THAT WESTERN AIRSHIP.
"A Monster That Is Causing CONSERVATION
on the Pacific slope

on the PaCItlC slope.
During the past few months there
have come from the Pacific slope repeat
ed and insstent reports with regard to
mysterious airship, seen sailing leisurely
overhead and looking down upon the
world below with an eye of incandescent
brilliancy. l seems that the air monster
is creature Of nocturnal habits, since
it has never been seen in the day time
which suggests that its motors are driv-
en- with The powers of darkness.
The mysterious visitor Was first report
ed from Los Angeles some time ago.
Since then it seems to have struck leis-
urely course eastward, and to have put
in an appearance only SO often as was
necessary to receive good press notices
from the papers. At last advices it was
as far inland as Omaha. At that place
1T caused some CONSERVATION in a subur-
ban district. 1t was about like the old
story: ''Some said it was the moon,
some said nay; some said il was the dew
il, and they all ran away" The thing
came into view from the southeast, with
its signal light, or search light, burning
brightly, lowered over the city for a
time, and disappeared IN the northwest.
Nothing but the light was visible. Many
who have seen it are positive that it was
not star, or the moon or any othe" ce.
lestial body. 1t was too big for star
and too small for the moon.

A MARVELLOUS OPERATION
A STOMACH LAUNDERED BY MEANS
OF X-RAY.
The Operation War Performed in Chi
cagO and Marks an Era Of Pro-
grGss in the Medical
World.
World.

With little machine which looks like
an egg beaten, DR.. FentOn B. Iurck has
performed the feat of laundering the in
side of a mans stomach at the Post
Graduate medical school at Chicago, and
by means of the Roentgen ray he at the
same time viewed the internal apart
ment where his little machine was at
work.
The operation marks an era of prog
ress in the medical world, as the expert
ment was the first of it's kind made in
full view of the operator.
One Of the largest and most complete
Roentgen ray outfits ever produced was
furnished to the college for the expert
ment. Attached to the end of DR..
Eurck's instrument, which is called
gyromele, or revolving sound, was a
flexible cable of spiral steel wire, on the
end of which was a small sponge. The
cable was enclosed in a small tube and
these, with the sponge, were swallowed
by the patient. The latter, wko was
stripped to the waist, then stepped be-
fore the Roentgen light, the doctor then
put the Horoscope to his eyes, and an
attendant turned the handle o. the gy.
romele. The cable reyolved fast or slow
as was directed, the sponge at the farth-
81 end proceeded to it's work of securing
the inner walls of the patients stomach,
while the doctor, through the Horoscope,
viewed the work by locating the electric
cable by means of the X-rays.
BY pressing or pulling on the cable
the various portions of the inner walls
of the stomach were operated upon and
the matter which was gathered in the
sponge was then removed for microscop-
ic examination. No nausea or other DIS.
comfort was felt by the patient, although
he stood before the rays for over an hour
while the doctors in attendance, the
nurses and the operator of the X-ray
outfit and newspaper man examined
his interior.

HELD Up And ROBBED.
DARING HIGHWAYMEN NEAR
WALKER STATION,
Two White Men Victimize a Farm
LabOrer Near the Line of
Calhoun County.

The story of highway robbery that is
not altogether without it's humor comes
from the neIghborhood of Walker Sta
ton. The robbery occurred few mora
ingS ago, and the story was told by a
party who heard the details from the
victim himself.
For several days past pair of susp-
cious looking characters of the genuine
hobo had been seen lodging about in the
Walker Station neighborhood, but no
especial attention was paid to them. On
the morning of the robbery early a negro
man who is day laborer on plantation
On the line of Dougherty and Calhoun
counties was walking along the big road,
when he observed the above mentioned
suspicious characters coming toward
him. They were both armed with Win
chester rifles, and when Immediately op-
posite the unsuspecting darkey they
halted and ordered him to throw up bis
hands, emphasizing the demand by
throwing their rifles in line with his
head.
OF course the negro lost no time in
obeying the demand, and the highway
men at once commenced to go through
their victims pockets. Their search
proved to be anything but encouraging,
for they realized only a quarter in cash.
This did not satisfy them and they qui-
city took possession of the negro's we'll

where he could see the "fun" and de-
liberately went about satisfying their
hunger. The helpless negro could only
stand and see his precious dinner disap-
pear and enjoy the joke as best lie
might. After their r,past the hoboes
returned their dinner pail to its owner,
babe HIM farewell and resumed their
march in the same direction which they
were taking when first seen by the luck

The termination of young Atkinson's
matrimonial escapade is no surprise to
the pubic and meets with almost univer-
sal approval. The perseverance and fl
deity of the y,ung couple have been
admired, ana while few have thought
that Mr.. and Mrs. John Atkinson should
be whipped for being bad children and
then separated the sympathy of great
majority has been with them, and the
termination of the affair was looked for
with great interest. The young people

battle together. They have our best

The announcement that a Flenchman

the scientists out to have filled the Off
Gals of the treasury department at
Washington with direful forebodings.
1t is declared that eff this invention gets
into the hands of Gounterfeiters the fl
nancial system OF every nation employ
ing notes as circulating medium is
threatened" By obtaining paper of
similar quality unscrupulous persons, by
the aid of such Photographic process,
could, it is said, produce exact dupl-
Gates of any bank note extant in the cir
culation of the world. This alarming
"dissolution" of the financial problem
has already set he government off cials
to investigating. The possibilities of
the invention will be thoroughly studied
for it would be fatal if counterfeiter rs
should be the first to become acquainted
with Its SeCrels.

less than my five hundred hussars,
kettle-drums and all, to appear at the
opening of the glade.
But that which really appeared was
very different to anything which had
conceived. Into the clear space there
came galloping fine young man upon
a most beautiful roam horse. He was
fresh faced and pleasant looking. with
the most debonnaire bearing in the
world and the most gallant way of
carrying himself, a way which re-
minded me somewhat of my own. He
wore singular coat which had once
been red all over, but which was now
stained to the color of withered oak
leaf wherever the weather could reach
it. His shoulder straps, however, were
of golden lace, and he had a bright
metal helmet upon his head with a
coquettish white plume upon one side
of its crest. He trotted his horse up the
glade, while behind him there rode four
cavaliers in the same dress-all clean
shaven. with round comely faces, look
ing to me more like monks than
dragons. At n short grutf order they
halted with rattle of arms, while their
leader cantered forward, the fire beat
ing upon his eager face and the beauti-
full head of his charger. I knew Of
course by the strange coats that they
were English. FIt was the first sight
that had ever had Of them, but from
their stout bearing and their masterful
way could see at a glance that what I
had always been told was true. and that
they were excellent people to fight
against.
''Wel. well, wcll!' cried the young
,f1icer. in sufficiently bad French:
