Triumphs in Surgery.

Cleansing Of the wound itself was ale
most surgical heresy few years ago.
says the Forum. Fouled bandages
were the rule; and the thicker and more
abundant the discharges the more
'1audable" they were considered to be.
Hence In the older works ON surgery
the so-called 'laudable'' pus was a.
much sign Of safety as It Is now Of
danger. Cleanliness OF instruments,
now prime consideration. was then
entirely ignored. Oftentimes the same
instruments would be used at differ
ent times upon the dead as well as tho
living body; and a celebrated operator
Of that day was accustomed to hold hie
knife between his teeth when hio
hands were temporarily employed In
the wound II a cut healed rapidly e
was rarity sufficiently great to court
comment. Now the exact opposite =
the fact. The former result was rather
an accident Of cleanliness than the d.
liberate acknowledgment Of whA4
should have been the rule. Consequent
~ the most careful surgeons those
who possessed instructive habits o9
neatness and cleanliness-were tn
most successful.

One OF the queerest clubs in the
world is the Lazy Club" Of Vienna.
It is said to have a membership Of 100
and there are thousands waiting for
admission. No member of this organi-
cation can do anything for a living,
and the slightest suspicion Of work
that rests on a member means his ex-
pulsi0n.
An interesting illustration Of the In
dams clever horsemanship was given
by a young buck at Wilbur, WASH, a
few days ago. Carrying in his hand an
ordinary cup brimful Of water, he rode
on a cayuse at full gallop the length Of
the main street and returned without
spillirg SO much as a drop of the
water.
There is curious society in London
called the Grabs Club" It is made
up of men who have met with a great
disappointment in life, and the club
meets once month. At these times
the members are not allowed to repeat
their hard-luck stories, but, on the con-
trary, form a merry company, and en-
deavor for that time to forget their
woes.

THE wooDFoRD NOTE

Exrresses the Hone on the Part of ths
United States That the War Will BE
Brought to a Speedy Close in the Interest
OF All Concerned.
CHICAGO, Oct. "A Washington spe-
cial to the Times-Herald says: 1t is
now possible Tor the Times Herald to
give, not the exact text of the famous
Woodford note to Spain, but a falr
statement of its substance.
This celebrated and much discussed
document simply expresses, on the
part of the United States. the hope
as speedily as possible, but there is no
date fixed when the contamination is to
be reached, and that the interests OF
Spain, no less than the interests OF the
United States, the interests of human
ity and the interests of the world at
large are reasons why the war should
be ended with the least possible de-
lay.
And with that in view, acting as
friend of Spain, because of the great
stake which the United States has in
Cuba financially and otherwise, be-
cause of the annoyance to which the
United States has been put by main
tanning patrol over and preventing
the sailing of flibustering expeditions,
and because civilization opposes war,
the United States tenders to Spain its
good offices to act as a friend between
the mother country and her rebellious
colony in the hope that she may be
able to effect a settlement and bring
the warfare to a close.
This is all there is in the note. There
is not the faintest suggestion of this
government forcing upon Spain her
good offices if she does not care to vol
UNFAIRLY accept them, nor is there an
intimation that the war must be
brought to an end by certain time or
that Spain must return answer to this
note by a fixed date.

THE QUEEN REGENT

SolicitOus for Spain's Relations With the
United States and to Avert the Loss of
Cuba.
New YORK, Oct "A special to the
World from Madrid, Spain, by way of
Bayonne, says: In all her consultations
with the Spanish generals and the
leaders of the political parties the
queen regent has laid stress chiefly
upon the question of Spain's relations
with the United States and the best
me ans of averting the loss of Cuba
through prOlongation of the war and
consequent American Intervention,
thereby imperilling the stability of her
sons throne, let alone playing into the
hands of the republicans and CarIists,
who have been especially troublesome
of late.
The queen also insisted strongly
upon discussing whether her Spanish
rule in the West Indies would not be
jepordized by too extended grant of
autonomy. thus enabling the separatists
and autonomists to prepare gradually
and legally their evolution towards
independence.
She earnestly asked the statesmen
if they really believed a liberal gov
eminent would be strong enough to
make the majority of the Spaniards. ac-
cept EXTENDED home rule, involving a
sacrifice of Spanish material interests
in the colonial markets and heavy
burden for the Spanish treasury, if
saddled with part of the Cuban debt
The queen questioned whether Sa-
gasta would be able to restrain public
opinion, the press and the opposition
parties if he made concessions to the
colonies under the pressure of Ameri-
can diplomacy.
The queen can not believe success
would crown so complete a reversal of
the policy which had been followed for
the last two years and half
1t seems that some, if not all, of her
loyal advisors had the courage to tell
the queen regent that the alternative
lies between a sincere trial of a new
policy embracing an understanding
with the United States and the greater
question of a conflict with America,
probably entailing the loss of the
colonies

TRAIN HELD UP.
Bandits Rob the Express Car and Passen-
gers Near Mincn. in the Indian TerritnrY.

Bandits Rob the Express Car and Passen-
gers Near Minco, in the Indian Territory.
Ell RENO, Okla, Oct. 2-Bandits robb-
ed southbound Rock Island passenger
train and all its passengers at II o'clock
Friday forenoon at siding No. 1, about
five miles south of Minco, in the Indian
territory. The railroad and express
officials have feared a hold-up in
that section for several weeks,
and armed guards have been
put aboard all night trains at Ell Reno
and carried through to Chickasha. 1t
had not been thought that the outlaws
were bold enough to attack a train in
midday. Friday morning the train
men were completely surprised and
they were not prepared to offer any re-
sistance when five masked NEIL came
upon them at the lonely siding.
Under the pressure of Winchesters
and ugly-lookjng six-shooterS the train
men, the express messenger and all of
the score or more of passengers were
made to climb down from the train and
stand in line, hands up, on the prairie
along the railway. While three of the
robbers covered the badly frightened
crowd with their guns the other two
coolly and carefully robbed them, pass
ing from one passenger to another
down the line. The bandits secured
about $500 in cash and such other val
uabIes, in the way of watches, pins and
jewelry as were in sight.
The passengers and trainmen having
been thoroughly plucked, three of the
bandits turned their attention to the
express and mail coaches, the others
standing guard over the helpless crowd
on the prairie. The registered mail
pouches were quickly rifed, but
the through safe in the express car
resisted all the force and ingenu-
ity of the road agents. When
the messenger had convinced the
bandits that he could not open the
strong box they resorted to dynamite.
Several heavy charges were exploded,
but the safe proved bandit proof, and
though it was badly battered, it's con-
tents were saved to the express COM
pany.
Having taken forcible possession of
everything that they could carry away,
the bandits mounted their horses and
rode off toward the west. A posse is
in pursuit.

POISON IN COFFEE.
The Mother and Four of Her Sever
Children Are Dead.
Fifth Child Dying and the Sixth Victim SisA
An Older Son Became Alarmed Over
Remark Made by the Mother and
Left the Breakfast Table.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. A special to
the Bee from Schuyler, Neb., says:
During Sunday forenoon Frank
Steinad came hastily in from Shell
Creek precinct, nine miles northeast,
to summon a physician to the home of
Frank Divis, where he said the whole
family had been poisoned. DIR. Sixta
fastened out and found four of the
seven children in the family and their
mother dead, a fifth child in a
dying condition, and a sixth vic
tim sick. Mr.. Divis and his oldest
son went away early in the morning,
leaving before the rest of the family
breakfasted. When the meal was pre-
pared all sat down and early in the
course of the meal Mrs. Davis made
some such remark as: Eat good
breakfast and we'll all go together -
An older sons mind was affected
by the remark to the extent
that he did not appease his ap-
petite. A daughter, younger than the
son, after drinking about half cup of
coffee, became sick and vomited. The
rest of the family continued the morn
ing meal, although the children made
very wry faces and said the coffee did
not taste good. Strychnine had been
put into the coffee which soon showed
its effects when those not Frustrated
spread the alarm, but not soon enough
to avoid the fatal effects noted.
