STOMACHS TAKEN OUT.
Woman and Man Undergo the New Opera
ton.
BOTH HAD CANCER OF THE STOMACH.


Chicago. Jan. 15.--under unfavorable |
conditions. the operation of removing |
the stomach from woman, which was
successfully performed in Zurich last
September and startled the surgical
world. was repeated yesterday in Mil
waukoe, by DIR. d. p. G. Hankwitz Of
the Wisconsin city hospital. Mrs. II.
Bestain was the patient.
The stomach was removed. but Mrs.
Bestain died four hours after the re-
moval of the organ.
Mrs. Bestain was n sufferer for years
with cancer of the stomach. November
26th last. an operation to remove the
cancer was performed. but it was not
successful, as the cancerous growth i'm
medlately reformed. She was still
weak from the effects of the first oper-
alton when the physicians decided that
another operation would be necessary.
| When told that 1t was the only hope
! that they had of saving her life, weak
as she was, Mrs. Bestain readily con-
! scented, and II was decided that the
only possible operation which could
benefit her was the same which DIR.
4 Carl Schlatter had performed.
The physicians closely followed the
/ Schlatter operation, and carefully re-
moved the entire organ. They found
then that the cancer had not only af-
fected the stomach. but that 1t had
also consumed much of the other
tissues.
This necessitated the removal of mere
of the tissues than the surgeons
thought necessary. They. however,
performed the operation successfully,
but on account Of the weak condition
of the patient, she was not able to sur
vive.
MAN FARES DIFFERENTLY.
st. Louis. Mo-. Jan. 15.-Conrad Beck,
n machinest, 46 years of age, is to
first man in the world to have his
stomach removed. He was sent to the
hospital to be operated upon for can
GER of the stomach. Wednesday morn
ing the operation was performed.
When the abdomen was opened it was
found that the disease extended the
whole length from the esophagus to
| within one inch of the pyloris. The
latter outlet of the stomach was en-
trely free from the disease.
All the stomachic viscera We're re-
moved. Then the pyloris was sewed
to the esophagus, making a complete
! and perfect duct. The operation was
finished in two hours and six min
utes.

We desire to say, young man. that
if you expect to go into politics, in
our opinion, you can not afford to be-
your friends, If YOU will keep your
eye on the Republicans in Ohio who
tried to sell out the party to the Dem
ocracy you will find that they will hit
the ceiling, politically. sooner or later,
and we think it will be sooner Mark
Hanna may not be the best man for
Ohio to send to the United States
senate, but he was made an issue in
the campaign and was the expressed
choice of nine-tenths of the RepuDli-
cans elected to the legislature
The action of the boilers was a piece
of political treachery which will, or
ought. to put every Republican who
participated in it in his political
grave.
We have no criticisms to offer of
the Democrats who joined the bolters
to down Hanna. From the stand
point it was good politics. But even
the Democrats viii have no use for
political traitors.
The American people don't take to

use HIM to beat the majority. but
they use him on the same principle
