CURE FOR APPENDICITIS.
New York Physician Relieves a Patient
Without Instruments.

Without Instruments.
New York. June l3.-Dr George
Helmer, New York doctor, has cured
patient of appendicitis in eight min
utes without the use of a knife. ice
packs, or poultices. He applied one
hand to point midway between the
top OF the right leg and point above
the stomach, then bent up the right
leg of the patient at the knee joint,
and gave the leg slight twist, by
means of quick motion, repeated two
or three times, and the operation was
over. This forced out of the appendix
the cloggng PARTICLES that occupied it.
Just back of the appendix is the largest
muscle in the human body, known as
the psoas magnus 1t is attached to
the fermur or big bone of the leg, and
is the muscle by which one can revolve
the leg as on pivot at the heel. 1t
is this muscle which is made to do the
trick of emptying the appendix. Using
the fingers of one hand to hold the
walls of the abdomen in place, and
to prevent rupture of delicate internal
structures, with the other hanL spas
modic contraction of the psoas magnus
is brought about, which snaps it against
the appendix and forces out of that or
gan whatever foreign substances it
may contain.

Shortage of Tin.

A new phase in the salmon canning
operations has just cropped up at Van
couver, b. c., and may result in a
complication of affairs which was un-
looked for. Every indication points to
the run OF sockeyes being large, but if
1t is, the Gamers will be unable to cope
with it, owing to the shortage of tin
plate. Not single box of tin plate
can be found on the Pacific coast.
Across the line it has been very scarce,
and the market is now depleted.

DIVORCED AND REMARKED.
Last Chapter of n Romantic Story OF
True Love and War.


Chicago, Juns IA special to the
Chronicle from Highmore, S. a., says:
The return to this town of a man and
woman, divorced five years ago, but
who are again husband and wife, adds
the last chapter to romantic story of
love and war.
Five years ago Henry Ballantyne
and wife, of this place. agreed to sep
arate. They had been married not
quite II months. Ballantyne was
prosperous grain-buyer, and owned
several good farms near Highmore.
These he decided to his wife. The few
hundred dollars he was able to scrape
together in cash to put in his own
pocket and left to begin life afresh in
new location. AS soon as he had gone,
his wife sued for divorce. There was
no defense, and decree was granted.
The land given her by her husband
size sold to advantage, and by shrewd
relnVestments accumulated within the
next few years comfortable fortune.
The past winter she spent in South
ern California. On her way home a
month ago she stopped in San Fran
cisco. On the street there one day she
met an emaciated figure in army blue,
hobbling about with the aid of heavy
cane, in vain search for employment.
1t was Ballantyne, discharged from the
United States volunteer service, and
invalided home from the Philippines
after fever which left him in such
poor health as to destroy his usefulness
as a soldier.
Ballantyne was about to pass his
former wife without speaking to her,
but she, when she saw his wasted form
and miserable condition, felt all her
old love for him revive. She hurried
him into carriage and to her hotel,
where comfortable quarters, good food
and the services of competent physi-
clan soon produced a marked improve
ment in his health. Last week the
two were remarked and have just re-
turned to Highmore together

The Mammoth cave of Kentucky,

Maniac Broke From Wardner Stockade
and Was Drowned.
Wardner, Idaho, June 19.-Under
the fire OF his negro guard, Mike john
son, crazy and desperate, made a dash
for liberty by jumping into the river
today. Down the rapid stream he
bobbed like a great black cork, while
on the bank his kee per, breaking
through the underbrush. peppered at
him with his Krag-Jorgenson rife.
Somehow or other, the floating target
evaded the fire, but the treacherous
eddies were too much for him, and
Johnson was drowned. His body was
found 90 minutes later.
He was one of the men under arrest
in the bull pen on suspicion of having
been connected with the dynamite
outrages Of April 30. For some days
he had been acting strangely, and it
was feared that he was STEERING from
re-attack OF insanity, with which he
was formerly afflicted. Yesterday
afternoon, an examination by tho pro-
bate Judge proved that such was the
case, and he was to have been taken
today to Wallace for detention.

lnrst of Yesterday, which swelled the
vors of this portion of the state out
I ,bpir banks, and caused a great loss
a nronerty, was much worse than re-
sorted last night. Many people are re-
sOrted to have perished, meager reports
,cnipht placing the number at 20.
Today reports came from San Saba
srd NIanardville, small towns, 90
1iles north of here, in the mountains,
sovino that both towns had been swept
N the raging floods, and were devas-
bted. In San Saba, eight people were
drowned and tre entire town is report

Nat point is one mile wide and rum

a houses we're swept away. and this
nmning several more gave way into

tbeir voyavge down the stream. The
liver is reported as rising at other
places, and grave fears are entertained
Nat the entire country in that neigh
borbood will be laid to waste.
a San Saba is located in valley, and
fast tracts of wheat fields are under
Mater. These crops will prove total
bss. Many persons. according to re-
ports received here today, had diff
culty in getting to high land before the
gise came. The situation at Manard-
Mile is even more serious. A small

Bend OF the river in the valley. it
proved an easy prey to the raging tor
sent. Seventeen people are known to
bave been drowned there, and there
nay be others. OF those drowned, two
we're young white girls, Lydia and
ANA Wells. The others were all ne
gloes, who we're living in cabins close
ID the river front. and were caught in
ihe food before they could make their
Eay to safety, owing to the darkness
q the night. All the surrounding
country is inundated.
This additional flood has not yet
reached Austin, but it is expected here

loot lise is expected. The big dam
and power-house at this point has been
pnder heavy strain since yesterday,
owing to the terrific force Of the food.

Owing to the fact that all telegraphio

The Sabine Banner offers this
suggestion relative to the cotton
situation:
''Repeal the law in all the South
etn States that gives a lien on cot
ton for supplies advanced and the
effect will be threefold. First, it
will greatly diminish the amount of
cotton raised, second it will diver
sify and multiply productions;
and third it will result in an in
crease in the price of cotton,so that
there would be profit in raising it
to the farmer who is not forced to
raise it to obtain ruinous credit. ,;
