
laying for him between the two places

The problem of how to utilize the
vast quantities of mesquite beans that
grow on the prairies of the southwest,
has, it is believed, been solved. Num-
erous experiments at converting the
bean into a marketable commodity
have been productive of no permanent
results. A. j. Couley, manager of the
Luling cotton oil mill, believes he has
solved the problem. He had gathered
ton of mesquite beans and treated
them IN the same manner as cotton
seed. From the ton of beans he Sc
cured 161@ gallons Of clear, amber col
ored oil, very rich and with very pleas
ant, aromatic smell. The cake is dark
brown, quite oily and is eaten greedily

that the year when the crop is heavy
one is always a prosperous one for
Istockmen. This year the beans are
very plentiful, thousands of tons of
them falling from the traes and rotting.
e they could be saved in the shape Of
oil cake, there would be almost enough
to carry stock through the winter

The Arizona Daily Lyre says: The
two ungainly (but otherwise rationaD
editors of this paper are now in Tomb
stone-not entirely for their health,
neither exactly as a matter of choice.
AS gmany of you know, Tombstone is
the comfy seattle abode Of the
county sheriff, as well as many other
eminent and respectable county OIL
cials; it is also the permanent location
of the county bastile- but, stop! you
may infer wrongly; these two editors
are not exactly in the hands of the
sheriff, neither are they in the county
bastile. One, the senior editor, is
there in connection with the fearless
chronicling of deeds of corruption and
evil-which is frequently, but oft
times erroneous!y called libel. The
other-well, he is simply there as a
witness. We may have stepped with
out the realm of etiquette by divulg-
ing the above valuable inside informa-
ton to the general public-however,
the subscription price to the paper will
not be raised.

Some of the republic papers of the

bill introduced in Congress by our del
egate, Mark Smith, claiming that it

Arizona, during the life Of the present

chance for statehood, as rich man has
of entering the kingdom OF heaven, ac
cording to the Bible. The arguments
urged against the measure are far

The republicans nov occupy a novel
position, says the Baltimore Sun. Hith-
erto for many years the policy has been
to spend as much as possible-on PEN
sions, ships, guns, anything-so as to
need a large revenue and higher tariff.
A small expenditure means a low tariff,
or surplus, such as Cleveland ac-
cummulated in his first term, which
suggests to voters the propriety of low
er taxes. But the Dingley act puts du-
ties so high that it cuts off revenues
instead of increasing it. To increase
tariff revenue now the duties must be
lowered. Hence economy is impera-
tive policy for the first time in repub-
lican history in order to preserve high
duties.
